Sansa recommends Rhapsody. But since I am on a tight budget, you know how it goes…
I need a FREE MVA video conversion OR a free Video Sharing/download program, BESIDES Limewire. Limewire does not have good quality video/movies.
As you can tell I am new to this, this is my First MP3 player.
Rhapsody is free, ffs.

AS far as the one writer wrote, do i just google a search for win avi programs?
But be aware that:
1.) This is not a free program.
2.) There are different programs for different formats.
3.) WVA format is not that common (I’ve never even heard of it), and it is not listed as one of the formats WinAvi converts.
thanks Tapeworm…I’m definitely realizing that WVA is not common at all. Like I mentioned, I’ve downloaded alot of different media conversion programs.
Most of them have 30% conversion trial, so at least I can try out. No luck so far.
My Sansa Fuze supports these files only…
MP3
, OGG
, FLAC
, WMA
, secure WMA
, WAV
, Audible
, MPEG4

Using the programs mentioned (Any-Video-Converter, WinAvi, w/e) convert it to a mpeg and then run it thru SMC. Thats what I do, never once had a problem.

I managed to get my video recognised by the fuze converting it only via the WinAVI converter; I simply installed the DivX 5.21 codec on my pc, then I choose the divx5 as the encoder, with the size specs on 224x176, and 20fps. The video is recognised and played by the sansa fuze, but it sometimes crashes…
I’ve also noticed that converting a video to avi via the SUPER video converter you can elude the errors of the SMC… it can convert such files without crashing!
hope this is helpful…
All this to watch a feature length film on a 2" screen?
Wow.
I mess around with You Tube and home-movie shorts but it’s hard to envision wanting to watch many complete 2-hour films on this thing! Yowza.
Blackdog,
Envision:
You are a 13 year old in the back seat on a 6 hour Interstate car trip.
You are a 17 year old with a 45 minute round-trip bus ride to school.
You are a 45 year old waiting for for 1.5 hours for a “while-you-wait” muffler change or 3 hours for your wife to emerge from surgery.
Steve Martin in The Pink Panther is just as funny on a 2" screen as it is in 60" HD. If you are watching Stand by Me for the 12th time, do you really need to see every detail to be entertained? The special effects from the complete first season of Lost in Space translate well to 2".
Expand your horizons,

I could understand comedy… You dont need to see it to laugh. But for an Action Flick I think bigger is better. I like Comedy Central specials on mine… ITs pretty easy and it doesnt actually require watching.

Yeah- I can envision that. And if it were a seamless process I’d probably do the same thing. As it is, all the wanking around with several converters only to get a file 2-3 times larger than a full divx avi file just ain’t worth it to me whether I’m 17 or 45. That’s where shorties and You-Tube work great. I also own a cool portable dvd player that plays avi (divx and xvid) files off a USB or SD card- as well as dvd’s…so that’s what I do. But you’re right, different strokes for different folks.
My older son was so frustrated with his Fuze that he sold it and bought an 80gb Zune. We have one program that will convert a DVD to a Zune compatible file. Put the output in the right place and you are done because it will auto-sync the next time you plug in.
Having SMC in the middle of this process is an irritating and unnecessary step.
sansa media converter doesn;t work, it has a problem converting the videos
it states that it has 1 unfinished video and ont he problem section, there is nothing. so sansa media converter is not an option, is there anything else except for that?
video4fuze

It converts Youtube and other video quite nicely (thanks to ffmpeg) - just copy the result files over to your Fuze and you’re done. They’ll even read off of external micro’s.

Can SMC be used on a mac? Where can I download it?
