One AVI file just wont play :(

[Anonymous]

Hi all

im enjoying WiiMC for quite some time without major problems there is just one file that wont play at all. After loading a few seconds WiiMC crashes and throw me back to home menu. I tried it a couple of times. The only unusual thing about the file is its size and duration i wonder if there is a limit?
I hope someone can help or at least enlighten me why the file wont play.

Heres the Info

720×400 may be just borderline over what the WII can handle.

I would try re-encoding with a lower resolution, but same bitrate and see if that helps

Then try lower resolution (480p max) and lower bitrate and see what happens

Hope you get it sorted
