Have the beeb's files changed?

[Lorenzo Martinelli *]

My Sony television can only play up to a specific set of 
resolution/framerate values of AVI files.

I'm now using an Android video gizmo to stream from the NAS, but FWIW, I 
was downconverting a lot of stuff using Freemake Video Converter, and a 
custom setting I called "Sony TV" has the following values: Frame Size 
640x360, Video Codec XVID at 25 fps, Audio AC3 at 48000 Hz sample rate 
and 224 kbps bitrate.

It might be that those are the values I found viable.

PS If your model is like mine, the playback values are nowhere to be 
found neither in the manual, nor on web site. Experimenting might be 
required to find the max values acceptable by your TV.
