I'd ask this on a Creative Zen forum, but all support for this player has died out from what I've seen.
I've gotten into smart playlists (smart views) with Winamp. I also use it for videos. I'm trying to compile a smart playlist that lists all the videos I have to convert before putting on my MP3/Video Player (a ZVM). This should help me.look for videos I don't really care about in the first place.
One thing though. The ONLY real thing Winamp has to go by for figuring out what's needs changing is bitrate. There's resolution, but winamp doesn't count that (I don't think) These are the maximum thresholds I once recorded for my ZVM when it rejected a video on all fronts.
Video data: 736 kbps
Video resolution: 320 x 240
Total bit rate: 800 kbps
The thing is, I've had bitrate videos on my zen that were above 800 kbps. I know that because the smart view in winamp (anything above 800 kbps)I have now to test this idea is showing videos I already have on my player.
So I was just wondering, what's the maximum kbps video a ZVM can take? Does it rely on other things too?
