How to Play an AVI on an Apex 1000

The Apex AD-1000 DVD player is a low-cost DVD player that supports homemade file formats such as VCD, SVCD and AVI. You will need to burn your AVI file to a CD-R or DVD-R large enough to hold the entire content of the movie file before you can play it on the DVD player. This can be done from within Windows and then immediately transferred to the player for viewing.

Things You'll Need

• CD or DVD burner.

Instructions

1. Insert an empty, writable disc into your disc writer's optical bay.

2. Click "Burn files to disc using Windows Explorer" when the AutoPlay window appears.

3. Click "With a CD/DVD player" in the Burn a Disc menu.

4. Navigate to the folder on your hard drive that has your .AVI file using Windows Explorer.

5. Drag the .AVI file from its folder and into the "Burn a Disc" window.

6. Click "Burn to disc" and then click "Next."

7. Wait for the image burn to complete, then click "Finish."

8. Open the Apex AD-1000 DVD tray and insert your disc.

9. Close the drive bay, then wait for the image to be read.

10. Press "Play" on the file browser screen. Your AVI file will be automatically played.

Tips & Warnings

• The AD-1000 does not support high-compression codecs such as DivX. You will need to convert DivX AVI files to a larger format, such as SVCD or MPEGISO using third party utilities.
