APPLE IPOD VIDEO 80 GB$349 VS. ZEN VISION W $

What Would Be The Better Deal? How About Comparisions Between The 2?

Vision W's price is now $300. And to compare them, read the reviews on Cnet.com. Also consider the Zen Vision:M rather than the iPod, it is much better.

  • How to save video to play on Creative Zen Vision M

    My (PC using) friend just bought a Creative Zen Vision M (the competitor to the video iPod). It will play MPEG1, 2, and 4SP and will play MPEG's created in an older version of iMovie (I forget which, it's been a few years). For some reason, the MPEG4 version created by iMovie HD6 is not compatible with the Zen player.
    Does anyone have any ideas of how to export from iMovie HD 6 in a format that can be used by the Creative Zen Vision M?
    Thanks.

    >Hi,
    Sorry about your ZEN Vision:M. From what you mentioned, I don't think the data is recoverable under normal means. You probably might want to take it to a technician? or someone who is familar with electronics to see if they can remove the harddisk from the ZEN Vision:M and recover the data.

  • Ipod video vs. zen vision

    i have a 4th gen ipod 20gb that i am selling. I was looking into the zen vision: M or ipod Video. I download a lot of xvid movies/TV shows. Ofcourse I will use this for music as well, but my main concern is the video. Does the Ipod video support XVid's like the Vision does. Are there any other mp3 players out there that compare?
    Also, does anyone out there use the Zen Vision in there cars, I know IPod's are pretty popular in the car.
    Any help would do in making my desicion, thanks.

    I was also deciding the what will be my next MP3 player. I used a Neeon about a year ago, and switched over to 4G ipod. I am doing buying reaseach and that lead me to this site again in search for a reason to buy a Creative's ZVM, which I really want to support.
    I like ipod that it just works and its elegent way of integrating with PC's iTune, podCast, videocast. I am a bit worry about reliability of ZVM based on its numerous problems reported. I can OK with its chunky body and plastic material surface.
    However, if you main concern is video, I suggest you skip ipod video because, unlike ZVM, video is not ipod main selling point. Its screen is less idae for video and it supports only two video formats (MP4 & H264). For me, the strategy is to wait till Creative irons out all the problems of ZVM, or new video ipod arri've, whichever come first.

  • Zen Vision: M and .AVI Fi

    So, the official site says it cannot support it but it is odd that the Zen Vision can support it whereas the Zen Vision:M can't. So I would like to know if DivX .AVI files are supported by Zen Vision: M and if I am going to use my Zen for a mix of Music but also for video what yould you reccomend, Zen Vision or the Zen Vision: M.
    Thank You,
    The Demanding Consumer

    Vision or Vision:M
    Yes, the vision:M plays DivX files:
    Supported video formats: MPEG/2/4-SP, WMV9, Motion-JPEG, compatible DivX 4,5 and XviD
    The Vision is designed primarily with video in mind, with its 3.7" screen. If you plan on watching videos (30 minutes+), then I suggest the Vision. The 2.5" screen on the Vision:M is good for watching short clips but, even with my eyes, it is hard to watch it for long amounts of time. Granted, the Vision is a bigger player with a bigger price tag, but has features the Vision:M doesnt. For good reviews of both, check www.cnet.com. Both are great players, and youll be fine with either.

  • Creative ZEN Vision:M or 5th Generation iPOD Video ?

    So which one would you pick? The ZEN or the iPOD. Yes, I know most people would say the ipod since this is an apple board but this ZEN Vision:M business is pretty awesome.
    If you had the option to return your ipod and get the ZEN Vision, would you ? I mean, come on, look at this thing. Its a beast !
    I also wanted to ask if anyone owns this thing ? i wanna ask a few questions about. i.e. battery life (since the ipod totally wreaks in that subject), compatability, other things..

    Re: 4 hours playback... See my explanation about how Creative arrived at their playback times vs. how Apple arrived at theirs. If you want to listen to 64kbps WMA files, and watch 500kbps MPEG4 video, go right ahead. You could get the same result on your iPod listening to 64kbps AAC files and watching 500kbps MPEG4 video.
    Re: double the songs... again, see my explanation about how Creative arrived at their 15,000 number vs. how Apple arrived at their 7,500 number (hint: 64kbps WMA files vs. 128kbps AAC files)
    Re: more audio formats... yes. the Vision:M adds the ability to play WMA files (the iPod can play MP3 and WAV files)
    Re: more video formats... yes. The Vision:M adds the ability to play MPEG1/2, WMV9, Motion-JPEG, and XviD.
    Re: FM radio, recorder, voice recorder, yes. Points to Vision:M.
    Re: iPod's batter turning red with 2 hours left to go... the battery meter is an estimate, nothing more. If it really bothers you and you can't ignore it, put a piece of black electrical tape over it. My battery meter is fairly accurate, but I've ran my iPod completely dead and charged it up completely 2x since I've bought it. Seems to have helped.
    Re: scratching issue.. seems like there were a few people on those engadget posts that were complaining about their Zen (non-vision:M) scratching up pretty bad. My guess is the Vision:M will have the same problems (but that's a guess).
    So, summary... If you need a FM radio/recorder, or a voice recorder, or don't want to transcode video you already have in a supported Vision:M format, or have your audio in WMA format, and are willing to deal with the extra width and cost, then the Vision:M might be for you. Be aware that Creative's battery life numbers are even more unapplicable to real-world use than Apple's are (I don't know of anyone that listens to 64kbps music anymore, and who would encode their video at 500kbps MPEG4?).

