Thanks. I finally got it to work and was able to rip two of my favorite DVD's although it took a long time.

There's no included software to do it. The best way is the probably use SUPER, a collection of open-source and freely available tools to guide you through the process, then use Windows Media Player or the Creative software to send the ripped videos to your Zen.

I've had better luck with Fair Use than with iriverter. Might be because I'm converting TV shows, which have more than one episode on a DVD. iriverter would only recognize one (random) episode per DVD, while Fair Use recognizes all of them. I also found that, although the default converted file size using Fair Use is 700 MB, I can reduce that to 300-400 mb without noticeable loss of quality. Thanks to all the people who posted with info on DVD conversion!

http://iriverter.sourceforge.net/This is a free program, which is fairly simple. If you have trouble using the software, post a reply and I should be able to explain it.

I have a 16GB Zen and I have almost filled up the memory. I purchased a 16 GB Transcend SD card to extend it, but it doesn't recognized the additional memory. Help!

Hey, I had the same problem getting DVDs onto my Vision. What you need are two programs that work with one another. AnyDVD and CloneDVDMobile. Do a Google search for them. AnyDVD actively disables the Copyright-protection on "any DVD" and CloneDVDMobile lets you choose what model MP3 player you have, what size you want to make the video, and what chapters off the DVD you want to convert. They give you a trial period that lasts about 20 days, so you'll have plenty of time. Check it out!And about getting videos period. I've aquired all my videos from media sites like extremefunnyhumor.com, ebaumsworld.com, and killsometime.com. Those sites typically have a link to be able to save the video onto your hard drive.

Hi... I was in the same boat, but finally found the manual amongst the software that got downloaded to your PC when you installed the played. When I installed the software, I got a set of folders which included one named "Creative ZEN V Series (R2).. Go into that folder, and you will find a folder named "Manual", and in that folder is a 497 kb manual.chm file. Just click on that.

But how do you go about putting videos onto your card. Can you just click and drag stuff out of your itunes library and drop them off in the Removable Disk "g" folder? If not please tell me in detail!

I use dvdshrink to rip my dvds. I purchased a codec pack for the Archos 5 on Ebay for about $30; that included all of the available plugins, not just the cinema plug in. (Archos wants $20 for each separate plug in.) With the cinema plug in, you don't need to convert your dvd files in order to watch them on the Archos 5; just drag the ripped contents to your Archos device and then enjoy watching. I really recommend paying the money for the plug ins. Having to convert every video you want to watch on your Archos would be a hassle, in my opinion.

you may have to delete one of the programs from the finalizing process! you may have noticed there are 2 ways to put stuff on the dvd, one way is more automated, the other lets you take more control. one you go from the program list and add them, the other you choose in settings to make a disc, that is the better way. best wishes

Would you mind posting the mencoder settings that you have settled on? I have lots of content in the form of MPEG-2 files that I would like to use on my Zen.Thanks!

This you use to digitize the video and you can use a DVD burning software to record multiple movies to one DVD. I think digitizing it is more helpful then put it directly to DVD. I never used the feature of putting it directly on DVD yet because I wanted to pick and chose what I wanted. Also if you want more than one movie on a DVD get larger capacity DVDs.

Hey Fusion, I'm just dissapointed really. I mean i filled my Vision M 30 to max capacity, and you cant find the 60 Gb's of the Vision M or W any more. I just need more space man, lol. And i've been in the zen nation for 4 years starting with my first, the Zen Micro 5gb, and i dont want to have to leave the zen nation, i love their products. But one thing confused me in your post, what does "lack of moving parts mean"?

how do you move files to the card? I have audiobooks on my player and I can not figure out how to move them to the SD card. Can anyone help?

There is a place to insert DVDs, but I have read that some people have had difficulty playing them. I have not tried to play a DVD myself.

I think the move to the mini-SD is a step forward and probably a necessary one. My guess, they simply didn't have the room to fit a regular SD slot and I wouldn't want one anyways. I much prefer the smaller mini-SD. Not like they are expensive either. I bought two 16 gb mini-SD cards for $20. I put one in my Zen X-Fi2 and one in my cell phone. It's only in the cell phone, so I don't lose it. It's actually storing more videos for my X-Fi2. I would have loved to see the X-Fi style with a mini-SD slot, not a complete lack of one. Guess I'll just stick with my regular Zen X-Fi for gym use and my X-Fi2 for everything else. Although, I do want to grab the 64 gb model.

Thank you Frolian. I've been trying to burn a DVD for a couple hours, and I didn't know until you shared. I have DVD+R DVDs. You're my hero!!

Hi Phil, can you elaborate on the question? DVD disc cannot play on a VCR player as it needs a VHS tape. Are you trying to say if the VHS tape can covert the file to a DVD disc? (that is more of an editing question than a product question). Or are you really saying can a dvd disc play in a regular dvd player?
