i need some help with my “walk m8 mp4 player”

i cannot load videos onto it i have tryed every format in the handbook and it still wont work can any one halp me to fix this problem mabe with a convesion program ect?

Use the mp4toole programme that came with the mp4 player. I had a lot of touble and used various programmes but this works best.

Cheers

Thanx mate i just found it on my disk it is a big suff up it was a hidden file so i never new it was there so thanx

- try pushing the “Function” button several times, until you see the wellcome screen
on my WM8PD1 this operates the input/output function; you might be in “input” mode!
(or you have a genuine fault with your player)
good luck

Hey! I cant charge mine Nothing in the manual says how. I thought it would charge through the USB but it doesnt....can anyone help?

yeah i had that prob so i had to think of a way to do it i found that an old Nokia charger is the right fit but it will only charge if you have say a document open

Hey! Thanks heaps for your reply man. I gave it a go and the nokia charger didnt fit so I hit the cheap $2 shop and picked up a multi voltage power adaptor for $15. Now I have no dramas and also have a charger for other crap.

Take it easy and thanks again.

HI Everyone, I have not been able to play any AVI files on my Walk-M8 player. I have used the MP4Tool to convert files to AVI but it doesn’t have an output format of MP4. Does anyone know who the manufacturer is ?

John
I don’t have a Walk-M8 mp4 player (I ended up on this list by mistake, but I’m still interested in the issues): I have a number of other players- Toshiba, Laser, Medion.
Trouble is all “mpg4” players play _some_ mpg4 flavours, but never all. you have to convert. try first the MP4 Tool that came with the hardware (player). Hopefully, it will accept what you have. they never work for everything- that wouyld be too easy <g>. there are patent and copyright issues involved, too- some coders cost royalty fees.
avi files are usually DivX or XviD. check if your MP4 Tool accepts DivX. Watch for “freebee” conversion programmes on PC/computer magazines, they are working quite well. generally. or check Apple’s Quicktime Pro, it does a lot.
hope this helps! -hs

I also got me a walk-m8 player but I tried to insert the little disk and held the menu button in but nothing happend, then when I tried to see what was on the disk it says its mt, where or how do I find the mp4tool to get this thing to work.

i have a walk-m8 2gb mp4 player and i cannot get the vista driver. the cd that it came with was blank so i went to strathfield to get the video converter tool. it worked great on xp but now that i have vista it cannot be recognised.

Can someone please tell me where to get the vista driver

You don’t need a driver for the device. It acts as a standard USB MSD (Mass storage device), just like a memory key, external disk drive or most digital cameras.

I use mine with eComStation 2.0 Operating system, so I KNOW it doesn’t need a driver.

I’d also be interested in who the manufacturer is as the handbook suggests one goes to their website for updates - kinda hard when they don’t put their name on the brochure or the box !

hey i was thinking of buying a “walk-m8 2G MP4 player” and i was wondering would it be worth buying it?

can anyone help me out with the pros and cons on the mp3 player and any special feature and stuff like that...oh and does anyone know how long the battery life is before recharging?

thanx

Well so far I’m quite happy with mine. Bought from Strathfields in Artarmon near Sydney (Aus).

It does seem to use a strange video format however - not MP4 as the adverts say but rather AMV.

Also I cannot find ANY reference to the manufacturer in the manual - it’s almost as if Strathfields don’t want you to check the website for updates and info.

Searching on walk-M8 doesn’t bring up anything interesting but searching on AMV brings up references to several other players, that probably use the same electronics but are named differently and are in different cases.

I’m a bit worried if the device doesn’t charge via the USB port, I can’t see any other socket for a power supply.

i lost the usb for my 2gb walkm8 mp4 player, can any one tell me how to get another one.

If you mean the USB cable - it appears to be a standard usb to mini-usb cable - you should be able to get one from any electronics or photo shop.

thanks champ
