Hi there, I am looking for some advice. I recently bought a Philips GoGear SA3VBE08RN/02 MP4 player. I am quite happy with the product, and am able to play audio files no problem. I am however, having great difficulty in getting video files to play. I believe (the product packaging and website says so) that I should be able to play.mp4 files, but the only file which I can get to play is the one which was embedded on the player when I bought it. I have tried a) downloading other.mp4 files from the internet; b) several different conversion programs to convert video files I already have (.avi) to.mp4 ( including VLC player; ArcSoft MediaConverter 7; Xilisoft; AVS Video Converter 8.1), but still with no success. The Philips support people cannot help - all they have suggested is that I use their 'Songbird' program, which doesn't actually have a conversion feature within it anyway (at least I can't find one).

They did send me a webpage with the appropriate file specs within it, but I don't know what I am actually doing wrong: Could someone advise? Perhaps there is a better conversion program, or perhaps I am choosing the wrong options when saving the output file.? I don't really understand what the specs mean from the above webpage. Many thanks in advance! As Ebackhus has said - the codec is the important bit - when you convert the files to mp4 you will have to set the compression to use Motion JPEG as the codec - unfortunately there are many versions of the Motion JPEG codec, mostly variations by manufacturers meaning that their version is the only one that will work with their products. I have had a quick look and haven't found the Phillips one yet but will keep looking. Format Factory (link in my signature) is a good freeware converter which has a number of mp4 formats for mobile devices and has brand specific conversion presets listed under 'all to mobile' - it only has DivX codec listed (no other options) but may work.

You can try converting your files with different settings listed for mobiles - it won't alter your originals, just makes a copy with the new encoding. There are some commercially available converters that claim to convert to Phillips friendly formats - I'm not sure how effective they actually are - someone who has one of these devices and has used the software may chime in here To get the full specs of the files that work, download and install either or then xfer a copy of the sample file and open it in either codec info tool and post a screenshot here. Hi guys, Thanks very much for the replies! Thanks especially for the link to Format Factory and the explanation of codecs and the like - I was struggling a bit with that one on my own.

I am pleased to say I have now managed to get files converted and playing successfully on my MP4 player! It took a couple of steps - I discovered that once I had successfully converted the files, they still wouldn't play properly unless I used the Philips Songbird software to actually add the files to my player. Just dragging and dropping the files kept giving me the file error message. Don't know why that would be the case, as audio files drag and drop just fine, but anyway, it's working!

Thanks again for the help! Best wishes, Louise.

DO THE DORA DANCE, I DID IT, I DID IT, I DID IT YEAH!!!!!!! I'M A GRANDMA - BUT..... I figured it out quite by accident today - kinda the last straw to my frustration and lo and behold, I have my youtube converted videos on my Philips GoGear Vibe 4G. It was too easy and I feel really stupid but here goes and you will be quite amazed how easy it is.

If you find a program on the internet - free - to convert youtube to ipod - go ahead and do that. Pull up itunes and it should go in there - mine does automatically. Pull up the Philips Songbird which you should have already downloaded for your player, if not, just look up the Philips Songbird and download it for your player. Plug in your player in your USB port (if not already there). OK, now while itunes is up, drag the video you want into the video file of your player - just drag the file name into the big open box that is open when you click on GoGear Video. It will show downloading. At first you'll think, here I go again, but really, really, really, your videos magically appear on your player when you actually disconnect it and turn it on.

I'm no techy, but I never stop trying to get something right until I get it - and today I did. First: Get the video you want converted to ipod - easy, free programs on internet. Second: Open itunes (or it will open itself if you use it) and the video you just converted will appear in there. Step 1: Download the Philips Songbird for YOUR player and plug in your player so it downloads the applications and stuff to get it current.

Step 2: While in Songbird, click on the Videos selection that is named under Philips GoGear Vibe - there will be no videos there yet. Step 3: While that is up - itunes will be up too. Double click on the video you downloaded in itunes and DRAG it over to the empty listing of videos in Songbird. The video won't appear until it's downloaded but you can see the little timer beside the Philips word going round and round until it appears in the dragged list. There is your video. Disconnect your player and it will be updating and go to videos and there it is.

Just like magic. I am so happy. I'm not good at telling people how to do this so it may sound jumbled but I promise you it is that easy. All that time wasted on these other programs just to try to convert it, and there it was - two whole steps.

They're about $60 at WalMart.

I ran into this same problem with video. I googled and read all of these pleas for help. Then I got a directory full of random humor videos I'd collected off the net and tried to import them into SongBird.

Only 6 worked. So then I sync'd those 6 to the Vibe and they played just fine. So I copied off a couple of those 6 from the Vibe to my linux box and viewed them in Movie Player, then looked at the properties. It lists the video codec as 'JPEG Still images' 128x96, 30 fps.

The Audio codec was listed as DVI/IMA ADP. Something., Stereo, 22050 Hz. Anyway, here's the solution I found. It's actually really easy. Go get the Windows Freeware called Format Factory. At this writing, the latest version is 2.60.

Decrypt P File Matlab Functions. Then, inside Format Factory, select 'All to Mobile Device'. In the list of devices you'll find a section for Phillips and under there is a single entry called SAxxx. Select that, keep all the rest at defaults and convert all of your videos that you want to view on the Vibe.

By default, FF puts the resulting files in a directory called FFOUTPUT in My Documents. They'll all now be mp4's. Then just import that directory into Songbird's Media Library, and sync them to your Vibe. It'll convert them further for the device. I found that anything you can get compatible enough for Songbird to import, it can then convert for the Vibe. Good luck and happy watching all of your 2 hour long movies at 128x96!! I don't think my wife is really going to be doing much if any video on it.

I just wanted to figure it out for her cause the device said it was supposed to be able to do it..and I'm a techy. Hehe UtahDarkHorse Hi All, I just bought the 8gb Vibe deal from Phillips for my wife today. They're about $60 at WalMart. I ran into this same problem with video.

Its no t necessary for the audio quality, it works on mine. P/s: use the songbird to transfer the.mp4 file to your device. Use this online converter. It works for me.
