Update For Zen V Plus Video Conver

Is there an update for Creative Video Coverter for my Zen V Plus? I got way to many problems with this converter. It wont let me choose the quality settings, its always set on "Good Quality" 2. When I convert a 3mb video it comes out to 79mb. Please I need a better Video Converter for my Zen V Plus. Its says the player supported avi, xvid, divx, any other codecs when I bought it online now I find out it only supports some format called DIB. What is that? Can download this codec anywhere?PLEASE FIX THIS COVERTER!!!!!!!!!!

Unfortunatly the site you bought it from had incorrect information on it. That is quite a bit problem with the internet these days.
When purcashing these types of devices it best to reference the manufacturers website to verify specs just because of situations like this. There isn't an updated converter for the Zen V Plus, it only supports uncompressed video content the form of DIB AVI files. While most content can be converted to the 28x96, 5fps DIB Avi file format supported by the device the files will always end up large due to the fact the device can not support comrpessed video.
Many people have asked for a better codec in a future firmware version, but I doubt the little device has the memory and horsepower to handle mpeg video decoding.

Can't Download Any Firmware for Zen V Plus

? I've tried to update my little old Zen V Plus by downloading the latest firmware and applications, but I keep getting error messages. One error says "C:\Windows\system32\regsvr32.exe not found" and the other error has the code of 2472332. I'm running Windows XP Media Edition (2002) and Windows Media Player . My Creative Media Explorer won't let me add new media, and while I know I can do this via the Windows Media Player, I'd actually prefer to use the Creative Explorer. What am I doing wrong here? I've done device manager and updated the drivers, and my Zen V Plus is still detected. My USB is fine. Is there anything else I should do before I uninstall and reinstall all my Creative software? I still have my disc, and upon reinstalling the Media Explorer, the option to add media was greyed out. I'd truly appreciate any suggestions, and thanks in advance!

Just an update on my initial post, if anyone even noticed!
I was able to install new firmware, but not any software like Creative Source. It simply won't open. This goes for the Media Explorer as well. Using my disc, I'm still getting the same error codes. The video converter opened, but it doesn't recognize my player as being plugged in. I was able to roll back to Windows Media Player 0, but my system wouldn't let me install Service Pack 2. So now what? I'd like to be able to convert videos and add music through the Media Explorer instead of Windows Explorer. Once again, any thoughts on this would be helpful, thanks. I'm really at my wits' end.

Zen V Plus videos on m

Does anyone know how or what format to convert videos to get them to play using a mac? The creative site says avi and thats what I did but it didnt play on my player. Also, how can you change the background picture?

The Zen V Plus does not support the playback of compressed video content.
Which means when you convert an Mpeg video for playback on the Zen V Plus, the video is uncompressed in the final file.
Which is why they get so large.
Typically if you convert a 320x240 mpg file down to the 28x96 5fps video format for the Zen V Plus,? the resulting file will still be 8 to 0 times the size of the original due to the lack of video compression being used.

Belt clip for zen stone plus with spea

I've had a Zen Stone Plus with Speaker for a little less than a year now. The speaker makes it wonderful for riding bike trails without using earphones to stay alert to the surroundings. It's worked quite well when used with a (technically unsupported) non-Windows PC. A careless person in a store collided with me yesterday, flinging it to the ground, with no damage to the electronics. It is disappointing to find, however, that there seems to be no replacement clips available for the one she damaged. Does anyone know if the clips sold with the multi skin packs for earlier models, sold elsewhere, might be the same spring clip

Hi,
Yeah..appreciate it very much.
I'll pass this to someone here for their reconsideration.
Cheers.

Firmware update for Zen Xtra, a simple quest

Hello,
I have purchased my zen xtra on July. It works just fine. When i go to "about" in the menu to see the player's version it says .03.02. I don't know if i need to upgrade the firmware because nomad's page for upgrade provides a firmware with same number: Creative NOMAD Zen Xtra firmware update version .03.02
Does it mean i already have the latest firmware version in my player or do i still have to upgrade it's
Thanks!
Al

Alrichi,
If your player already showing the exact same firmware version as with the download then you would already have the same firmware version. You do not need to update again.

