A Question about Video/Movies...
 
So, I have a lot of movies in .avi on my PC.

I'm wondering what kind of format videos need to be in for Android/Evo 4G. Someone said mp4, but is that the only format that is supported?

Also, what program can I use to convert them to the right format and size for EVO? My work consists of about 4-5hrs of down-time out of an 8 1/2hr day, so we love the movies here. heh

I am bored as hell, so I decided to start converting some movies out of my collection and while I was laying here doing that you created this thread, so it was like perfect timing on both of us.

You should be able to output to either an HD tv or a monitor. If your monitor doesn't have an HDMI input you could purchase a HDMI to DVI converter, which are quite inexpensive as they are both digital signals.

The only problem with that is DVI doesn't support audio just video.

Out of 20 +/- Tv's and old monitors I have around here, only 1 has HDMI input. I thought the convertors were quite expensive, like $200? But I think you are right, anything from the Gallery should output correctly, even from a standard DVD, right?
