2nd Zen Vision 30GB player for daughter from New

The first unit kept freezing, then had to up date firm ware, this worked for about hour then froze again. Finally the unit completely froze, looked like the Matrix. The second unit just received froze when she was viewing the jpg pre installed photo's. I deleted all the free ware and transferred three CD's. I checked everything out and it all seemed to work, but then this morning she just started to listen to a song and it froze and would not turn off or change tasks??Has anyone had this kind of problems with this Vision unit. This is not the M. Thanks.....

Creative Zen Vision 30GB - How to set IR Remote ON with Navigation keys not working in the play

I have Creative Zen Vision 30GB player. Within a month of buying, its navigation keys stopped working. I took it to the customer service of store where I bought it and they fixed it (their solution was to make firmware update, even though I do not understand how come that can fix this issue). Anyways after another 5 months of not so often use, the same problem returned (key pad stopped working and without it this player is useless). I sent it to Creative and they returned it saying that as it has few scratches on the edges, they believe it has been hit. I never dropped the player and these are normal scratches at the end if you do not use any skin (which I could never find for this player). Btw from my other friend's experiences, Creative always does like this, never considered warranty (so beware!). Anyways now the problem is that I have IR remote for Zen vision but it can not work till IR Remote setting in System->Player Settings is switched ON. And this can not be done as the navigation keys are not working. So please please suggest me some other way if anybody of you know to enable this setting through software. Otherwise this costly player is just a 30GB harddisk for me

Just wanted to mention - I bought the IR Remote thinking to make the player useful without navigation keys. Now I feel like I wasted more money instead of shifting to some other player by some other company with better customer service.

Zen Vision 30GB Firmware Problem - No solution wo

I have a Zen Vision 30GB (not a Zen Vision M or W, just a Zen Vision). On Friday I was trying to add songs to my Zen and halfway through adding the songs I got an error on the computer saying "player not connected". So I undocked the player, turned it off and reset my computer. Saturday morning I turned on my Zen to try to add songs again and I got the error message on my Zen?"Firmware Problem" and it put me in "Recovery Mode". The first thing I did was try to reload the firmware, but when I plugged the Zen to the computer it says "docked", but I cannot move through the menu. When I unhook it from the computer I can move through the menu. BTW I am running Windows Vista 32-bit. I have uninstalled the Zen software and installed the software off the Creative website for Vista, but when I try to run the firmware it says "Player not connected, please connect player."? When I plug the player in via USB my computer recognizes it and prompts me if I want to sync my player, so there isn't anything wrong with my USB connection. The?Device Manager recognizes it however Windows Media Player does not. I get the same error message when I try to do the Recovery Tool on the Creative website. I have looked for solutions on the forums and just doing Google searches, but I have not been able to get anything to work. Please help me!? The player is less than a year old. I have never had any problems with it before, never been dropped or anything like that, so i am not sure what is going on. Any help or suggestions would be great!? I sent an email to customer support yesterday and the reply I received this morning was no help. First they thought I had the Zen Vision M, even though I specifically said I had the Zen Vision and gave them the serial number and everything. I sent them back a message today and hopefully they can help, but it is frustrating having to send an email and wait around for a reply.

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.

Zen Vision 30GB SYNC is absurdly S

I upgraded from a 20GB Jukebox Zen Xtra to a Vision 30GB (NOT the M model) and have had a nightmare trying to transfer all my music files (about 20GB) from the Jukebox to my new Vision player. In Media Organizer, my Zen Xtra opens fine, lists the files quickly, and sync'd all the files to my desktop computer in less than an hour. (There were a few errors on some files but that's another story). But loading them from the computer to the Zen Vision in Media Organizer is ridiculous. It takes over 5 minutes just to load the Vision contents, and then it transfers at a rate of about a track or two a minute. At this rate it will take over 24 hours to load all the tracks on to my player. I was expecting the new player to be faster than the old one, not slower! This is unacceptable! Is there any kind of error anyone knows about that I could have introduced somehow to slow things down? This can't be the way it's supposed to work!

i'm feeling ya brother, i upgrade mine xtra 40G to ZVM as well, and when i open my music list, it's usually 0 min wait, so what i do is go do some dishes then come back. Or you can try to use media monkey, it's faster than mediasource, but somehow it doesn't let you edit as much mp3 tags as the mediasource.

