Help..adding movie to my zen vision

i'm trying to add a movie to my zen vision m. but when i go into the media explorer and click on convert, and add the movie in, i always get a message that says that the file is not a "valid source video file". can anyone tell me if there is another way to get it on my mp3 player? thanks.

i've had a wee look around and at this stage cant find many progs to convert directly to zen format, although anything that can convert to wmv should do, just make sure to keep the bitrate below 768 so the player can read it. I use xillsoft video converter 3 which works well, and after reading the forums i heard about and tried pocket divx encoder which is really good but you may have to convert again using creatives converter. you can find it here:

let me know how you get on

HELP!!! Creative Zen Vision M - unresponsive in ANY way...NEED HELP!

Ok, so this might be a very simple question to answer, but I'm very worried.
Pretty much, I had been using my Creative Zen Vision M (30 gig) for a long time, but stopped about a year ago. The batteried drained, and I didnt get around to charging it.
Now, it's been about a year, and I've tried plugging in the Zen into my computers to charge.
There is NO recognition of the player, no yellow alert, no new device alert, NOTHING.
The blue light at the top DOES NOT flash
And My media explorer thinks that it is not connected to the computer.
I've read a lot about Zens going black, and the blue light keeps flashing, but literally, from the time I plug in the Zen, to when it's sitting on my shelf, I notice no difference. I cannot turn on the player and it wont charge.
I tried using USB ports in the back, as well as leaving the zen plugged in all day to "Charge". Over 8 hours later, and the player does not budge.
I do not own an adapter to the Zen, but I tried a 4.5V sony one, and recieved nothing.
The simple question is:
After letting the player drain, and die after just under a year of no use, has my player bit the bisquit's
OR
Is my battery (or firmware, which unfortunately I have no idea what it is, but it sounds like I can upgrade without having the player turn on) simply taking it's sweet time to recouperate.
PLEASE LET ME KNOW!!! I am very desperate to get my player working again.

Leave the player connected to the computer & use a REAR USB port(with the computer on) for 24hrs. Or use a wall charger to charge the battery . It may take a hour for it to just start charging plugged in but once it does let it FULLY charge. That means until it stops blinking the battery icon it full & the player cuts off when done. Now I know Creative wall chargers are not easy to find & they are not cheap. The Sony PSP wallcharger is compatible with the players adapter(plugs into the center hole on the dongle) Also to get it charging after it has been connected for a time hit the Reset? while connected.Not easy but doable with a thin pin.

HELP ! Need help with the MyZenChecker. (Zen Vision:M isn't charging for first ti

I bought a Zen Vision : M some days ago. It won't charge. I?have WinXP,Service Pack and WMP0. I got GOOD on everything on MyZenChecker. I use the USB at the back. I've also tried with a USB charger which I put into the wall, but that didn't work either. I tried fix2, but I didn't get everything on how to get it work.
I download it. Double click the .bat file. It comes a black route. It's written that it was succesful. Then after that what should I do in details, please ?
I tried to restart the computer right after getting successful on the .bat file with the Zen connected. Nothing happens after I turn it on again. No blue light or anything. The computer can't detect it. Am i supposed to connect the Zen after restart ? Should it come a blue light right after restart or should I let charge for 5+ hours without the blue light and then connect it again to get blue light.
Please tell me what to do in details step by step. Thx

you shd connect it and reboot your PC. the myzenusb.bat is to amend your open up your USB permission. no blue LED light flashing means its not charging. I suggest you exchange this with your retailer since you just bought it

Help Getting Started with the Zen Vision:M (Z

Hi,I just got my ZVM and want to get started with it. I have a couple of questions, first:?. I have Windows Vista. Can I just plug in the ZVM and go without using the Installation CDs? Or do I still need to install something off of the installation discs?2. Why 2 installation discs? There is with a black cover that says Easy Start CD and has the Urge and Window Media Player logo at the bottom. The other is just in a plain white bordered sleeve with a light colored disc that says Zen Vision: M Installation CD at the bottom. I think I want to start with the light colored disc, but want to make sure. Thanks.

I think that the White disk that says Zen on it is the one you want it has Creative Media Source on it and is a very useful tool for me, the other disk has Windows Media Player on it and will also install a connection to a website that you can purchase tracks from (which i took off as soon as i found this out) not the WMP though, for some reason i could not get my Zen to work properly without the WMP loaded on my pc, however i use the Creative Media Source instead of the WMP.

