USB from mp4 to RCA for lcd (Need Help)

KraZThug · 08-23-2006, 11:32 AM

A friend just gave me a mp4 and i have a 1.8" lcd module and i'd like to hook up this mp4 to it.

I need a cable i've been all over the place looking for it that has USB Input to RCA Output. I only need the RCA Video, i dont need Audio. Also, i dont know if that mp4 have enough bandwidth to give a nice video output.. anyone have any ideas or recomendations?

Thanks!

Someone gave you an MP4 movie file and you want to connect an LCD to it?
How do you connect a piece of hardware to a data file?

this is what my friend said..

1) mp3 player does audio
2) mp4 player does audio & video
3) some ipods have mp4 capabilities, but not the ones the size of the nano.

if you dont know what you're talking about, how do you expect us to help you?

i guess you mean something like the video ipod, or archos?

something that can play mp3s/avis/mp4s(mp4 is a video file)/whatever else, unless it has video out, i'd be surprised if you can find anything, i know the ipod video has a cable you can get, but if its not ipod, and doesnt have rca outs already, good luck

yeah, its called the ipod video, and its the size of the original ipod

and the ipod video has a cable to output video to a tv or whatever, but i dont think u'll have any luck

but can u at least tell us the manufacturer?

KraZThug · 08-23-2006, 01:14 PM

dont know who makes it yet, i dont have it just yet. But i will let you know. My friend sells them, im going to tell him if he wants and register and see if anyone wants to buy them. I am sure he'll sell it for a great price.

lol, u ask the question before you know anything about it? hah

let us know the manufacturer when u get it, then maybe we can help

Well that mp4 or w/e it is wont work for my project here. Now i guess i am just looking for anything small HD or anything that i am able to store movies and output it to my lcd via RCA.. if anyone knows of anything please let me know..

I know i can use like dvd players and ps2's and all that crap but im looking for something simple/smart/not too expensive/ that can store movies instead of swaping DVDs and ****.. and ofcourse that have an RCA Video out port.

well, u still have a lot of options, u can get an ipod video, they have rca outputs, you have to buy a special cable for it, but whatever

im sure a lot of other units have rca output, but you'd really have to look
