Video Conversion If your video files will not play on your Trio player, you can convert them using the conversion tool which is included with the device. To do so, you will need to first install the software. When you connect the player to your computer, it will act as a removable disk drive. Open the drive, as described in the Copy and Paste section of the manual. Inside, there is a folder called “Tools & Manual”. Open this folder, and then the “Tools” folder. Inside is a Setup.exe application.
Once the conversion tool is open, the first step in actually converting and loading the file is to select the file you wish to convert. Locate the “Input File” line towards the top of the window, and select the “Add file” button and use the file selection window to select the file you want to convert and load. The second step is to select the location you want the converted file saved to.
select the save location. As this conversion tool is already calibrated to convert your files for optimal quality, you simply need to select the “Begin” button and the player will convert the file for you. Please note that if the player is connected to your computer when you open this tool, you will see an additional window to the right of the main window. This is the media player window.
Once the file has finished converting and loading on to your player, follow the “Safely remove hardware” instructions outlined above, and enjoy your video. If you receive an error when attempting to convert a video file, then you likely lack the proper video codecs on your computer. There are several large codec packs which will contain the majority of the common video codecs, such as the K-Lite Mega codec pack, and the Storm codec pack.
