hey guys i just wanna a definite yes or no from anyone who has converted tv shows or movies using pocketdivxencoder and if they worked directly on their zen, without having to transcode.
thanks in advance!

What sort of retarded response is that? With libnjp you can connect to the Creative Zen in Linux. Instead of spouting nonsense, why don't you try helping the guy?
Frantzse, your udev rules are probably misconfigured. Try adding the udev rules as per this page : http://amarok.kde.org/wiki/Media_Device:NJB It should let you connect to you Zen.

Suggestion for renaming new Zen 4GB/8GB/1

Just bought myself a new "Zen 4GB". I think Creative should rename it to "Zen Paperclip". Seem i
need to reboot it several times (7 times in 2 days). Talk about product quality issues. What
a waste of $30.
No mention on the box either that it doesn't support UMS - how many media players out there don't
act as a mass storage devices these days. Even my old 3rd gen ipod can be mounted on my Linux box
as a disk and i can copy files onto it and play. Maybe even "Zen Microsoft" as a name ?
My wife's calling it the "Zen paperweight" - it's too light for even that job...
Off to the Apple store.. The new iTouch looks nice. Well it doesn't have a SD slot, but that doesn't
work too well according to this list, and no radio, but i can browse the web, and have a lot more apps
soon, maybe even internet radio.
Bad Creative, bad..

I was not comparing a 4GB model with a 8GB iTouch which is their base model iTouch. So there's only $00 in it if you compared 8gb with 8gb. Plus you are looking at much better features and stability on the apple (or so my friend tells me). Half the so called features on the Zen don't work very well, and i'm not the only one. Look at this very forum.
>Who told you that you can't use the ZEN as an USB Storage Device? Mine works fine this way.
I told you. I have one, and it doesn't support UMS. You cannot plug it into a Mac or Linux and see the device. You are limited to MTP support only ! If you give your player to someone else who doesn't have the MTP driver installed in windows it will NOT work as a plain storage device. Try it before you respond.
And no i don't disconnect it while it's docked when it decides to crash/hang. Even if i did i'd consider it a bug in the firmware nevertheless.Message Edited by terraforma on 0-4-20072:46 PM

(ZEN 2GB/4GB/8GB/16GB/32GB) video form

After two frustrating days with e-mail to support, may I recommend the following to those who wish add video to there zen without having to go through the conversion program. (If you open the video converter program and select a file to convert, in the next step of selecting the output quality you can see the file type and parameters the converter outputs to the zen.) I have been using wmv extensions using the following: video settings-- encoder wmv3, framerate 30, size 320x240, bit rate 768 audio settings-- encoder wma7 sample 4400 hz, two channel stereo, bitrate 64 However, if you experience popping or static in your audio like I have, you might want to reduce your settings to eliminate this problem video settings-- encoder wmv3, framerate 30, size 320x240, BIT RATE 384KPSaudio settings-- encoder wma7,SAMPLE 22050 HZ, two channel stero, bit rate 64 I don't know if the audio distortion is due to the limitations of my computers cpu, the codecs, or the zen. I have pentium 4 (no mmx) processor at .8 ghz and meg memory. By using these settings for the output of third party software your video will simply transfer without having to recode for hours. If you have found better working settings, let me know. jecal Message Edited by jecal on 0-30-20082:33 AM

Question about 3-in-1 Skin pack for Creative Zen 4GB/8GB/1

Do the skins included in this pack protect the screen as well? or just the player and the controls?

No, they do not protect the screen, you will need to pair it with the screen protector for it. The Skin just protects everything apart from the screen.

Zen 4GB Batt

Are Zen? 4gb batteries?not replaceble?
What will happen when my battery's life time ends?
Can i be able to replace it myself?
Which battery?should i buy for Zen 4gb?

Don't expect your battery to be replaced, but rather your entire player being replaced with a refurbished player. Apple is no different, they will replace the entire player if the battery fails on an iPod product. While it is unlikely that will fail during the life of the player if the batteries are of reasonable quality (big "if" in these days of Chinese manufacturing) they should last at least 3 years with proper care.
As Zenandy mentioned, LIon and LIpo batteries start?to degrade immediately after they are manufactured, regardless of whether they are used or not. That is just the nature of the battery chemistry and not related to the quality (or lack thereof) in the manufacturing process. If you're interested in some fairly extensi've information about batteries and their care, take a look at http://www.batteryuni'versity.com/. The information is very good, relati'vely non-commercial, and easy to read for the layman.

I have a Apple MacBook Pro "Core i7" 2.8 13" Late 2011. i want to upgrade its RAM from 4GB to 16GB. But OWC sells two kinds of RAM, the DDR3 and the DDR3L.What is the different and which one would work better for my mac. Thanks!!!

