Datasheet

It's possible to play full length videos on the TFT plate, but since the screen is small and the Pi cant use hardware

accelleration to play the videos its best to scale them down to 320x240 pixels. This will be easier for the Pi to play and

also save you tons of storage space. For this demo, we'll be using the famous Big Buck Bunny video, which is creative

commons and also very funny!

You can download it from the link above, we'll be using the 720p AVI version.

To do the conversion itself, we suggest HandBrake which works great and is open source so it runs on all operating

systems! Download and install from the link. Then run the installed application and open up the AVI file from before.

The app will pre-fill a bunch of information about it.

Under Destination click Browse... to select a new MP4 file to save. Then under Picture change the Width to 320 (the

height will be auto-calculated)
