Hi, re your queries regarding converting to MTV format. I just bought a Tevion 4 GB Media Player - & it has a convertor to MTV format included with it.
To get a copy goto their support site, see

- & you can download it from there. Good luck !

Yep. You need to be running Windows XP v. 3.0.41 or better with up-to-date Garble drivers. Simply download & open the MP4 using “Rareware Converter” which turns it into an AVI file. From there you’ll need to reboot, so that when your computer restarts, it’s in BS mode, and the AVI can be rendered once the converter goes online and automatically summarizes the profile of your hard disk so that the online aspect of the converter can determine your computer’s connection type and file format system. Once you’ve done that, a screen will pop up asking what format you want the AVI converted to. There’s only one option, which is MP4, so you’ll need to convert it back to MP4 after which you’ll have the option of resending the rendered file to CanYouBelieveThis.com which converts it to MTV. The MTV file is then burnt to disk at the factory and snail-mailed directly to your postal address so that you can rip the MTV file from disk and save it. However, the default ripping format is MP4, so you’ll need to log back onto the “Rareware Converter” website so that the modified MTV file can be emailed to you at your convenience and downloaded to your hard drive and put onto your MP4 Player. Make sense?!

i need a .mtv converter for my trancend 840 mp4 player

Suggestion about the “unknown format”. I had that as well. cause i started it from the quick menu. when i was going all the way from the mainmenu where you can choose Musik Video E-book, etc. it worked. i just choosed the Video icon, searched for the file and it played. Other possibility can be that you converted it into the wrong size. Look in the manual what resolution the player has, or google it. Or try another converter. Like i wrote before, i needed to use an older version of the converter. or.. or.. or.. it took me a long and hard way to make my player play the videos. They are just too sensible... but they work... all it takes is finding the right way. Dont give up, be patient...

I had the same Problem (convert to .mtv). Than i tried out the MTV Video Converter version 1.12.11 and it didnt worked. But i also did try the version 1.11.4 and for some reason it worked. So i guess it depends on the player who need´s a specific converter. Also you must take care of the Settings 160x128, sports and good for example.

Check your player manual, find the tech specs.
follow the video tutorial below to convert video to your player compatible.

Found this when trying to find a mtv converter & a program that will allow me to view them in windows. Still looking - Anybody got any ideas?

my niece has 1 and the converter came on it .. i just installed it from off the player and although a bit slow .. works fine .. no idea about the lynux prob tho .. hope this helps

I really feel as though I’ve been ripped off. I bought my son a Coby multi media player last year, and the only thing we can use it for is music and picture files. The vid is useless since I cannot use any of the conversion software, as we only use Linux.
Would have been nice to know there is absolutely no way to utilize this feature, cuz I would not have wasted the money.
I bought my daughter a Tiger MiniMedia last year as well, but we can use the vid on that because there is a free online conversion to .amv I can use “called media convert”
I’m really angry about this useless mtv format and I want my money back, and I will fight coby for it (and then some) This mtv format should be discontinued and any and all people who were suckered into purchasing devices which only support mtv should get their money back.
