Default Re: Review of my MP4

Where did you get it from? And if it doesnt use amv, adn avi has to be converted, what format does it use?

yesterday and after figuring out the fact that it is a Rockchip (and therefore requires avi converter - thanks heaps to this site ) I've converted and dumped heaps of videos and MP3s onto it.

It has the correct memory as stated: 2GB onboard + 1GB SD card.

It doesn't recognise AMV, WMV, MOV, MPG, MPEG, MP4.

The screen is on a slight angle, but the clarity is very good. I can read subtitles on AVI's. The viewing ange is a bit weird, kinda need to have it on an angle to get good contrast.

It has a 3.5mm stereo jack so I can use my Sennheiser headphones with it, but the charger has a power adapter with vertical power pins so it will need an adapter for Australian mains.

MP3 playback is exceptional when the bit rate is at 128kbps and above. Below this and you get a clicking sound, but most of my MP3s are 128kbps and above.

FM radio doesn't have a setting for Australia, but here in an office full of networking gear it seems ok.

There is a slide switch at the base which I was hoping was a "hold" switch, but it seems to turn the unit off, but only sometimes :?:

Overall I'm happy with it and will be kinda reluctant to hand it over as a Christmas pressie on Monday, but I may buy one soonish!


mods: sorry if this is in the wrong position, but I couldn't find a review section other than the "post a pic of your player"
