*UPDATE* I HAVE NOW ADDED A VIDEO SHOWING HOW TO INSTALL THE CONVERTER, HOW TO CHANGE THE MENCODER FOR AMD PROCESSORS AND HOW TO CONVERT VIDEOS.

Hope this helps....
***************
I COULDN'T get this damn thing to work at first. I couldn't put any videos on it. Well I couldn't even convert them to the correct format .avi
Even though the files I had was .avi anyway. The person who I bought this from suggest that I put the resolution to 320x240, Quality Normal and Ratio 4:3 he said it seems to be the best. So I tried but no luck. The damn AVIconverter program that can with it, kept saying error. Something about mencoder.exe
Was very frustrating.
Turns out that the files on the CD (mencoder.exe) disappeared once I installed the program. Reason being, it's not right for my processor.
I have a AMD Processor. So anyone else who has this MP4 Player and can not get the videos to convert, it's probably because you have a AMD Processor.
If so this is what you need to do
1)Install the software.
I created my own folder on the desktop "AVI Converter" and installed it all in there...
2)go to this link
http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=205275package_id=248631release_id=575226
and download
" MPlayer-athlon-svn-25962.7z"
3)After downloading it, unzip the folder on to you desktop.
You should now have a folder called
"MPlayer-athlon-svn-25962" on your desktop.
4)Open that folder and copy ALL the files in it.
5)Then go to you AVI Converter file, open it and paste everything in to there.
It will say this filename already exists, overwrite? or something like that, just click yes to all.
By doing that, you overwrite the mencoder.exe with the new one which you just downloaded which works for PC's with a AMD Processor.
Now it should work. It did for me :-)
If your processor is Intel and you have the same problem, then sorry I can't help you!
Overall this MP4 player is ok.
Yes the touch screen can be a bit frustrating and it's nowhere near as good as the iTouch, of course! but for those who can't afford the iTouch and are not really bothered about pressing the screen a few times, then go a head and get one lol.
I'm fine with it. The touch screen doesn't bother me that much and the only reason why I got this was because I can't afford the iTouch (yet) and I only wanted to have something to play movies on for when I travel!
Sorry about the quality of the video!

how do you convert if u have linux
I have no idea about linux sorry.
You did what... I laugh at your stupidity... xD
No wonder you bum ipod touch instead.
Who are you talking to?
"You did what" ....?
You Paid 70£ for a chipod lol.
Come on, did you atleast shop around.
I orderd mine yesterday 40£ with everything ^^
Did you see the date this was posted? I paid that much, which was stupid yeah.... but what I paid WAS the cheapest at that time.
You paid £40? for £45 you can get a 16GB 3" touch screen, you could probably even get that one cheaper now. The one I have, the 8GB you can get for under £30 inc. Postage.
The price I paid was including postage. That's why it was high also.
Mine didnt cost 40£ It was 29.99 including a years insurance and warranty...
My bad, and oh sorry. Thing is dont make the ipod sound like some big shot cause it aint, its a pile of shit. Google archos.
Well the iPod touch is one of those "either you love it, or you hate it" gadgets. I actually like it. I like the new version, the games you can get for it. However, I wouldn't purchase the iPhone! I already have a windows phone which I think is better. I'm not one of these "apple" fans, who think apple is number 1. Coz I don't. I just like the itouch. Archos is great also, I would like to have one. Maybe I'll get one when I can afford to do so.
cant afford?
I got 170£ cash this christmas and i brought one of these instead a touch.
Simple answer:
Apple sucks, archos looks like it rules - SONY AND MICROSOFT FOR LIFE!
