Can Anyone Help ID this player?

[dejunai]

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? 8GB 3.0" Touch Screen 2M Camera MP4 MP2 FM VIDEO 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.

In spite of the spec saying "AMV" format, this looks more like a Rockchip player.

If you go into the settings option and display the software version and post it here to confirm.

Did the player have any movie clips preloaded, if it did and they were avi format then its a Rockchip player for sure.

The Player has yet to be delivered. I am certain I will know more once it is delivered. My reason for posting here was to try and get a ~jump~start~ based on the available info from the merchant. I was hoping some of the gurus around here could help ID it, and I could prepare by reading up on the appropriate firmware/device.

LOL,
I will be REAL REAL HAPPY if it plays normal AVI's.

oh dear

well first off, ban your wife from the computer and sespend her ebay account

basically do not believe much of what is written on the specs for this player, AMV??

AMV is not for this type of player at all, AMV do not go up to this size screen players

problem here is a common one, seller knows nothing about mp players and has copied and pasted info from god only knows where

to me it looks like a ANYKA chip player, but untill you get it you wont fully know as there are no screenshots of the actual interface!!!!

so really its a waiting game, when you get the player post pics and details and we may be ablt to work out what it actually is

it may be a rockchip, but from the rubbish that is written on the site you cant tell anything

where did you order the 787 from then

[dejunai]

LOL,

Yes, well I can't ban the wife from the computer or eBay, or she'd ban me from the bedroom. She knows she goofed, and feels bad about it already. And I suspect that indeed the player described and the player shown, wont be the actual player she gets. And I suspect that I will indeed just hafta to wait it out. I will post pix and any data I can get from the device when it arrives.

The Onda VX787 I bought via MP4Global.

hey i think i know what that is check out tinydeal.com and click on the 3 inch part i would give you the direct link but im on dial up at work at its too much lag but try it out you might find it

[makd511]

no its not the ones on tinydeal

but problem here is that the same looking body can contaib totally different hardware, if you take this device

http://www.tinydeal.com/images/ta504g_a.jpg

this one is based on a rockchip, but this copies a design from Onda called the VX747 which is TOTALLY different hardware, the vx747 is based on ingenics hardware

so never trust the external look of the case, and also never trust ebay

hope you get the 787 ok, persoanlly as the prices are always fluxuatng i would have held out un til official release for final prices

@All...

Thank you all for the prompt and helpful responses. You have confirmed my suspicion that I'll just "hafta wait and see".

Like I said in the initial post, I have been lazily searching the net for the actual player specs, and all I have determined, is that no player that looks like that has those specs, LOL. I figured before I gave up entirely and "waited it out", I'd ask the top notch community here.

Be assured, now that I [strike:85c46e551d]am[/strike:85c46e551d] soon to be a [strike:85c46e551d]card[/strike:85c46e551d] device carrying member of the MPx Community, I will report back on the funky NoName player. ( Who Knows... It could be a great player, LOL ).

I'll keep you all updated on what I learn about the NoName Player, and for that matter, the Onda VX787 I purchased for my wife. I am looking forward to having both players, even if the NoName is practically a DUD. I am geeky enuf to enjoy ripping it apart with a soldering iron and playing with the chips, if it's a brick on delivery. Don't know that I'll get 70USD worth of fun out of it, but I am resigned to "wait and see", LOL.

Again, Much thanks to all.

just a note on these tvout player with tuch screens

The only thing visible through tvout is the movie player, and when in tv out mode you have no access to the screen or any controls as the screen goes blank, in order to even navigate back and forth through the movie you need to leave tvout, go back to the player and do your stuff then send it back to the tv out

to me this s a major floor with these designs, just thought i would mention this because it makes life difficult if you want instant control over the movie for even pausing it

the better option is either the v3000 from ainol as this has a remote control to control the movie or aa player with physical buttons

just thought i would let you know

besides i saw a vid review of the 787 and it really is an appaulingly designed player
