[Zen Vision:M] videos only playing first 8 seco

I just got my Z Vision:M today, when I try to play videos that I transfered to the player, the videos only play the first 8 seconds. I updated to the newest version of the firmware and am still getting this problem. How can I fix this? Thanks.

Since you have had the player for a few years you may need to replace the battery. Also having it sit for a looong time without charging it does not help keep the battery in shape.http://www.batteryuni'versity.com/parttwo-34.htm Slipping the tip of a safety pin into the reset hole while the adapter is attached (difficult but doable). Does the charging icon show it as charging while connected? BTW 3 hours is not enough time to charge when it has sat dead for a while.. If it shows that it is charging power it down & leave it til the blue light by the power switch stops pulsing & the charging icon stops blinking.

IOS 8 all videos only play in landscape view

TV Shows, Movies and even Music Videos only play in Landscape view, not Portrait. Is this everyone's experience?

The Apple iOS 8 Preview site used to have the wording quoted below (still viewable in the Google search preview) but as noted in http://www.macrumors.com/2014/09/12/apple-demotes-icloud-photo-library-beta/, it has been delayed
Every photo, every edit, every album now lives in your iCloud Photo Library, easily viewable and consistent on all your iOS devices. Automatically.

Youtube videos only play properly at 240p

I've had an annoying problem for several weeks.
Youtube videos only play properly at 240p. At any rate higher, they are garbled. Audio is fine, but the video is garbled.
Any ideas?
Tried uninstalling and reinstalling. No luck.
This happens with IE and FF.
Thanks,.

disable hardware acceleration (Flash Player Settings);

Creative zen vision m: video cable help!!! PLZZ

:smileyindifferent:hi, i reallly need to know how to connect the cable to the tv and the vision m.
i have tried it on many channels but i dont knw they dont work. do u have to
go to a speical place in the mp3 and click sumthin like connect to tv or what?:angry:
please if sum knws please help me!! im waitin for a reply.....:smileyindifferent:

The creative cable is not standard. You cannot use standard 3.5mm to 3xRCA AV cables. There are instructions on this forum on how to convert a standard AV cable to one that is compatible with the player.
More information on how the cable is wired is avaliable [url="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v94/mabrandt5/ZVMrewiringguide.jpg">Here[/url]. Not my image, someone else on the forum created it, found it in this post.
There is an article on [url="http://www.anythingbutipod.com/archi'ves/2006/04/zen-vision-m-video-cable-other-4pole-35mm-pinouts.php">anything but ipod on it as well[/url].
These are the instructions I followed to make my own cable from a standard AV cable. I can't remember who wrote it (Sorry who ever it is), so I don't pretend to take any of the credit for writing it:
Ok here is step by step (i don't have @ home atm digi photo, so i can't do shots)...
Things u'll need:
* AV cable ( 4pole mini jack -to-> 3 RCA yello', red, white)
* knife/scalpel/isolation removal tool...lighter can be a easiest way to remove isolation (when applied gently)
* isolation tape
terms:
GROUND (shield, minus, negati've) = outer wire in the cables, stronger one
HOT (plus, chnl,etc..) = inner smaler wire, caryin' signal
RCA (phonos, cynch,etc..) = those plugs u can find on most of the audio video equipment
MINI JACK (walkman jack, small banana) = can be mono, stereo or audio/video (4 poles)
It's your choice on what part of cable u want to do rewiring (close to the mini jack or close to the RCA's)
I'll describe here easier way (close to the mini jack):
- cutoff the cable close to the mini jack (leave jack with about 8-0cm of cable)
2 - remove isolation on all three cables from both sides (RCA's n mini jack)
- u should remove isolations (2-3cm) of shield/ground (outer wire) and from hot (inner wire)
- on the mini jack side: leave the RED one cable longer than yellow n white
3 - on the mini jack side: remove ground (outer wire) on YELLOW and WHITE cables and isolate
4 - on the mini jack side: remove isolation on the RED hot (inner wire) a bit longer, this is your new ground for all three RCA's, be careful that ground n hot on RED doesn't contatc so isolate em
5 - on the RCA's side: put/twist all three grounds into one wire
6 - wire RED from the jack side to the GROUND of RCA's side (look @ step 5)...isolate
7 - on the mini jack side wire RED cable's GROUND to the YELLOW's cable HOT on the RCA side, isolate
8 - on the mini jack side wire YELLOW cable's HOT to the RED HOT on the RCA side, isolate
9 - on the mini jack side wire WHITE cable's HOT to the WHITE HOT on the RCA side, isolate
0-isolate everythin' properly
enjoy ;-)

I downloaded an album from Itunes but one of the songs will only play first 4 minutes. It is the last song on the album. All other songs will play.