How do i put a DVD movie onto my Zen Vision

I have decrypted it using (removed), and it took out all the Video_TS files. But the vision: M rejects it. And i don't to convert every single file because then i have like 26 files on the vision: M for one movie.Message Edited by Jason-CL on 04-7-2007 03:25 PM

We cannot allow discussion of how to decrypt, rip and copy commercial DVD on this forum as (in most countries) it is illegal. You may be able to find more information on this on other websites or search engines.

Need Help Adding Movie Artwork

Whenever I try to add a JPEG poster to one of my movies, nothing happens. In album view, there's a snapshot of the movie, but the snapshot doesn't appear in get info nor does "remove downloaded artwork" get rid of it. Does anyone know how to fix my problem so I can have artwork for my movie? Thanks!

Another one I'll have to try tonight.
It would also be nice to be able to have 1 artwork for an artist, so if you have 5 videos from 1 artist, they went under 1 category and you had control of the artwork that was on the link to that artist.

Zen vision LCD crack after

I refer to RMA reference number SHQ-Y-37374,i went to creative HQ SG to repair a bass problem in my earphones today, i went back collecting the player on the same day with the problem solved. While on my way back, watching a movie on my zen vision i found a pixel
size crack
on the LCD which cant go away, the LCD was flawless prior the RMA. Being a regular customer of creative with myself owning 2 zen vision 30gb, megaworks550w, zen V, zen microphoto, and a XFI fatality,i have a very good experience with creative,however i am very upset how the backend staff handle my rma equipment and hope that something could be done about this.

adriantan: To get help with that you'll need to contact Customer Support and make arrangements for another RMA. Just tell them what happened and they should take care of it for you.

On the Zen Vision M

Is there a LEGAL way to get videos (like hollywood movies) like iTunes ACTUALLY PURCHASING the videos. I don't want to get into illegal stuff like limewire, because i like to ACTUALLY support the director/band that i like with money. For Example. If you had a sweet band release a really good cd, have like 500 people buy it and the rest get it illegally, then there next CD would be underfunded and horrible. So can you tell me any site where i can legally get movies on my Zen Vision M. Thanks.

I believe sites such as vongo.com ( which is affiliated with the Starz! Network) allow you to download movies for a fee and transfer them to your portable video player. I believe the Vision M is supported, but I would check with someone that knows for certain before you subscribe to the service. There are other sites that are similar, too. Anyone in the forums use Vongo? Hope this helped.

Zen Vision M 30gB: How Do You Add DVD Movi

Just received this player as a gift from a friend. I think he got it at DELL. It was easy adding Music and it sounds great. I have to figure out how to use the Equilizer, Smart Sound (keeps sound levels constant) and Bass Boost...to arri've at the best sound quality. Takes some fiddiling as each changes quality. Through much trial and error i figured out how to add some video clips i had stored on my computer. They had to be converted even though they were in the acceptable AVI. format. Convertion TAKES A VERY LONG TIME to WMA but at least it worked. I then figured out how to download a "Simpsons" episode from Kazaa and convert it,? and load it to the player. Conversion of the 30 minute episode took some 2 hours. I did all this on Zen Vision Media Explorer software that came with the unit. BUT:I HAVE NO WAY OF ADDING DVD MOVIES! I tried using the Media Explorer? - Convert Video - Add: i select Dri've E: / DVD - Spiderman II ...but i get folders with lots of weird files and it doesnt work. Isnt the point of a Video player to have a drag and drop DVD movie feature?HELP.

I'm afraid we cannot allow discussion of ripping commercial DVD on the forum, for legal reasons. I'm sure you will be able to find more information by using search engines or from some other websites.

There's video problems with my Zen Vision:M already (M video cable related) Please help

