RJTech PVR1100 MPEG4 Mini Video Recorder Review

Uploading Files to the PVR1100

One of the main features of the RJTech PRV1100 is its ability to play nearly any file which you may have on your PC. Do you have some vacation shots you want to show to the family? Or maybe you have a video on your PC you want to share with some friends. Well, you can load them onto a memory card, plug it into this pint-sized unit and view them on your TV.

While this process is as simple and straightforward as dragging and dropping files into a blank drive, RJTech also offers us the option of adding a bit of finesse to the equation. To do this, you will have to insert a bank drive into the PVR1100 and it then writes a few basic folders onto the drive in order to make finding your files easier. Personally, I prefer this method since the PVR1100 doesn’t show enough information about individual files to distinguish one from another so it is best if they are partitioned somewhat.


The PVR1100 writes three primary files to your memory card the first time you boot up the device: MP_Root, Music and finally Photo. The latter two are pretty much self evident since these are the folders where RJtech wants you put your music and pictures respectively so the recorder will open them up the second you select the appropriate menu section. The third folder’s name is a bit more cryptic but this is where you will put all of your video files.


In this MP_Root folder there are five additional folders of which four you will probably use since the top folder is used to store the PSP video files only. The other folders are actually brilliantly set out based on resolutions of individual devices. Basically, if you record at 640x480 resolution the file will go into the TV folder, if something is recorded at 320x240 it will be saved in the Mobile folder and so on.

The same goes for you uploading video files into these folders and I suggest that if you want to watch something on your TV, you save it into the TV folder so it is easier to find. You can add additional folders as needed and the PVR1100 will pick them up without any problem.
