Close-Up Look:
So now we know a little about this product let's take a look at it.
Front Of Pod
The front of the device is basically all screen. It does have a nice white surround around it which does feels comfortable to hold when you are using it.
Left Side Of Pod
On the left side you can see we have the AV-In and AV-Out. By using the provided cables with this you can connect the POD to any device that has a composite video interface on it. The other ports are the headphone socket USB port and the power socket. The final pin sized hole on the far right is the internal microphone.
Right Side Of Pod
On the right hand side we have only three things. The first is the hold button. This is found on all portable device players these days and is gratefully seen here. I really do hate it when you pull out your portable device only to find that it has bumped itself on during travel and as no power left in it. On the far right is the jog switch. This is used to control the device once it is operating. It can be flicked left or right to fast-forward or rewind and can also be pressed down to act as a button. In the middle of these two is the reset button. This is used to reset the device if it gets stuck or fails to respond.
Top Of Pod
On the top here you can se we have all the standard video controls along with the power button. The only new button is the first one on the left which turns the LCD screen on or off. This is great if you are listening to music as you can save valuable power by not having it on.
Bottom Of Pod
Not much on the bottom as this is where the kick stand sits when it is attached.
Back Of Pod
Once again not much on the back of the device. Most of it is covered when the kick stand is attached. However it does have four strips of rubber on it to stop it sliding around when placed on a table.
Kick Stand in Use
Here we can see the kick stand in use. It is quite comfortable to watch an entire movie with the device in this position.
Introduction
I don't understand very well the question. Actually, XviD is a MPEG-4 encoder, not a new format. I guess there is confusion between codec and format here. XviD-encoded files can be played with a lot of players that can decode MPEG-4. for instance, the ffmpeg MPEG-4 decoder is enough to read efficiently XviD files under Windows, Linux or Mac.
So if DVXPOD has a problem to read XviD files, the problem lies elsewhere.
Archos AV700 anyone!? this have been around for years AND plays XviD. This thing is retailing at £399, it three years too late I'm afraid!