I downloaded an album from i Tunes but one of the songs will only play first 4 minutes of 26 minutes and then stop. It is the last song on the album. All other songs will play. The Album is U.F.O. 2 One Hour of Space Rock.

Jim, wanted to let you know it worked. I deleted the entire album since it was an album only (26 minutes long) song, then I went to the home icon of iTunes store, clicked on purchased and saw previous purchases and bam, I downloaded the album again and it now works!!! Thanks..

Zen Vision M: Video Transfer Proble

I recently purchased a Creative Zen Vision M and was able to transfer content with no trouble. When I transfered the first few videos, it did so with no problems and I was able to watch them with ease. Now, when I try to transfer a video to my player, I always get the same message: "Cannot copy 'xxxxxx.avi': the video file is not valid or not recognized. Do you want to skip this file?" When I try to convert the file, the conversion manager says the file does not need conversion. When every video I tried rendered this same message, I tried to transfer one of the files I had originally placed (and viewed) on the player and I got the same error. I am curious as to what the problem could be.
Thanks in advance.

What codec is the avi ?
Try something like Virtual Dub and re-encode the avi using the Divx codec (v4 0r v5 only) - then reimport and it should work.

Zen Vision: M - Video Problem

I'm not sure what exactly is the problem with the video, but whenever I upload it, it will only play up 00:08 of 24:0. For some reason, it fails to recognize the other parts of the video, and only shows the video length as 8 seconds. The video works fine when played in Windows Media.
The size of the video is 70 MB, and the data rate is 966 kbs.

I would say maybe the data rate is the problem . I use this program to encode my videos & it has a preset for the Zen that also works well on the Zen VM. http://forums.creative.com/showthread.php?t=527380BTW just because a video plays on the computer does not mean it will play on your device.

AVI File Captured in Premiere Elements 8 Only Plays First Few Minutes

Hello folks,
I'm totally new to this. My problem: I've recently installed Premiere Elements 8 and used it to capture some mini DV video tapes (via firewire), without any significant problems (other than a few freezes). Now I've tried to capture some VHSC tapes via my TV card (Avermedia H727). The capture process went well (except that the preview screen was just a fuzzy mess!) but I had to plug the audio inputs into my sound card (onboard) rather than the TV card.
The caputred files are about 6 + Gb for a 30 minute tape but when playing the captured video back in PrE8 only the first few minutes is available (the length of playback seems to vary unpredictably (1 tape allowed 3 minutes of playback, another a bit less).   The full avi files can be played back in Roxio or Windows Media Player etc but not PrE8.
Interestingly, videos captured from VHSC via the same TV card in Roxio 2010 Pro will play back correctly and fully in PrE8.   I had to switch audio inputs to the TV card (rather than the soundcard) for the audio to be captured with Roxio.
My son has tried to help me with this (having some experience on PrE2) but he's also drawn a blank with this.
I'd be very grateful for any help that you might be able to give as I've not found anything in FAQ although it's not easy to succintly define my search for this problem.
Many thanks

Graphics     ATI Radeon HD 4300/4500 series

Thanks John:
My PC has 2 HDDs and both are of the “green” variety. Both are partitioned (2 partitions on each HDD) with operating systems on the first partition (Windows 7 Pro 64 bit on one and Windows XP Pro -32 bit on the other, the operating systems are on different physical drives).
The tips relating to PrPro are hard to follow as they are quite technical and I’m not even sure which ones also relate to PrE8.   It would take me an age to try to wade through this lot.
My point is that my current setup (for all its imperfections) will capture video (via the TV card) using PrE8 as the capture software. The setup must be adequate for this task as the complete avi file is played back correctly on Roxio and Windows Media Player but PrE8 fails to recognise any video after the first 3 minutes (approx).
If I capture to PrE8 using a firewire connection from my mini DV video camera then the capture proceeds normally (apart from odd freezes) and the captured video is all playable in PrE8.
When capturing using the mini DV camera, I select "DV camcorder" in the “Get Media” menu. However, this only supports Firewire or USB sources.   When capturing from the VHSC tapes via the TV card I have to select “Webcam or WDM Device” as the media source (I’m not convinced that this is the most suitable capture mode but it’s the only one I can find that doesn’t look for either a firewire or USB device.
It seems as though PrE8 must be putting some code onto the captured video that prevents more of it from playing back because avi files recorded on Roxio will playback fully.   I've tried to copy the PrE8 avi files into a different folder (devoid of any PrE8 project files) and then renaming the file before importing into PrE8 but still only the first few minutes will play.   My thinking here was that perhaps one of the other associated project files that PrE8 creates might be the source of the corrupt info.
Many thanks for your interest and taking the trouble to respond.

