Full Screen Video Problem (Mac User)

[Elisse]

Hi everyone!!

First I just want to say a big thank you for this great site - the information on here has been so helpful!!!


I have an Uxcell Diamond MP4 player with 1GB of memory and a 1.8 screen, which I love, everything about it is fantastic and I'm so happy with it, it's a great little player!


Ok, on to the problem - my player only plays AMV files, I'm a Mac user and as we all know there is no AMV converter for Mac. I know some people have managed to install the software via a Windows Emulator software, but I haven't used that because there seems to be no free versions online. Anyway, I found an online conversion site (media-convert) which converts files to AMV, I managed to convert some files to AMV but when I played them on my player, they appeared small in the middle of the screen with a black border, not full screen size! I have seen other people have the same problem on here and have been advised to use a special trick where the convertion is stopped part way through the the resulting file size changed - but that is for the AMV converter software which I can't use.

I was just wondering if anyone can think of any way that I can manage to convert files via the media-convert website and make them full size on my screen?


I have tried to resize the files to 160X120 before they are converted to AMV..but that didn't work! My player originally came with two small videos (you know the La Isla Bonita video that everyone gets! hahaha ) and those videos work perfectly full screen size, also I downloaded the Jesus Christ video that was uploaded in the sample files and that works perfectly too, it's only the files I have converted myself that appear small.


Here is my firmware information....

Elisse, Interesting info I had not heard of this site. I had a look at it and can find no way of adjusting the size. 96x64 which is the resolution being converted to is the default size originally for 1.2 inch players.

I have read of some mac owners using Parallel Desktop and being able to run the PC AMV converter. You can download a 15 day trial HERE but then you would also need to obtain a copy of Windows XP so may not be much help to you.
