I'm going to Halifax soon and I'm planning on putting some videos onto my Hip Street mp3 player to watch on the way. Though, after doing some research, the HS-7334-4GBMX model (which I have) needs the videos converted to .mtp files or something. Though, me being the idiot that I am, I tossed out the little tiny CD that came along with it which HAD the mtp converter. lol. I don't even know how to run those little CD's. :eh:
Anyway, I'm in desperate need of one of these mtp converters. It seems that WinFF nor Any Video Converter doesn't do these conversions..

Help? :(

I heard that it will also play .avi format videos, which is a common format. Most converters should be able to do that but if not I finf that http://www.zamzar.com is great for free file conversion, you upload your file and then they convert it and email you the new format.

I uploaded the videos in AVI already and it came up that it was an invalid file. :o
I'll try Zamzar, though. Thanks. :)

Usually if they're gonna provide you with weird little proprietary stuff like that, it'll also be on the website. Try there.

Oddly enough, the file converter isn't on the site. o_O

This may help; there's a free trial available, but I don't know how limiting it is.
I just heard that another thing that limits the files is that the player only supports the MPEG4 codec, which I think refers to it's audio. So if something was an .avi file with an MPEG4 codec it may work.
