You should get Aimersoft Zune Video Converter. It's free, fast, converts to tons of file types, and has some extra features such as cutting out parts of the video. You can download the free trial (which has all the needed features) at http://www.aimersoft.com/zune-video-converter.html

That is too bad about cucusoft.I downloaded various video to my zune with that program and it worked better than I expected.Maybe you should delete it from your zune and backup on your computer and copy it over again and reload it to your zune.good luck.

I used to convert all my .wma files to .mp3 using Windows Media Player. Apparently, the Microsoft gods have now eliminated that feature. I do own NERO 12 but I'm a novice NERO user. I did a little research (before writing this response) using GOOGLE and NERO 12 is indeed supposed to be able to do this conversion, according to some users. I would suggest you ask someone with more experience. I bought NERO because I used to use a stripped down version of ROXIO. Recently, I had to reload my WINDOWS 7 OS and all of a sudden ROXIO would not work with the reinstalled WINDOWS 7. Hmmm? Go figure. That's why I went to NERO. Still learning NERO. Sorry can't be of more help. As an aside, these media packages (ROXIO and NERO, and others) have gotten too "bloated". They try to do too much. Users get lost easily. We just want the basic stuff, done cheaply. I'll climb down from my soap box now.

Windows Moviemaker is junk. Toshiba included the wrong version of MediaImpression in my package but ArcSoft upgraded it for free. It is a decent program. I dub most of my videos but my Camileo produces a very low level audio that needs boosting, for which I have used Avidemux. If you choose to dub, I recommend Audacity.

You are encountering a common and easily fixable problem. DVDs encode audio with the Dolby Digital codec (AAC). The Zen does not support this encoding because the codec is proprietary, thus expensive to license. Makes for a bit of extra work sometimes but it makes the retail price cheaper. Anyway, just tell your DVD ripper to convert the audio to the MP3 codec. If you need to, download the free Lame Mp3 codec pack. Luckily most movies and videos that you can download on the internet use Mp3 audio. It doesn't really even make much sense for a portable media device to support high definition, surround sound audio. Unless you plan on carrying half a dozen speakers and a subwoofer onto the morning train. You are encountering a common and easily fixable problem.

Hi! I tried an a couple of .avi files, and had the same issue with only getting the sound portion on one, and nothing on the other (they had been written by different programs.) Then I tried using the DivX converter on one and it ran fine (though to be honest, the picture was pretty bad!) I haven't bought the converter software, just a 15 day free trial of it, and plan to try the Xvid freeware first. Does anyone know where to get free divX downloads?

How do I even get the video onto a dvd? When I play it in Quicktime, it plays sound but no movie. When I use Windows Media Player, I get video but no sound. What am I doing wrong?

Ok so if they fix the problem but my Zune won't even get past the load screen without freezing, how will I be able to download the patch they come out with to fix the problem? They way I see it, my zune is now a $200 paper weight.

I recommend you download the Zune software at Zune.net and try it before purchasing the device. (You have to use the Zune software to "sync" your music to Zune device.)Zune supports mp3 and wma (as well as AAC), so you can transfer them easily if they are not DRM-"protected". (The Zune software only adds DRM-"protected" files from the Zune Marketplace to your Zune collection.)FYIhttp://forums.zune.net/242458/ShowPost.aspx

I prefer to use DVD-RW media...it also works. But as the previous poster said you have to finalize the DVD in the recorder. After that you can use any DVD player.

I havent tried making dvd yet but the video format MTS is directly playble on media players like vlc , and can be edited directly by adobe premier. I will try burning dvd then let u know. I have not installed the accompanying software Everio browser as i have not yet got hold of the instalation dvd its lying with my friend . and there is no download available for the same. This is annoying.Camcorder quality functioning is good so far.no complaints.check prices at various sites before buying as there is not of difference

For one thing that I discovered a bit too late is that the DVD -R are hit an miss. A lot of people have had success with them, and I and a number of others haven't. I bought a package of 100 dics and not one works. I can store to them, some of them, but later can not access them on two different laptops including the one I used to burn to. I am now using the +R without issues, so far on the same laptops, which are ACER Aspire's: one running Vista and the other running WIN 7.

yeah, The zune program has to convert it, and that willtake some time. Other than that you just drag and drop or let zune scan your hard drive. you won't have a problem

the 2.2 software is an excellent upgrade. i like the superior integration of podcast in the PC software and zune.to the problems with the library above: that was an issue for some (i didn't have any problems by telling the software to rebuild the info during load), to correct afterwards only required the deletion of the zune specific file folder with the information contained and allowing the information to be rebuilt with the new software. instructions can be found in the microsoft zune support, or knowlege base.
