Converting with Xvid4psp

Winnydows Xvid4psp is a very easy and useful software for converting troublesome video files to a compliant format for the NMT.

Camera Footage

Many consumer grade digital cameras record video which are either stored in proprietary containers like Quicktime, use non supported video formats like M-JPEG or unsupported audio formats like PCM.
DV Videocameras records in the DV format stored in .avi containers, also not supported

These files need re-encoding before they will play on the NMT.

3. Under settings select the following as displayed in screen-shot above:-

Format: MKV (preferred format to use on the NMT)

Audio encoding: AC3 192k (if audio needs to be converted, else just select "copy" if original audio track all ready works on the NMT)

4. Finally hit the "Encode" button to start conversion to a new file.
