if it doesnt that drive should be reformatted.


now about the video thing try checking the firmware version and brand of you mp4 and search it in this site, most frimware installer i found on this site came in bundled with converters from video to audio. if your having trouble finding your firmware version try looking "setup" or "settings"just play around there exept for any option saying "language setting" look for anything saying "version" or "ver" thats your firmware version.

hope this helps...
