Nook HD Video File Support?

[ErylFlynn]

I popped over 4 files for my daughter. They are MP4, and the encoding doesn't seem simply to be the cause. The 2 that worked, one used AVC the other MP4 encoders. The 2 that failed were both under the MP4 codec. The only thing so far I see could be bitrate.

Do we have a spec sheet anywhere that has full detailed video file capability? So I know how to save the files for the Nook HD?

Yup, there is a spec sheet for video compatibility. It is located here:

Is that what the codec inside the nook support list or the actual hardware support list? Say if you are on CM10 or use different player, the codec can be different right?

My understanding: the hardware GPU is involved only so far as the system invokes it. The software actually determines the codecs. You can get more by downloading a player like BS Player with additional codecs. How well they will perform on the hardware depends some on the kernel tho...

Thanks!

And yes other players can support other files. Like on my old Droid X, added AVI and other support with a 3rd party player. Since this is for my daughter and I want to keep the Nook HD UI for child lock I need to match what it can do natively.

Ah HA, think I found the issue. Doesn't support more than 4.1 audio, the files that work are 2 channel, the ones that do not are 6. Going to give this a go, and should have it working.
