"I bought one of these china MP4 digital players, a Nano knock off, 2 gb. I just want to play music. I sync'd it with my windows media player (11) and had problems. I tried to just cut and paste, still problems. I tried just puting MP3's on it and still problems.
The problem is if i load more then 10 to 12 songs, after the 10 or 12th song it says format error and shuts off. I tried different songs, still does it. If i put less the 10 songs it's fine. I tried to Format it, didnt help. When i put 50 some songs on it at first it only used maybe a quarter of the space.
I just cant figure out what the problem is. Any one know? "

Is this problem isolated to the "no brand" mp4 players? I was wondering because I want to buy a Meizu mini and I don't want to have to go through this grief. As a matter of fact, is there a good list of players that is available? Thanks.

okay i recently bought a what i thought was an ipod and was disapponited to find it was a knock ( one of life's lessons i guess)
anyways i think your formatting steps would help me because mine fits many ( maybe all ) of the requirements. the only thing is when i run the disk utilities tool i get an error message saying " No detected removable disk! Please check the disk connecting or reboot system!" it does the same thing when i go into the partition and encrypt window. ive tried checking the connection and rebooting but nothing works is there anything you can do to help me! it would be much appreciated THANKS

Take care the Chipods are nothing but trouble. At least they have a user site now. My 8GB died after the first week and is still as dead as a door nail! Anything you can do to stabilize the crap will extend the usable life which in my case was a week.

These far east mp4 players all seem to use the same amv standard..
this is what I do.
How to convert video into AMV format
Using patched FFmpeg
In common case command line will look like
ffmpeg -i <input> -f amv -s <width>x<height> -r 16 -ac 1 -ar 22050 -qmin 3 -qmax 3 <output>
FFmpeg accepts any picture resolutions, but hardware players supports only:
* 128x90
* 128x128
* 160x120
Input file can be any video format supported by FFmpeg.
Note: if output file has 'amv' extention, -f amv option can be omitted.
Option -r 16 sets framerate to 16 frames/sec (other values seems to be not supported by hardware players).
Options -ac 1 and -ar 22050 sets 22050 Hz mono sound. (other formats are not supported on any I have seen)
Options -qmin 3 and -qmax 3 forces quantizer to be equal to 3. This will give you good quality with acceptable file size.
Example 1. Converting AVI file into AMV with 160x120 picture size:
ffmpeg -i file.avi -s 160x120 -ac 1 -ar 22050 -qmin 3 -qmax 3 file.amv
###################################################################
here is the link to the patched ffmpeg. http://www.zshare.net/download/6666010fe4838f/
original avi, target file location and ffmpeg all need to be in the same directory..If you don't know how to run the app from the command line hard luck.
