Files not play right away

The number of encoding and compression schemes currently used to create video file is very extensive and seems to change on a weekly basis. There are so many standards and formats that it is very possible that the video file you download form the internet will not play right away on you device, Due to certain “variation”. Even when video files are attend in MPEG4 they may not play right away.

If you have video files of these or other types that you would like to view on it, they will have to be converted first, to re-encode them into the proper XviD or Divx MPEG4 format.

Defragment the unit hard disk

Defragment the unit hard disk may be useful after reading or writing to your computer via the USB connection. Make sure no other program is running while using the Windows defragmenter utility.

If we find new file names or folder names that we never created, the unit FAT has been corrupted. This due to the unit shutting down while reading or writing to your computer via the USB connection. You should use the Error Checking utility or the Check Disk utility in he Widows.