Zen Vision M video convertion problem: image upside d

Tried to copy .avi videos to my ZVM, but after the required convertion?(via Creative converter to .wmv format) the video appeared upside down. Tried several times with different files -- same result. Any idea?

Youtube videos only play for two seconds before displaying an error message since updating to FF28.

Since updating to Firefox 28, videos on Youtube will display a spinning wheel for some time, only play one or two seconds of the video, and then go to a Youtube ‘an error has occurred’ screen. At this point, Flash will crash, hanging Firefox for a minute or so. This occurs whether I am using the HTML5 player or the default player. The same videos worked fine previously in Firefox 27, and still work fine over the same wifi connection on Chrome for Android. A similar issue had occurred under Firefox 27, but only if the video was embedded in another site. Vimeo and Facebook Video still work fine: the problem seems to be specific to Youtube. Everything else on the Youtube site itself works; it's only videos that are malfunctioning.
I am running the latest Firefox and Flash updates on Windows 7 64-bit, with Tree Style Tab, Download Statusbar, Adblock Plus, Foxyscrobbler, NetUsageItem, and Pocket. The issue still occurs with all add-ons disabled in safemode, and with just Adblock disabled (my first thought was that perhaps Google had changed ad delivery in a way that caused ABP to break videos, but this doesn't appear to be so).
Does anyone have any ideas as to what's gone wrong? :)

Sorry, I forgot to mention, I tried turning hardware acceleration off as was suggested elsewhere on the support forum, but this didn't help either.

Video only plays for a few seconds, then freezes

The video, which I got from the apple website, plays fine in iTunes but once I upload it to the iPod it will only play for a few seconds before freezing and becoming nonresponsive. Is this a software problem? Anyone know of a solution? Thanks.

Or you can follow these instructions.... (adopted from btabz)
Here are more detailed instructions on how to go back to 1.0, espescially if you bought your iPod in the last couple of months and it came with 1.1.
First, please download the older version of the iPod Updater here...
http://appldnld.m7z.net/content.info.apple.com/iPod/ww/win/061-2225.20051128.PDW nw/iPodSetup.exe
Now install that updater and restart your computer.
Now open the iPod updater (Start-->all programs-->iPod and find the iPod updater you just installed
Open the iPod Updater and connect your iPod. With that older version of the iPod updater you just installed, restore your iPod by clicking restore.
The iPod will restore and go back to software version 1.0. Now reload everything back into iTunes.
If you don't want to restore, see this...

Video only plays for a few seconds, no sound, ALL BROWSERS

I have having that notorious problem that seems to originate from sometime in 2008. I found no recent reference to it, but that's irrelevant.
I have no sound in youtube/megavideo/any flash, and the video will only play for 2-3 seconds. This is the same for IE, and Opera.
Uninstalling via Adobes uninstallation tool and then reinstalling has not fixed this issue. I do not have Realplayer on this system, that I am aware. I am outof ideas. I am using Windows XP SP3, if any other information is relevant I'll post it.

Hi, well it sounds like something is certainly conflicting but exactly what can't be determined at this point. Confirming that you have the correct Flash Player files Installed would be the first thing to check. Go to C:\Windows\System32\Macromed\Flash Open Flash and post back all files listed. NPSWF file(s) will need a right click and then click on Properties to obtain the version number(s).
Using IE, check in all add ons for Shockwave Flash Object...ActiveX Control..Flash10h.ocx. It should be listed that way and Enabled. It may include the vs # 10.1.53.64.
Using FF, check for the SWF vs 10.1.53.64 plug-in and it should be listed that way and Enabled.
Thanks,
