No video I have a gpx model ml638b and i cant get the video from the dvd to save to my device for viewing.

Here is a link to the official GPX ML638b page http://www.gpx.com/store/p/261-ML638B.aspx I think the link to Software Restore Utility has the drivers you need. (I'm not 100% sure)
The only difference between the ML648B and Your model is that yours holds 1GB and the other holds 2. Also the Letter at the end of the models name specifies which color it is, B for Black and S for Silver.
Movies must be an AMV file format see here for a full tutorial on that http://www.fixya.com/support/r2808906-videos_pictures_gpx The link has a video tutorial on what you must do step by step to begin enjoying videos.

As far as only playing the first couple of seconds of music, your player may be in Intro Mode. To remedy this, Play a song and hit the button on the side of the player, select Play Mode and then select Normal.

I hope this answers all of your questions and gives you a better understanding of this device.

The GPX ML638B takes only AMV files for video. you have to use the utilities tool that comes with it to convert video files. or find one online if you prefer. also you can download pre exsisting AMV format movies to load into it.
just be sure its in a USB mode and load directly onto the 1st area when you open its designated drive location. as for Mp3's no conversion is needed. simply load em onto the device. remember. video and pictures requre it to be set in USB mode (mode button on its side) and music out of USB mode.
while plugged into the PC on its screen will show USb on lower left of screen when its in usb mode. and wont show if its out of it.

you can download the Manual in English under the download tab . . . under the picture.

all you need to do is go to google and download a AMV video converter tool. once you do that put the video on the converter and start it. then click on My Computer, then click on GPX MTP Device> Removable Storage>. and then copy the video wherever the conveter saved it and then copy it. then paste it in the Music Folder on your mp3.

Ps. i am haveing a problem with charging it. i got videos on it but i cant charge it here is my problem...

all you have to do is turn off your device and hook up your usb cord to your device and to your computer

It will if it is a mini-USB plug. The mp3 has the mini-USB cord bundled, and can be used with anything with a mini-USB port. My cell has the same port, so I can charge it on the PC like the mp3, and can use the wall socket charger for the phone on the mp3.

Windows Media Player says that my ML638B is full but it’s actually empty. How do I fix this problem?

If this problem occurs then your ML638B needs to be formatted.

1. Connect your ML638B to your computer with Windows XP or later.
2. By default your computer will recognize ML638B as GPX MTP Device. Press the POWER button from top of your ML638B, to change it to USB mode connection. You will also see USB on the screen of ML638B.
3. ML638B will now mount 2 drives, one as Tools (as CD-Drive) and second as Removable Disk (Drive) – under My Computer on your Windows Desktop.
4. Right click your mouse and then select the Format option. When the Format Removable Disk window appears select the Start button to start formatting your MP3 player.

the solution to being able to delete songs and videos is to link the mp4 player to a host computer its the only way that i have found so far. for windows you go to my computer once the unit is linked and you should be able to find the device below the other drives it will say GPX MTP device and have a pic of the device. double click on the icon and then find the file(s) you would want to delete also before linking the device make sure its online device mode is media device NOT usb disk thank you
