Hello,

Media players need the matching video format: for GoGear Vibe it is SMV.
To convert video from AVI to SigmaTel Motion Video, use the Media Converter Software from the manufacturer. For the videos you'd like to convert, be sure to update video codecs in Windows Media Player 10 or higher.

Vibe players have different display sizes, so you'll need the matching Converter for your player.
When you have the United States version SA5285/37 next site gives all support, including the Arcsoft video converter:

note
There's and update for the Arcsoft converter, for downloading directly YouTube films:
click on EXTRAS at the top right hand corner of the Arcsoft main screen.
At the pull down menu click UPDATE AND PATCHES, Arcsoft will check
and let user download and install the updated Stream Ripper feature
( streaming videos need flv video codec )

i think you should get a converter to help you reach it.
Video Download Studio from http://www.downloadvideos-convert.com/download-videos-music
have a free trial!

I think you need a third party software, just convert your videos to the format which support by your player.
Here is a detail tutorial about how to convert almost all popular video formats even high definition video for playback on your portable multimedia players such as iPod touch/video/nano/classic, Zune, iPhone, Apple TV, PSP, Xbox 360, PS3, Archos, iRiver PMP Player, Creative Zen, Pocket PC, and Mobile Phone etc.

probably if u bring it to the HQ or mail it to them they should fix it and send you it back.

you have to download the software copy it from there it will convert the file to correct one and automatically put it on your go gear if it is plugged in

If the songs are DRM-protected, the converter will not convert them.

i have that same problem but i think you have to go to a video website pick which videos you want buy them on the internet safe them to ur computer then upload them on ur Mp3 player

You must use the Philips (Arcosft) Media Converter to convert the videos. The program cannot recognize FLV files, so you will need to get a free program called Riva FLV Encoder to convert the FLV's to AVI first. Then the Philips Media Converter will recognize the files.
