My sansa e250 not play video files when connect to the system throug sansa video converter it tell your snasa not support video format

It looks like it plays a format called MJPEG at 14 fps. The SanDisk Media Converter comes with it, and can convert most popular formats to play on the e250.

Answer found by digging through Cnet's review.

maybe video formats not supported.
u can try this guide to enjoy video and music on sansa e250.

You can get the Sansa Media Converter from Sandisk's website.

You must use the Sansa Media Converter to transfer videos. If the video is DRM-protected (many of Real's movies are), it may not actually convert. But if the video is DRM-free, then the Sansa Media Converter will perform the conversion and load the video onto the player. The Sansa Media Converter may or may not recognize certain file formats, so you may need to download an additional program such as Riva FLV Encoder to convert the Real video to AVI format first - then the Sansa Media Converter will recognize the file.

you connect it to the computer then go to my computer

then find the sansa and right click then press format

Som music videos will never play on that Philips b/c of the copyright system. For all other videos, you can convert them to AVI format using Riva FLV Encoder, and THEN run them through the Philips Media Converter.

where do you pull your video files?

1) Make sure your MP3 player is connected to the computer 2) Go into 'My Computer' and find an Icon for the Sansa e250 3) Click it and you should see various files named 'MUSIC', 'PHOTOS', 'VIDEO' etc 4) Drag your video file into the 'VIDEO' file (only if it is compatible) If you have not converted the video file or it isn't a Quicktime Movie File (mov) then use the Sansa Media Converter, which can be found on the cd that comes in the box. I hope this helps.
