Zen Creative Video:M Case

<FONT color=#cc0000>Updated edit: See my post later in this thread for the Belkin Neoprene case.
<FONT color=#cc0000>Keep those suggestions coming! :smileyvery-happy:
Hello,
I'd like to know where I can find a case for my new Zen Creative Video:M. I know it's new here in the United States, so I haven't found any. Is there a website or place where a case can be purchased? I don't want it to get scratched, and using the drawstring pouch it came with is NOT helpful cause I can't see the screen.
Is a case (hopefully a silicone one like apple has) available anywhere in the world? Maybe I can even order it from Asia? When do you expect to start selling cases for this new MP3 player? And try not to use the white silicone cases, use a different color because white gets dirty quickly.
Also, are there other mp3 covers (maybe for older versions of Zen players) that could potentially be use dfor my Zen Vision, if no other case is available? Please suggest it. Thanks!

FOUND ONE!!!
Yes, ok, so I think I've found a really great case for my Zen Creative Video:M. It's the Belkin NE (Neoprene Sport Case for iPod) which I bought from RadioShack.
PRO:
--Has a full-length clear plastic (PVC) for the whole front!!!
--So, you can see the whole large screen.
-- All the buttons are accessible and they all work well and has great sensitivity (even when I set mine to "Low" sensitivity onthe touchpad).
--Perfect fit for my Video:M! Sure, I had to try hard to push it in, but that's how most of these work because of the texture of the case. But it's a perfect fit and I am sure it will mold itself to my player.
--Drawstring Cinch on top, so you can leave it open so that you can have access to the buttons/earphones on the top.
--Good feel in the hand and the sides has a neoprene/rubber type thing that makes me think it's great protection.
--the attached beltclip on the back can be rotated. (no arm band or anything)
CON:
--Although there is a slot at the bottom of the case for the dock connector, I can't connect it to the player. This is because Creative for some reason made that accessory wider! Argh. So in order to charge or sync, I will most likely have to keep pulling out my player out of this case. This would be annoying, because it means I'd have to take it out and put it in again everytime. It means I'd push it out and in again, and that is not easy. That means the mold will not be as good, it may become looser as I keep doing it.
All in all, at least I found this and can use it right away to prevent scratches between now and the time the good cases come out, It's $20 at Radioshack, and the manager said I could return it if it's not working well for me. If it gets too annoying, I may just cut a bigger hole in the bottom (although it has the rubbery material, so I dunno) since that's the only problem.

Wow, I think this is the same case, found cheaper at Target: $3

  • NO AUDIO during playback after converting the VIDEO using Creative Video Conver

    I have a ZEN 2GB/4GB/8GB/6GB/32GB.
    I tried to convert video from a dvd using Creative Video Converter.
    The video is fine but there is no audio during playback.
    What am I doing wrong?

    "If this is the case, the original video file may be in a format that contains muxed (multiplexed) audio and video, and cannot be exported with audio."..."If the format is "MPEG1 Muxed" or "MPEG2 Muxed," the audio portion of the file may not be retained with QuickTime Pro or iMovie."
    I have read that article and I thought it ment that the sound will work after you convert to the MPEG4 format, which I did.
    Are you saying that if it starts out as "Muxed audio" then there is no way to convert it?
    If that is the case then in what situation would you need to use the Videora Converter?
    Thanks,

  • Where Can I Get a Zen Xtra 60 GB Case/Pouch With Window??!!!!!!!

    I've searched endlessly!
    Creative does not have any in stock so I used the ''notify me when available'' option. And sadly, after writing to Creative's customer support, I was told that they don't even know when the will get more of these in stock.
    Ebay may have a couple available at times, but it is rare. And when there is one listed on Ebay, there are many bidding on it. At other times, on Ebay, there may be a used one available, but the picture which the seller uses is not the actual case being sold. Hard to trust something like that, in my opinion.
    The only site that I have found which offers a case for a Zen Xtra is www.vajacases.com. And although they have a window, clip, etc, and are VERY nice, I don't like the idea of paying around $80 for a case.
    As we all know, iPod has several cases available for ALL of their mp3 players. It is very sad that there are no options for Creative customers. Right now I am storing the player in a generic, uni'versal, case. But this cannot protect my Zen Xtra when I need to use it because the case has to be opened in order to see the display. The odds of me breaking or scratching my Zen Xtra increase each time I have to remove it from it's case. And this is a result of there being no cases available.
    Does anyone know of a case, silicon skin, or pouch that can be used with a Zen Xtra 60 GB? Or perhaps someone may know of an iPod or PDA case which could be used for the Zen Xtra?
    This is frustrating and unbelievable to me. iPod users have an endless supply and variety to choose from while I've only found two options for loyal Creative Zen Xtra customers: . Wait and see if/when Creative has more cases available. 2. Pay nearly half of what my player cost for a vaja case.
    Any help/info would be greatly appreciated! Thank you for your time.

    i agree that it's rather annoying that it should be that hard to find a case....i like to keep all my gear secure and protected....i've been looking too....sorry i can't tell you anything you don't already know....yeah the vaja case looks really nice but way too much money...i figure our best bet is to try to get the creative one on ebay, hopefully...

