As chilibball mentioned, PS2 only support MP4 format files to be burned to DISC. So may be you need 3rd party software to convert the format. I prefer to use Aimersoft Video Converter for it supports all popular formats like AVI, WMV, MPEG, 3GP, M4V, etc. You can free download it for trial here:

MKV aims to be the leading standard for multimedia container formats. It is based on EBML, a subclass of XML. <br /><br />So if I want to play MKV files on my new iPad 2, it's necessary to convert MKV to iPad 2 compatible files.

Purchased new today, unsure of how to download free music of internet or vidoes onto it . Tried through the philips song bird with no success ,Marshall

Check the specification of your MP3 player to determine thetype of video file format it uses. Most common video files that MP3 players use are, AVI andWMV, there may be others such as FLV, MOV and DivX. If your player cannot play a video then it is anincompatible video file format, then you need to convert that video file to aformat that your MP3 player uses. Click on this link for instructions on converting videofiles for MP3 players :- http://www.fixya.com/support/r5874192-play_videos_mp3_player MP3 players can only play music files in mp3 file format. You need to convert your CDs to mp3 music files onto yourcomputer or download them from the Internet and then copy them to your MP3player.
You can do this using Windows Media player and Rip the CDs - Media Player willcreate a MP3 music file for each music track.

I can't play videos in my phillips go gear vibe sa2vbe04.

Your player can play video file if its format is suitable. If you install the Philips songbird software you can convert your files with it and the player will play them after files transferred.

The software is downloadable via this link:

Psp video playback

Hi. The PSP only plays a limited number of video formats; I think off hand MP4 is one. It will not play AVI formatted files, the most common type on PC for downloading.Check the file type of the movie you are trying to watch, by right-clicking on the file on your PC then selecting 'properties'. It should say there. Also holding the cursor over the file for a few seconds should show you the file info. I am unsure how to convert between video formats, you might be able to download something online that will do that for you.

I want to put a movie on my sony walkman. I have it converted and everything. When I go to watch it there is no picture and my sony walkman freezes up. I have 2 gb of free space left.

I'd say the problem is with the file. What format have you converted it to? The players will only play MP4 files as videos with a screen size of 320 x 240 pixels - anything bigger won't play. Try converting the video to iPod format (will still work) using a Youtube to iPod converter, which you can download for free if you "Google" it. But I would definitely say the problem is with the file - go in and delete it from your MP3 player and re-convert, if not re-rip or download the file. (Don't re-rip or re-download until you've converted it again, though)

My samsung yp-s3 mp3 player wont let me put videos on it

After 2 days of figuring out, I came with the solution today. Most probably your computer is running under windows vista. well emodio doesnt support such to do the transfer. What I did is downloaded a program (free) called "any video converter". All videos have to be converted in WMV extension file, so emodio can recognize and does the conversion to SVI ( the yp-s3 extension). So after you convert the original files into WMV files, take the converted files and add them into emodio. Emodio will convert it into SVI, but the transfer to the MP3 will failed. This is the magic:

close emodio. Leave your MP3 conected. Go to where emodio saves the converted files. When u go to that folder, you will see your files, but you can tell your computer wont be able to play it, as the files icon is just with a white background. Just drag it into the YP-S3 video folder and voila! Disconnect your MP3 from the computer, turn it on and enjoy your videos!!!!!!!!!!
