Creative Vision 60GB Question for mov

I've only had my Vision for 3 days and syncing music as we speak........around 800 songs and hour at the moment.
My question is what format people use to move a DVD onto the unit.
I use IMTOO Platinum V4 to move my DVD to WMV and then have Creative Video Converter to its thing.
It took over 75 minutes to convert a movie.
QUESTIONS:
What formats are people using?
What software are you using?
How long does it take?
I have the following software:
DVD Shrink
Nero Ultra V6
DVD Fab Express
IMTOO Platinum V6
What is the best format to use so its compatible with ZVM?
Cannot I simply drag and drop the files into the folders?
thanks in advance.

Many thanks for that..............
I just tried copying another movie into my ZVM using the iri'verter but it too took around an hour (was a shorter film then the first)......
Ok, seems that this is the length of time then it takes to convert a DVD across to the Zen standard.........no problemo....
thanks heaps anyway...... I now have two converters...

  • Creative Vision:M question

    hey guys
    i have a question about the Creative Zen Vision:M
    i was wondering how you can transfer a song to the mp3 player ..
    because i have the Creative Rhomba myself.. and i can do it very easily when i have the player connected to the comp, no programs nothing .. just by right mouseclick>copy to> and then the station from the usb ( rhomba)
    i really want to buy a zen vision:m but i really want to know first, if i can transfer the songs like my rhomba!?
    is there no programs needed for installation? i really dont like that though! just the simple old way (like my rhomba ) so please no programs etc..( like iTunes for example, programs like that )
    i hope its possible let me know
    thx !

  • Creative Zen vs Creative Vision M question regarding d

    Ok im traveling a lot so i descided to purchase one of those players so i can watch moovies . The problem is that i like the creative zen but i read that there is a problem with this model regarding the divx playback well not much of a problem but its still pain in the neck if you need to convert every video file to 320x240 everytime you wana watch something wich is not the case with the Vision M model with wich you just need to upload the moovie into the device from what i hear is there any truth to that because that will determine wich one i choose or that problem has been solved already !

    What about direct playback in the vision M series do you need to convert the file to 320x240 divx format in order to play it or it will play anything with curent resolution lower than 720xXXX ?

  • Creative Zen Vision M question!

    Creative Zen Vision M question!?Hey guys, I'm not from US but I hope you will understand my english anyway .
    So here's my question:
    Is there any legal way to get one of "creative zen vison m" players? I prefer new products... 60gb would be awesome..
    Since Im fed up with Apple and got already n Touch i simply want a player with a good capacity and just to listen to music... and i pretty much liked the creative zen vision m player... more than any new product from creative... all of em are more like multimedia and not "classy"....
    Furthermore I just find the product over google at customers site... if i browse all mp3players from creative I cant find the product i want.... It would be awesome if anyone knows a way to get a new one of these... and it would be kickass if it could get delieverd to EU/Austria
    At the end, thx for all the upcoming posts n answers and a picture of the desired product:

    really? :/ I dont like ebay and would prefer a new product... is there no other solution? Like writing to the customers and make out a good price for em to get a new of zen vision m?
    Otherwise, i know it doesnt fit here, but does any knows an "classy" player with about 30-60gig... like ipod classic, just for music n maybe photos... I dont need any multimedia .. got touch already...
    If anyone knows a good one which looks nice post here, would be awesome
    (I hope asking for other brands is allowed :S, otherwise sorry)

  • Creative Vision: M AV cable(watchin movies on

    I just got a creative vision:M and i got an AV cable for it but when i play videos through the cable to the TV all i get is sound and a somewhat white and black scratchy picture i dont know what i have to do to be able to watch my videos on my tv? Help!!

    Thanks you guys. It would seem I have very littl eoption but to get out my credit card and buy the ugly white s.o.b. Creative should give you loyalty points, man!! I mean, we're being forced to buy the bloody gear against our will, so why not show some sympathy? Fat chance, methinks!
    With regard to the length of thew cables reaching the tv, you can buy AV extension kits in any good TV/electrical store if you're feeling too mean to splurge on the RC kit. Also only?available in nappy white!! What gives?
    Thanks again?for the feedback you guys.

  • Question for Creative support t

    Hello,
    I want to buy Zen Sleek Photo and i got few questions:
    . Do i need to install driver/program on Windows XP PCs in order to use it as portable HD dri've or it's Plug&And play like Disk on Key?
    2. Can I copy MP3 files using Windows Explorer drag&drop *without installing any programs or drivers* or i have to use Windows Media Player + install proprietary driver?
    3. Can i browse copied MP3 files by directory? I keep each album in its own directory. I want to keep it the same way on player!
    4. Can I mark MP3 files and create/manage playlists in the player? What about erasing files?
    5. Any plans for adding text reading option?

