When I start the Sansa Media Converter sometimes my Sansa Fuze won’t even show up (its plugged in, i have used the media converter before without this problem) and sometimes it will show up for a few seconds then quickly disappear. The first time I uploaded a few small 3 minute movies with no problems but when i tried to again (and again and again) it wouldn’t work… There is still alot of space left on my sansa… this happen to anyone else and how do I fix it?
I bought my daughter a Fuze for christmas and this is the first time I’ve tried to add video. I was fairly disapointed to find out it had to go through a fairly lousy converter first (thanks to this forum for that info) and I am running into the EXACT same problem you are describing above.
I’ve gone through the process 3 times now on converting a movie from .avi and about 2 minutes into the convertion (which seems to take a long time by the way) the Fuze disapears from the display area and it will eventually fail the convertion because “No device was found”. This is extreamly annoying.
Someone has got to know of a fix for this, we can’t be the only 2 people on here that are experiencing these issues.
Some notes:
I’m on the latest firmware for the Fuze as well as the latest version of the SMC.
First (recorded attempt, 4th try over all)
1min 30 sec till failure
0%->7% converted
0%->3% converted
Second attempt
3min 40sec
0%->10%
0%->5%
Third attempt
3min 42sec
0%->13%
0%->6%
Fourth attempt
5min 10 sec
0%->17%
0%->8%
It seems that each attempt gets longer and longer but dang, how many attempts till I get 100% completion…
