Digital Frames / Video Playback? |

| Are the digital Frames supposed to implemetnt video playback capabilities?
I just ordered the Toshiba Journe AIR 1000 in hopes that it does. IT says it can handle avi and mov but i think only from motion jpeg fromat (jpeg4). Is this the only way or can it handle compressed format (mpeg4) in particularly is mostly what i care about. Otherwise i will have to cancel this order. Converting every file to jpeg4 for such use will be a hassle. |

"JPEG 4" sounds a bit strange...maybe they mean mpeg 4 like divx/xvid but I don't know. |

| I really hope that they meant that but there's no much possibility for that.
It's the first i'm hearing of jpeg4 but i guess it should be a video format resulting from a combination of images. After all a digital frame is supposed to display pictures mainly. I dont even know what hardware these devices use, and if they're strong enough to decode compressed video. I only need it for playback of standard definition of xvid/divx files. |

| With jpeg4 probably they mean some kind of proprietary motion jpg (M-JPG) but i read the manual of AIR 801 slightly lower model and it supports mpeg1/2/4 so why shouldn't the 1000 i hope? Although on the AIR 1000 manual there's no mention of what it supports for some strange reason.
This is a portion i cropped from the pdf with the supported formats.  |
