After i trown away my lynksys Router (for that bad upnp port fowarding ussies that was preventing the 510 to be seen by Vista) and bought a 2310 as my new router, i started to enjoy my 73 gigs for music, videos and pictures.

I'm puzzled cause, the only thing helping me to see files is Wmp11 (file sharing).. did not even started the Media Server 1.10 i had instaled and A AVI file cannot be readL format not supported it says..
The file proprety is saying about MPG 3 AND i think i was told it needed to be a mpg4 files..
Was also instructed to use Nero Recode to recode the film so i can watch it but can't seem to get my way around that Nero Recode.. How does it work?  Is there any filter (as i was also explained before i baught the product)??

Thanks!

As a quick pointer, if you get "unsupported format" for avi files, you might have to look into the FourCC codes. Sometimes, people code the video files (avi container with MPEG4 Part 2 ASP video and MP3 sound) with codec codes and description that are "funny" to the DSM-510, e.g. DX50. Google FourCC and find an editor. You might have to change the code and description in your video files to "XVID" to make it work on the DSM-510. To me, recoding is a ball of wax, and with the lossy nature of digital compression, can only lead to quality loss. Good luck.
