srtgumbee: Thanks FPR for your post. That was very helpful to me....and no doubt others that are reading.
Great to know that it can play .avi and mpeg as it is likley I trancode my current media into a format the HD6000 can play.
I have one curious question, every Xvid and Divx file I have has an *.AVI extention. Do you know if your .avi
was NOT a divx encoded avi? Its a moot point really, looks lile I will get one of these HD6000 units and find out what media at home it can/cannot play.....will then post some feedback on here
Cheers SRT
allan:jonathan18: In regards to the quote above - can you give a length of time of how long it takes to boot up? My PVR probably takes 10 seconds - is it that sort of time or longer?
Not in front of mine, but I'd say more like 15-20 seconds actually.
FPR: I have played .avi & .mpg movies on it. It didn’t play divx, mp4 or flv movies.
FPR: I just checked the avi movies I played. Video compression on the first one was Xvid & video compression on the second was DivX (both .avi video's)So it does play DivX and Xvid encoded .avi files. Presumably the DivX file(s) that it wouldn't play had a different file extension (perhaps .divx). If that's the case, a simple rename of the file to .avi would probably do the trick.

Edit: The other possibility is that it won't play files encoded with one of the really old versions of DivX, a number of players don't like DivX 3.
juliant: Got one yesterday too - tried playing one divx encoded .avi file (movie). It worked but the aspect ratio was screwed (it filled the whole 16x9 screen and stretched the picture vertically to do this). Tried changing the video output to 580p, 720p, 1080i - no difference.
Playing the same file from my PC onto the same TV via my xbox360 (as I normally do it), the aspect ratio was fine ie black bars top and bottom because it was a 2.35:1 movie (as most seem to be).
So its seems the Vantage doesnt handle things as well as the xbox360 in this respect.
Of couse I could be doing something wrong - any suggestions but setting on the Vantage I could tweak?
