It has taken some effort to figure out what format video can be displayed on the D2.
There are two places that files can be dropped, the video folder or the flash folder. If the file is not in a proper format, it doesn't even appear in the list of options in the media player.
things that work[edit]
- bible lesson in WMV format dropped in VIDEO folder (nice small file size)
090111_902wbl_wm_225k_1047.wmv: Microsoft ASF
- VLC describes this format:
- Stream 0
- Codec: wma2
- Type: audio
- Channels: 2
- Sample rate: 32KHz
- Bits per sample: 16
- Bitrate: 32 kb/s
- Stream 1
- Codec: wmv3
- Type: video
- Resolution: 320x240
- bible lesson in AVI format dropped in VIDEO (the web pages calls this Mpeg 4 video, requires Divx codec)
090111_902wbl_divx_video_1047.avi: RIFF (little-endian) data, AVI, 320 x 240, ~30 fps, video: DivX 5, audio: MPEG-1 Layer 3 (stereo, 24000 Hz)
- Here is what VLC says about this file format:
- stream 0
- codec: dx50
- type: video
- resolution: 320x240
- framerate: 29.97
- stream 1
- codec: mpga
- type: audio
- channels: 2
- sample rate: 24000 Hz
- bitrate: 56 kb/s
things that don't work[edit]
- bible lesson in ipod quicktime mp4 format
090111_902wbl_ipod_video_1047.mp4: ISO Media, MPEG v4 system, version 2
- youtube videos in flv format (tried putting them in both flash and video folders)
Atlantic_Salmon_Webcam.flv: Macromedia Flash Video
So why is there a flash folder, if flash isn't recognized? The technical specs don't mention flash videos.
According to the published specs, these are the only video file formats supported:
AVI : MPEG4 ~ 2Mbps, 320x240, 30fps, MP3 audio WMV : WMV9 ~ 768kbps, 320x240, 30fps, WMA audio

This works if I start with a Flash movie as the source
:sout=#transcode{vcodec=WMV2,vb=800,scale=1,acodec=mp3,ab=128,channels=2}
:duplicate{dst=std{access=file,mux=asf,dst=presto.wmv}}
However, if I start with a DVD VOB, it crashes VLC
- encapsulation: asf/wmv
- video codec: wmv2
- audio codec: mp3
- result: unknown
This also works if I start with a Flash movie as the source. This crashes VLC if I use a DVD VOB as the source.
- encapsulation: mp4
- video codec: mpeg-4
- audio codec: mpeg audio
