(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

PocketDivXEncoder for ZEN 4GB/8GB/16GB/3

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!
jimi

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.

Zen 2GB Battery Issue - Please help!

$? I bought two Creative Zen 2GB as their battery life is up to 30 hours. I have a Microsoft Zune and it gets the 4 hours listed but both of the Zen's only get 0- hours per full charge. I fully charge, then run the recovery tool and run disk clean up, format, new firmware. I then add all mp3's at 28 bitrate, EQ off, bass off and keep the volume on 3. In the setup I the brightness down as far as it will go at 0%, I think you should be able to set it to 0%. But what am I missing to only get 0-2 hour max on these two new units? I recently read about Idle shutdown, but yesterday I charged the Zen 8 hours to be sure, then with all the optimal settings I cut it on at 0pm and let it run througout the night and at 9am it had very little charge left...please help with any ideas/suggestions as I just get links from Creative tech telling me things I am already doing.

Excellent, thanks for the replies and I read about the lock function online but it said for 4GB and up I think, but not 2GB. I thought, even with the screen at the lowest, 0% that it was too much lcd and a battery drainer...thanks!
Yes, I have the 2G ZEN player and it does have the "lock function" (often on the Creative's web site they neglect to mention the 2G) - I "lock it" every time I listen to my audio books. By using this function it "closes" (blackens) ?the LCD screen and saves the battery considerably.
When I first bought this player it was the first time I had an internal battery, all the other ones I had used -AAA battery. I was hesitant about using the type of battery in the ZEN player but I can listen ALL day and ALL night and still have battery life left. Then I recharge the battery in the wee hours of the morning, ready to listen to more books and music that day.
Just some thoughts,

PS Custom Format Plugin - Issue Reading Files 2GB & 4GB

Is this issue fixable within our format plugin code, or is it a photoshop limitation?
I am new to Photoshop & Photoshop Plugins. I have reviewed the sdk photoshop documentation & searched web on this subject.
I am working with a photoshop format plugin written by my predecessor who is no longer here.
The plugin is modeled after the simpleFormat plugin.
The plugin is being used on systems running Photoshop CS6 & CC on 64bit Windows 7 with 8GB or more memory.
The plugin allows a file of our format to be opened, read and written.
ISSUE:
The plugin works fine reading files < 2GB or > 4GB. For files between 2GB and 4GB, the call to allocate memory fails.
In the plugin's PIPL structure:   the FormatMaxSize {32767, 32767} and PluginMaxSize {PlugInMaxSize { 2147483647, 2147483647 }
In the plugin code; the DoReadStart() method opens the file and reads the file header information. This works fine.
Next, in the DoReadContinue() method: SPsBuffer->New(&bufferSize, buffersize) is returning NULL.     see below.
void PluginMain (const int16 selector,
                                                                         FormatRecordPtr formatParamBlock,

Zen 2gb and audio book chapters and bookma

Hello,
Right now I have a Zen Stone which I use mainly to download audio books and which I have outgrown. It was a good, cheap starter mp3, but now I want something better. (The tech upgrade?bug strikes again, I guess.) The main peeeve I have with the Zen Stone is that I cannot bookmark where I stopped in a book's chapter. Books download in sections whcih contain more that one actual chapte, so, when I have to recharge the battery, the Stone restarts at the last section, not where I quit to recharge. Thus, I have to re-listen to old material. Also, since there is no screen, I can't see where and what section/chapter I am anyway.
Will a better model Zen allow me to save and bookmark where I am in a book so that i can restart anywhere without going back over old material? Will I be able to see sections nad chapter headings (section 4, chapter6, e.g.) on the screen.
Any help appreciated. I am fairly new to mp3-land, but not to computers. Thanks

