![]() Hi Am considering purchasing a : Creative ZEN Vision:M 30GB MP3 / Video Player - Green And I noticed in the tech spec it says the supported formats for video display are: MPEG-4 SP, XviD, DivX 5.0, DivX 4.0, MPEG-2, MPEG-1, Motion JPEG, WMVM I am brand new to the whole download thing but when I search using Limewire I notice the vast majority of what I want to download and watch is in avi format. Are any of the formats above another name for avi or do you have to download the avi and then convert it somehow? And if you have to convert it , is it : a) Hard to do ? b) Time Consuming c) Remove any quality from audio or video ? What do people generally do when trying to transfer video from Limewire to Ipod or equivalent? - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - House Rules.

![]() The easiest thing for you to do is downloads some videos of Limewire in different formats then burn as data disk and try it out in the store before buying. Converting is timeconsuming and sometimes hard to do depending on format + degrades quality more often than not (also depends on format) Don't forget sometimes expensive if you can't find any free programs to do it with BTW never saw your first post so maybe it is in the land that time forgot |

![]() I think in that case, It's probably easiest for me to simply stick to mpg which it does support. Next questions is this, when I look in the LW browser I see .mpg but that doesnt' tell you if it's mpeg 1, 2 3 or 4 ? Any way to tell? |

![]() You can use the http://www.k-litecodecpack.com/(click on the link) for free, which includes G-Spot Codecs Information. That will tell you what codecs a certain file uses. ![]()

![]() avi = mpeg 4 ?? In that case there's no problem at all, because there's tons of avi's on LW and the Zen supports MPEG-4 SP, XviD, DivX :-) Re mpg3 - LOL, Well I am a downloading noob :-) So it would seem this is all moot, the Zen supports Mpeg4 and if AVI just means mp4 then I'm in luck - excellent. Stoopid creative site should just say supports avi. |