    I'm not from support but I hope I can answer some of your questions
    ) The Zen Sleek Photo is 'plug and play' for music and photos (no drivers are needed). To transfer other documents that do not appear on the player (i.e. to use the player as a portable hard dri've), you can partition up to 6 GB for this purpose. This section of the player's dri've will appear as a removable disk dri've in Windows Explorer.
    2) You can drag and drop all files via Windows Explorer without drivers. Or you can use Creative Media Source Organiser or WMP 0, again without drivers.
    3) You cannot browse by directory on the player itself. The Zen Sleek Photo uses the 'search by ID3 tag' menu system (i.e. by Album/Artist/Genre), developed by Creative and used by most other players also. You can however store your player's files in folders, but be aware that these are only viewable/searchable via a PC in Windows Explorer or Mediasource, and cannot be viewed on the player itself. The titles of these folders do not have to bear any relation to the Album/Artist/Genre tag information. Also be aware that due to an annoying limitation of Microsoft's Media Transfer Protocol (which the Zen Sleek Photo comforms to), you cannot move files between folders on the player. You can only Create/Delete folders and add new tracks/delete tracks. If this annoys you, you can just keep your tracks in one folder or not create folders at all.
    4) You can create, name, add to, delete and remove tracks from playlists on the go. There is a guide on how to do this for the Zen Micro at the top of this forum: http://forums.creative.com/creativel...essage.id=0736 The process for the Zen Sleek Photo is very similar. Some advanced features such as 'Smart Playlists' can only be accessed via a PC. The Sleek Photo has a bookmarking facility for up to 0 audio tracks. Erasing files can be done easily when the track/photo is selected or is playing in the 'Now Playing' area. Just go to the 'options' button and click 'delete track'. You can also erase Artists, Albums and Genres.
    5) There is a petition to ask Creative to do this for their players: http://forums.creative.com/creativel...essage.id=5844

  • What travel dock/speaker system for the Zen Vision 60gb?

    Hi all, forgive me if this has been asked before, but I have just bought the Zen vision 60gb, and I would like a compatible travel dock; does anybody know which Creative dock the Zen 60gb will fit's I am not sure myself as the ones I have been looking at refer only to the Zen vision 30gb,
    I intend to use it for holidays, camping etc.
    Failing that, can anybody recommend a good portable speaker set up for the Zen vision 60gb?
    thanks for your time guys!
    cheers Dave

    Any set of computer speakrs can be connected to any MP3 player. They would be far more versatile than a docking station, as the docking station becomes almost useless after the player breaks. Alternati'vely, if your husband's office computer has speakers, he could just plug the Touch into the computer (may require a software installation) and just play the music through the computer (no cash outlay at all ?.)
    If you decide to go with speakers, $50 should be able to buy you a pretty decent set of amplified speakers; there is no need to go beyond a 2 speaker (stereo) system since MP3s only output in 2 channels.

  • Question about converting to Quicktime: "Searching for movie data"

    Hi All -
    I converted several clips on FCP to Quicktime files onto my MacBook Pro. They play just fine. However, when I send these files to someone else or try to play them when my external hard drive is disconnected from my MacBook, I get the following message: "Searching for movie data in file sequence Sequence1-FIN-0000006".
    The sequence number changes from one movie to the next, of course. Either way, the QT file will not play unless my external hard drive is connected to my laptop.
    Why is this? Am I converting wrong? I'm using the top Convert to Quicktime when exporting the footage.
    Any insight would be very helpful.
    Thanks!!

    Don't mean to disagree David, but that's not it.  What was exported were REFERENCE QT files...not SELF CONTAINED.  Meaning that smaller files were made that reference the media on the Capture Scratch.  They will work fine on your system, as the media being referenced is there.  When someone else tries to open them, they get that error, because they don't have the media being referenced.
    When you export QT Movies, you need to check the SELF CONTAINED box.

