Zen Audible and SDHC card prob

Hello:
I am having a problem using my Zen 6 GB player and Audible / SDHC cards. I know that Audible can only play content from the player's main memory, and that is where I have my books. The player locks up whenever I switch from Audible, and try to access any media files on an SDHC card. I have tried (2) different 8GB SDHC crads (PNY, and Sandisk).
I have tried different firmware versions, and different Audible compression settings, in fact it took me a while to identify Audible as the culprit, but I am sure it is, because I can access the media files on the SDHC?otherwise.
?Any ideas?
Thanks

well, here's the list of supported cards (but it's not limited to only these models!!):

i don't think smaller/bigger speed should make any problems, the problem is that some models may not work. you better test your card in the player before buying it.

Suitable SD and SDHC Cards for Capturing Video for FCP?

Not exactly an FCP topic but this is the only forum that comes anywhere near!
Until a few weeks ago I assumed that all SD and SDHC cards were equal with regard to capture speeds.
Now I know better and have discovered that for trouble-free (consumer) video capture you need a Class 6 card to be safe.
I note that SD cards (by definition 2GB or less) have no speed classes.
I have trawled the internet, including the SD Card website but can't find any mention of the reason for this.
Is this because small SD cards are very fast or simply because nobody would conceivably use them for video?
I am asking because I have a small stock of 2GB cards which, if possible, I would like to use for short videos in the near future.

I've not used FCE so can't add anything there. Perhaps Tom W will drop by. He would know.
Regarding the VHS footage. You really ought to think about using a Time Based Corrector (TBC) between your VTR and the digitizing device. They will help deal with mis-timed frames (the 'tearing' effect) as well as chroma shift.
The Canopus ADVC-300 is the least expensive one I've seen and as an added benefit, it does the Analog/Digital conversion for you as well.
Good luck.

Canon HF100 and SDHC Card

Does anyone use this camera in the FXP mode. If so, what SDHC card are you using successfully? I can not find one that will write at 17mb/sec. I continuously get buffer overwrite errors.

PNY 16GB class 6 card solved all my problems. Good quality card with write speed of 20Mb/sec. FCE and iMovie recognize it everytime. Here is the link to the card:

ZEN MICROPHOTO AND CF CARD/ HARD DR

Does anyone know if I can put a compact flash card in my zen microphoto instead of my hard drive? Or where I can get a replacement hard dri've for it, I have dropped it, and now sometimes it randomly skips to a different song.

It can be done as long as you're confident working with electroinc devices.
Here are a couple of threads to read.
Best of luck!

X-FI Fatality and Video card prob

I bought a X-FI Fatality sound card and when I put it on the PC then when I play World Of Warcraft the frames of the game going down to 3 when the normal is 40 or 50 fps and my friend has 80 fps(I have the N-Vidia G-Force 6600 GT 28 Mb DDR-3). I formatted my Pc and reinstall win xp pro sp2 but I have the same problem.Now am I going to buy a new card or what?I bought this video card before 3 months. If I know that it will happen this I should buy a better video card with more memory. Is there anyone that have the same problem?

interestingly too if I switch the input on my amp to 'Optical' so that the feed coming from the sound card is using the Optical cable...when I run the THX Speaker test the rear speakers come out of the front speakers. Switching the amp back to 6 channel audio and using the normal 3 coloured cables (excuse my ignorance - no idea what these are called) there is no sound at all when pressing on either of the rear speakers. If that helps anymore. Thanks.Message Edited by chump on 04-9-200708:56 PM

Zen Micro and MediaSource sync prob

Lately my computer was re-imaged due to a virus and I did not have the chance to back up my music. I installed the software using the installation cd which came with the Micro. I tried to syncronise my computer with the player so that I would have all of my songs back on my computer as well as my zen. I used the audiosync tool in mediasource organizer and the first 5 songs in alphabetical order were transferred into "My Music" successfully with sizes ranging between 3 and 5 megabytes, but the following 700 or so transferred into the folder merely as icons with size: 0 bytes.
Any help would be greatly appreciated,
thanks
Tom

Here is what you should do:
- Download and install the latest Creative MediaSource Player/Organizer 3.30.2 from your product download site. Make sure that you install this first before installing the rest of the MediaSource plugins listed below.
- (Depending on your product and firmware. There is no harm installing both if you are not sure.)
For non-PlaysForSure Zen Micro: Download and install the latest Creative Zen and NOMAD Jukebox plugin 2.00.20 for Creative MediaSource from your product download site.
or:
For PlaysForSure Zen Micro: Download and install the latest Creative MediaSource Plugin for PlaysForSure devices (version .00.8) from your product download site.
- If it is listed for your product: Download and install the latest Creative MediaSource Plugin for CD Burner 3.0.8 from your product download site.

