How-To on getting VIDEO to work on Mylink

There has been a lot of confusion and speculation about things with the mylink its hard to find information on what exactly needs to be done... some people claim to have gotten this to work, but fail to show how to do it, or video of it actually working. This is going to show both.

Getting files in the right format for playback on MyLink

From Computer (NOTE: I did this on windows 10 others OS may differ slightly)

2. Download DivX Converter
3. Install DivX Converter
4. Open DivX Converter
5. Skip intro about buying video pack (don't need it)
6. Drag and Drop Videos onto the main screen
7. At the top were it says Select output profile Select DivX Home Theater
8. Bottom Right, Click [...] next to Output Folder and Select your USB Flash Drive
9. Click Start
10. Once finished you are good to test the files on your MyLink

• NOTE: This will NOT allow video in motion, over 5 mph video will cut out.

I tested 19 random music videos downloaded from the internet, all worked with the above setup.
