Unable to convert video for i.Beat emo - Trekstor 74412 i.Beat emo MP3 Player

Hei, i just solved it by plugging it to my computer, then running the firmware updater which you can download from here: http://www.trekstor.de/en/products/detail_mp3.php?pid=78 Select topic(mp3) product (i.beat emo) and language. Download the drivers and tools and if you want to watch videos the transcoder. Install it and run it. Update the firmware and tick the option "Format data drive" and hopefully it helped, cause it did for me. :)

You have to use the "transcoder" software that came with the unit or can be downloaded at the trekstor website (www.trekstor.de). The transcoder converts the videos to SMV format for viewing on the unit. Videos must be saved under the MVIDEO folder in order for the unit to find them.

you have to convert your files into .smv format. those are the only types os videos that the player will play. your music player should have come with a cd and that cd contains a program that will convert your videos into .smv format. if you dont have the cd, you can download the program from the trekstor official website.

start i.beat and then press alt/space to see menu

That is pretty easy...
when you get pictures, they need to in bmp format, or any
other format pictures are in. Just copy your pictures to the picture folder in your trekstor( plugin your trekstor to your computer) and paste in that folder. You don't need to convert anything for this process.

You can upload SMV files directly to the player.

1.) Download SigmaTel's Transcoder program, version 4.00 is the current release.

2.) Convert your AVI file. Use 128x128 resolution.

3.) Copy the SMV file to emo's MVIDEO folder.

Files in the wrong resolution will show in emo's menu, but won't play

The video may be glitched or the memory is full. Try unlocking the unit by pressing the reset button with a paperclip. It's located just below the on/off switch on the right side.

This depends on bit rate or quality and format. If wma then more space will be required. I use 192k which is the highest rate. I can put 3 hollywood movies from my purchased DVD's and store them on my emo. I do this in Ubuntu, the new African Operating System. I first convert the DVD to Mp4. Then I convert the Mp4 to SMV with a program http://www.cs.bgu.ac.il/~yurac/interests/smv-encode. This program allows you converts mp4 to video.mp4.smv. Emo can hold six motion pictures at high quality due to its 2G storage. But, what I do is use 1GB for video and 1GB for music. I am 50 years old and work at a customer service center. On breaks and at lunch I can listen to fm stereo, mp3 from cds, motion pictures from DVD in smv format with high quality, look at pictures from my photo album and of course do voice editing at work or on the road. I can upload the wav dictation files at full quality to my computer and email them to whomever. Camcorder files can also be converted to SMV video this is important.
