great improvemnet with firware update,
By
This review is from: ZVUE! Full Color Personal Video Player (Electronics)
This player does live up to it's claims in that it will play music and video. But a word of warning. UPDATE YOUR FIRMWARE!!!! The updated firmware will make this player fully functional, offer an improved menu, and eliminate bugs and lockups. I've formated severval divx videos using the zorg software to run on the ZVUE and it works very well. If the player only had an organizable playlist, I would have given it 5 stars. However that issue can be augmented with adding folders and proper numbering of files. Again, if you are going to be lazy and not update the firmware, which only takes about 10 minutes, you are not going to be happy with the ZVUES performance. UPDATE YOUR FIRMWARE!!!!
The ZVUE also is expandable with SD and MMC cards which can give you pretty much an almost unlimited amount of storage capacity. SD cards are pushing 4 gigs in size and are getting cheaper by the month. A 4 gig SD card goes for about 75 bucks from sites such as newegg and tigerdirect, with smaller cards going as cheap as 16 dollars. Order from there and they'll be on you doorstep in 3 days. Buy retail from a place like bestbuy and you'll get raked over the coals for over $100 for the same brand cards. Use your brain a little and you can take this little media player very far.

ZVUE is Tops for the Bucks!,
By Hull "gadget freakolla" (Orland, FL USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: ZVUE! Full Color Personal Video Player (Electronics)
Recently picked up a ZVUE at Sprawl-Mart. $90 bucks get you a very reasonable little pmp. I also picked up a 1GB SD card as the unit has no internal memory. Physically, the construction is a bit thin but the manufacturing tolerances are good. Once you put the four AA batteries inside, the unit has a nice amount of "heft." Screen size and resolution is pretty good and is very dependent upon the quality of the files to begin with. As far as Ogg music file quality, I'd say it's really good. There are no EQ settings, but the output is flat and transparent sounding.
The video function is the exciting part. I encode TV and movies with another device (Cowon A2) into asf files and then use Riverpast's Video Cleaner software ($30.) to resize the video for the ZVUE. It works excellent and have had no trouble. I have downloaded several google vids intended for ipod and converted them with the same software to avi and had great results. Since good feature films are not really easily found for mobile devices, I have been steadily builing my own library by recording them with my Cowon. I use the ZVUE to take with me because it's inexpensive and I would not be horrified if something happened to it or it was stolen. I am very pleased with the ZVUE. I hope the ZVUE people obtain more licensing for their site to support the distribution of actual current films and shows.

New firmware a vast improvement,
By Zipper (Northern California) - See all my reviews
This review is from: ZVUE! Full Color Personal Video Player (Electronics)
Shuffle mode and windows media support (and the fast forward works now)! And I am not seeing lockups anymore either... If it wasn't for the cover problem, this unit would be almost perfect. I use "FortyTwo" to upload videos on the mac side and it works well (this is a shareware program)
Overall it's a great player for the kids who lust after my iPod+Video and only 1/3 the price.
