Divx 6.1 support for Zen Vision

Greetings all
I bought a Vision M and I am very happy with it, however there is something I'd like to confirm; does the Vision M support Divx 6. I am in the process of enconding my entire anime DVD collection using Divx 6. and I would like to be able to transfer it to the Vision M when I am done, if version 6. is not currently supported will Creative release a firmware patch to make it compatible in the future?
thanks!

before you draw conclusions, why don't you do some small tests with 20 second videos?
I don't have a ZVM, but I figure that if you use only basic functions of DIVX6., then it will work just as well as divx5.
Of course, if you use the features (file format, subtitles, menus) that were added specifically to divx 6. , that's another story... But I would think there's a good chance you don't (generally speaking).

What happened to STARBUY for Zen Vision M 60 GB scheduled for today Dec 2 @10

Hey everyone,
I participated in Nov's starbuy, didnt manage to get anything and after it, I checked back a couple of days later and saw that Dec starbuy was scheduled for today 2 Dec at 0pm for Zen Vision M (Black) 60GB. But just logged onto Creative Online Store and didnt see the link for Starbuy. Anyone know what happened to it's? Does this mean no more starbuy from now on?

I also was eagerly watching for the starbuy that you have referred to on Dec 2 at 0pm. I must say I'm disappointed with what Creative has done. Sure, they have every "right" to withdraw their offers but they did not bother to inform the public about it. I personally checked the website patiently from 9pm to 030pm thinking that maybe they were getting ready to upload the website with the starbuy. But NO the stupid link kept going back to the creative homepage. And they sneakily removed all the advertisements to the starbuy.
What p**ses me off even more is that if you check today, they have sneakily changed it to some "SoundWorks 500DAB" which is a new item but nobody's ever heard of before or is probably interested, compared to the ZVM 60GB. It's quite big (it's not a mobile player, .92kg, looks more like a mini-compo) and only plays "Digital Audio Broadcast" (what's that?) and FM Stereo. Hello Creative? What era is this? Who wants to buy this only to leave it at home to listen to the radio or DAB? It's not mobile, it can't play MP3s or video or photo. Or even CDs.
Check it out at sg.store.creative.com/starbuy
Why they decided to pull the ZVM beats me. I have no idea. And why Creative has started selling what looks like basically an expensi've radio (ie, they are going back in time) beats me even more. As echoed by many Internet reviewers, compared to Apple Ipod, Creative's MP3 players are pretty good and they should focus their attention on that, try to make them even smaller and longer battery life, more functions, more codecs, better screens, BUT what we see is Creative di'versifying and designing/manufacturing so much new products that they may not have a market for.
EDIT: Ok I just checked, about DAB: from Wikipedia
Digital Audio Broadcasting or DAB is a technology for broadcasting audio programming in digital form that was designed in the late 980s but which is now being introduced in many countries. The original objecti'ves of converting to digital systems were to enable higher fidelity, more stations, less inteference, mobile services and additional information such as text, although in practice the vast majority of radio stations on DAB sound worse than on FM.
In Singapore, MediaCorp's SmartRadio was launched on 9 November 999. Using the Eureka 47 DAB system, SmartRadio provides six digital-only stations and eight simulcast FM services, along with images and text to supplement the audio. Singapore was the first country to reach full DAB coverage.
My response: I still think that Creative should work on their mp3 players. They could try introducing this DAB technology into their MP3 players, maybe be the first in the world to do it. Sooner or later another company's gonna do it.Message Edited by fourseven on 2-04-200602:30 AM

Video conversion issue for zen vision m 3

hi all im brand new to the forum. i seem to have 2 issues.firstly i cant find any free software to convert dvd to a file format supported by my zen vision m.anyone have any ideas?secondly (and this is the big one), i am really disappointed with the video feature of my vision.i had a zen micro before and thought it was fantastic.software was great, menu system was great.so when it was time to upgrade there was no question it was going to be a creative again.but when it comes to the supposedly supported video file formats i feel i've been duped.if i use the video converter in the software (for avi from my camera to wmv)?it tells me theres no audio.it wont work with mp4 files at all.that just freezes my zen.why do they claim it supports mp4 when it doesnt ?has anyone got this problem too?i have the latest firmware upgrade so it cant be that. thanks folks

