I think this may have been flirted around before, but what is the definitive output to look for if, say downloading videos onto a sd card to play in the Columbus? I know HD is a nono, but is there a simple format to look for? Sorry if this has been already covered

There is a list in the Columbus manual. In simple terms you need to use MP4 video with a maximum resolution of 720x576 pixels. This is the non-HD standard we used to have before HD came along.

I have found that the system is very sensitive to format and pixel count. It shouldn't be when the right format is used but my saved files on a video server frequently won't work when when correctly setup. Still working out why.

EDIT: List/Guidance is on pages 31-34 in the PDF Columbus manual.

720x576 is standard DVD resolution so if you have backups of your legally purchased DVDs then they should work fine, in MP4 format of course...

Good evening folks!

Sorry, only Columbus supports video files.

Thank you Sir! [emoji21] [emoji20]

Is there any tweaks to bypass this?[emoji22]

Not that I know about. I believe only the Columbus has the physical hardware, as opposed to just software, to handle the various video codecs.

You might want to browse/search the Octavia III forum, who have had the new infotainment systems longer, http://www.briskoda.net/forums/forum/235-skoda-octavia-iii-2013-onward/

or the ICE forum http://www.briskoda.net/forums/forum/7-in-car-entertainment-ice-and-security/

Thanks for your help, a bit of trial and error needed
