Help needed

I have a seagate home network drive with built in media server using dnla

I access this with my 2 sony blueray players and my ps3 and more recently my new tablet s

the problem I have is ive converted most of my 1200gb of films into avi to suit my ps3 & BR players

and now I read that my new tablet does not support avi files

any recommendations on what to do for the best

I am currently using the bubbleupnp as a work around but its not great

ideally I wanted to use the seagateshare software but this only uses the default video player which on my tablet does not support avi

thanks

I know

you would think buying all sony gadgets, would mean they would all work together using the same video and audio support but No

sound like one devision of sony isnt talking to the other come on sony get a move on and sort out a set of standards for all your gear

thats why apple are doing so well

Now i have a sony tablet which plays mp4 so even if i covert my files to mp4 to play on tab i cant trow them at the tv becus the tv dose not suport mp4. this means i have to have all video an mp4 and what ever my tv will play but having problems finding that one out.

for 2011 models of Bravia, BluRay and PS3 they have moved to mp4 - part of problem is pre-2011 models,
which do not get the type of firmware updates that add originally not supported formats.

I've used Handbrake to convert DVDs to MP4 and have used it recently to get videos on to my tablet. Works fine

I have checked the Sony update page and although there were firmware updates for both my tv's (which i have successfully done they still do not play the video although they will through the PS3.

What are you using to convert to MP4?
