Zen vision m and rmvb fi

Can Zen Vision M read rmvb files? If not, can I convert to mpeg? Which software should I use to convert?

Vision or Vision:M
Yes, the vision:M plays DivX files:
Supported video formats: MPEG/2/4-SP, WMV9, Motion-JPEG, compatible DivX 4,5 and XviD
The Vision is designed primarily with video in mind, with its 3.7" screen. If you plan on watching videos (30 minutes+), then I suggest the Vision. The 2.5" screen on the Vision:M is good for watching short clips but, even with my eyes, it is hard to watch it for long amounts of time. Granted, the Vision is a bigger player with a bigger price tag, but has features the Vision:M doesnt. For good reviews of both, check www.cnet.com. Both are great players, and youll be fine with either.

Zen Vision: M and .AVI Fi

So, the official site says it cannot support it but it is odd that the Zen Vision can support it whereas the Zen Vision:M can't. So I would like to know if DivX .AVI files are supported by Zen Vision: M and if I am going to use my Zen for a mix of Music but also for video what yould you reccomend, Zen Vision or the Zen Vision: M.
Thank You,

Zen Vision, MediaSource and the Mac

I am considering recommending that my girlfriend?purchase of?a 30 or 60Gb Zen Vision M as a basis for digitising her music collection. This recommnedation is based on my happy experiences with the excellent MediaSoure product on my ageing JukeBox III. However, she has a Mac computer and not a PC. Any basic (or?indeed detailed) guidance or recommendations that anyone can offer?Much appreciated. Also, does anyone know how I might be able to get MediaSource 5 (PC) to work alongside my olde Creative JUkeBox III -according to the autoupdate, this old thing is supported any more??Nick

APerfectCircle,
The Zen Sleek Photo does exist and it's available. It may not be within your region for purchase but it doesn't mean that it doesn't exist. Since the player does exist, this thread really serve no purpose at all and will only mislead others so I'm closing this.

I have the latest Firmware installed (found it easiest to do using the Software AutoUpdate section of the website) even installed with WMP on my pc.
Also I updated my creative media explorer, which allowed me to convert more video files from the same place. I found this really usefull.
I have?NOT had the problem of my player not being recognised when connected to my pc and unfortunately I do not know how to solve that problem, sorry, hope some one else can help you with that.

Well I figured it out. Turns out if you go to Sync(little down arrow)>DEVICE_NAME>Advanced Options>Quality if you leave it on automatic it will transfer wav files, but if you change it (I did without knowing) then the highest quality you're going to get is 92 WMA.

Zen Vision M and Vi

When I was using my Zen Vision M with Windows XP, I can add album artworks through Zen Media Explore by setting the view to "Album View". But now I am on Vista, the Zen Media Explore doesn't have the "Album View" option anyway so I can't add album artworks. Anyway has any ideas?

Yeah I know WMP works, but it doesn't always find the right artwork and track information. I manually tagged all of my music under iTunes and added the album arkworks myself. I just don't understand why they took the function away in Zen Media Explore for Vista.

Is there a known bug with the zen vision;m and usb internet adapt

i bought the zen m yesterday. i've down loaded it onto my pc.
audible wont sync to it. the creative firmware updater wont update it keeps saying its not connected.
Windows media player synced to it ( the only thing thats gone right so far lol )
and worst of all every time i plug in the unit via usb. if i unplug the unit my netgear usb WPNT2 stops recieving all 802. signals until the driver explodes taking the system down with it. or i manual reboot.
whats going on?
i'm thinking i should have gotten a Zune, and if i can't resolve this i'm going to have to take this back.
i put the zen on my laptop and xbox 360 and it works fine. it runs a pcmcia adaptor.
my desktop is a media center rollup 2 everything up todate. my netgear drivers are uptodate. i dont know whats going on here.Message Edited by paladin238 on 2-02-200604:24 PM

it's not connected on a hub.
update audible still can't activate the zen, and it still keeps crashing the wireless adaptor, which inturns causes a stop error and crashes the system. i can't win =/

Zen Vision M and Real Pla

Since I got my Vision M I have always had problems linking up with Real Player. It takes a really long time for the content of the device to load into the Real player. Just recently I have been unable to view the contents of playlists created in Real Player and transferred to the device. When I try to add new playlists the device locks up and needs to be reset. It has also locked up when deleting tracks as well (through Real Player) I tried dumping all the tracks and reloading, but the problem is reoccuring.
Any feedback I can get would be very helpful.
PS: I'm sort of stuck with Real Player since I purchased a bunch of (DRM) tracks from them prior to getting the Vision M.
Thanks.