I use AVS Video Converter from http://www.avsmedia.com/. I think it costs about $30 if I remember right. It converts practically?everything that isn't protected. They even have presets for the Zen Vision, although not for the Vision:M or Vision:W. However, it lets you easily make your own presets. The program is fast and very easy to use once you learn it. However, there is a bit of a learning curve. It has a good, simple interface but they don't hold your hand. The help is also very good. I've been using it for about 2 years and I'm glad I have it. By the way, I'm a customer of theirs and I don't get anything out of posting this. Barry?

Hello all:
I have an idea for those who are looking to add album art:
I have yet to see if it works with the Vision:M (mine will be here next week), but I used mediamonkey to add album art to my mp3 catalog (,200+ songs). Its easy to do and you can add art to an entire album of songs at one time. It uses Amazon's database for album art. As long as you have things properly tagged its completely automated (It took me ~.5 hours to ad album art to my entire collection). It will also ask you if you want the picture to be embedded in the id3 tag (which as far as I know you do for the Vision:M). Finally, mediamonkey is a great Mp3 management tool. Its free and you can get it at www.mediamonkey.com.

Mac support for zen mi

i'm planning on buying an ibook/macbook soon...
and apparently there's no support for mac with regards to zen micro (or any player for that matter)
so might need to change to an ipod soon if there is no update for support of macOS.
don't want to use bootcamp too.

Yeah, there's an unofficial but working program that is comptabible with Creative players. It is called XNJB and has been confirmed to work on macs (specifically with zen micro and Vision:M). Here's the link:

Will my old wall charger for Zen Vision:M will work with the (New) Z

i bought a wall charger from amazon for my Zen Vision: M 30GB, will it work with the (New)Zen? i just bought the Zen 6 GB and it doesn't comes with an adapter, pretty bad move there, well, does it has the same plug? i hope it's compatible. thanks

sebastiankf,
That third party adapter from your Amazon link is hard wired specifically for the Vision:M and will not work with any other Creative player unless it has the same pin-outs using the same docking interface. The Creative AC-5V adapters will either have a coaxial power plug connection that will work with most of the Creative hard disk based players, except for the original NJB and Zen Micro, or a USB Mini-B plug that will work with all of the flash players that have a USB connection and the Zen Micro.

Greek Language Support for Zen To

The majority of my music collection is Greek songs and it'ss a real shame that Creative does NOT have language support for Greek. I tried entering a song in Greek letters since I have dual language support on my Windows XP. When I look at the Media Source Transferring program, the file name seems to be recognized and doesn?t seem as if there is a problem. However when I view the song title on my Creative Zen Touch (V 2..0 Plays for Sure) the characters are stretched out funny and doesn?t read accent marks similar to how I posted the example bellow.
A l l I [] s m e a f [ ] s e s ( These [ ] are due to accent marks I guess not being recognized Also pretend this is in Greek letters since this board won?t let me post it in Greek?)
Is there any way around this? It doesn?t seem like such a hard thing for the Creative people to fix?
The sad thing is that Apple actually has Greek language support and to me this is a huge importance to me. I don?t like writing my Greek song titles in Latin characters, it just seems silly.
Message Edited by Colorfinger on 06-06-2006 :29 PM

