Did it come in a MP4 Player Box or a plain box?

Can you please take some photos of it as I might buy some.

Cheers

Sure, I'll take some photos when I have my digital camera again (someone's using it atm but I will be getting it back tonight). I don't know how much luck you'll have ordering it, well from Tinydeal anyway, as I said it appears to be no longer listed on its catalogue.

I read through the manual and it makes little sense at all, definitely not written specifically for my player! One wonders why they bother to supply a manual at all if it is so irrelevant, why not scrap it and knock 5 cents off the price? And the CD looks equally unhelpful...

But the player itself looks great, it's just about had it's 4 hours charging so I'll be investigating it properly soon :-) I wonder how I will get on with video but will comb the forums here if I get stuck.

UPDATE: I searched for Sunplus on this forum and found http://www.mympxplayer.org/24-player...mv-vt7433.html.

I just don't know how to convert the video! The demo video is .3gp, looking at the file properties in Windows Explorer - can someone help me? My MSN id is guthund@hotmail.com, maybe someone would like to talk me through it?

The graphics are really cool on my player, there is a great 3D graphic of a USB plug when you plug it in to the PC, lol!

All manuals that come with OEM MP3 & MP4 Players are generic and to be precise are pretty crap.

On the CD there should be video conversion software.

There is conversion software, but it is all for AMV files. So should I download AVI Converter 4.0?

One limitation of the player seems to be that it can only play files from the root AUDIO directory - when I create new folders with music (only 1 level deep) they are not recognised. A bit of a pain but I had suspected this might be the case.

The other thing is that the player seems to become inaccessible from Windows Explorer some times after being plugged in, i.e. when one clicks on the H drive it says it's inaccessible. But again I had had experiences like this a couple of years back with a Chinese MP3 player (non-video model).

I placed a 'test' order with them the day you started this thread. I haven't received anything yet. I'd recommend hanging on til I do. In fact, it's still listed as 'Pending' in my order history on their site. Also, I'll be placing another wholesale order within a week or so. Check the price/model list I uploaded. If there's something there that fits your needs, I'll take care of you.

Well, my stuff arrived today! 1 day after I made my comment. Took a full 2 week but it got here. One thing is that it's in plain brown boxes, not retail packaging, but i can deal with that. Must be part of how they keep costs down. ;-) So I can now say that TinyDeal is legit. I'll certainly be buying some more stuff from them. Just not stuff I need anytime soon. ;-)

Thanks for the update. What did you end up getting and what's your comments on the quality of the product? Everything working ok and such?

I got 3 of the little 'i-nickel'-type players. Red, black, and silver. I've dealt with these before and everything looks good fuction/appearance-wise.

-Only thing I notice is that the price has gone up a couple bucks since I got them. 23.99-25.99. SO I guess i got a deal! ;-0