I can tell you that the Zen 2gb is not as great with audio books as it ought to be.
Audible?format audio books have chapter markings that the Zen can see. Overdri've?Media files?do not.
Yes, you can bookmark. However, when you go to the bookmark, the player does not remember that the bookmarked file was part of a playlist. Therefore, it loads only the one file and stops playing when it gets to the end. At that point you have to go back through the main menu to reload your playlist.
The "resume" function would make the bookmark problem less annoying, if it worked properly. The player will remember where you stopped and begin there the next time you turn the player on, unless you wait more than 2 hours. In that case, it starts at the beginning of the track and you have to FF till you find your place (hopefully you remembered to note the timer position before shutting down). This is the method I've settled on, because although I have to FF to my place every morning and evening, at least I don't have to keep reloading playlist.
Interestingly, although you can't bookmark videos on the Zen, you don't need to, because it remembers where you left off playing it no matter how long you wait, and even after synching.

Zen 2GB - a blue light is flicker

Hello,
first of all, please excuse my bad english. Unfortunately there is no german board.
I've bought an Zen 2GB and have watched the following: Sometimes the screen flickers in a blue light and turns off after about one second. Remarkable is, that when it happens the player is not in use, for example the player is laying on the table and is turned off. This flickering effect also happens, when I plug in an earphone. But it doesn't happen with every earphone (only some models, I've tested) and only in about 80 percent of the times, when I plug it in.
Recently I've exchanged the player at my local dealer. But the new one still shows the same effect.
My question now: Has anyone made the same experience with his Zen and is the Zen not ok?
I would be glad for your answers.
Bernd

I also encountered this same behavior when using a different headphone for my ZEN 4GB...sometimes it restarts, sometimes it totally hangs up..leaving only the blue light on... I cannot turn it off... I have to do a reset on the thing which forced me to bring along a hair pin everyday... I think it has something to do with the antenna incorporated in the headphone slot...any other idea what's causing this?Message Edited by daywalkerz on 02-2-200809:4 PM

Zen 2gb and Vongo

Is it possible to use the Zen 2gb and Vongo downloads, in other words are the Vongo downloads too big in file size to be viewed or do I need a larger size player or a SD card to upload them to?
If its not possible to do this then why do they advertise Vongo with these players with smaller flash dri'ves?

Zen Microphoto 4GB backligh

Hi,
I just bought zen microphoto 4gb about one week ago, but I have just noticed, on creative labs home page, that it has also backlight on touchpad, and around panel. But I don't is this only for 8GB version or both?
Well, my Zen Microphoto doesn't have touchpad backlight and around panel backligt.
Only lights are on display, and small one on the hold button.
Is that normal, can I switch them on somehow?!
Thanks for replys

you know its becuase they make these products so fast theseday that EVERYPLAYER comes with atleast2 glitches. they dont even bother to check them before they send them. so basicly it doesnt matter what price u pay. i hate it. mine has the earphone jack its too tight to its a tad bit hard to plug in my earphones. then the play/pause button is like weird.everything else is perfectMessage Edited by kickenchicken on 08-0-2006 0:38 AM

Zen Mozaic EZ300 8GB Speaker not working

I have the Zen Mozaic EZ300 8GB, got it for Christmas, charged it overnight last night through my PC after upgrading the firmware to the latest version.
Went to mess with it this morning and all seems well except... I have no sound at all from the speaker. I set the speaker to on, through the menu while playing a song... no sound. I crank the volume all the way up, still nothing. I unplug the headphones, the speaker icon comes on, play an MP3 or a video... no sound.
So, do I have a bad speaker or is there another setting somewhere I can enabe the speaker ? :/

Re: ZEN MOZAIC FROZEN!! KEY PAD NOT WORKING? Hi!!
Thanks so much for answering!
Well, the player has never worked properly. This problem is since the first time I tried to use the player two days ago!!
Once the player is on, the keypad does just not respond, any of the keys. When I reset it, the player starts up again (the creative logo, the zen logo) and then the main menu displays, once there (where I am supposed to navigate through the menus and submenus) i just cannot do anything because of the keypad not responding.
I already tried this sequence: reset + pressing play/pause at the same time while I turn it on, and nothing happens, I mean, it is everything all over again, no response from the keypad, so i can't even select the option i want from the recovery mode display.
I have already connected the player through the usb cable to my PC and I can perfectly see the content of the player, all the music i previously saved, and even play it in my PC but doing nothing at all with the device!!
does that mean that my new player is just faulty!?!? what a disappointment, I thought what a great present was!
I would appreciate any new ideas! regards!