Some background...
System:Windows XP with Service Pack 2.
Player: Brand new Creative Zen Vision: M with no firmware updates.
My Zen Vision:M has a problem (besides the scratch and fingerprint attracting top surface): It won't play videos on a TV screen when the M Video Cable (also from Creative) is linked to it anymore. It's only been a few hours...
I had the cable already, and got the player today. I let the player charge to /4th of a battery while I was setting up all the software. I ran the software programs just to take a peek, only changing the name of my player (to my name). I used Winamp 5.3 to put a music track on the player to test it. After that, I hooked it up to the VCR in my room through the white and yellow A/V plugs in front. It worked just fine. It to the tv a little large, but I was okay with it.
Later on today, the new AC charger I ordered came in the mail (Player came through UPS, charger through USPS). I looked at my old charger (Creative Zen Touch) and realized it would work with the plug-in part of the sync unit at the bottom. I tested it for a minute and it did. I still took it out and tried the new one. This is where, I think, something happened. I had to press the sides to get the thing in, and it was hard to come out. Everything still fit just right, and nothing seemed to be wrong. I used my old charger as I added more of my music library. Now it was on to videos. I had to convert the first two test vids (they were .wmv), but they played on my player fine. I put a bigger .wmv file onto the player to see if it had to convert it, and it did. It still played on the player. When I go to hook it to the TV with the A/V cord again, there was nothing but a black screen with the occasional diagonal scan line. The sound is still there.
Besides quirks with the navigational system, the player is still great for music and video. Still, I needed no video capability, and one of the things that made the ZVM a buy for me was watching my vids on the big screen. I'd return this for a second try, but I want to know if this is a recurring issue with you guys and if there's something I can do to fix it before a return. Did I mess with a setting? Should I get new firmware? Did I do wrong using my old charger? If any of you have an answer, or need more info on my situation, please let me know.
And BTW, does anyone know of some better software for organizing files on the ZVM? I used Winamp for my Zen Touch and the music on my ZVM, but videos are another ballpark. I can't transfer a video from one folder to another folder (assuming both folders are on the ZVM). Not to mention the music I transferred using Winamp isn't even showing up in Windows Media Player. I think I need a different program altogether.

I have got a new Creative Zen Vision W and getting the same problem....when i attach to the tv then i am able to hear the audio content and the video does not show.Are we missing something ? or is it a problem with the player. Also the software provided with the Zen converts small .vob files to .wmv when ever the size is large it gives an error 'conversion?unsucessful'.Any body facing similar problems please help.

You know its kinda rude to derail XBenzinoFla thread with your own problems, make your own thread next time.
But to the both of you especially XBenzinoFla, try putting your ZVM in rescue mode and run scan disk to see if it hel

Zen Vision:M - help with moving files around once loa

Guys and Gals, i recently bought the Zen Vision:M and need some help. Once i loaded songs or vdos into it i find that i am not able to move these files from one folder to another. I am using the zen vision explorer program that came with it. it allows me to right click then select 'cut' or 'copy' but then when i navigate to where i want to paste it the paste option is greyed out when i right click. anyone have a solution for this? any help would be greatly appreciated.

it sucks... you want a song in one folder like the album into another right? Yeah you have to modify the ID tags to do that.... I took all my songs and changed the album name to ALL for my zvm using snackamp. Look it up it works fine. You can choose the songs you want to a particular album (works for 200 at a time) and choose the album for them all. Thats the only advantage of iPod i'd have to say... the ALL option under songs... so yeah get snackamp, use it, take all the songs off your zen and re-add them and it should be fine.

If you need ANY kind of help with your Zen Vision:M or any other Creative prod

I just wanted to let everyone know there's a great website and forum where you can find really helpfull things related to all Creative products. It really helped me with my Zen Vision:M
There you'll find news, deals, info, help, etc. and the forum I was talking about. You should check it out
www.epizenter.net
It's like a very friendly and helpful creative's products fan site.Message Edited by omarceja_s on 08-8-2006 0:08 PM

As said above you can not move mp3 files between folders, which I also find very annoying, along with not being able to rename files or albums on the player itself. Hopefully Creative makes these minor modifications for the benefit of future purchasers, other than that the player is great.

Problems Please help...zen vision

I have an Creative Zen vision and installed it and the computer detect it but I cant install it because the computer cant find the drivers? and I have sp2 and windows media player 0... HELP!!

I also am having this issue. Where I have installed the software for the M and after doing so I plug it in and get the Driver installation that fails to find drivers. If I try to open the creative explorer or the firmware upgrade released yesterday both say no device attached.

PLEASE HELP!! SOMEONE - ANYONE RE: ZEN VISION M 30GB PR

Has NO one had their Zen Vision M 30 GB or 60GB get stuck in the ON position at the CREATIVE screen and not reset with a paperclip?If ANYONE else has had this happen...PLEASE HELP
!!! HOW DO YOU RESET IT? It won't turn off and the Recovery program won't come up. It just STAYS RIGHT THERE ON THE WORD? "CREATIVE".
IS THERE SOME OTHER WAY TO REBOOT THE SYSTEM BESIDE THE PAPERCLIP TRICK??PLEASE....ANYONE?

Sometimes the LCD just goes bad. It could be that the connection is loose. The output to the TV has nothing to do with the display on the player itself. This video shows how to open the player http://www.youtube.com/thegadgetdr
