Please note: While Rapsody RSH-100/250 support the majority of the important video and audio formats, it will never be possible to support all. Basically MPEG1, MPEG2 (also VOB and ISO) and MPEG4 are supported. For MPEG4 there are a lot of different sub-formats, we fully support DivX (including latest version 6.x. But GMC and QPEL options inside the DivX file as well as the new DivX container format DMF - including navigation menus - are not supported due to hardware restrictions), some XviD versions are supported as well.

Generally not supported formats due to hardware decoder chip limitations in RSH-100/250: WMV, QuickTime and all HD-Video resolutions (720p/1080i/1080p). WMV and HD videos are supported by N35+N36.

You may use AviCheck or GSpot to check what's really inside your video files (as the AVI extension is just a container format for about everything).

(Use of external programs is at your own risk! We provide no support for AVICheck or GSpot. The rights to such programs are in the possession of the respective owners.)
