[Acer Iconia A500] AndyInNYC:
Trouble with Handbrake

I'm trying to convert several videos to the A500.

I"ve used both the 720 baseline and high profiles - I end up with a video out of handbrake that neither my PC nor my A500 can play.

The original file is defined by MediaInfo as:

MediaInfo defines the resulting file only as:

Format : MPEG-4

Format profile : Base Media / Version 2

Codec ID : mp42

Any idea what I'm doing wrong? I get the same results with either baseline or high presets.

Thanks.