Optimum allocation size Toshiba Class 2 16GB Micro SDHC card

Hi --
Be gentle, please. I am newly registered here and am not sure that I found the correct forum to post this question.
I have a new Toshiba Class 2 16GB Micro SDHC card, just received today. Before I used it and while it is still under warranty, I wanted to test it for genuineness with the H2TestW program, which requires that I format it first.
Certainly I want to retain the default fat32 format but what file allocation size is best?
The card will mostly be used in my Sandisk Clip Plus to play MP3 files. A quick glance shows most of those files to be 5,500-10,000 KBs.
Suggestions, please?
Thanks.

Hi buddy,
I use different SD and SDHC cards for years now and I always use the default settings for allocation size. I never had any problems with that.

Expresscard reader for CF & SDHC cards

I'm looking for a card reader for my Macbook Pro that can read compact flash cards (from my DSLR) as well as the SDHC (from my Blackberry 8330 curve) and hopefully some of the other common photo cards. But from my cursory searches, I'm seeing only one type of reader or the other. Are CF and SDHC card formats incompatible in a single card reader? Or am I just not looking hard enough? Much appreciated!

I have never seen a single reader for the Expresscard slot that does both CF and SD. I think the issue is that the CF card won't fit in the 34mm size. So that would make for a much bulkier and less visually attractive reader The CF readers already stick out quite a bit. Now it would have to be even bigger to get the SD connector. You could get a CF reader, then get a SD-CF adapter. But that's still technically two adapters.
Me personally, I just gave up and got a $20 USB reader that does CF, SD, MS and XD. Unless you're transferring a lot of data from the memory cards, this might be the most cost effective. Otherwise, for speed, you'll have to get separate Expresscard adapters. However, you'll want to check the specs carefully as some of the readers use the USB interface of the Expresscard slot instead of the PCI interface and so might not get faster transfer rates than an external USB reader.

T61p, SDHC card & Vista

When I fit the T61p with a scandisk SDHC extreme III card, after a while,the compter is like loosing the track of the card. The explorer sees the card, but it cannot read it. If an application was using it, it is like frozen. The moment i plug in / out the card the systems seems to remember that there was a card and explorer reads it and the application (say excel or word) works with it. Until a few moments. I've been searching this site, and found some answer with suggested drivers, but all seem for xp, while i'm using Vista Ultimate. The card is not used with readyboost, because that would send the whole computer in a frozen mode until i plugged in /out the card, the it would "get back to life"
Does anyone has the same problem with VU and SDHC card ?

I was able to solve on a W500 with this solution for a T61:
http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/document.do?sitestyle=lenovo&lndocid=MIGR-70881
The solution does not involve any drivers that were not already on the computer, so it doesn't appear to be version specific.

Does the Sdxc slot for mac supports Sdhc cards?

I only find Sdhc cards with 16 GB or 8 GB which is more or less the size I need/want. The Sxdc cards are huge like 64 GB wich I don't need, and of course, they're much more expensive
I know Sdxc and Sdhc cards are the same size, but that's not enought when It comes to hardware compatibleness.

Yes it does....
Only difference is the SDXC ( Secure Digital Extended Capacity) 32GB - 128GB and SDHC (Secure Digital High Capacity) 8GB to 32GB.
Other than that, no issues. They will work in your slot. I'm using both.

16 GB SDHC card and Ze

I saw a class 6 Patriot Signat Line Flash 6GB SDHC Card, and has a transfer speed of minimum at 6.0MB/s. The features are down below. I wanna know if anyone tell me that my 4gig Zen would be compatible with this SDHC card, and will the speed qick enough to play videos Thanks! And also that if anyone know what's this card's difference with sanDisk's micro SDHC, how special is this micro thing
Complies with SDA 2.0 Specifications<
High level of copy protection<
Compatible with SDHC slot devices<
Write protection switch to avoid accidental data deletion<
Secure Digital High Capacity (SDHC)<
Write SpeedClass 6: 6MB/s minimum sustained write speed<

When you enter "Memory Card" off the Zen's main menu and select the "Browse" item does the Zen say "Media not detected" or otherwise misbehave? If not, try selecting the "Removeable Disk" menu item and then connect the Zen to your computer via the USB cable. If things are working properly your computer should show you a new removable disk icon representing the storage space on the memory card inserted in the Zen (i.e. you'll be using the Zen itself as an SDHC-capable memory card reader).
The card may be working properly but your expectations are wrong. If you were expecting the memory card to to expand the internal memory of your Zen, and have its contents integrated into the internal music database, then you'll be disappointed. It doesn't work that way. The memory card as an independent USB Mass Storage (UMS) device with a traditional file system.
If you notebook has an internal card reader but the card doesn't show up, then it could be your internal card reader doesn't support the newer SDHC standard. Notebooks more than a couple years old very likely won't be able to see it. SDHC is different than the older SD standard. That was the case for me. I had to pick up cheap external card reader to use SDHC with my old laptop.

