Does the Philips BDP5010 Play H.264 files?
Ok so I see in their doc here that it supports the compression format but when I try to play an MP4 h.264 file, the player says this is an unsupported format. However I have also contacted Phillips who also claims this format is supported. i also see this on dvd-guides.com
What extension does H264 use? Is it an .avi file or does it have its own extension like .divx?
You may come across all kind of file extensions and still the codec can be H264:
- .avi - Yes, people use .avi for H264 videos too!
- .mp4 - Nero Recode and Quicktime use this format. Better than AVI as you can store AAC audio as well.
- .mkv - Matroska container - can support many video and audio formats. Have a look here for more info.
- .h264 - This extension is not commonly used. Maybe in the future.
