I have been watching the MP4 Player community for some time now. I have wanted to buy a player since I travel so much. But I already lug my laptop around with me, and a 2GB MP3 player is built into my cell phone. So I have resisted.
The other day, the wife asked me about getting a video iPod. She is a school teacher and wants to carry digital videos from our home media center to the school, which uses Macs exclusively. Last year I bought her a 4GB USB thumb drive, for the same purpose. So I was curious why she needed the Video iPod. After some discussion, It was clear she wants to watch videos outside the classroom, etc. So I suggested she look online at the Onda VX767 player. It does TV-Out and she can just plug it directly into the classroom's LCD projector, and skip the USB drive to Desktop Mac to LCD projector. She was very excited about the TV-Out, and the nice size screen.
A day or two later she tells me she has bought an MP4 player online from eBay, and some HK merchant. My heart sank, LOL. She showed me the eBay sale. Clearly the player is not Onda. And from the listed Specs appears to be a Rockchip Firmware, withOUT TV-Out... I've spent a week lazily trying to figure out what player it is ( or clone of ), and what horror to expect when it arrives. I have looked at the Merchant's feedback, and so far no bad feedback from people who ordered the player. In fact all of the people who ordered the 3.0 8GB like she did, gave the Merchant 5 stars as far as I can tell.
Can Anyone Help ID this player?

I am suspect of the AMV format, but I am sure I'll live. The text on the page says it supports MiniSD, but the Title over the photo says MicroSD. And the Photo showing the USB connector slot, appears to next to a MicroSD not a MiniSD. I have searched the web looking for similar phrases to the Merchant's description, and it would appear to be a Rockchip Firmware, can anyone confirm, or even specify which firmware. I want to get prepared, with backup firmware and procedures if the player fails.
Ultimately my wife is mad at herself, for buying it on impulse, LOL. And buying a unit that doesn't have the one feature she wants most, TV-Out. Let alone, she has no idea how to convert to AMV video format, so I'll be doing it, every time she wants something new on the player.
She doesn't know it yet, but I have pre-ordered her a
Onda VX787. Which will suit her just fine, and means I'll be getting the NoName player when the VX787 arrives later next month.
Any help is appreciated.