[ZEN 8GB]Alternative Video Conver

Hey guys,
Does anyone know a better video converter, i could use to convert my videos into the "ZEN" format?
The problem I'm having with the Creative Video converter is that it runs into stability problems when im trying to batch convert, or when im running other programs (eg, firefox, wmp) while its converting.
Thanks

Right, OK, i tried to use Super but when i tried to convert a .MKV video file, it kept displaying error messages.
So i went and found another alternati've "Iri'verter", Nice and simple, converted my video files with no problems, and the quality is very good.

Firmware Update for Zen Wireless

I just bought a new 6gb Zen Wireless that crashes when trying to fast forward a bookmarked audio book. Tech support has told me that the problem is a known problem (isn't that nice) and will be fixed with the next firmware update. Any idea when the next update is coming. If it's more that two weeks, I'm returning it and buying one that does work.

Alrichi,
If your player already showing the exact same firmware version as with the download then you would already have the same firmware version. You do not need to update again.

MediaSource 5 for Zen V Plus help on time scal

Help!!! I love the MediaSource and I have left to discover its wonderous powers. Im not sure what I did but the Time Scaling doesnt work anymore. I checked the Help and it advised to keep under the Playback tab on the Settings, to keep Digital playback ticked. I havent touched the settings at all, and its as if the time scaling just turned itself off. Can someone help me out Also , are there any other tricks that I can use on MediaSource :mansurprised:

This happened to me. I think it's merely a case of the device freezing - that's why it appears to be in USB mode. The Zen will need resetting, using the small indented reset button under the power-on switch. Then, hopefully, the computer will recognise it again. If it doesn't, try rebooting the computer. Then try Control Panel --> System --> Hardware --> Device Manager --> Windows Portable Devices. The player should be listed there. Try disabling it (not uninstalling) and then enabling it again. Hope this helps

Zen Plus video - absolutely ridiculo

I can not load video on to my new Zen v plus. I get "the video file is not valid or recognized".
I pulled one of the videos that came with the player off, and tried to put it back on to the player and get "the video file is not valid or recognized".
How the he** does that work?
I can't convert video files into a conforming format:
From the 'creative media explorer' I click on 'convert video for Zen V Plus' and I get a windows error right away:? "creative ... has encountered a problem and needs to close"
The debug lists about 85 .dlls but doesn't say which one has the problem.
- I completely un-installed, rebooted, and re-installed all Creative software 3 times.
- I tried the software on 2 different (new-ish) computers.
- I scoured the online, Cd and print help documents and manuals and have found no troubleshooting tips re:? the non-functional software, or using 3rd party software to convert video files to a conforming format.
I installed "super c" video converter and tried a *bleep* thousand different options - xvid, dvix, wmv, avi, a million different combos of bit rate, fps etc.
I changed the FourCC thingy properly.
This is pathetic, Creative developers, QA and tech support should be ashamed.

I have had success with the Zen Vision W using the Zencast Suite. However recently there have been reports of video conversion not working with Quicktime related files (mov and m4v) after an update from Apple to 7.2. Checkout this thread:

