Christmas help

[jinnbake]

My children each got a RCA 8gb flash mp3 player for Christmas. It is supposed to be able to play movies too. It supports wma files and I can't figure out how to get it to work. I have done this many times with a Sony Walkman player but the RCA thing is not as user friendly. Please help!!

Is this by chance the RCA Opal? If it is I can help.

[jinnbake]

yes, it is!!!!

ok then, the native codec is XviD but I've played DivX on fine. So try generic DivX at 128x128 framerate or as close as you can get. More than one pass is pretty much a waste of time. Just plug it to the computer and open it up, something like "open to explore files" something like that or go to "My Computer" and there will be an Opal drive. There is a "VIDEO" folder and just drag and drop the DivX .avi there and you are all set!

[jinnbake]

thank you so much! I will try that.

You're very welcome and Merry Christmas! Let me know if you have any problems.

I have tried Generic (DivX) as stated above
yet still can't get my RCA Opal to recognize the video?

I am a new to ClownDVD mobile so excuse my igorance
downloaded the evaluation program last night and
am plaining to puschase if I can just figure this out

I use version 1.2.0.1, I can't make the 1.6.x.x versions work either. Just to be sure I just did a few chapters of G-Force and an older Star Trek that was close at hand and both worked perfectly. What is going wrong, any error messages and how exactly are you moving the file and where to?

First I tried to open Opal in Explorer
but there is no Video folder
So I tried to creat on but it dosen't show on player

Then I tried to transfer the file with RCA easyRip
but all I got is "Conversion Failed."

I downloaded RCA Video Converter
and was able to open and Play the video
but when I try and convert I get a Status of "Failed"

Ok, in Windows XP or Vista the Opal will show up in "My Computer" when you double click that and the storage volume will show up (the memory within the Opal) and you'll have to double click that to see the folder structure. There will be six folders and "VIDEO" will be one of them. You don't need any of those other converters, just drag and drop the avi you create with CloneDVDmobile to the video folder on the Opal, no other conversion necessary.
