AVI Playback?

edit

Can someone confirm .avi playback with this player? I recently bought one and have had zero success transferring .avi files to this particular player. It is an 8GB model, and the files I have tried to transfer were encoded in wither MPEG4 Version 2 or XviD. I just got off the phone with technical support and they said that it does not support .avi files.

  • AVI is just the container format. Transcoding is their shmancy term for converting video files to a natively supported format (WMV9) at 320 x 240. Attempts to copy videos encoded with other codecs or larger frame sizes will produce error messages. Creative's conversion software, included on the CD ROM with the player, will ably convert most formats to the supported type. It is a bit slow though. A replacement converter could speed up the process, but free optimized converters with WMV9 codecs are not readily available. 68.9.46.166 (talk) 16:20, 25 August 2008 (UTC)Reply

Linux

This ZEN player works quite well with the gnomad2 Linux application, I have tried this myself. --Panic1 (talk) 07:52, 26 September 2008 (UTC)Reply

Incorrect information about the SD card integration.

edit

The SD card integration isnt poor, its just not what people were expecting. People wanted the memory cards to function as a "RAM expansion pack", and not a totally seperate disk. Creative decided that they should function as a totally seperate disk and not as a "RAM expansion pack". Thus, people think its crappy.

PS: If you look at the Zen as a computer, and the SD card was originally designed to function as a way to copy photos or to play an audio book stored on a Multimedia Card, then the SD card integration isnt poor. Presario (talk) 21:40, 21 April 2009 (UTC)Reply

Microphone input quota

edit

What does it mean this quota (number of hours ?) ?

--Mario CUSENZA (talk) 01:47, 13 February 2010 (UTC) Seems to be the number of hours it can record (in theory, I guess, if the battery holds up and there is enough storage). --Cyberman TM (talk) 17:15, 31 March 2011 (UTC)Reply

Confusion reducing method

edit

In response to my own edit, perhaps the "About" template should be used instead (as on the referenced page)? --Mortense (talk) 17:29, 27 December 2013 (UTC)Reply
