Hello,

All support for the SA6045/02 is on this page:
http://www.p4c.philips.com/cgi-bin/dcbint/cpindex.pl?ctn=SA6045/02&slg=en&scy=GB
Scroll down to Software and drivers to see the Media Converter software.

Click the zip file and best would be to save the file to a location on your computer.
After the download finished, unzip the file with WinZip or Winrar.
Open the folders of the extracted files:
under folder
MC_2.0.2.80_SA33xx_SA61xx_Intl_GM_CD02004_0928 start Setup.exe to install Media Converter Software, ArcSoft.

MediaConverter for Philips converts following formats to player, into WMV :
AVI (Microsoft video I format), MPEG-1, 2, 4, DVD (*.vob), MOV, WMV, RM etc.
Needs Quicktime (for MOV) and Windows Media Player 11 (for WMV)
installations.

When in doubt, do what the message says.

You have to use the Philips (Arcsoft) Media Converter to convert/transfer videos. If the converter is not recognizing a specific video type - FLV, for instance - download a free program called Riva FLV Encoder and convert the videos to AVI format first. Then the Philips Media Converter will recognize them.

The Philips Media Converter is not capable of converting an entire DVD - you will have to acquire video editing software, and then break up the DVD files into 15-minute chunks, and then convert each chunk.

If you are getting a codec error, do a google search for free video codecs - they are out there. Windows Codec Pack and downloading the latest version of quicktime will give you most of these needed codecs.

This player is not capable of playing copyright-protected videos - so don't even bother with them.

Additional information is available both from Philips website and from Arcsoft's website.

Where can I get the Philips video converter application?

First, you need to know what video format can your device support. Then you can search for a video converter to convert your video to that format. And it is not necessary to download Philips video converter, most video can do that.
Just google for a best video converter, you can choose one you like.

Hi, i am unable to view my videos on my Philips mp3 player (GoGear). The message on the screen reads; Use the philipsvideo converter application to convert files to a format that a player can read. Please...

Check the specification of your MP3 player to determine thetype of video file format it uses. Most common video files that MP3 players use are, AVI andWMV, there may be others such as FLV, MOV and DivX. If your player cannot play a video then it is anincompatible video file format, then you need to convert that video file to aformat that your MP3 player uses.

My player is telling me non-support format use the philips media to convert file in device i don't understand

Hello,
When the GoGear 6045/02 4GB is your player, on next site all support is available:
http://www.p4c.philips.com/cgi-bin/dcbint/cpindex.pl?ctn=SA6045/02&slg=en&scy=GB

For getting the matching files, your player understands and will be able to play, media has to be in a certain format. Format meaning the lay out of a media file.
When files do not have the right format, there's a converter needed that will convert most (not all) files into the fitting state.

Look in the support site.
Consult the manual for the format a file should have.
Use the Media Converter to convert files, that can be and need to be converted first.

Need more help ? Just post a comment.

Converting file to video format ( i.e. SMV format)

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