Yes you were right I re-tried after reading your reply. They need to be really inserted reasonably tightly in your ears. If they are even slighlty loose then the bass is lost and other harmonic ranges lost. Finding the right ear piece so the fit is right seems important so they re not loose.
Also saw this link http://toykeeper.net/reviews/shure_e3c - someone with the same problem.
Thank for your help.

Smart Playlists on Zen Vision:M and Creative Media Organizer Software

I come from the iPod world, where, once a playlist is created in iTunes, the playlist is transferred to the iPod, and is automatically updated each time you sync. That's why it's called "smart" playlist.
I can create a smart playlist using the Creative Media Organizer software. It automatically updates the playlist, based on the rules I defined. However, the playlist created on the Media Organizer does NOT get transferred to the Vision:M player! What's the point in that?
I can, of course, copy the smart playlist to the Vision:M manually... but there are two HUGE problems with that...
) The smart playlist becomes a "static" playlist... it does not get updated when you sync -- the music in the playlist never changes (even though the original smart playlist is updated on each sync),
2) The software recopies the *music* back to the Vision:M each time you create a playlist! This means that it overwrites the music that was there, with the (same) music in the playlist!! This takes FOREVER, if there are a lot of titles in the playlist! This is obviously a brain-dead way of doing things! All the software/Vision:M needs to do, is to copy the actual music files that don't currently exist on the player, and then create a text file that contains the *location* of the music... in other words, an M3U playlist file! One of the (many) issues with doing things the way this software does it, is that each time a track appears in a separate playlist, a duplicate entry for that song appears in the Vision:M's music list! So, if you have 5 playlists, and each one contains "Mozart's 5th", then when you list all the songs on your Vision:M, you'll get 5 copies of "Mozart's 5th" listed! Dumb!
Any way around these problems? Can I have smart playlist that gets transferred to the player so that it contains only the songs I want? Does it *have* to recopy ALL the songs to the player, each time I create a playlist? Does it *have* to add duplicate entries to the list of files on my Vision:M?
Is the software *really* as dumb as I think it is, or am I just being a BDU (Brain Dead User)?

You can only automatically sync playlists using Windows Media Player 0 as far as I know. There's lots of other software out there that can use the Media Transfer Protocol of the Vision:M, but I'm not sure what they can do.
Creative's software is desperately lacking in the playlist sync area, so you're not being a BDU

Zen Vision:M and linux (windows explore

Hey
I am wondering about the compatibility with linux. I've read some posts in this forum claiming that it's no good, which annoys me because I am really interrested in this product and I am only using linux.
But after reading some reviews on the net, some reviewers claim that they can add songs, video etc. using windows explorer, in other words that there is not necessary to install the supplied software (some call it UMS or plug-n-play). If this really works as they claim, there should be few problems getting a linux file browser to do the same job.
Eyeing a glimpse of hope, I've read most of the reviews on the net, and I'm getting a lot of contradictrary information: Two sites claim that it is plug-n-play compatible, several doesn't mension it (which implies there's no compatibility), and at least one claims that its plug-n-play incompatibility is its major con. I am confused!
Anybody have any experience with linux and the vision:m? Anybody able to confirm the plug-n-play compatibility?
And another thing, the player is described to be MTP-based. Does that mean that the player will only be browsable with win. explorer and not a linux file browser, or does this only concern the use with windows media player?

You won't be able to add media to the Vision:M with Linux.
You can create a MSC partition on the Vision, set it to Removable disk mode, and Linux will see it. You can copy data to it, etc. like a portable HDD, but you can't view any of these files on the player itself.

Zen Vision:M and Album Art

So I know it has album art and I should be happy about, and I am. But I wish I could zoom in! Has anyone found a way, or is there a hack! Please do tell?

Hi Boxy !
For now, you can't zoom in the Album Art, but it can be a new feature on a future firmware. To hack it somehow, you have to mess around the system folder which is inaccessible...

