I tried just putting some 175 .avi files on my phone, but they didn't show up. Is there like a specific format I'm supposed to use?

The sprint TV was pretty crappy when I tried to use it so I need somewhere else to get it besides youtube and stuff.

I know it plays .mp4 really well, worst case you might have to convert to .mp4 first. I do not believe it supports .avi natively anyway.

From the source: HTC .com's Spec sheet for the Hero at...
http://www.htc.com/www/specification.aspx?p_id=283

Display    3.2-inch TFT-LCD touch-sensitive screen with 320x480 HVGA resolution
Video supported formats    MPEG-4, H.263, H.264 and Windows Media® Video 9

* Up all night trying to figure out if its that I need a better Video player APP or I'm not converting my AVI files into MP4's properly, but I still haven't been able to get and play a Movie I converted and Saved to my MicroSD card on my Hero (Sprint).
I trialed the following APPs...
- Albums (OEM)
- Media Player (Trial)
- Meridian (Free)
- aPlayer (Free)

1st:
I Converted using 'various' settings with HANDBRAKE with only audio at best, although every convertion file I made I could play on QuickTime. That was misleading!

2nd: I tried BOO5TED's suggetion to use Format Factory 2.20, but
- I tried both the 'MP4 320x240 MPEG4'   and the ''Google 'GX 480x320' since they were the same res. as listed in the Hero's screen Specs. I linked/listed above.

Conclusions:
1. 'Format Factory' worked with both formats. Thanks BOO5TED!
2. I was able to play 'Format Factory' converted videos on all video players listed above.
3. - Media Player (Trial) by BlueMediaLab.com took forever to access SD files. 1 Star
4. - The Video fills the screen Horizontally, but not Vertically.
      I may play with settings and see if I can find a truly 'FULL' screen conversion.
Peace, Scanner Scott

Hmm is this ff software really safe? My virus scanner says its a dangerous trojan. I realize on the site it says it realizes some scanners are saying this, though they "promise" its not a virus, lol.
