Dingoo A320 forum

I re-encoded some full length movies as well as some short videos to watch on my Dingoo, but it only played the short videos, it just froze when trying to open the full length movies.
This really sucks because even my old Razr Vm3 cell phone can play these movies without any problems. I would think the Dingoo is much more capable.

Is my Dingoo defective or is this a limitation?

The video was re-encoded using Nero Recode, the file format is .MP4
The resolution is 320 x 240 px, bitrate about 150 - 200 Kbps, the size of the files are 200 - 300 MB.

Thanks for any info on this.

I am playing movies a lot on my Dingoo and all work fine. I am converting the most movies to xvid4 video+ac3 audio and in avi contaiter and resize them to 320x240 - all this with the free Avisynth program. I have tried with 700MB standard movies which are also encoded in xvid and they play fine too.
I can guess the format of your movies is something non-standard or the files need reindexing so the internal player of Dingoo can play them normally.

PS: If Dingoo Linux's MPlayer can run movies smoothly, it will be easier to just put a movie file in Dingoo and run it because from my experience, MPlayer does correct many things automatically and it can play so many formats.

I've found that the Dingoo has some problems with certain codecs when using .mp4 container, I recommend using avi like iliyan said.

Thanks for the replies.

I think it's standard format, I used standard settings in Nero Recode. It plays the smaller files just fine, same exact format. It just fails with the larger files. I'm guessing this might be another of the many software bugs in the Dingoo.
What exactly do you mean files need reindexing? How do I try that?

What is the best video format to play on the Dingoo? (I'm looking for the one that gives best quality with smaller file size)
