playing mpeg on my nano

[joeyd130]

rock box works great on my nano and i put an mpeg file on it. i use the mpeg player to view it and it goes black for a second like its gonna play then jus goes back to the page the file is located on. is there any thing i have to change to get it to play?

You pick one, but you do have to convert them to be the right size for the screen.
