Touch the screen to Hide / Show the overlaid video file information.
8.1 The Resume Functions
On the Pockets AV/ARCHOS tab, you will notice the Resume icon. Select this icon for
example after having switched off your PMA430 to continue playing the last played
audio or video file from where you left off.
Moreover, if you have stopped a video file in mid play, the next time you highlight that
video file, you will notice a movie clipboard icon in the upper menu bar. By clicking on
this icon, the video file will start from the place where you last stopped it.
8.2 Display Format Settings
While you are watching a video, you have the following menu items.
Display
You can get file information about the video you are watching or set the audio equalizer.
Video
You will notice that you have a number of display format options.
These format options allow you to adapt videos recorded in different
formats for viewing on the internal LCD screen or on the TV. When
watching your video on the LCD, the default format is Maximise, on
the TV, it is Full. To choose the most appropriate format option for a
particular video file, you can change this setting at any time.
Full Show the entire image, do not cut off any part of it.
4:3 The image is cropped to have a 4 by 3 aspect ratio and enlarged until it fills the screen
16:9 The image is cropped to have a 16 by 9 aspect ratio and enlarged until it fills the screen horizontally
Max The size and aspect ratio is chosen automatically to give the best possible perception on the internal LCD.
8.3 Playing Video Files from the Internet
The number of encoding and compression schemes currently used to create video files is very
extensive and seems to change on a weekly basis. There are so many standards, formats, and
encryption methods that it is very possible that the video file you download from the Internet will
34
not play right away on your device. Due to certain “variations”, even when video files are
formatted in “MPEG4” they may not play right away. The PMA430 series can play video files of
type MPEG4 Simple Profile which have an MP3, PCM (standard .wav) or IMA-ADPCM
(compressed .wav) audio sound track. It can play such video files at a maximum size of 720 by
576 pixels (25 frames/second). The PMA430 will not directly play files of type .mov, .mpg,
.mpeg. If you have video files of these other types that you would like to view on your PMA430,
they will have to be converted first. You will have to use the software found in the ARCHOS
folder to re-encode them into the proper MPEG4 format with an MP3, PCM, or IMA-ADPCM
sound track. See the chapter Creating MPEG4 Video Files with your Computer for details..
