Help needed

 

I have a seagate home network drive with built in media server using dnla

 

I access this with my 2 sony blueray players and my ps3    and more recently my new tablet s

 

the problem I have is ive converted most of my 1200gb of films into avi to suit my ps3 & BR players

 

and now I read that my new tablet does not support avi files

 

any recommendations on what to do for the best  

 

I am currently using the bubbleupnp as a work around but its not great

 

ideally I wanted to use the seagateshare software but this only uses the default  video player which on my tablet does not support avi

 

 

thanks

    I know

     

    you would think buying all sony gadgets, would mean they would all work together  using the same video and audio support   but No

     

    sound like one devision of sony isnt talking to the other       come on sony get a move on and sort out a set of standards for all your gear

     

    thats why apple are doing so well

    for 2011 models of Bravia, BluRay and PS3 they have moved to mp4 - part of problem is pre-2011 models,
    which do not get the type of firmware updates that add originally not supported formats.

    I've used Handbrake to convert DVDs to MP4 and have used it recently to get videos on to my tablet. Works fine

    I have checked the Sony update page and although there were firmware updates for both my tv's (which i have successfully done they still do not play the video although they will through the PS3.

    What are you using to convert to MP4?
