How I got my Chinese MP3 MP4 Player to play video.

[ripper]

The instructions with mine were a text document that was in the player when I first got it.

...Still fiddling with one of these!!! I was trying to download a few YouTube clips, so I could work on different re-format options, to try to beat the dreaded 'file format error'.....I chanced upon the site :- YouTube Downloader - Software to download and convert YouTube video

Apart from a video clip downloader, it also has a format convert utility.... I tried it, and,.. lo and behold!!! selecting the 'convert to' option to 'XVID MPEG-4 CODEC (AVI)' , everything I have tried has converted, and played successfully!!! the new files are about half the origional filesize, as well, if converted on the 'optimum' setting.......

Hope that helps someone.....



Cheers Fred

Thanks for heads up on this.
I think it will be great if you want to download the files directly from YouTube and have it converted for you as well without using another software program.

?? Not sure if I made myself clear,... it will convert video from any source,... not just YouTube,...... you can 'Browse' to select input file,.. I used a couple of AVI films I had on my hard drive,... converted, and ran a treat....

Thanks Fred, even better!
Going to try it on my Rockchip player and see how it goes.
What are the specs of the video once it's converted?
I'll post feedback on this as well.

[comp]

Ok, all new to me, this,.. but the output file spec is:-
Image 640 x 480
112kbps
audio format mpeg layer3
video 23 frames/sec
data rate 1034kbps

doesnt mean a lot to me,.. all I know is the films I have converted play OK on the Chinese player that I and ripper have


Cheers, Fred

Good evening
I have a big problem with this model 16GB 2.8 "Touch Screen MP3 MP4 VIDEO PLAYER 3.0M Camera when connecting usb my computer recognized two hard disk, hard disk with 209 megabyte hard drive and a second with 15.59 go but I can not put anything in the drive please help me thank you

I have this same player and another generic Chinese player without a camera. I can use Avi Converter 3.0 and it works fine on the other player but when I converted a movie to play on this player it said "File Format Error" which was very confusing because I had converted an episode of a show I like and that worked just fine. The details were 320x240, 64kbps and 20 frames per second. Can anyone solve the riddle of why that episode played but movies don't?? I am very confused and I have been looking for a solution. Any help is greatly applreciated. Thanks!
