Forum: Video related Topic: [solved] help needed to play video files.

------------------------------------------------psmith0103: I have converted the video files using the amv converter that came with the play er. Once i have pasted them or dropped and dragged them into the drive and turn the player on, it says there are no files to view. I am able to put photos and m p3s on but have spent hours trying to do this with no luck at all. I have looked at the settings on the player and it says version 00.00.0001. Please help if yo u can, this is for my niece for xmas tadad1: psmith0103, Looking at your firmware version number I would guess your player is using a Sigmatel chipset but that is an odd version number. If it is a Sigmatel player then you need to use an SMV video format converter. Y ou can download one here: http://www.mympxplayer.org/smv-convert-tool-22-df116.html tintin19: i have the same problem i got this new mp4 player from ebay i transfered all the music and pictures i like without problems but when i'm trying to put videos it won't let me i used the AMV converter that came with my mp4 i converted the videos i want to put but it's not even there i don't know wut kind of version is the converter i have this is the mp4 i have tadad1: tintin19, It is a nice looking player, but there are heaps of bizarre feature. L ooks like a Chinese to English online translation. Did it come with a sample video? If so what format is the sample? Havea look in the players settings menu and see if you can find the firmware ver sion. tintin19: yes it came with a sample video but i deleted it T____T i don't know why i deleted it grrrr i don't know what's the format now i'm soo pissed right now tadad1: tintin19, Did you find the firmware version? We can work out what it is there are only so many formats. tintin19: the version is 00.01.0004 tintin19: is there a way that i can put videos? i hope there is a way thanx for your help tadad1: tintin19, Well it is not an AMV player, it could be a Sigmatel in which case it will play SMV files, you can try this converter.

Am at my wits end with this. psmith0103: I am using the avi output on the smartsoft video converter. Is that right? tadad1: psmith0103,I have never had a Sigmatel player so I have never used the SMV conve rter but a format error on an amv conversion can usually be fixed by lowering th e frame rate. What are you using smartsoft video converter for? psmith0103: many thanks i sorted it using the smv converter. tintin19: it still doesn't workT_T tintin19: i found something on my mp4 player PMP Transcoding Tool Release Note 1.Version a)ANSI 0.5.0 version b)UNICODE 0.5.0 version 2.New Features a)New setup file with DirectX9 & Windows Media Player 9 redistribute version DirectX9: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=9226A611-62FE-4F61-ABA1 -914185249413&displaylang=en Windows Media Player 9 http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/cn/9series/player.asp b)Adds audio files TO mp3 files conversion c)Automatically set output format according to input media file 3.Bug Fixed a)Can not find Windows Media libraries on Win98 b)In Traditional Chinese Win XP, can not support conversion in Simplified Chines e folder c)DVD conversion is unstable in Win 2000 d)Can not support audio to mp3 conversion e)Cannot support multiple selections in CD mode with shift and ctrl key. 4.Compatible issues a)On Win 98/Me, please install ANSI version.

Then just copy the resulting .avi file to your player. tintin19: ok thanx alot ^_________^ tadad1:

tintin19, If you open Vdownloader then add the web url of the video you want to download. Then select Options>Preferences from the VDownloader menu bar and s et format, size and bitrate. Then when you press the download button the save dialogue will open and you can select where you want to save the .avi and the name. Once you have downloaded the file run AVConverter 1 select the file you want to convert in this case the .avi you just downloaded with vDownload. 2 The location where you want the converted file to be saved. 3 The name you want to give to the finished .avi Press Save, Close and Convert now and then copy to your player. tintin19: got it thanx^_______^
