Superb! Thanks a lot! Unfortunately, my Q7 still has no display. I was wondering if there is a schematic diagram for the player anywhere. In case you know of any, please post it too. Thanks a lot! Hi Balaji,

Unfortunately, my Q7 still has no display. I was wondering if there is a schematic diagram for the player anywhere. In case you know of any, please post it too.

Thanks a lot!

The other day, when I used it, there was no video display on my TV. I tried both the HDMI then the RCA plugs but there was no video. Any idea how I can make it work? The green and red LEDs light up when I power it up. Could a firmware upgrade help. Would it be possible for you to post or send it me. I tried the site but it is no longer there. Thanks in advance for your help. Hi Balaji,

Also, what OS are you running the program on? Hi Pankaj,

Could you let me know at what step you got the error? Also, what OS are you running the program on?

Most of the XVID I watch is barely TS-quality, so I doubt I'm pushing the decoders on the Q7 very much. But I figure if the ginormous MKV that antrix is trying still stutters on my firmware-upgraded Q7, atleast he'll know that's is definitely an issue with the lack of processing power on the box.

Send me a link to this file? I can try it out on the upgraded firmware and let you know what happens. Antrix – I have played regular XVID at that resolution without any issues.

Notice the resolution, the video bitrate, the audio bitrate and the 6 audio channels! I am guessing a 2-hour video/movie at these specs will easily be 4 GB. IMO decoding so much resolution/bitrate/channels is pretty heavy lifting for your generic video playback device. DVD video has similar file size (the VOBs), but it uses older (and thus lighter) video/audio formats at smaller resolution/bitrate. Antrix: I meant an encoded Blu-Ray video too.

The Google-Kingsoft dictionary sounds like it would have been pretty handy when I struggling with the installer initially. I've added a note in the article pointing to your comment :) Ashwin – thanks for the detailed note!
