Convert movie to 520x380 res?

[Boydie]

I found out yesterday that I can play videos from my iPod/jukebox in the car when stationary. However, they have to be a specific resolution and I believe it's 520 x 380.

How do you convert a video file to that resolution?

And, what type of file is required to view the videos on an Audi MMI System (2009 S4)

MKV files should work on the display.

Any free video converter tool should allow you to do this. @Cartunes is the man for this question.

I just posed the question to my colleague in Infotainment at Ingolstadt -
I'm not sure on the resolution bit, but the screen will play most formats except .wav
The resolution should be tweakable in the settings of the ripping software - It's been years since I did any multimedia manipulation.

Handy free program called format factory I used to use for things like this.

Thanks. I'll give it a go. Ordered a USB cable online so hopefully here at the beginning of the week.

Is this for watching porn on those long drives in the Audi? Most people bring a picnic mate.

It's for those times, where most men have been, when collecting their wife/partner/gf at a certain time and they are 30 mins late FFS

Well in my search I found that my car plays your average DVD!!



Just popped in the first DVD I had and hey presto it plays in HD, so would I have to resize movies which are on USB??

Upload quality is crap lol

Handbrake is the tool for the job - https://handbrake.fr/

Freemake might do it?

 

[Boydie]

Anyone know how to hack the mmi to allow DVDs to play?

I have a USB lead you could've had for free.

@Lyons sell it, it's 1 part of a pair worth £60 from Audi with the other part being a iPhone 5 connector