Videos for zen v p

where do i get videos and how do i put them on the zen v plus? thanks

I have had my zen v plus (2gb) for a little while and for months on end i would try and figure out how to get video on it. Ultimately i wanted to get youtube on there and couldnt figure out how until the other day.
I was absolutely amazed and soooo happy because zen v plus doesnt support the .flv format. FOLLOW MY FOLLOWING STEPS IN ORDER TO PUT YOUTUBE VIDEOS ON YOU ZEN V PLUS WITHOUT DOWNLOADING ANYTHYTHING!!!
. Find you video on youtube...or any other video site you desire.
2. Copy that URL (of the video)
3. Go to convertdirect.com (I strongly reccomend Internet Explorer)
4. Paste the URL into that box and make sure the box below says .AVI then hit "CONVERT"
5. Wait a few minutes for the video to convert itself (you may have get kicked off if the server is too busy, but just try again)
6. When it is Completely done loading, a link will pop up that you should click to download that video.
7. Save the video in "My Videos" folder using a short name (preferably without numbers)
~~~~Now you have your video downloaded...here comes the trickier part
You will need the following windows up on you computer
. The Zen V series Media Explorer window
2. The Zen V series video converter (found in #)
3. Your "My Videos" folder that contains the downloaded video
4. This window is obtained by clicking on the Zen V Series Media Explorer button...then click "Browse Media"...then click on the video section (that has the icon of a roll of film)
~~~~Now that you have all of the windows open you need to...
. Drag your downloaded video into the Zen V Plus video Converter...just click and drag
2. Convert that video however you wish
***Notice that for whatever reason the video converter can CONVERT the video well to fit the Zen...but it CANT TRANSFER the video to your Zen video player
3. If you have your "my Videos" file in site at the time (after converting your already converted-on-the-internet video another video will pop up in you file. It is the same exact video as before but now it has a [] (or some other number) behind it. THAT is the video you want.
4. Have both THAT file window with the video, "My Videos", (that was converted 2x)and another window (#4 on the window list above) out and viewable for another drag and drop
5. For this step, drag and drop the new video (that popped up after converting using the Zen converter---has a [] after the original name)and drag this to the window (#4 on the window list above) that contains the videos already on you zen --
****If you have no videos on your Zen, it should say "Drag and Drop Files Here"
After that file is dragged into the Video section of you Zen...it will take a second to load and you DONE!!!!!
I felt like a genious (although i'm not) After discovering this and realy want to share it in as much detale as possible so i can help other people that were depressed like me when they couldnt get youtube on their Zen V Plus.
If there is a problem or comment you would like to make. my email adress is [email protected]
I hope this was a help!

HELP! Brand New Zen Stone Plus WON'T TURN

Just received the product today, downloaded and installed the latest software. Charged the unit for 3 hours and successfully loaded mp3 onto the player. Following every direction and clicked the "safely remove hardware" option. All ready to go... press the on/off button... NOTHING HAPPENED! No screen! LED light did not turn on! NOTHING!
So went to Creative site and follow the "fix it myself" direction, reset the player did not work, formatting the player did not work. There is no firmware download available for Zen Stone Plus (only Zen Stone), so I could not try that option.
I am starting to think there is a defect in my player. Do you guys have any suggestion on what I should do? Does any know how to contact Creative's US customer support (email address and/or phone numbers)? And please don't refer me to the 3 dollars to 30 mins support because I already spent money expecting to buy a non-defecti've product.
I tried looking for the customer support number before posting this message. I did not know Creative have such a poor customer support system! I clicked the "email support" on its site and it directed me to some "fix the player yourself" page (I also tried those solution but did not help), and does not lead to any customer support number! HORRIBLE!Message Edited by misellu on 07-3-20070:6 PM
****** UPDATE*********
Thanks for everyone's suggestions.
Since I didn't want to spend more time to fuzz over a defecti've product, I returned my Zen Stone Plus to Amazon (I did this because I know sending it to Creative would take much longer time before I receive a replacement). Amazon sent me a new one in about 3 days at no charge (and free return shipping). The new one works fine now and does everything its suppose to do (so far...).
Just like I wrote it when I posted the problem, I tried different time intervals and it still wouldn't turn on. I couldn't have lock the unit because it requires power on to turn on the lock (which I was unable to turn on the unit).
The lesson I learn here is think about the product's customer support and where I am buying from before purchasing anything online. I would definitely think twice before buying Creative's products again.
Message Edited by misellu on 08-05-200702:2 PM

mine wont turn on after almost two weeks since i bought my player. i went to the store where i bought my player, asked them to replace my player right there and then (because i firmly believed that it was a factory defect) but to no avail. so i let the creative support checked my player and voila! my player was infected with WORM VIRUS!!! they fixed my player, deleted the virus and was all set after 2weeks. i scanned my computer, found A LOT OF WORM VIRUS, deleted them before connecting my player to this computer. after transferring files to my player & disconnecting it from this pc, it wont turn on again!! and i havent used it for at least 0mins since i got it back! darn!! i'm gonna return it again to the storea and ask for creative support's help again. does anybody know if there is an anti-virus available for zen products?
