Sansa Firmware Updater/SMC Windows 8 compatibility

The Fuze+ does not require the SMC (Sansa Media Converter) to convert videos for it. That was one positive thing SanDisk changed from previous models, like the (original) Fuze and the e200 series.

So any free video converter should work for you. In fact, I believe there’s a good one called simply Any Video Converter. I think there’s a paid and a free version. A lot of people also recommend Video4fuze which was actually created by someone on this forum some time ago when he was frustrated by all the flaming hoops one had to jump through in order to convert a video successfully for the original Fuze. Ir should also work fiine for the Fuze+ model.