What formats of videos can be played from the SDHC card on the Zen?

CWhat formats of videos can be played from the SDHC card on the Zen?' I realize that the SDHC card data is not integrated into the same functions as the data on the internal dri've. That's not my issue.
My issue is trying to find [color="#ff0000"]ANY videos that can be played [color="#ff0000"]AT ALL from the SDHC card.
I've been e-mailing with technical support for 2 weeks but it seems all I get is the run-around (and I different technician) with each e-mail reply.
First they tell me I have to get my videos from Amazon Unbox in order to play them. Then they tell me that, no, the Amazon ones don't play from the SDHC card.
Can anyone tell me what format or what source I can use to actually play videos from the SDHC card?

Can anyone help. I need to reuse my SDHC cards and transfer footage from an ongoing profect to a hard drive. Can i edit from the Hard drive or am I better transferring info striaight from camera to time line

Hi I am using a JVC GY-HM100 camera which is meant to work well with final cut pro. I have an ongoing project but need to save money and resuse the SDHC cards that are currently full of footage.
Would I be better off transferring the footage straight to the time line (as rumour has it you can do this with this camera) or store the footage on a hard drive and edit it later without risk of losing the footage.
Many thanks
Lindabob

Thanks Linda,
Here's some more info for you:
This is my pet checklist for questions regarding FCP X performance - you may have already addressed some of the items but it's worth checking.
Check the spec of your Mac against the system requirements:
http://www.apple.com/finalcutpro/specs/
Check the spec of your graphics card. If it's listed here, it's not suitable:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4664
Make sure you're using the latest version of the application - FCP X 10.0.3 runs very well on my 2009 MacPro 2 x 2.26 GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon with 16 GB RAM and ATI Radeon HD 5870 1024 MB. I run it with Lion 10.7.3.
Check that you have at least 20% free space on your system drive.
If you have not already done so, move your Projects and Events to a fast (Firewire 800 or faster) external HD. Make sure the drive's formatted OS Extended (journalling's not required for video). You should always keep at least 20% free space on the Hard Drives that your Media, Projects and Events are on.
If you are getting crashes, there is some conflict on the OS. Create a new (admin) user account on your system. Do NOT import any of the settings etc from the old account - simply use FCP X from there - if it runs a lot better, there's a conflict and a clean install would be recommended - but remember, if you reinstall the system, and then use Migration Assistant (or anything else) to import all your old settings etc etc, you may well be importing the cause of the conflict in the first place.
Keep projects to 20 mins or less (about half that for Multicam). If you have a long project, work on short sections, make them into Compound Clips and then paste these into a final project for export.
If you ever experience dropped frames, I strongly recommend you use ProRes 422 Proxy - it edits and plays back like silk because the files are small but lightly compressed (not much packing and unpacking to do) - but remember to select 'Original or Optimised Media' (FCP X Preferences > Playback) just before you export your movie, otherwise it will be exported at low resolution.
If you have plenty of processor power, for the ultimate editing experience, create Optimised Media - most camera native files are highly compressed and need a great deal of processor power to play back - particularly if you add titles, filters or effects. ProRes 422 takes up much more hard drive space but is very lightly compressed. It edits and plays back superbly.
Hide Audio Waveforms at all times when you don't need them (both in Browser and Storyline / Timeline). They take up a lot of processor power. (Use the switch icon at the bottom-right of your timeline to select a format without waveforms if you don't need them at the moment, then switch back when you do).
Create folders in the Project and Events libraries and put any projects you are not working on currently, in those folders. This will help a lot. There's a great application for this, called Event Manager X - for the tiny cost it's an invaluable application.
http://assistedediting.intelligentassistance.com/EventManagerX/
Unless you cannot edit and playback without it, turn off Background Rendering in Preferences (under Playback) - this will help general performance and you can always render when you need to by selecting the clip (or clips) and pressing Ctrl+R.
The biggest single improvement I saw in performance was when I upgraded the RAM from 8 GB to 16.

How can I convert my music, and CDs to MP3, for use in my vehicle's AM/FM/ Stereo? I have a 16 GB SDHC Card, that I would like to load up with some of my music.

Well, this question really belongs in the iTunes forum, which is where you will get fast answers.
Just go to iTunes Preferences. Click on the General icon. Set When you insert a CD to Ask to Import CD. Click on Import Settings. Set Import to MP3 decoder. Make sure you're using Good Quality.
This should deal with your CD's.
With your current music, as long as it does not have DRM restrictions (older iTunes Music did), select the song, right click on the song (or group of songs), pull down to Create MP3 version.