Zen vision video cable for pocket projector

http://www.anythingbutipod.com/archi'ves/2006/04/zen-vision-m-video-cable-other-4pole-35mm-pinouts.php
has anyone tried this to their video out cable that can let me know if it works? I don't want to go out and start splitting wires after a single article so i'm asking here. I just bought an aaxa p pocket projector http://www.aaxatech.com/products/kp9..._projector.htm for my zen but i'm also thinking about getting standard cables to hook it up to the TV or monitor. The aaxa p works fine at night and as a mobile toy to project the zen image but washes out with the lights on as you can see here:

otherwise, it looks great in the dark.

soooooooooo i need to build a cable that lets me hook up the zen to my tv or computer monitor. Please let me know if anyone has tried this.

I had the same problem with mine. I had to use the sync adapter that came with the player?to plug the cabe into & I also had to update the firmware on the player. Hope it works for you.

Aspect ratio problem in Windows Media Player for DVD from DVD Studio Pro

So I made a DVD with DVD Studio Pro and it looks good in Apple's DVD Player, on an Insignia DVD player appliance and on Playstation 2. Both the movie and the deleted scene were 16:9 from camera to Final Cut Pro and they show that way in all these players.
But on Windows Media Player for Windows XP, the program thinks the movie is 4:3 and the deleted scene is 16:9. Nero's Showtime has the same exact behavior, but at least you can force aspect ratio on Nero.
Besides being longer, the movie is different from the deleted scene in that the movie was originally out of Final Cut Express on an older Mac and it was encoded big endian. The deleted scene was output from Final Cut Pro and encoded little endian. I didn't think it would make a difference, but I tried outputting the movie from Final Cut Pro on the newer Mac and it did come out little endian. I took that into DVD Studio Pro, got rid of the old VIDEO_TS folder and re-built the project, burnt a new DVD. Then I went back to Windows and...
...the same exact problem. Some of the people I give this DVD to will be using Windows Media Player to view it, which is why I want this to not be an issue at all. What am I overlooking?

Look, everyone here (who each have been creating DVDs for over a decade) is telling you the same story. WMP is buggy. Everyone in the industry knows that. Hardware manufacturers like Dell and HP, know that. Why don't you use the DVD player program that they put on the hard drive? Sure one "Hollywood" title works. Did I mention that WMP is buggy? Test a thousand titles, and I'm certain that you will find some discs have problems on WMP, and WMP alone. (And it isn't my assertion that Hollywood DVDs have issues in WMP, everyone is telling you that.) No one has a solution for this, except to not use WMP. Let me repeat once again, no one has a solution for this except to not use WMP. It is impossible to add any sort of programming to the disc that will detect which player is being used to play the disc and compensate for the problems of that player.
Let me put it this way, if you have a disc that plays fine on Zeus's device, and on Apollo's device, and on Hera's device, and on Hermes' device, and on Artemis' device, but you have problems with Athena's device, then logically, Athena's device has a problem... not the disc. Your own experience has proved this to be true. If you were having problems with every device used, THEN you could rightfully say that there is a problem with the disc.

Wanted: Zen Vision M wallpapers for desktop

Hi,
I have a strange request: I really like the design of the wallpapers offered on the Creative Zen Vision: M. I am trying to find 024X768 versions of them?to use on my desktop PC. I've scanned Google countless times without any results.Does anybody have those, if they do exist?Cheers.

The only harddisk-based PMP available would the Zen Vision:W and there are people who said that the new flash-memory based Zen Player is a replacement of the Zen Vision:M .
I do still see?a few units?of the Vision:M sold at some retail stores here in Singapore but they are basically just clearance models.