Hi Colorfinger,
I also own a Zen Touch and have exactly the same problem you have detailed below with the majority of the music I have loaded to the player as it is in greek and the player doesn't support it. I also have the majority of my music library in greek characters in Windows XP due to the cataloguing issues which arise if the track information is left in latin characters.
When I contacted Creative last year in regards to this they advised me they did not have greek language support for their players and had no plans on offering it in the future either. This of course makes the music library on the Zen Touch an absolute joke, irrespecti've of whether the track information has been loaded onto the player with greek or latin characters. If it has been loaded with latin characters you have the same artist appearing in various areas of the library due to the non standardised spelling of greek words in english. They are either typed phonetically, in greeklish or best guess english. If the track information is in greek, well we have the problem you have outlined in regards to the stress mark not being recognised, the spacing and the alphabetization of the library being a joke when the first letter ot either the artist/album/song is preceded by a stress mark.
I have to admit to being very disappointed as the main reason I purchased a Creative Zen touch is because I had been advised it had multiple language support and I did want to load all my music to the player with greek characters.
To anyone else out there with the same problem, make yourselves known and start asking for firmware updates to include greek language support, especially for people buying Creative's players in Greece.Message Edited by Tomaraki on 09-30-2006 06:00 PM

Car Kit for Zen Vision

Okay, so my previous post didnt seem to have a message..
Is there a car kit to play music from the creative zen vision m in your car?
I have a CD player in my dash, not a tape
thanks!

boltoncalling,
If you don't have a tape player in the card, the other options would be to connect directly, or use an FM transmitter.
Connecting directly is only possible if the stereo has that option. Some have an auxiliary input on the front, others have an input on the back, but some don't have an input at all. Check the manual for your car stereo if you can to see if it has any mention of an input. It might be on the back of the unit so you might need an adapter from the manufacturer.
The other option is an FM transmitter, with this you use that device to essentially transmit a signal from your player, that your radio can pick up.

Accesories for Zen Vision

Hi everybody. I've just bought a Zen Vision : M a couple of weeks ago. And now i want to install it in my car, ain't it possible to get a fm transmitter that charges thru the Mp3 player, and not thru the car charger?Otherwise you would have to constantly change the charges between the Zen and the fm transmitter... And another question, does anyone know when the accesories will be out in the stores in Denmark??/Aleks

if you get a belkin fm transmitter (or alot of other company's). they usualy run through a AAA battery. the battery usualy lasts awhile. so you don't have to worry. they plug into the headphone jack and that wont power the player. the reason why some companys use the lighter port on cars is to save you from using batteries, but that just limits its usage to in vehichles.
IF possible. check if your car stereo has a "line-in" jack. if there isnt a headphone plug on the front. it might be in the back of it. usualy newer ones do. you might want to check the players manual if you have on. or get somebody who knows what there doing to check for you. if you do that you can use a direct line (cord with female headphone plugs on both ends) to go straight from your Vision:M directly into your stereo. that will give you great sound quaulity. otherwise fm transmitters just give you around tape/stereo sound quality.
good luck.
no clue about the acessories. mind you, i've never seen creative accessories in stores anywhere here. they usualy only have the players in the stores. perhaps get it off creative.com

Petition | Audible support for Zen To

Folks,
This is a petition for Audible support for the Zen Touch with MTP/Janus firmware (2.xx). Please sign if you are interested in audible support for the Touch.
Thanks.

SIGNED!
Its true the Touch could use audible support, a while ago i suggested a similar function, putting a Line-in input on a separate adapter to record to the player, but no such luck.
It seems that Zen Touch, which is a FANTASTIC piece of hardware has been forgotten about, the recent Firmware upgrade has yielded some support back to the Touch. But as many Zen Touch users would probably agree, the support on optional hardware for the Touch has been really limited. I think before support the Zen Touch diminishes, there should be a few more upgrades made available.

