Hi Rill, I have found with the NLS player, if the stream is like that, it has problems with too high of bit rate. Perhaps try the same format at a lower bit rate. HTH.

I am taking a course on coursera.org. I am downloading the videos. They are in mp4 format. I would like to convert them to ogg -- free software and all that. I use ffmpeg to do this. The files convert just fine and I can play them on both my laptop and the pi. However, when I copy these files to a device which can play ogg files such as a Victor Reader Stream or Sansa Clip Zip, they don't play. Victor Reader Stream says error. When I did the same thing but made the files mp3, it plays on the Victor Reader Stream. Can anyone shed any light on this? I am using ffmpeg -i video.mp4 audio.ogg or audio.mp3. BTW, if any of you have already taken a course on coursera, I'd like to hear about it. I'll know more after I have submitted my first assignment and given peer feedback. This is a whole new experience for me. I went to school with reel to reel tape and card catalogs. Rill -- Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the Kingdom of Heaven.
