hi dudes and dudettes, here’s how you can view and burn a dvd copy of movies from limewire or others that has a .avi file extension. first download a codec package or cccp. next d/l a divx player to view the avi movie...forget using media player...it won’t play most of it. finally, if you’d like to make a dvd that can be played by all players, you must download an avi-to-dvd converter. for you cheapskates, you can d/l avi2dvd for free. it’s functional but need a little patience and takes a long time to convert. then there’s dvdsanta that works for most operating system but will generate error messages due to software conflicts on some. but to make your life easier, download the best — go to www.winavi.com and download WinAvi which is the easiest to use and fastest to convert — under 1 hour in most cases! case closed!

quite few mp4 make it to the market from mainland china but the problem is,that a lot of them using recycled memories and some are restamped too lol
so its a lottery.try to buy from someone nearby or local whos got a good rep and offers moneyback or replacement in case you’ve got a fake.
i got lucky couse mine actually formats to 1.95 gig under winxp.
the other thing you can do is to open the player, check the FLASH TSOP (usually samsung or hynix)
and check the number on it and look it up on the net.
Both manufacturers has their flash chips listed.
if you are good with the soldering iron then buy a bigger chip cheap and change it.
go to forum.s1mp3.org for the lowdown on these matters
good luck to ya all

I recently bought a 2gb mp4 with 1.8 inch screen on Ebay from China and it is actually 2gb, I have loaded 1.6gb of movie and mp3 files on it and still have room. It is not a real mp4 as you have to convert the files to amv for which they provide a program, but at $40 plus postage it is reasonable.

Perhaps we should begin to refer to Chinese memory as “crapacity." Sure seems to fit!

How do you know? It may be, but apparently people who buy the 4-gig version think they’re transferring tons of files on their devices until they begin to play them back. Then everything goes to hell in a handbasket.

Many Chinese mp3 players are probably okay, but I’ve noticed only the eBay models are advertised as 4 gigs. If you do a Google search you’ll find Hong Kong MP4s are maximum listed as 2 gigs. None is 4 gigs.

Okay, apparently I’m having the same problem with my S1 MP4 player (Chinese). You can format into FAT using Windows and I’m still trying to work out the best allocation units size (partition). Best so far seems to be a partition the same as its capacity that way there is only one partion. For instance, mine is 4gb so I set the allocation unit at 4096. Heres how: Plug in MP4 player and make sure hardware is installed and good to go. Check drive letter in my computer to be sure you format the right drive. Mine actually shows up as F and G but only the F is the active 4gb, G is 1mb and inactive (?). Go to control panel, then administrative tools, then double-click computer management. Double click on disk management under storage on the left side of screen. All recognized hard drives will show up. Right click on the drive that is your MP4 player and click FORMAT. Choose FAT file format and set the allocation unit size (not sure what this needs to be yet, if this will indeed work). Format it, then when its complete go ahead and transfer your files. Just use folders in the root drive with no subfolders and no more than 99 files per folder. Be careful, it appears that the number of folders is limited, to like 9 or something (?). hopefully this will help..

turns out my mp4 player was a hack. formatting didn’t help. it was advertised on ebay as a 4gb but after checking out the memory chip turns out it is only 512mb. What a rip. I would suggest to others out there to take a look at their mp4 player and see what the mem capacity really is. These things can never be over 2gb, so if yours says its more, like 4 or 8gb, you got screwed. here’s two links so you can learn more:

You have some good information there, but you are wrong about the allocation unit. The 4096 is not GB, but BYTES!
The highest allocation unit you can set is 64K and even thats not close to 4GB. This allocation unit does not decide how many “Partitions” you have on the drive but simply the file allocation partition size which is used internally by the system to allocate space.

I am experimenting with the Unit allocation size myself.
