1.5" Player like Nano Ipod from Hong Kong 4GB

Fiddy_Pence · #1 (**permalink**) 24th Jul 2006, 4:18 pm

Hi i have bought from ebay the 4GB black Ipod nano copy (MP4) from Hong Kong. I have converted a .AVI file thru the AMV Converter that's on the disc that come with player. BUT ! the film is now upside down and backside first. What can i do to correct this ?? Also when i play the film it's not full screen as there's a grey border with "AMV Player" around the screen. Again can i get rid of this ??? I'd appreciate any help u guys can give.
Many Thanx

What size screen does your player have?
What version of MP3 Player Utilities are you using?

Hi thanx for the reply. My MP3 utilities version is 3.68a as this was the one with a pic of my player(black nano copy with 1.5" screen)

And when i select the Firmware version on the player it reads

MP3 Player
SC85051C
2006/03/12
ACT_V3.5.35

Fiddy_Pence,
Download version 4.03 from the Download section. Edit the AmvTransform.ini in the AMV Converter folder so that CHIPTYPE=0 and BMPADJUST= to one of the following

BMPADJUST=0 - Normal
BMPADJUST=1 - Flip vertical
BMPADJUST=2 - Flip horizontal (mirror)
BMPADJUST=3 - Rotate 180 degrees
BMPADJUST=4 - Rotate 90 degrees clockwise
BMPADJUST=5 - Rotate 90 degrees counterclockwise

Open AMV Converter select the video you want to convert and load it into the converter. Double click on the file name or highlight it and press the settings button and open the settings window. Set the size you want and convert.

I did exactly what u said but it says format error when i try to play it.

I changed the size to 128x128 is this correct or too big?

Do i need to change the firmware on my MP4 player to the new 4.03 or is it just for the software utilities upgrade on my PC ?

Thanx
Fiddy

Fiddy_Pence,
128x128 is ok for 1.5 LCD. you may need to drop the frame rate. Use these settings in the converter

128x128
Medium
High
Mode0

and see if it helps

I tried that and it still doesnt work mate.

I have read a few posts and i believe i have a 2GB mp4 (converted thru FAT32) and not a 4GB as it is stated on it.

I have tried to fill up the player and play all files but they are not there.
They are there when i connect MP4 to PC but in the folders are NO MUSIC files at all.
There's just folders inside each folder with a square icon and i CANNOT delete them at all and it looks as tho the space is taken up by these folders when checking how much disk space is left.

What i'm saying is could this be causing it to not work properly ??

Do u know how to delete these folders too ?

Thanx

It could be the cause of the problem. It sounds like a hacked chip but there is no telling what size it really is. The only way to clear the files is to format the player, doing so will generally remove the hack as well. You could format it with windows or there are a couple of tools for formatting in the Download>Tools section if windows will not format it. If you get a chance take the back off your player and note the memory chips (generally the largest on the board) serial and brand and we will find out what size it really is.
If you do not have a backup of your firmware I suggest you make one with s1fwx which is also in the tools section and there is a guide to using it in the Knowledge Base.

Unfortunatly it is 5am and I am turning in, will catch up tommorrow.

Sleep well dude

I have formatted the player but not b4 grabbing my firmware with S1fxw. my player still works ok and has all the features on it after format. all dodgy files are now gone thanx mate.

I have taken the back off and the biggest chip reads as follows :

Samsung 622
K9WAG08U1A
PCB0

FHE232A2

Another problem to encounter now. Sorry

When i try to run the AMV utilities 3.68 it says i have a virus.
I have uninstalled the 4.03 version but it's still virused up.
Any idea's ??

I'll try to uninstall 3.68 and install it all again see if that works.

I appreciate the help u give out and it's nice to have guys like u about to help !!! as i get ZERO responce from the guy i bought it from on Ebay.

Keep up the good work
