[solved] help needed to play video files.
 

I have converted the video files using the amv converter that came with the player. Once i have pasted them or dropped and dragged them into the drive and turn the player on, it says there are no files to view. I am able to put photos and mp3s on but have spent hours trying to do this with no luck at all. I have looked at the settings on the player and it says version 00.00.0001. Please help if you can, this is for my niece for xmas

psmith0103, Looking at your firmware version number I would guess your player is using a Sigmatel chipset but that is an odd version number.
If it is a Sigmatel player then you need to use an SMV video format converter. You can download one here:

tintin19, It is a nice looking player, but there are heaps of bizarre feature. Looks like a Chinese to English online translation.
Did it come with a sample video?
If so what format is the sample?
Have a look in the players settings menu and see if you can find the firmware version.

yes it came with a sample video
but i deleted it T____T
i don't know why i deleted it grrrr
i don't know what's the format now
i'm soo pissed right now

tintin19, Did you find the firmware version?
We can work out what it is there are only so many formats.

the version is 00.01.0004

is there a way that i can put videos?
i hope there is a way
thanx for your help

tintin19, Well it is not an AMV player, it could be a Sigmatel in which case it will play SMV files, you can try this converter.

Or it could be a Rockchip player (but they usually have an SD Card slot), and run .avi files you could this converter:

Re: help needed to play video files. PLEASE
 

I downloaded the smv converter, and the player now seems to recognise the files as they appear in the movies fiel, but when i try to play them it says file format error. Am at my wits end with this.

I am using the avi output on the smartsoft video converter. Is that right?

psmith0103,I have never had a Sigmatel player so I have never used the SMV converter but a format error on an amv conversion can usually be fixed by lowering the frame rate.

What are you using smartsoft video converter for?

Re: help needed to play video files. PLEASE
 

many thanks i sorted it using the smv converter.

it still doesn't work T_T

tintin19, PMP transcoding tool is a video converter usually used by Sunplus chipsets. The rest is just babble about release notes. If you want to try a PMP Transcoder you can get one here:

it's still not working
i'm soo sad ryt now and pissed Y_Y

tintin19, I have no problem downloading it. The only thing I can think of is if you are using a download accelerator program you need to disable it because you can only use them on rapidshare if you have a paid account.

i got it
i have the PMP transcoding
and i converted my video
but still not working
i don't know y

i've been doing this for the past 2 days
and i can't figure it out how to put videos on my mp4
i think i should give up now Y_Y
well i should bought a regular mp3 player if i can't watch videos on this mp4 that i bought
***sigh
man! i'm pissed now
ne ways thanx for your help tadad1
i might try again next time
but i really want to fix this
thanx alot~

tintin19, What video formats have you tried so far?

i've tried
AVI, WMA, AMV, SMV, and PMP

tintin19,
Could your player detect any of those formats?
Did any of them play at all even if just for a second?
Did you get any warning messages when you tried to play them?

nope Y_Y
when i go to the videos in my mp4 it's not there
the videos i uploded is not appearing on my mp4
there is a "navigation" on the menu and i clicked it
and i went to videos
the videos i uploaded appeared but they can't be played
i don't know y

tintin19, I suggest you email the seller and tell him you are having problems with video playback and accidently deleted the sample video, and ask could he send you a copy of the sample video.

ne ways
can i upload videos from youtube?
just wonderin if i can do that

tintin19, Yep, VDownloader will download and convert YouTube and Google Video to .avi.

http://www.mympxplayer.org/web-video...-mb-df329.html

how do i use it after i download a video
i converted already a video
how can i transfer it to my mp4 player?

tintin19, once you have downloaded it you then need to pass it through the Rockchip AVConverter the same as with your other video conversions.
Then just copy the resulting .avi file to your player.

ok
thanx alot ^_________^

tintin19, If you open Vdownloader then add the web url of the video you want to download. Then select Options>Preferences from the VDownloader menu bar and set format, size and bitrate.

Then when you press the download button the save dialogue will open and you can select where you want to save the .avi and the name.

Once you have downloaded the file run AVConverter
1 select the file you want to convert in this case the .avi you just downloaded with vDownload.
2 The location where you want the converted file to be saved.
3 The name you want to give to the finished .avi

Press Save, Close and Convert now and then copy to your player.

thanx^_______^
