This uses sigmatel video files. You need to convert the files to smv files. You can use the easy rip software you can get at the RCA website. However I like using this free app. http://www.soft29.com/freeware/smv_converter.htm

Log onto the RCA website and download the RCA SMV Video Converter. The Opal only plays videos that are in one specific format. This converter will put your videos into that exact format (see Resources below).

Install the RCA SMV Video Converter once you have downloaded the software.

Open the RCA SMV Video Converter software to begin putting videos onto your RCA Opal.

Connect the RCA Opal to your computer using the USB chord that came with the device.

Wait until the RCA SMV Video Converter software reads that the device has been connected. You will know this when the bottom of the software screen reads “Player Detected: Opal 1GB 2GB.”

Select the “Browse” option to find any videos that are on your computer which you wish to add to the RCA Opal.

Click the box next to “Transfer output files to OPAL 1GB 2GB after conversion is complete” after you have selected all of the videos which you wish to convert. This will automatically add the videos to your RCA Opal after they have been converted.

Click the “Convert” box after you have selected all of the videos. The videos will automatically begin to convert to the correct format. Once they have been converted, your videos will automatically upload to your RCA Opal.

This device will only play SMV files. You will need to download two free programs Any Video Converter. http://www.any-video-converter.com/products/for_video_free/ And the other is http://www.soft29.com/freeware/smv_converter.htm SMV converter.
Instally both programs. I use any video converter and changed it to mpeg. After the file is in mpeg then I use SMV converter. I do cutom use the largest screen format and highest on everything so its full screen. And the quailty is a heck of lot better the the easy rip free program. Give it a try and let me know if that works for you.

Will tell you how to work around the easy rip.
You will need two free programs
1st program Any Video converter
http://www.any-video-converter.com/products/for_video_free/
It will convert the files to any output u like.
I like Mpeg 2
2nd program SMV Converter.
http://www.soft29.com/freeware/smv_converter.htm
Have this convert the file to a smv file.
After its converted just drag and drop into the video section of your mp3 player.

You can upload SMV files directly to the player.

1.) Download SigmaTel's Transcoder program, version 4.00 is the current release.

2.) Convert your AVI file. Use 128x128 resolution.

3.) Copy the SMV file to emo's MVIDEO folder.

Files in the wrong resolution will show in emo's menu, but won't play

What it meant to say was "NO FILE that I know how to play". Did you create .SMV files from your original videos? It's the only video format your player understands.

Converter software came with your player; if you don't have it, you can download version 4.1.0.0 of the SigmaTel transcoder here:

SigmaTel's website (http://www.sigmatel.com/) is currently missing in action (damn all Chinese manufacturers anyway). If it reappears, you should also be able to find the transcoder there.

your mp3 player supports the following :

1. Indeling: Sigmatel Motion Video (.smv)
2. Framesnelheid: maximaal 11 fps
3. Grootte: maximaal QQVGA (160 x 128 pixels)
4. .wmv ( Window media video-indeling, WMV 7, WMV 8, WMV9 )

your mp3 player should have come with a cd and on the cd is a special video converter app called : Philips Video Converter

you should be able to convert your videos in the right format with that.

try this now-free program...go to this website:

http://etronicsland.com/smv-mp4-player-video-conversion-converter-software-download-p-167.html

once you are there, click add to cart. then enter in your information (or make it up) and follow the steps, and you'll eventually get to a screen to download it. You basically enter in your information like your gonna buy it, but its $0.00 so its (obviously) free. I already did it myself.

Get another video converter and convert it to Windows Media Video (WMV) then convert it to SMV videos from there. IT works 100% Guaranteed.
