I recently got my Cowon A3 PMP fixed which can play FLAC files and Videos files. However most of the videos I have are HD that is either 1080p or 720p which I try to play on my PMP says resolution not supported.
Do we have any software which can convert these to formats which can be played on my PMP?
Free and easier to use.
Should I first copy a video that plays on my PMP and check the codecs or format it supports based on which I can convert my existing HD Videos?

Use Xmedia Recode.

It has presets for most known PMPs.

Format factory is a famous tool. Simple as well. See if it works.

Handbrake is an open source tool that could help you do it too.

Thanks SaiyanGoku, it worked
I put settings as mkv for Cowon and that was not playing then I changed it to Cowon AVI and it worked.
Thanks much.
Only thing is it's taking around 25 minutes to complete.

Your PC's CPU is to be blamed.
