Converting .mpg files to .smv sigmatel motion video
 

I just bought a re-badged 2GB Audio/Video mp3 player. It plays songs no worries, but to play music videos you need to convert the files to .smv format (Sigmatel motion video). The unit comes with a disk with file conversion software on it, but everytime I try to convert a file with .mpg extension it comes with the message "No audio codec is available for this file. Please install a correct codec" I have installed a couple of codec files I downloaded, but still no luck. The files play on my PC ok. Any answers for me? Thanks.

mg1312, I do not know what codecs you have installed but if you have not used it I would recommened the K_Lite Mega Codec Pack which you can download here:

It covers almost every codec you could think of. If you are still having problems then you may need to convert the file to .AVI before converting to SMV

That didn't work - I presume installing the codecs via the .exe file would automatically cause the computer to know where they are to access. Any other solutions/similar experiences anyone? I have put a call in to the retailer to look at, and am waiting a reply.