8GB or 32GB Gen4 IPOD Touch

I want to buy a IPOD touch 4th.gen and can not find info on the diff. in 8GB and 32Gb I plan on using apps.,music ,Pics an Movies is there anything that helps you with how many hours of movies and pics and songs each holds

If you honestly think you're going to put a lot of music and movies on your iPod I would definitely recommend the 32GB.
The standard song is about 3mb
Movie is about 300mb depending on format
And photos are pretty small about 1mb
1000mb = 1GB
I actually regret getting a 16GB iPad because I also have a lot of media to store. Just be safe and get the 32GB.
I asked you how you're doing today sir, "No I don't need any help" isn't a proper response.

Ipod touch 8GB or 32GB

Hi
Was just wondering if someone could give me a rough answer as too approximately how many songs / Apps the Ipod Touch 8GB can hold ? (not sure if i should get 8gb or 32gb)

From the specs for the 2G iPod. Later specs do not specify songs:
8GB, 16GB, or 32GB flash drive2
Holds up to 1,750, 3,500, or 7,000 songs in 128-Kbps AAC format
I expect the number for the 4H iPod will be a little less since the later iOSs take up more storage.

Problems connecting 1 monitor and 1 TV to 2gb DDR3 AMD Radeon 7570 video card.

I recently purchased an Hp h8-1360t computer with a 2gb DDR3 AMD Radeon 7570 video card and an Hp 2711 LED monitor. I am having problems connecting both the monitor (dvi) and a 50" Sony LCD TV (hdmi) with a 50' hdmi cable. When starting the computer, once the initial Win 7 boot up is finished, the monitor screen goes blank, except for the mouse pointer. When I turn on the tv and select the correct input source a normal Win 7 screen with icons appears on the tv. Only the wallpaper picture displays on the monitor and no icons. If play a dvd movie it will only show up on the tv with the sound coming from the speakers attached to the computer.
I would like to retain control of the computer using the monitor. I tried to set the monitor up as the primary display source using the monitor configuration menu,but it won't allow me to save the dvi connection as the primary display source. The documentation that came with the computer and what I was able to find on the Hp site is lacking....to say the least.
Any assistance with this problem will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Tony

First I would disconnect the TV HDMI cable from the computer. That should return the PC screen to normal. May have to reboot to get normal. Then reconnect the TV HDMI and go into the screen setup routine, paying attention to which screen is supposed to display what information.

My Zen 2gb wont even start up anymore

Hello,?When i inserted my Creative Zen 2GB and was planning on removing some music from it..i picked out the music folders and pressed <delete>, so it started deleting, but at some point it didn't go on for 0 minutes so i did?<ctrl> + <alt> + <delete> and i closed down the process manually. Then i pulled out my Creative Zen and it did NOT go to its menu's again it kept saying? <Connected> (with the PC). Then i tried to plug it back in and again and again but it had no result, it kept saying <connected>.After i while i quited trying and was looking at my Zen when i saw the <reset> button on the side. I pressed this with a blunt needle and the sreen went black...and now i cant Boot it up or do anything with it, when i plug it into my PC i DO here a sound that something got connected but my Zen's sreen doesn't light up. So please, does anyone have ANY suggesting on how to solve this problem?Should i get it repaired or...
Please help,?Mark

I Tried now, but it seems my Zen doesn't work anymore, because if i try to turn it on, on the side, the blue light doesn't pop on :S..and there is no-way i can get to the battery because this Zen doesn't contain any screws..so i cant check if that is the problem.

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,