Creative Zen Vision 30Gb Stuck in Recovery Mode, Freezes when trying to deal with Firmware

My Zen Vision is stuck in Recovery Mode. The PC recognizes it but it comes up as 50mb Storage Media. When you touch Reload Firmware or Format All, it freezes and you have to pull the battery out to shut it off. I don't know what to do. Charges fine, never said anything about HARDWARE issues, just can't get it to not freeze when trying to load firmware back onto it.

I did the same thing, my unit was working perfectly.
I just read that these players have a laptop 2.5 hard dri've installed in the unit. If this is true, the next chance I get, I will take my unit apart (40 gig nomad zen xtra) and see if I can reinstall the firmware directly. It's probably what they do at the repair sho
ps.
Check it out, It may be worth a try!!!

Cannot Edit Playlists in Zen Micro Media Player for Zen Micro on Windows Vista 32

When I click on the icon for my Zen I do not get a folder list - just a music library. As a result I cannot edit any playlists I have created as there is no icon for it. Please could anybody advise me? Many thanks.

The Media Explorer for the zen micro is not compatiable for Vista I have the same problem.

So, I got a Zen Vision 30gb on Eba

And sure enough, there was no installation CD when I received the unit. Other than that, the player works just fine. Is there any way I can avoid buying a new installation CD?

You can download it from this site - go to the support tab at the top of the page, choose your model of mp3 player and then it will give you the software to download. You can sync the ZVM with either WMP 0 or mind you - without installing?the software.

ZEN VISION 30GB - Music Capacity Quest

Re. http://www.creative.com/products/pro...4&product=2985?I would want to store as much music?as possible. Can I use the entire 30 GB for MP3 files or is the player partitioned for music, video, and pictures thus limiting the space that can be used for each file type. Thanks. AZ

It is not seperated or partitioned for certain files, you can use the space whichever way you want, if you want to put only music on it, you can do that.

Zen vision M: playlists for vide

Hit there!?I bought this player a few days ago, and i love the quality and freedom.But there is only one thing that puzzles me, why isnt it possible to make playlists or play more than one video at a time? I have about 70 musicvideos in the player and when me and a friend was out driving car and was listening to some of the music we played some of the videos because i simply didnt have the songs in mp3 format. Then it struck me that i have to manually choose a new musicvideo to play every time one ends. It im right, and there is no way to play more than one video at a time, i would be more than happy to see a firmware update with the function to play more than one video. I dont think its hard to implement this.

indeed it is...

I Need Help With My Zen Vision M 30GB Player ASAP

Tonight i had started deleting of my music folders on my creative zen vision m 30gb player and as it was doing that i accidently disconnected the usb cable from the player. After that the player was froze on the docking mode and i hit the reset button with a paper clip. Then after that for some strange reason my computer does not detect my zen vision m player as being connected to the computer. the docked screen appears on my player but the arrows keep spinning and my pc keeps saying found new hardware mtp device and does nothing but repeat that over and over again. I run windows xp pro service pack 2 with windows media player installed. I really need help asap to resolve this issue and have my pc reconize it normal again where i can access my music folders and playlists again.

The core problem is related to Microsoft Windows Media . To resolve the issue, you need to uninstall MWM v from the Add/Remove Programs. Then it will rollback to MWM v9. Unplug the player from the USB port. Reinstall the supplied software from Creative if you need too. Reboot, plug the device into the USB port. Reinstall the device driver for the MP3 player. Reload the latest firmware. The file can be downloaded at

Zen Vision M 30gb huge prob

This is the second time this has happened to my Zen Vision M player, everything works fine on it for a couple of months and then the screen starts having issues. (I don't mistreat my player or leave it on for huge amounts of time or watch videos on it - for the record)
The issue I had to begin with was when it was booting up the screen had lines across it and the picture was grainy and weak, but on the menu screens everything looked fine.
I just turned my player on today and the problem had spread to the menu.
Has anyone else had this problem? Can it be fixed or what should I do?

If you need more information i'd be willing to read out the information from the player or record a video of my zen being booted up so you could see what the problem is.