Audioscrobbler and Last.fm for Zen Vision:

I was wondering what the chances were that we'd ever see a firmware update for the Zen Vision: M that will allow Audioscrobbling (www.last.fm). The player already seems to keep track of my listening habbits. Would it really be so hard to allow that information to be accessible from my PC?
According to the people at the Audioscrobbler forum, the only reason an Audioscrobbler plugin _doesn't_ exist for Zen players is that Creative's firmware is not open enough. Would it really be terribly difficult to open up the firmware and let the relevant information be accessible? For a lot of people, the ability to use Last.fm with their MP3 player would be a huge selling point. The Zen Vision: M is an otherwise very versatile player; it would be great to see this extra feature added in an upcoming firmware upgrade.
Anybody else out there want to see this happen? Any reason why it couldn't? Please chime in.

yes sure i want this last.fm plug-in if it ever happens. i Use last.fm everyday and would love to se my track listing being displayed on there from my creative zen vision m............... it was the one thing i was hoping it would have but knowing it didnt i nearly picked the ipod. saying that im glad i didnt ;-)

Is it possible to get Bluetooth enhancement for Zen Vision M?

hi all...
I have a Vision 30g, and i love it. It has never given me any trouble, and i have it for two years! And i know that's a good spell...some friends i know have gone through 3 ipods in the same time. Anyhow....
I got a nice set of bluetooth earphones for christmas, so i can use my phone and mp3 hadsfree while driving...the trouble is, my vision does not have bluetooth. Is it possible, or am i just wishing blindly, that some adjustment/download can be applied so my vision is bluetooth enabled?
I'm reaching here folks, any help appreciated...
Signed...A happy vision customer, that wishes to evolve!!

? It wasn't my intention to make you feel stupid. I had hoped the smiley would help convey that.
Bluetooth and 802. wireless do both use a radio in the 2.4Ghz band so your question wasn't completely off the deep end (unlike other things I've seen people request "in the next firmware update" that clearly would require hardware the player doesn't have). However, there are significant differences in the frequency bands and the way they use those bands. To each one the other looks like noise to ignore. If it were at all possible to reconfigure the wireless radio of the Zen, and I doubt it since highly integrated an miniturized products rarely include anything they don't absolutely need to accomplish their intended feature set, you'd only be able to use one of the other. To simultaneously support Bluetooth and 802. wireless you'd definitely need multiple radios.

For when a format or update of Video (Divx or MP4) Good for Zen V

Already that this subject this very written, but never is a solution for the problem of many users.
We trusted its company to buy a reproducer able to reproduce videos AVI, and not a format DIB who does not know anybody, that no program uses and is impossible to turn. The program of you, is bad, the archi'ves end up much weighing (but of .5 GB or more) cannot be changed the resolution, does not have options. My question, if it mounts he himself system that Zen M, because the V extra is not able to reproduce but formats, only DIB who is very bad. I request compatibility with Divx, Xvid, MP4, although we must lose something of capacity of the reproducer for one better update of codec, s I expose 3 possible solutions to you: - A Software de Converted with but options, possibility of manipulating the final quality, the resolution, the time, that allows to reduce the final weight. - A Software like the present one, but improved, allows that the video is codified, conserving at least the original weight. - Update of the Software of the Reproducer Zen V Extra, with greater compatibility of formats and codecs of audio video and, like for example Divx, Xvid, MP4, MTV, auque we must sacrifice final capacity of the reproducer. (up to 50 Mb could be sacrificed for the one best one of compatibility) And surely that you with the human equipment can remove some solution soon. I would like to see an update soon to solve this problem, that spoils so much the reproducer. Desire that communicates to me if the problem has been solved and they send the direction to me with the solution, this it is a message for the official moderators of creative and people in charge of the development of projects of creative. To pardon if this solved but to nonencounter the solution to me. To pardon me by the writing, this translated to the English by GOOGLE.
Greetings.

Yes, as a matter of fact I did see that article...and I believe I tried everything that it suggested. And other sites that I visited kind of made me think its something reading wrong, because at first I thought it was simply the hard drive that needed to be replaced, but then when i swapped with a good one and still had the same issue, I realized that it could be several things. But not knowing the complete ins and outs of the construction, maybe I did something incorrectly. Can anyone tell me how to reformat with a windows disk or something. Because at times I can get it to mount, it just seems to be a game and cat and mouse. One thing works, when the other won't. I regained hope when forcing into disk mode was successful. Not sure if that was false hope or not. But thanx for the suggestion.