I don't see any DDR3L on the page for the RAM that would fit your model -> http://eshop.macsales.com/shop/memory/Apple_MacBook_MacBook_Pro/Upgrade/DDR3_133 3MHz_SDRAM.
But the answer is that it doesn't really matter - just make certain to get 1333MHz.
Good luck,

Creative Zen 4GB backlight/screen flic

Quite frequently the screen and or backlight of my Zen 4GB will flicker while either lowering brightness automatically or if i press a button. I was wondering if this is very common, because my freind's Zen 8GB doesn't do this at all. If it is really common i won't bother returning it, but if it isn't common i'd say its almost worth me returning it. By the way, i have tried every firmware from .0 and up, nothing helped. Someone please offer advice/help, if possible, as this is particularly annoying.

I had this problem (if it can be classified a problem) on my ZEN 8GB with .3.0e and a couple of firmwares back, but it never really bothered me as it only ocassionally started to flicker when I pressed a button (volume controls in particular, for some reason). With .20.02e I have, however, not come across this anymore. Right now, with this firmware,?my player is nearly flawless (just rare blank screens subsequent to unlocking). And yes, it is common with this, but no, it's not worth returning it for this sake, as it has been concluded here before that the flickering-matter has got to do with firmware.Message Edited by de_zwaluw on 0-26-200802:49 AM

Zen 4GB - ID3 tags on songs on memory card showing up as chinese/gibber

Any of the music on my Zen 4gb flash player itself can show the ID tags without any problem.
But, if I put that same music on my SD card and put it into my Zen player and play the music, it shows up as a combination of chinese characters and gibberish.
I've tried formatting the card into different file systems and nothing seems to work. The file names of the songs show up correctly, it's just that the ID3 tags are somehow corrupted.
Any ideas?
EDIT - For some reason, random songs stored on the SD card ARE showing their correct ID3 tags. I've compared one file to the next and I can see no rhyme or reason.

I have the same problem with files on the card.
Player:Creative ZEN, Version .2.0e, RAM 8GB
Card: SanDisk UltraII SDHC 5MB/s 4GB
So, if anybody has an idea how to solve this, I also would appreciate this.

Zen 4GB USB Disconnection Prob

Hi all, Any help you guys could provide would be very much appreciated, because I'm at a complete loss here. Basically, I just purchased a Zen 6GB as an upgrade from my Zen 4GB; I gave the 4GB to my wife for her to use. I've never had a single problem with the 4GB until I installed it on my wife's computer, but they're abundant now. (Core 2 Duo 2.66 GHZ running Windows Vista Home Premium 32bit) Her computer consistently disconnects and reconnects the player whenever it's plugged in. It does this whether I'm trying to access the internal memory or her 8GB SDHC card through the player. If we're using the Zen Media Explorer, it will kick us out of it completely. Once it reconnects, we can restart the Media Explorer and start using it again. It varies how often it does this, but it usually happens every couple of minutes, making transferring large chunks of data to the player impossible. It has the latest firmware installed, and I have uninstalled and reinstalled the player's device drivers on her computer. I have also uninstalled the chipset drivers for her motherboard (Gigabyte Intel P35 motherboard) and reinstalled them with the newest drivers from Intel. Here's where it gets weird though. My new 6GB Zen does not have the same problem on her computer. I plug it in either to access the Zen's internal memory or to access my 8GB SD card, and it works without a hitch. It hasn't done what the 4GB player has been doing once. In turn, her 4GB player works perfect on my computer and our laptop. It's hooked up to my computer as we speak and has not disconnected in over an hour. Just to give you more background in what I've done to try and fix this... I've cleaned up the Zen through its recovery mode. I've hard reset it several times... I've reloaded the newest firmware. I've reinstalled all drivers multiple times on her computer as I've mentioned above. Nothing has helped, and it makes it impossible to use the player on her computer. Please help, this is incredibly frustrating!

Hear, hear: "Creative, can we get a firmware update please?"
I have a Zen 2Gb which has the same problem because I'm using Vista Home Premium. I tested my Zen player and Media Explorer on someone else's Vista Basic environment, and there was no problem.
The only work-around I've come up with for myself is to turn off AutoPlay in Vista for my Zen player. Then when it's connected, I manually open Media Explorer. I still get continual "bleeps" that something new's just connected to my computer, but I don't have to deal with 50 CMP windows opening one after the other!:angry: There's still the problem where CMP goes into disconnect mode for an instant as the new pseudo-connection takes place. I hadn't realized that this behaviour stops after an hour - thanks for that. I'll give it a go.
It's been suggested to me that I use WMP instead or even iTunes, but they don't have the editing features that Creative Media Explorer has (kudos for that anyhow). I use my player for podcasts (I also love the bookmarking feature),? as well as music, and when I've downloaded a few of them I drag them to my "Podcast" playlist on the player via Media Explorer. The alternati've is just to drag them to the player, if I don't use CME, and then I have to shuffle them around which is a nuisance once you start manipulating things on the player.

