For the SA1VBE

For other models, try Google searching:

"gogear filetype:pdf"

Add the model number to the search string if you have it.

GoGear uses a certain format of video, so you must first convert your videos to that format in order for them to be reproduced in your player. First make sure you install Media Converter for Philips which is on the cd, if you don't have the cd you can download the software here http://www.p4c.philips.com/cgi-bin/dcbint/cpindex.pl?ctn=SA1VBE04AW/17&scy=us&slg=en Once installed, connect your player to your computer with the usb cable, then open Media Converter for Philips, add your videos to the software then click convert and it will convert your files and add them to your media player.

go to this web site or google it : http://portablemedia.manualsonline.com/manuals/mfg/sears/gc922_2_gb.html

i think you have to install some programs that dependent on your mp3 player. only that programs can add and remove your mp3 files inside like Itunes, only Itunes can add and delete some files on IPOD.

have a element gc840 was down loading music and the screen turned white and its stuck showing only a white screen,

Actually, ultimatum, this particular model does play both music and video files, though the latter must be in AMV format. The mp3 player should have come with a CD containing the conversion software you will need. If not, try googling 'WMV (or whatever filetype your videos are) to AMV converter'.

I do not think it is possible to transfer videos directly from YouTube to your player, but there is software out there that will let you "record" videos online and save them to your computer. These files can, in turn, be converted and transferred to the device via the included software.

Hope that helps.

did it come with software
do a google on your model and download the convert software
it probally has the format as cell phone videos but yours is probally easier.. you could just try a usb cable and port over to the folder where the videos and music is on,
rate me please

The GC940 DOES play videos. I have successfully converted movies to AMV format and played them, Sometimes the sound will however be a bit low.

www.soft29.com/download/freeware/AMV_Convert_400.zip

Use this program. Make sure you have the updated codecs on your computer, and convert AVI files to AMV, then move them to anywhere on your player. I use a movie folder, and rename them to the movie I want. A full 1.5 hour movie will take about 200-300 mb of space.

Please keep in mind that the movie does have to have an AMV extension, not MP4 or MPEG.

Codecs can be found here - www.free-codecs.com/download/K_lite_codec_pack.htm

Use the Sansa media converter found here - http://www.sansa.com/support/sansa_e200/troubleshooting

convert the files to avi format
