Full screen USB video DIY.

Bklynjoker · 08-03-2017, 01:42 PM

So after trying different ratios. 1280x474 seems to fit the best. So if you guys want to get this done download:
1-HandBrake - it's free
2- under video tab chance storage size to
1280 x474
3- hit Browse, change name alittle so it's not a Duplicate
4- hit START on top of program.
5- then add video to USB

nice!! how big are the files?? this is the size and aspect ratios i use.. I just have a 256gb stick with a lot of movies for the kids.... I got it from a member on the forum..

using Xilisoft video converter

Under Video Stream > Change the following:
Video Size > Type in 1920x720 (not available in dropdown)
Zoom > Change 'Letter Box' to 'Full' in the dropdown
Aspect Ratio > Type in 24:9 (not available in dropdown)

I wasnt able to type in that ratio for some reason, I really tried. The files are from YouTube - copy URL - website KEEPVID- enter URL & download vid to computer.

What I noticed is only newer HD vids come in full screen, older ones have boarders. Lol this Editing is Efffff'in annoying.

Once you plug the USB in and it has Videos it will automatically play. Of course got to connect to the USB in idrive. We are able to play movies n videos

Yea I figured from the image above... I just tried my key on my wife's mac... doesn't work... sorry... I have the ultimate version

I too had DVDinMotion coded...but have not been able to get video to play off my USB, just DVD.

Is there anything else I need to do to get the videos to play from the USB?

I'm not sure on what OEM equipment is needed. I just got my f10 a month ago.. I coded then just popped a DVD in the drive to see what happens... have you tried putting a DVD in to see if that plays in park?

That's not the problem.
It plays DVD videos while I'm driving with no issues, actual DVDs.

What I thought you said you were able to do was play videos thru a USB device. That's what I'm not able to figure out.

Yeah, from what I know most f10's have that option. Load a movie or video on a USB n pop it in the arm rest

To my knowledge video from USB only works for NBT not CIC system
