Genus MP4 player £49.99 @ dixons (merged)

i have previously posted this but, for you...

try

DVD Decrypter - this rips the dvd to your HD
then
PSP video 9 - this turns it into the right resolution and into an mp4

there are some really good how to's if you google for them.

refering to a previous poster, set the resoultion to 208x144, as this will make the files even smaller, also in the dvd decrypter, set it to split up the rip to 500mb chunks as this is helpful due to the fast forward not being very good on the viso1.

dvd decrypter outputs vobs, then psp video 9 turns the vobs into mp4's

i've just done war of the worlds into 3 chunks of about 200mb each. great.
its still a bit long winded, but anything better than this probably comes in a box from a shop...

hope this helps

big thanks to the OP. The staff were well impressed at the offer and hadn't known a thing about it :-)

Thanks to the OP, I managed to get one this morning, however I didnt get the cables and case boxes with mine? should I go back and query it?

I've managed to transfer recorded tv from my media centre pc to my Vizo, but there's no sound. Can anyone help? I used Videora Ipod converter which is almost the same as PSPvideo9 I think.
I do get sound if I rip from a dvd using dvd decrypter and then using Videora.

yes.... what have you got to lose, just tell them they would have known the extras cames with the vizo cos as people have been saying they arent knownigly telling people about them it seems to be only if you mention it to them. so go on go for it.... especially as you just bought it this morn

Folks
Whats all the fuss about this player ????.Went to buy one this morning plenty in stock at my local dixons,decided against it .You need a magnifying glass to see the screen its tiny!!. Decided to pay a little bit extra and get a watchable screen!!.Already got a 1gb mp3 player which i picked up for £25 .Am I missing something here or was I looking at the wrong thing??

Plus it tells the staff on the screen that the items come together as a package - so it is rightly yours.

Hello All,
Yes went back and got cables box and case!!! the guy who served me didnt realise, but one of the other members did know and got them! although, I got the last case they could find and they still had another 4 or 5 machines in stock - so the next person who buys will be unlucky and not get a case.

Many thanks to OP and to all!

Hi,

Got two of these this morning, however neither of them seem to be charging. There is no led lit when they are plugged in, and if I turn the screens on the battery indicator isnt animated like you might see on a mobile. What do you guys see when you have it plugged in to the charger?

Also, if I push the charger cable all the way in the screen goes nuts, it seems to have to be just sitting away from the edge of the player.

Any advice?

cheers

i am gonna ask a real silly question..(sorry about this) have you got you power supply plugged in the correct hole cos i have recently bought 4 and they are all fine but mistakenly at 1st my son plugged his in the wrong hole thinking cos the adapter and the hole was yellow and didnt realise the dc hole was for the power supply:o
