New Media Player - DiscussWorldIssues - Socio-Economic Religion and Political Uncensored Debate

**UJRonald** · 02-22-2007, 07:51 AM

Just bought one of these 30GB media players for £99.99 brand new, which i thinks a bargain [thumbup] , was wondering - when you play divx movies on them, do they have to be reencode to the screen resolution or will it play them if there already encoded at like 640x480

What's the battery life like?

If you look at the manual, it should tell you what video formats it accepts.

It will be interesting to hear what you think of it when you have got to use it some more. At that price, it is very tempting.

Not got it yet so not sure, but on a review of it they said about 5 hr 30min for watching videos

Wasn't looking to get a media player but just seen it at that price, read a review of it which was quite good and bought it.

all depends how clever it is for £99.99

my archos av 500 can

still have to encode them to the right format though.

where is that from anyway?

**UJRonald** · 02-22-2007, 08:07 AM

about 3/4 of my videos are all in DivX now anyway, so hopeing i don't have to encode again - reviews here http://www.vnunet.com/computeractive...grundig-vp6200

Got it from the official site - http://www.grundig.co.uk/