  • Creative Video Converter

    I am looking for the program Creative Video Converter. I had it on my PC, but then I had to reinstall the System and lost the program. I have been looking for it all over, but no success. The program is needed to convert Videos for my ZEN XFi 2. BADAK does it, but is not quite as good as Creative Video Converter. So if there is someone in the community who can help me, I would be very grateful.

    Are you referring to Creative Central? If yes, you can download it from the support site. Click on the support link above and go to MP3 players section. Click on ZEN X-Fi2. Under Downloads->Application section, download and install Creative ZEN X-Fi2 Starter Pack 1.16.02. The pack includes the user guide and the Creative Central app.

  • Creative Video Converter iss

  • Creative Video Converter Prob

    Hallo everyone..
    I'm new here, sorry if Im in the wrong forum.
    This afternoon I tried to convert a video file ( with creative video converter from Zen M Vision Software ), but at 60 % , my computer always shut down automatically.. with another videofiles too..
    dunno wheres the problem .. maybe someone can help me ?
    Thank You.

    Well I know it'll do avi and wmv, but probably not the other. Did you try transferring them individually?
    Also does this happen in the process of transferring, or just when you manually open up the Video Converter from the start menu programs.

  • Creative Video Converter B

    I have recently been trying to convert some .wmv's into a smaller video file so that I might import them onto my Zen Vision: M and save some space in the process, yet during each attempt at video conversion, the following message appears.
    "Creative Video Converter has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience."
    The conversion never even begins, and i'm quite confused as to what to do. I have reinstalled all software including WMP0, any ideas?

    I had the same problem and tried to solve the problem. Now I' ve found the solution. I downloaded and installed the upgrades und updates:"Creative PlaysForSure Devices Plugin 5.00.36 for Creative MediaSource 5 Player_Organizer__"and"Creative MediaSource Player_Organizer 5.0.38__".You can find these upgrades by clicking on the link : "Software AutoUpdate[/b]" This site searches especially?for your?system and player the necesarry?updates.Attention: Your player must be connected while the online software autoupdate is searching for your missing software!I had another problem. My player didn't import the albumcovers althoug it did some time before. This problem is gone away, too.Hint: refresh your player firmware version
    !!! Good Luck! ??

  • Zen 4gb video qual

    I can't beli've how bad the video quality is even the zen v plus shows better. I have high quality videos in the zen4gb & it still shows bad.When buying this player I had high hopes because of its 6.7 million colors on the user interface so I firgured since Creative made that so good the video quality would be good but apperntly the interface is just a cover up of the bad video quality. I just wished there was a way of fixing this.

    I neither find it bad.. in fact, my Zen outputs video better than I expected. Except for the blacks not being truly blacks, I find it comparable to iPods that can playback videos.

  • Creative video converter image fl

    Hello,
    I am having trouble using the creative image converter every time I try to convert video it works but it flips the image upside down and horizontally so that I would have to flip my playe upside down and watch in a mirror to see it right.
    It looks the same as the problem 20772 forums.creative.com/creativelabs/board/message?board.id=dap&message.id=20772, but it still occurs when I untick 'Use advanced hardware overlay' in the DivX configuration tool.
    Thanks for your help.

    mteitler, I would suggest you do what I do: completely forget about the Creative video converter and download the free program BADAK, then use that for a very fast conversion of your videos for the ZEN. For more info go to my previous posts or contact me so that I can provide the details. BADAK just is the best I have found for converting videos. macqueline.

    Hello Everyone,

    I have put all the episodes of family guy on my ZEN and when I played it, it just played but the longer it plays the more the video stays behind on the audio. But when I play the SAME episodes which I put on my ZEN, on the computer it just works fine...

    That sounds like a software conversion problem. Try using this program http://forums.creative.com/creativel...thread.id=2983? to encode the video & then? load it on the card. I've used it & it works really good,fast & no playback issues. It also has a preset for the Zen

  • How can i sync music from mac air to zen creative mp3 player

    how can i sync music from mac air to zen creative mp3 player

    iTunes will only sync with Apple devices.  You may find when you plug in your player it appears on hte desktop as another drive.  You can drag files from iTunes to that drive.  You may need to then place them in a special folder but all this is something for you to research since players differ.  We use a Sansa Clip and a RCA player with our iTunes library and that how we do it.
    Make sure your player can play the format files you have in your collection.  Our slightly older players will not play AAC which is the standard format used by the iTunes Store.  If you find that to be the case you will have to convert formats.

  • Problem with Zen Creative

    I bought my player the last summer and I have the white screen of death since two months. I have already read the post of the white screen, but I want to know if that is a problem of all player Zen Creative 4gb/8gb/6gb or it happens only to some.
    Please answer my question, im thinking to bring it back, but if it is a problem of all the players, i will not trouble to send it. I really like the player, but with this problem i'm very upset with Creative.
    Thank you for answer <img title="Smiley Wink" src="http://forums.creative.com/i/smilies/6x6_smiley-wink.gif[/img] alt="">

    Some of my friends have been experiencing similar problem with the Zen Creative but that does not necessarily mean there is some problem with the software. You should double check before taking any step.
