HDD Player can’t play mkv – workaround?
August 2nd, 2016
I have an iomega Screenplay HD plus device. It can’t handle .mkv files but all the other formats work. Now, with my machine, dual core 4800+ 2Gig Ram an 8GB mkv with 720p takes about 16 hours to convert to Xvid .avi.. is that normal? Are there any workarounds that I can use to get the job done faster without losing quality? Thank you!

Using the HDMI or component outputs, the user can choose video settings from 480i/480p/720p/1080i (720p and1080i are achieved through upscaling). Supported media formats include MP3, AC3 (Dolby� Digital Encoding), WAV, WMA, MPEG-1, MPEG-2 (AVI/VOB), MPEG-4 (AVI/DiVX 3.11, 4.x, 5.x/XViD) and JPEG.
Too bad, but this device won’t play any HD formats. Therefor you have to convert your 720p/1080p content into normal standard definition (720×480).

HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface) — supports 480p, 576p, 720p 50/60 Hz, and 1080i 50/60 Hz

Answer #4
I use AVIdemux to covert to xvid and it takes me a length of time about equal to or under the length of the movie
guesstimate of about 45-60 mins per hour of movie on a C2D E8500(3.1GHz) CPU
but I am converting mHD (720p under a gig) not full HD so not sure what that duz to encoding times
you are just changing frame size and maintain current bitrate & framerate ?
video
format – MPEG-4 ASP (xvid)
settings – VIDEO SIZE (2-pass)
audio
format – AC3 or MP3
setting – bitrate of your choice
FORMAT
avi

Did you understood my replay anyway? This device isn’t capable playing video files with a native resolution of 1920×1080 px. It just plays standard definition.
If you pop in a normal DVD, DivX or whatever this device just upscale the video into 720p or 1080i (i for interlaced).
This device also from iomega can handle Full-HD files: Iomega ScreenPlay Director

sell it to someone who doesn’t have a hdtv or isn’t interested if it can play HD files and buy a proper player!

Time to pull out the big guns eh ? Tell him the file size will magicly double or that his computer will brake down if he dosnt keep his media in chains.
