Known Limitations and Considerations

Multimedia The MPEG-4 file format, as defined by the MPEG-4 specification, contains MPEG-4 encoded video
and Advanced Audio Coding (AAC)-encoded audio content. It typically uses the .mp4 extension.
Windows Media Player does not support playback of the .mp4 file format. You can play back
.mp4 media files in Windows Media Player when you install DirectShow-compatible MPEG-4
decoder packs. DirectShow-compatible MPEG-4 decoder packs include the Ligos LSX-MPEG Player
and the EnvivioTV. Please refer to http://support.microsoft.com/kb/316992#34 for additional
information.
High-Definition (HD) video is not supported on t5545, t5725, t5735.

No sound from USB headset on multimedia applications. Use USB headset for voice applications
only.

Playing videos from USB devices is not supported.