Creative ZEN 4gb compatible with Creative MediaSource

Hi,
I was just wondering if I can use my new Creative Zen 4gb with Creative MediaSource. I really like MediaSource and I would prefer to use it the only problems is when ever I connect it its keep locking up and crashing especially when I go to creative playlists. I used to use mediasource for my Zen Micro. Any suggestion? or does creative no longer support MediaSource with there new players?Thanks!

Strife04 asked the following:"Hi, does anyone know which Creative MediaSource Player/ Organizer is compatible with the new 4gb ZEN and if there is one, where it can be downloaded? thanks in advance.":?My reply:Which 4gb Zen?I have the Zen V Plus 4 gig and MediaSource Player/Orginizer running on a?Windows XP SP2enabled Dell.
This works fine for me.

Creative Zen Microphoto 8GB hangs

Hello,
I have seen a lot of posts on the same subject here, but have not seen any resolution yet.
I am sure the story sounds familiar... hangs at "Creative" logo, I go into recovery mode, and run scan disk or format etc... They don't work. I have even left the player on "formatting" overnight until the battery drains and it never finishes, same goes for "Scanning".
I am on my 4th player now and am having the same issue again. This time the player is now out of warranty so I can't return it, and I am not paying money out of my own pocket to get this thing fixed. Please don't tell me this product is defecti've... I don't buy that excuse. And it isn't a corrupt file, because a reformat would fix that.
Once it hangs, my computer won't recognize it, so I can't even try to update the firmware or anything.
Any new updates or information on this issue? It is obviously a well documented problem...just google "Creative zen freezes" and see how any hits you get!
I am pretty disappointed with this player. I should have followed my gut instinct in the first place, and just bought an iPod. I spent a lot of money on this paper weight. Any help,advice,prayers,or donation$ (for a new iPod) would ge greatly appreciated!

Right you will need to download the latest firmware from this site.
Here is a hyperlink to where you can download the firmware:
http://uk.europe.creative.com/suppor...lect=4&x=9&y=2
You might have to put some details in.
Once you have downloaded the latest firmware just start the program up.
Plug in your Zen into the PC and then press the "Reload Firmware" button on your Zen.
You should see your computer screen pick it up.
Then you click on your PC to install firmware.
That should be it.
I hope this hel
ps.
Got any questions you have just post on this space.
I do apologise if this does not make much sence my grammer is not that brilliant.

Creative Zen 4GB bad memory sector

"Creative Zen 4GB bad memory sectork After a few months benI'venoticing that trying to load more media into my Zen gives errors like "Not enough space on disk" or "An unknown erroroccurred". This happened when I load files, it gets to around the 2.GB mark, and then files don'ttransferto it. I've tried formatting via the Zen onboard formatter, formatting it though the computer, uploading files though the onboard SD importer and though the computer. Ibelievethat a sector of my flash memory has died. I want to try and do a zero-out of the data, much like on a regular hard dri've, in witch this feels like the only option. But I don't know a way because of the fun limitations of<span class="Apple-style-span">MTP. And I'vebengoogling for months on how to fix this, but nothingusefulhas been dug up. Is there a way to fix the broken sector I have Macs, most WindowsMachinesand Linuxmachines, so I have no platform limitations. I would like for it to be as easy as a full formatinsteadof the quick-formats it seems to perform every time I try a conventional format.
Thanks, Zack

If all else failed (format and clean up), you may need to call tech support and send in the device for repair. The cost however is quite expensi've for out of warranty repair/replacement. :smileyindifferent:

Creative zen 4gb won't turn on manually and acting stra

My Creative zen 4gb can only be turned on when I connect it first to the computer, and after that, I can turn it on without the use of a computer. But if I don't use for a few hours, it won't turn on again, and I have to connect it to the computer again ( I can turn it on again, if I had just turned it off though). Even if battery is full, I get the same problem. ?I've also used the recovery tool to update the firmware, nothing's changed.
I've also done a clean up and reboot of the player. I still have the same problem. I've also noticed now, after doing all these things that when I play music, after a few songs, maybe 30-40 minutes after, it turns off by itself, and if I get to turn it on, it'sdoes a rebuilding of the files. ?Any idea how I can fix this? I've only had this player for a month or two only. I haven't done a format though... Thanks.

hello, sorry, i dont think i made myself clear. I meant by pulling on the on button for a split second will either make my device flash a blank white screen, or the side of device will display blue( like it will if the device was on) ?and the sound will fuzz for a sec, but neither of these will result in the device starting up. i just want the wonder if that is normal and will that damage the device.
ps.
i already know The correct way to start up my device is to pull down on the button for 2+ secs.
