azn_boi,

Thanx.

 

Yea i solved it,if u download it from limewire watch it in Windows Media Player,Stop it,go to file then Save As,Save it to ur desktop,and then use Sansa Media Converter.

i still have no idea how to convert videos 10 minutes or more

 

Hey guys,
I'm kinda stuck...I just got my sansa e270 and tried to convert videos from Google video (.mpeg4) and transfer them to my device. However, when I try and play it on the Sansa a short clip of the music plays with no picture, and then cuts out. Any idea what could be wrong? If you know a way to put Google videos on the player please tell. Thanks.

 

I don't think google video is .mp4 . The ones I have saved are a .gvi format. The sansa is most compatible with .mov files although I have been able to format clips of almost any type. Enjoy....

 

Sorry...I'm not exactly an expert on this Anyways, when I download from Google, should I choose "Windows/Mac" or "Ipod/Psp"? Unfortunately, the file I download from either one doesn't seem to work. This is just a nice feature that I'd like to be able to use, so no pressure.

 

every movie i try to convert get's bigger then the source. like i had one map4 that was 44mb size that was converted by the sandisk media convert to a 332mb file that you cannot play on the e200 because he says it needs converting? also happened on an avi file of the simpsons?

any idea anyones?

thanks

 

Hey, I recently bought a Sansa, exicited you could put videos on it. I want to put a movie on (actaully it's an episode of a TV show) buyt on the DVD it's in VOD format, which doesn't work in SMC. How, step by step and using what programs, can I put in on my Sansa? (I'm not that good with computers).

 

Will someone please tell me why my Sansa e200 program converter will not pick up my mp3's? It will not let me into my songs at all through the program so I can convert them. It will show the file, but will not show the list of songs. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks ahead.

 

u don't need media converter for music. use windows media player 10 or 11. choose the sync function and have the player connected to usb........enjoy

 

Yeah, sorry I figured that out last night. It's only for video and pictures. I went through rhapsody and through the folder where my music is at. Neither one will work. Some will copy over to the Sansa, but some want. Do you know why some will and some want? They are the same formats (wma), except for a few mp3's and they did the same thing.

 

Please address my question.
How do I convert MP3 songs into Sansa e280. The Sansa converter program is not identifying the songs on my PC. I cnn able play the songs in Windows Media Player 10 and Real player on my desktop.

 

hey techstar
the sansa converter software is for video not music/mp3
if your using wmp10 to rip your music either drag and drop the music files from whatever folder you save your tunes too on your comp
(ie "my music") and drop onto the sansa
or you can have wmp sync/load for you
good luck

 

Please please someone help!!!!! I recently bought the sansa e200. I installed the sansa media converter software. It doesn't work at all. The splash screen shows and then that message comes which says that it has encountered an illegal operation and it gives me an option to either close or debug. Please give me the link to where I can download the proper software or it anyone has an alternative software, please give me the link. PLEASE!!!!!!

 

Hey All, I had a lot of trouble with the video conversion for the Sansa e250 but finally figured it out and signed up for Afterdawn just to post this. Anyway, like a lot of people on here I had a problem loading large video files without them breaking up into annoying ten minute clips. I finally figured out how to do it:

First download the Firmware updater from here: http://www.sandisk.com/Retail/Default.aspx?CatID=1376
run it and install. YOU HAVE TO DO THIS. The rest of this guide will not work if you don't.

Next open the file SanDisk_E200_MSC.apr with notepad. It's located in C:/Program Files/SanDisk/Sansa Media Converter/Profiles
edit ONLY the bold numbers to look like this:

Resolutions=208x160
DefaultResolution=208x160

The bold numbers are the ONLY ones you should adjust. Split time affects (obviously) at what amount of time the video is split.
The other two affect video quality and therefore file size. I personally have mine set at SplitTime=7200 (2hr. cut off) Videobitrate=35 (half of original) and DefaultVideoBitrate=2 (also half of original).

Next open the file SanDisk_E200_MTP.apr with notead. It is located in the same directory. Adjust the parameters to match those of the last file.

Finally restart SMC and run as normal! I hope this helps some people. Thanks to sracer and vidiot250.

 

I hav a problem,, when i am converting a movie using sansa media converter,,, the video and sound are breakin,, i mean the sound goes first and then the video... some body help

 

Hello

I managed to get a conversion of a video.

Issue.

The DivX file is 700MB (approx).

The MOV file for the Sansa is 636MB (approx).

If I went from an ASPECT ratio of ... 720x304 ... and the SMC changed it to a 160x208, should the file size not be a BIT SMALLER?!

Please educate me

 

I'm trying to modify the video split time on my e250r. Unfortunately the file that keeps getting mentioned on here doesn't exist on my hard drive. I do have a "C:\ProgramFiles\SanDisk" directory, but I have no "Profiles" folder in here or any ".apr" files located anywhere in the SanDisk folder. Anyone have any idea where this "SanDisk_E200_MSC.apr" file would exist then?

 

Ok I figured out that you have to modify the DeviceConfig.xml to get the video file to not split into parts. My next problem is that when I tried to watch the movie on my e250r, the video lagged slightly behind the audio, but when I opened the movie file from that is on the e250r on my laptop, it played just fine. does anyone know how to fix the problem of the lagging video?
