Message: [QUOTE="AnonymousCookieMonster, post: 48550, member: 3229"] Avi is just a container, and you can probably change that easily. mkv is also a container, but is more open than mp4 or avi. I've seen more problems with a TV refusing to do playback of DivX contents, but a tool to change the codec to generic FourCC codec ([I]no content changes[/I]) removes that. So it may take a few minutes, but converting avi to mp4 or mkv is pretty easy. I can write you a quick script to use in batch, you just need FFMPEG. [URL unfurl="true"]https://ffmpeg.org/download.html[/URL] If you use linux, probably use your apt or other package installer to download it. The basic way to do a conversion is to tell it to just copy. example [code]ffmpeg -i inputfile.avi -c copy outputfile.mp4[/code] Done! A batch file will be one of two. [code]find "$@" -exec ffmpeg -i {} -c copy {}.mp4 \;[/code] or for windows [code]for /r %%i in (*.avi) do ffmpeg -i "%%i" -c copy "%%~ni.mp4"[/code] As for what your TV supports... the Samsung one i looked at had a manual entry and gave specifications for codecs, bitrates, and containers... I want to say most will be supported, but when you have the choice between licensing and not licensing, you go with free more often, so it may become ogg/vorbis and AV1, rather than MPEG/AAC.