MediaSource Recognition Problem? (Zen Vision:

OK, I had a Zen 20GB for the last year and I loved it to bits. Worked great, but just before Christmas it fell in some water and died . I replaced it with a 60GB Zen Vision:M and didn't mind too much because I had less than GB of space left and would have had to replace it soon anyway.
Now onto my question. With my Zen 20GB when I used Media Source (I think v.3 came with it but I can't remember) it would let me search my Zen and edit tracks in it. The search function was IMO fantastic, especially with a music collection as large as mine. Now when I connect my ZV:M it connects fine. I've transferred plenty of music without bother using Windows Media Player.
However, when I open Media Source (both v.3 and v.5) it doesn't give me any option to explore my Zen like it did when I had my 20GB. I can still explore it using the Zen Explorer, but since this doesn't let you edit the properties for several tracks at a time I find it very frustrating.
Also, if I chose to "Transfer Music", "Transfer Playlist" or "Sync Music" in Media Source I get the message "No Creative mp3 player is detected. Please connect your mp3 player and try again."
Now, I know it's connected since I can explore the contents fine in Zen Explorer and I can transfer to it using WMP. Is there something I haven't installed correctly that is stopping Media Source from recognising my player? It just seems strange since it seems to be the only application not working for it.
Thanks for the help (and sorry if this has been covered else where. I searched but couldn't find anything).

You must also download and install the corresponding MediaSource plugin for your MP3 player in order for MediaSource 5 to detect your MP3 player.

There's video problems with my Zen Vision:M already (M video cable related) Please help

Some background...
System:Windows XP with Service Pack 2.
Player: Brand new Creative Zen Vision: M with no firmware updates.
My Zen Vision:M has a problem (besides the scratch and fingerprint attracting top surface): It won't play videos on a TV screen when the M Video Cable (also from Creative) is linked to it anymore. It's only been a few hours...
I had the cable already, and got the player today. I let the player charge to /4th of a battery while I was setting up all the software. I ran the software programs just to take a peek, only changing the name of my player (to my name). I used Winamp 5.3 to put a music track on the player to test it. After that, I hooked it up to the VCR in my room through the white and yellow A/V plugs in front. It worked just fine. It to the tv a little large, but I was okay with it.
Later on today, the new AC charger I ordered came in the mail (Player came through UPS, charger through USPS). I looked at my old charger (Creative Zen Touch) and realized it would work with the plug-in part of the sync unit at the bottom. I tested it for a minute and it did. I still took it out and tried the new one. This is where, I think, something happened. I had to press the sides to get the thing in, and it was hard to come out. Everything still fit just right, and nothing seemed to be wrong. I used my old charger as I added more of my music library. Now it was on to videos. I had to convert the first two test vids (they were .wmv), but they played on my player fine. I put a bigger .wmv file onto the player to see if it had to convert it, and it did. It still played on the player. When I go to hook it to the TV with the A/V cord again, there was nothing but a black screen with the occasional diagonal scan line. The sound is still there.
Besides quirks with the navigational system, the player is still great for music and video. Still, I needed no video capability, and one of the things that made the ZVM a buy for me was watching my vids on the big screen. I'd return this for a second try, but I want to know if this is a recurring issue with you guys and if there's something I can do to fix it before a return. Did I mess with a setting? Should I get new firmware? Did I do wrong using my old charger? If any of you have an answer, or need more info on my situation, please let me know.
And BTW, does anyone know of some better software for organizing files on the ZVM? I used Winamp for my Zen Touch and the music on my ZVM, but videos are another ballpark. I can't transfer a video from one folder to another folder (assuming both folders are on the ZVM). Not to mention the music I transferred using Winamp isn't even showing up in Windows Media Player. I think I need a different program altogether.

I have got a new Creative Zen Vision W and getting the same problem....when i attach to the tv then i am able to hear the audio content and the video does not show.Are we missing something ? or is it a problem with the player. Also the software provided with the Zen converts small .vob files to .wmv when ever the size is large it gives an error 'conversion?unsucessful'.Any body facing similar problems please help.

Zen Vision:M Track Tag info?

I have a 30GB Zen Vision:M, and I'm having a problem that is apparently related to the tag information on some of my music. I've edited the tags on my computer (Win XP), and they all seem correct there, but on my Zen, they've got odd artist names, like "ACDC/ACDC" instead of "ACDC" which is what I see when I try to edit them. It's like they got set wrong at some point in the past, but in spite of my corrections (and recopying the music to my player), they're still showing up wrong.
Any suggestions/ideas?
Thanks!
Kaiti

If you have already finished doing them thru Windows Explorer go to WMP in the options have it set to when you delete music from the library that it DOES NOT delete it from the computer. Then delete the ones you have corrected. Then have WMP scan to find music files & they will now be correct there as well.
