I can understand the frustration other reviewers might have had with this player -- for the first hour I felt the same way. The written instructions are so bad they're laughable, but once you pick up the basic button functions there's not much else you need to know. Just look at the pictures, don't try to understand the written instructions. I love the size of the screen and had no problem with the video converter (in fact, I use it to convert many videos to avi even if I'm not putting them on this player). And at its current price I don't know of another player with this size screen, memory, and SD add-on. Great for watching movies, clips, or anything you throw at it that it can convert to AVI. I'm surprised at the decent quality of radio reception (note that you have to use the headphones to use the radio because the headphones act as the antenna). Great for sharing pictures with friends. One drawback, it seems that only the supplied headphones will fit in the player . . . other headphones do not seem to go in the provided hole. Maybe there is an adaptor to make other headphones work. So I don't use this for mp3 play because the headphones are only average (recommend the Creative Zen for mp3 play). Also make sure you have the USB cord fully inserted or else you can't add files. Once the USB is fully connected, you can add the files with drag and drop (for video files, after using the converter). But I can't say enough about the size of the screen and the ease of adding movie files. Did I mention how much I love the size of the screen?

4.0 out of 5 stars Neat Little Player, November 5, 2009

Huge Screen, low price, long battery life. Excellent value for the money. Screen is a little dim even on the brightest setting. Depends on what you're watching but sometimes night scenes are a bit murky. Navigation is difficult, you have to hit the power button a couple of times for it to start up, the SD card is kind of tough to seat. I use my fingernail to push it down into place. If you have trouble with the conversion software that comes with it, do an internet search for vidrop, a free program that will convert movies to various players such as this one. This is an excellent price for such a big screen. I only use this to watch movies when travelling. If you're not familiar with this type of player you may be disappointed in the picture and sound quality. This is not an I-pod. If you are familiar with this type of player then you will be amazed at getting such a giant screen for such a low price. I've had mine for 6 months with no problems.

4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent value at $25, October 31, 2010

I got this last Thanksgiving at $25 shipped. I read the reviews and kept my expectations low, but I bought for a 4 year old to watch Scooby Doo during the 500 mile trip to and from daddy's house for visitation. Ding! Winner. Somehow it has survived a full year although I am not sure how much longer that will be. 2 complaints. 1) There is no sleep mode so if you pause a movie while making a chicken nugget or taco stop, you just lost your place in the movie. 2) Not really a complaint I guess, but the 2 GB limit on SD cards is pretty weak. Still you can save quite a bit between the on-board storage and the extra SD card. So bottom line: if it goes on sale for $25 again, get it as a cheap distraction for your younger kids for your next road trip!