  • Creative Vision M help

    Hi, Ive had a new laptop with windows 7 for around 6 months and a creative vision M for around 5 years. The vision M has worked fine with the laqtop till this weekend. On saturday I thought it would be a good idea to move all my music onto the laptop, incase the mp3 player ever broke. I started the process but an hour in i accidently removed the usb cable. Today I tried to start the process again and now it says "device driver not succesfully installed" when i try to connect it. However, the player still says "docked" but the pc just wont recognise what the problem is. Has anyone else encountered this problem? Im anxious to fix it as only my vision M has my music on it, and now I cant take anything off it, or put anything on. Does anywhere know if I can download a new driver?
    would really appreciate any help

    Well I finally decided to format?all and it did so(took about 0 minutes). Now when I plug it in it reads it and has the little window on the bottom of the screen that reads "Docked". And when it showed "Docked" which only happened every once in a while before I formated it if it said this then when I tried to add new firmware it would seem like it was working but crash right before it ended. Now even though it says "Docked" when I try to?add new?firmware it says the Zen is not connected.

  • Creative Vision M Voltage Adapt

    Dear all,
    Planning to purchase Creative Vision M in USA but primarily going to use it in India.
    I checked the voltage converter in bestbuy it was showing 0V 50/60Hz.
    I feel Creative should have made this product uni'versal voltage. But want to confirm before investing $300.
    Please let me know if I need to purchase any accessories before start using in India. (India uses Circular pins for AC plugs).
    Apologize if this is repeat question.
    Thanks in advacne for help.
    Regards
    Samir.

    Hey sameer I will also be taking it back to India and dont purchase plug pin over here. India u will get that for max 40 bucks.
    But are you purchasing for yourself or giving it as a gift to someone. The reason I am saying this is because there is no store for creative in india and also no chance of any repair or return.
    What say is it worth taking the risk of buying Creative or play safe and buy an IPod. Surely IPod doesnt give so many problems as I can see with Creative. I have purchased mine but its in backorder right now so I can still cancel my order. Do give your comments of how comfortable are you? about buying Vision M

  • Is there a way to change the thumbnails for movies/videos?

    This may be more of a Leopard question, but I'm wondering if there's a way to change the thumbnail that OSX and Front Row display of movie files. I think this feature is awesome but would love to have more control over it so I can pick a frame from the video that relevant to me. Imagine Front Row's menu for movies with a bunch of thumbnails that are title screens or your favorite scenes from your movie collection (rather than a random thumbnail that may or may not even be identifiable to that movie).
    I've already included this request to Apple in a suggestion I sent along including a few other Front Row requests/suggestions I had including movie/video playlists, album art support over streaming/shared libraries, and music that doesn't stop playing when you return to the main menu.

    It appears that "saving" doesn't impact the quality, but wraps the file up in the .mov format (size and quality appear to stay the same). It worked ("saving" instead of using the save as a reference movie seems to fix the starting playback from the poster-frame issue). However, now a new issue has come up... I like to save the files to DVD as the original .avi so they will play on our Philips DVD players. However, being wrapped up in .mov means I have to have two versions of the file, and if my HDD ever dies or fills up I'll have to always correct the poster frame, and save another copy from the .avi original. Kind of frustrating... I wish Front Row/Quick Time would let you easily change the thumbnail and not have to change the format, etc.
    Thanks everyone for your help. Hopefully some of this feedback has helped others with similar questions.

  • How to tell Front Row to look for movies on a USB drive?

    I'm working on getting all my dvd's on two 500gb usb drives - using Handbrake to encode everything. This is much faster with a new 2.4ghz 24" iMac by the way (6-8hrs on my 1.8ghz athlon vs 1-2 with the iMac...woohoo).
    What I'm trying to do is get the movies (on the usb drives) to show up in Front Row. One way I know of is by making an alias for each movie and moving the alias to my "Movies" folder on the main HD. This is a little tedious. When I simply drag and drop it in the "Movies" folder it just copies it and that is not what I want. Is there a way to just tell Front Row where to look for the movies? If I use iTunes the same thing happens, it just transfers all movies to the main HD...nevermind. I unchecked the box that said to copy everything.
    The plan was on using iTunes for movies I encode specifically for iPods exclusively, searching through 600+ movies to get a few for the iPod doesn't seem user friendly.
    So the question remains. Is there another way to get Front Row to just see the movies on another drive without iTunes or using an alias for each one or are those 2 my only choices?

    I'm glad you got it figured out. Front Row actually looks for movie files in two places. First, as you've discovered, it looks inside your user's "Movies" folder. An alias there pointing to a different location will lead Front Row to the other location. Also, Front Row looks inside iTunes for movies. This way, it can find TV shows, music videos and movies purchased from the iTunes Music Store. Another option, besides making an alias in your "Movies" folder, would be to add the movies to iTunes.
