Hello All,
So I have spent some time with the NoName player. It is indeed a fully functional TouchScreen. It has 5pin USB, MicroSD slot, Headphone Slot, Reset Slider, Power Button, Action Button, Single Speaker, and Camera Lense on the body itself, Along with a ( not quite ) 3.0" LCD.

The Video Plays fine, but it wont play files until they are reduced to QVGA. I wrote two drag and drop batch files for this:
FULLSCREEN to FS PLAYER
Code:
"%~dp0\ffmpeg.exe" -i %1 -s qvga -b 350k -r 20 -ac 1 "%~dp0\xf_%~n1.avi"
WIDESCREEN to FS PLAYER
Code:
"%~dp0\ffmpeg.exe" -cropleft 50 -cropright 50 -i %1 -s qvga -b 350k -r 20 -ac 1 "%~dp0\pb_%~n1.avi"
FFMPEG converts 40+minute episodes to proper size and format in under 10 Minutes on a 1.7G Laptop. Not nearly as long as the included software that isn't in English.
Essentially, I have FFMPEG convert the AVI to size: QVGA, bitrate: 350K, framerate:20, AudioChannels: 1 (Mono). It has no need to re-encode from the codec up, and thus is fairly quick about it.
The OS appears to be Anyka's iPod ripoff:

However, the device did not come with a PC CAM driver, and none of the drivers I can find for the Anyka PC CAM seem to work for it.
Furthermore, LOL, the NES Games section is a waste of time, because the games dont respond to the touch screen. It came with two other games, a Tetris clone, which is iffy at best with the touch screen and a "Silent Hunter" Clone which locks the player up completely.
The Music player is ~functional~ but playlist support is lousy. You can save and load playlists, but they are saved to an ALT format, which is binary, and not text. I am writing a perl script to allow me to convert standard M3U files, which some success and some issues. LOL, I'll figure it out eventually.

The Digital Camera is fine, The DV is fine. The Camera does not have a flash, which makes it essentially useless indoors, and in low light. The Photo Player is sharp and clean, The MicroSD slot reads and writes fine. The onboard 8GB seems to be an actual 8GB, and not a hack. I was able to copy 7.5 GB of data to the drive, and copy it all back off and none of it was corrupted. It has acceptable transfer rates. Right Now is has 24 Video Files on it totally 3+ GB.

Overall, It's a weak example of a clone MP4 player. I would not recommend it to anybody who can't write their own firmware for it, LOL... Speaking of I can't seem to initiate BIOS as described on other Anyka players, again lack of actual buttons. So I can't upgrade the firmware if I wanted to. I'll post a more detailed review of the player (pro/cons) once I have had a chance to use it for a while. As long as it lasts 6 months or more, I'll be happy with it. LOL
And one more thing: the manual that came with it was in English... The problem tho, is that it was for a different player, :?
