I have a Pearl and it's supposed to play .avi and .mov files. I tried several and it keeps saying file type not supported. What am I doing wrong?

It doesn't support AVI or MOV. They only play h.264, wmv, and mp4.

This is from their website:

Video

The following video formats are supported:

• MPEG-4 Part 2 - Simple Profile + bvops (including DivX® files in this format)
• H.263 Profile 0 and Profile 3 (Supported file formats are .avi, .3gp, .mp4, .mov, Video - up to QCIF (176x144))
• WMV 9 Simple Profile Video Decoder

The following video file extensions are also supported:

• .avi containing MPEG4 Part 2 and H.263
• .mov containing MPEG4 Part 2 and H.263
• .3gp containing MPEG4 Part 2 and H.263
• .mp4 containing MPEG4 Part 2 and H.263
• .m4v containing MPEG4 Part 2 and H.263
• .mpg containing MPEG4 Part 2 and H.263

Note: The BlackBerry 8830 World Edition smartphone is not able to play .avi files.


Anyways, if that doesn't mean what I think it should mean, is there a way I can convert an .avi or .mov file to be playable on it? What would I use?

[IssuessBratte]

The files must be encoded in H.263 to be playable. You probably have .avis encoded in DivX or XviD

[ambiddetcat]

So there's no way to convert them?

[IssuessBratte]

Sure there is. But I can't remember how to do it, haven't done any encoding in forever.[rofl]

Sorry! [rofl]
