Have you checked the specs of your video files?
Video:
mpg, mpeg - MPEG 1/2
avi - ISO-MPEG 4, DivX 3,4,5, Xvid
mp4, m4v, mov - ISO MPEG 4 H.264 (MPEG4 AVC)
wmv, asf - Windows Media Video 9
Spec - up to max 2000 kbit/s, 720x576 pixels at max 25fps
If your videos are a higher res than 720x576, they won't play.

The only movies I can get to work are direct DVD rip with Handbrake. I have a massive iTunes movie library I can't play because of the DRM. I tried to strip it and put them on a memory card but nothing works. It's so lame that I can't play movies I paid for in my car. If anyone has a solution please let me know. The software I am using doesn't work.

Makes some sense - the screen captures produced by the MMI are 800x480, so I suspect that's the LCD's native resolution. I rip most things at 480p (720x480) and so it doesn't seem like going to more lines is going to improve things.

With my iPhone4S connected via "Red grommet" aka "R" MMI cable, I get Music and Videos folders and can of course play videos.
With my iPodTouch 5th Gen connected via "Lightning Video" aka "AD" MMI cable I get only Music folder and can of course NOT play videos since I can't "see" them.

Richard, aren't you the one that wanted drivers not vehicle operators but you want to watch videos too. I'm confused!

b) When you see what I'm working on, I think you will like it
Well to be more clear, I need video out from an iDevice with BT LE, and from what I find, I need MMI to play videos from that device before I can get to the next step.
I'm probably 95% there but am stuck using my only iPhone4S until/unless I can get the iPodTouch 5th gen working
I mean, it's not like I want the World Cup on or anything

Curious if the latest gen MMI (4G+) supports lossless audio formats or (better yet) a direct digital interface between an iPod/iPhone and the amp?
Always driven me bonkers that you can plunk down $6k for B&O in an S7 and it's not direct digital from the source to at least the amp.