  • Zen Vision M VS Video Ipod

    <SPAN class=postbody>I've been wondering what the lucky ones that already have bought a Zen Vision M think of it ?I got to upgrade my Ipod Photo and was wondering if i should either go for the Ipod Video or Zen Vision M. Both look like they are good players and i've purchased quite a few models from Creative but resorted to go with the ipod cause size does matter to me plus I must say the interface from what my ZEN NX was a fabulous upgrade. But now I wonder if i should jump back with Creative. I know the ZEN NX is outdated and wanted to know how the new model compared to the 5G Ipod. I understand that few already have one in their hands so I thought this would be the best place to ask.
    <SPAN class=postbody>I've looked alot on the net for comparaison websites and i've found so far just one here that gives a Ipod 5G VS Creative Zen Vision M review. Anyone got another more complete website perhaps ? Or perhaps one of you first hand tried both ?Would love to have an honest and unbiased advice.thanks!

    Well, if size is important to you, then the iPod 30GB is your best choice. The new 30GB iPod is less than half an inch thick, which makes the Zen Vision: M nearly twice as thick. The 60GB iPod is only as thick as the iPod mini was.
    The Zen Vision: M claims twice as much battery life for video as the 30GB iPod, using 500kbps MPEG-4. Apple's battery life rating is based on H.264 video encoded at 768kbps for video and 28kbps audio. That's nearly 900kb
    ps.
    Apple always bases their battery life claims off of what they sell at the iTunes Music Store, and that is what the video they sell is encoded at.
    The iPod DOES support H.264 video. The Zen Vision: M does not. This means that you can get a video down to about 480kbps (384 video 96 audio). Go here http://www.videora.com/en-us/Converter/iPod/ and test it out for yourself. Video at that bitrate looks fantastic. Much much much better than WMV, divx/xvid, or standard MPEG-4 at that bitrate. You can get the same quality as xvid/divx, or MPEG-4 at half the bitrate with H.264. WMV is just too bad to even look at when talking about those bitrates.
    Get the iPod. Use H.264, get better image quality or the same image quality at lower bitrates with longer battery life. Get a smaller player. Be happy.

  • IPod-video stuck on black/gray apple screen-won't reset

    My iPod won't reset. It displays the black/gray apple screen. When I hold down the select and menu buttons the screeen goes blank for a second and then the black/gray apple screen comes back. When I plug the iPod back into my computer it is not recognized by iTunes or the computer. All system software is up to date.

    Thank you for your help, although that didn't seem to do anything either. It just started working again today, yay!
    But after trying endlessly lots of things I finally gave up and just let it sit, it was on for awhile until the battery totally drained. I had forgotten about it and today I went to plug it in to charge the battery so I could try another round of possible solutions. I plugged in the usb cable, at first it went to the black screen with the logo. Then as I was about to walk away 10 seconds later I saw the screen light up then the menu appeared. I don't know what was wrong but it seems totally find now. So I don't know what I did or what happened but it seems to be working with no problems again.

  • HT1454 Can't see ipod videos from 60GB ipod classic.  I have Apple USB/video cable running through Onkyo receiver into Samsung TV. Video & TV out settings seem correct-I can see album cover, but no video. Is it possible to get itunes music videos to play

    Can't see ipod videos from 60GB ipod classic.  I have Apple USB/video cable running through Onkyo receiver into Samsung TV. Video & TV out settings seem correct-I can see album cover, but no video. Is it possible to get itunes music videos to play or do I need to get new ipod.   It works on my iPad and iPhone, but not through iPod Classic.

    Are these music videos located under Videos on your iPod?  Do it play other regular movies (if you have any on the device)?

  • Does apple make an armband that fits the iphone and a g5 ipod video?

    I'm getting an iphone for graduation in may but right now I have a 5th generation ipod video, and I have a gift card for apple. So is there an armband sold by apple so i can use the gift card and use the band for both devices

    They are different sizes with controls in different locations, so one case is unlikely to fit both (at least, not well). But, you may want to look at the Marware Sportsuit Convertible - it's being discuntinues so it's only $5:

  • IPod Video(5G) Original Apple Case

    Hello! Please, can anyone tell me how can I get the black case/pouch that used to be shipped with the iPod Video 5G(Video)? Or is there somebody who would eventually sell it?
    You can see the case in this picture: http://i.fosfor.se/i06/060921_1k.jpg

    Martin--
    I'm not all that sure that's a case. It may be just a cleaning cloth for the screen.
    In either case, I'd try either eBay or the Apple Store online.
