Tracked as http://www.ventismedia.com/mantis/view.php?id=9484
But note, H264 in AVI is not standard, you should use e.g. MP4 or MKV for storing AVC/H264 stream.

[KJIACC]

Unfortunately, my car video recorder stores video in this format.

[MiPi]

We will try to fix this for 4.1 version.

[brohandy]

Why is it that some videos, though all avi file types, won't display and some will? Are some projects missing a file or something important?

[Peke]

As like Michal explained in http://www.mediamonkey.com/forum/viewto ... 75#p342175 it could be non standard containers in AVI that some apps ignore but MM fail to play. More details would be needed.

[MiPi]

brohandy: AVI is only container. It is kind of envelope, that contains audio, video and subtitle streams. These streams can me encoded by different encoders to different stream formats. Audio stream could be raw PCM, MP3, MP2, AC3, DTS, AAC, etc., video stream could be MPEG4 (XVID/DIVX/....), AVC/H264, MPEG2, VC6, etc.. For every video file player needs to have some container splitter, which will extract audio/video/subtitle streams from the container, and decoders for encoded streams. In case there is some decoder missing or splitter is missing or cannot extract given stream format from container correctly, the file cannot be played. In the case above, AVI splitter cannot extract AVC/H264 stream to format, that H264 decoder understands. It is caused by incompatibility between AVI and H264 (standard H264 cannot be inserted to standard AVI).

Hi, I noticed the same issue when (just by chance) found my Panasonic TVs recorded videos im MM5. Is there a way to add special codecs to MM5?

[Lowlander]

A generic code pack like K-lite can add codecs to your system.
