Medialink and .mp4 files

[dukebound85]

So medialink says it can play .mp4 yet every time i try, it says the data is unsupported

any idea how to get this to work?

I've never had that problem with medialink- the only setback I encountered was the DRM on files downloaded from iTunes.

You're probably using incompatible settings. Just because it's MP4 doesn't mean it'll play.

Did you pick the PS3 preset? That should select all the proper settings.

does media link give registered users free updates? or do they charge for each one?

Medialink updates are free. Just redownload Medialink from www.nullriver.com.

Do you own QuickTime Pro? If so, you might try "badging" the Handbrake files you create by exporting them within Pro to MP4 (select passthrough on video and audio).

"QuickTime badge" is just a phrase. By exporting to MP4 through QuickTime, it creates a standard MPEG-4 wrapper. Other programs don't always create MPEG-4 files that are standards compliant.

The PS3 is very picky with regards to this.

File - > Export - > MP4

Then select the following options (no transcoding or re-encoding will take place), then save:
