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!

  • Converting video files for zen

    }Hello,
    I recently sold my old desktop and purchased a laptop. I need to obtain software that will convert my video files to suitable files for my creative zen. I will be putting them on the external memory card thats in my zen, so what program can I use to convert the video files on my laptop first before putting onto the memory card?
    Thanks!

    "Re: Converting video files for zen?Use the Creative Video Converter. ?You can download it from the Creative Support website. ?If you have the Creative Zen (i.e., the credit card sized one that was released after the Zen Vision series and before the Zen MX), then use this link:

  • Nice Pictures & Videos for my ZEN V Pl

    Hello everybody,
    can somebody tell me where i can get nice pictures & videos for my zen v plus?
    Big Thanks!

    What version of Windows have you got?
    If Vista, it should just work.
    If XP, you need to make sure the SP2 patch has been installed:
    http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/sp2/default.mspx
    Then install Windows Media Player :
    http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/player//default.aspx
    That should make sure the MTP driver is installed.
    You should be able to access your player in Windows Explorer under 'My Computer', or in Windows Media Player (but be careful of synchronisation - it can synchronise you full player to your empty My Music directory...)
    You don't need to install the Creative software, but it should work if you do.

  • Videos for Visio

    Hey guys..i was thinking of putting some videos on my vision M. Is there any specific site that you find to be the best place to get them or do you just search around? Just wondering. Thanks.

    There should be a way to fix it.
    Check the AV connector to the Vision M end has 3 parts on the jack.
    is for video
    for left audio
    is for right audio.
    Now.... In most of these conectors, the video is on one of those parts, but for the Zen, it's on a different part. You could buy the official cable, or what you could do is just look at the End which connects to the TV.
    You have the 3 seperate phono jacks going into a Scart convertor?
    If so, you'll most likely have put the Yellow one in the yellow connector in the scart convertor. Well, that one is the video.
    Try swapping the positions over. e.g. put the yellow phono jack into the red connector.
    Check it out and see.
    If that's not it, check to see that the Video you have is not 60Hz NTSC format running on a PAL 50Hz tv, or something. I think you can change the settings on the player.

  • Downloaidng videos to Zen moz

    i read all the preievious messages but i still cain,t get my Zen Mozaic to play msic video that i tried to dowlnload. I would go to youtube and get the url of the video that i wanted and the go to zamzar to convert a flv. filt to avi.,wmv, and mp4 and the device doesn,t work with any of them when i sync it it always says error on the device even though i am using the correct converter please help me this is important to me
    Thanks

    Re: Error Message of no codec when trying to load videos to Zen X-Fi" If it doesn't come out and say what codec it lacks, then your best bet is to load it into a media player that can handle playback (e.g. WMP) and then use that application to get information about the file. The file properties should include the info about which audio and video codecs are involved. I find Media Player Classic to be handy for grabbing this info. It tends to reveal the details in cases where other media players do not (i.e. it will show you what it knows regardless of whether metadata tags exist).
    Is this error coming out of Creative's video converter application itself?

  • What happened to STARBUY for Zen Vision M 60 GB scheduled for today Dec 2 @10

    Hey everyone,
    I participated in Nov's starbuy, didnt manage to get anything and after it, I checked back a couple of days later and saw that Dec starbuy was scheduled for today 2 Dec at 0pm for Zen Vision M (Black) 60GB. But just logged onto Creative Online Store and didnt see the link for Starbuy. Anyone know what happened to it's? Does this mean no more starbuy from now on?

    I also was eagerly watching for the starbuy that you have referred to on Dec 2 at 0pm. I must say I'm disappointed with what Creative has done. Sure, they have every "right" to withdraw their offers but they did not bother to inform the public about it. I personally checked the website patiently from 9pm to 030pm thinking that maybe they were getting ready to upload the website with the starbuy. But NO the stupid link kept going back to the creative homepage. And they sneakily removed all the advertisements to the starbuy.
    What p**ses me off even more is that if you check today, they have sneakily changed it to some "SoundWorks 500DAB" which is a new item but nobody's ever heard of before or is probably interested, compared to the ZVM 60GB. It's quite big (it's not a mobile player, .92kg, looks more like a mini-compo) and only plays "Digital Audio Broadcast" (what's that?) and FM Stereo. Hello Creative? What era is this? Who wants to buy this only to leave it at home to listen to the radio or DAB? It's not mobile, it can't play MP3s or video or photo. Or even CDs.
    Check it out at sg.store.creative.com/starbuy
    Why they decided to pull the ZVM beats me. I have no idea. And why Creative has started selling what looks like basically an expensi've radio (ie, they are going back in time) beats me even more. As echoed by many Internet reviewers, compared to Apple Ipod, Creative's MP3 players are pretty good and they should focus their attention on that, try to make them even smaller and longer battery life, more functions, more codecs, better screens, BUT what we see is Creative di'versifying and designing/manufacturing so much new products that they may not have a market for.
    EDIT: Ok I just checked, about DAB: from Wikipedia
    Digital Audio Broadcasting or DAB is a technology for broadcasting audio programming in digital form that was designed in the late 980s but which is now being introduced in many countries. The original objecti'ves of converting to digital systems were to enable higher fidelity, more stations, less inteference, mobile services and additional information such as text, although in practice the vast majority of radio stations on DAB sound worse than on FM.
    In Singapore, MediaCorp's SmartRadio was launched on 9 November 999. Using the Eureka 47 DAB system, SmartRadio provides six digital-only stations and eight simulcast FM services, along with images and text to supplement the audio. Singapore was the first country to reach full DAB coverage.
    My response: I still think that Creative should work on their mp3 players. They could try introducing this DAB technology into their MP3 players, maybe be the first in the world to do it. Sooner or later another company's gonna do it.Message Edited by fourseven on 2-04-200602:30 AM

  • I've been reading the comments re FCPX on MacBook Pro and now I'm scared. I'm taking a class now and thinking about buying to do videos for nonprofits. Won't be fancy stuff, but now wonder if it's a good choice. Also, heard Apple will drop support. Help?

    I've been reading the comments re FCPX on MacBook Pro and now I'm scared. I'm taking a class in FCPX and thinking about buying to do videos for nonprofits. Won't be fancy stuff, but now wonder if it's a good choice. Also, a classmate who was in CA last weekend said he heard that Apple will drop support of FCPX. Any truth? Advice?. I'm on 10.7.4 with 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, 4 GB 1067 MHz. Thanks.

    While it is against the TOU of these boards to speculate on future products/updates what Thomas said is right: FCPX is quite a new product and it doesn't make any sense to drop it now.
    The only thing that MIGHT get dropped at a certain point is support for older hardware/OS as FCP X progresses.

  • Making an explanatory video for users of Azure

    I went to MSDN to post a question to a forum on Azure, but when I click 'ask a question' it takes me here to "machine learning" instead of to "features", "pricing" etc..  
    Anyway, the question is this.  I had a trial version of Azure, and I put up maybe 800 meg of videos and I also used Azure media services to get URLS to them that I could view in a webpage.
    I looked at my costs (my bill), and it looked like I was only getting charged about a dollar a month.
    I couldn't believe this, and since I also did not know how to terminate my account, or even delete the storage that I was using up, I just stopped paying.  
    Now, I want my website users to get their own storage from Microsoft, and I want to give them an explanatory video that shows them how to use Azure media services so that they can store their own videos, and also post the URL to my website, where they can
    watch those videos with some features added by my website.
    But I need to be sure I understand the billing, before I create this tutorial video for them.  
    If they put up perhaps 40 videos of 100 meg each (4000 meg is about 4 Gigabytes) and use the media services etc.  Are they really only going to be charged a few dollars a month?
    Thanks,

    Hi Gidmaestro,
    A Media Service account is tightly coupled with one (or more) storage accounts. If you already have a storage account, you may choose to assign it to your new Media Service account. Please refer to
    http://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/pricing/details/storage/ for the azure storage billing details.

    You will need an external drive that is formatted as MAC OS EXTENDED (journaled).
    Move the Project, Events, and any photos and music to the external drive by following the instructions in this post.

    Be sure to use CONSOLIDATE MEDIA to get the photos and music. Then plug this drive into your computer and you will be able to edit.

  • Is there a way to "center" video for DVD distribution?

    This may be a long story so hear me out...
    For the past year or so, after every great sports win by my alma mater Michigan State University I make a highlight video for web distribution. My workflow for doing so goes like this:
    1. Record straight to DVD from Tivo or live TV using Panasonic ES10 recorder
    2. Extract clips using Cinematize (uncompressed full quality setting, automatic adjustment 640x480)
    3. Import clips into Final Cut Pro and edit
    4. Export full quality uncompressed Quicktime
    5. Export H.264 for web viewing
    Well this work has found the attention of someone in the East Lansing (where MSU is) city council. They would like me to throw together a short little video to be played at bars in East Lansing after the MSU mens basketball tournament games.
    I have done a few tests simply taking the uncompressed Final Cut exports and making a DVD in iDVD out of them. The results, while OK, aren't the best. I'm thinking there isn't much I can do there because I'm not working with the best source material (going through a number of compressions - Tivo, DVD recorder, iDVD, etc).
    But one thing I did notice though is my fancy iDVD created menu looked pretty slick with the video scaled down. The video was crisp and clear.
    Is there a way to scale my video down so that it doesn't play full screen? Almost doing a 4-sided letterbox. I'm envisioning the video scaled down, centered on the TV.

    Yes, I think I understand what you want to do...
    You can scale the video down or up to pretty much any size you would want to use;
    When your video is in the timeline, double click it, and it will open in one of the video preview windows (I belive its called the "viewer" window), for me on my dual screen, its the one on the left;
    A few tabs will appear at the top of the the Viewer window, Video, Filters and Motion; Click on the motion Tab...
    When there the video will disappear a time line where keyframes live will appear, since you have not used key frames in this clip for motion, there will not be any there;
    You will see to the left of this a few pull downs, Basic Motion, Crop, Distort, Opacity, Drop Shadow and Time Remap;
    When you have the basic Motion twisty selected, you will see, Scale, Rotation, Center and Anchor Point;
    The one your interested in for what I belive you wan to do is Scale. You can click in the box that defaults to 100 (meaning 100 percent) and change this to anything you want.
    By changing it this once it will make the entire clip play at that new scale. You can get creative and keyframe it over time using the little diamond shape button with the right and left arrow on each side. You can add a key frame at any point int he time line; and it will scale (in this case) to each setting you have set a key for. It interpolates the scale at each point in the time line when you set different scales etc... you can fiddle with this and get some good ideas for other projects if you want;
    For what I belive you asked for, no key frame is required as you want it to start and finish att he same reduced scale.
    I trust this helps you out, and hopefully I read your question correctly;
    p.s. if you leave the Center at 0, and 0 it will be centred, but its important to note you can use that to chance the position of the video in the video frame, again not needed for your request - but handy to know....

  • Why haven't I been able to watch YouTube videos for months? :(

    I'm hoping someone might be able to shed some light on this issue I've been having...
    I have an older MacBook Pro (bought July 2007) running OS 10.4.11, that hasn't been able to access YouTube or YouTube videos for the past several months. When trying to access the website on Firefox or Safari, the page takes forever to load and I get the "Connection has timed out" error. I've tried loading it on several different wireless connections, none of which should have any firewalls/proxies set. Embedded YouTube videos don't show up (there's just a blank space where they should be), and embedded HD YouTube videos will show the first frame but will not load or play.
    I've never had any problems with YouTube before, but didn't turn my computer on between Feb and May of this year (I was traveling). I figured I must have missed some important update. But I'm currently running the most recent versions of Firefox (3.6.9) and Safari (4.0.3), Adobe Flash (10.1), Quicktime (7.6.4), and Java (v9 for OS 10.4). Updating these hasn't helped any. I also reinstalled Firefox entirely.
    I don't have any issues loading any other websites, or playing/viewing other kinds of embedded videos, or any other videos. As far as I can tell, my internet browsers don't have any firewalls or blocks set up. Other laptops and desktops on the same wireless connections I've tried can access the site and embedded videos without issue.
    Does anyone have any ideas as to what else I could try? I'd love to be able to get back on YouTube...
    thank you in advance!
    -Ann

    I understand that you can not access youtube website at all .. this can be due to a variety of reasons ..
    what you describe looks like a dns resolution error .. try this
    go to terminal and type
    sudo nano /Private/Etc/Hosts
    you will be prompted for your password ..enter it and note that your input won't be visible ..
    if all goes well you will see something like this :
    # Host Database
    # localhost is used to configure the loopback interface
    # when the system is booting. Do not change this entry.
    127.0.0.1 localhost
    255.255.255.255 broadcasthost
    ::1 localhost
    if you see that try adding these lines EXACTLY AS YOU SEE underneath that page
    74.125.43.103 youtube.com
    74.125.43.103 www.youtube.com
    and press control and X together on your keyboard
    now back at the terminal type exit and hit return
    reboot your machine ..
    see how it goes
    hope this helps
