G-Series Gaming Keyboards

I don't know about the rest of you guys, but I actually buy most of my videos/movies from iTunes and they are in the .m4v format when you download them. Is there anyway to get the G19 to see and reconize these files in the movie player?

most people dont pay....

It's an encrypted file format using a proprietary (I believe) encryption scheme.  Ask Apple for DirectShow drivers.  Good luck.

and that is why i would never pay for movie files especially from apple.  they will only work on some devices and you have issues if you format your pc and try to play them on the new one.....  even if you paid for the use of them...

Dwarg - Even better solution: We have a free SDK available for Mac and PC. If someone at Apple was enterprising enough, G19 support could potentially be put directly into iTunes without having to bypass their DRM. That would be spiffy, no?

[Dwarg]

That works, too, though I suspect an enterprising soul might be able to grab 320 by 240 images directly from you and thus bypass their DRM...  I know it was trivial to monitor your HID calls to set the backlight color, at least.  Not that a DirectShow filter wouldn't have that issue, too, though with the filter you could just reencode it directly and get higher quality video, of course.

So.. let me get this straight.

You sell a keyboard that says it plays "movies" and even, in the browser window states you should select your "movie" directory.

When, in fact, it doesn't play any movies at all.  Because the only truly LEGAL digital format (for a "movie") is .m4v...

Might want to think about changing your advertisements before you get slapped with a lawsuit since you only support downloaded video clips and illegal videos.

Sending this POS back to Amazon.. took me an hour just to get past the issues with installation everyone seems to be having only to find out .. oops, false advertising.
