Hello,
The only software that usually comes with the Phillips GoGear VIBE players is Phillips Songbird.

You can download it here: http://www.usa.philips.com/c/mp3-media-player/gogear-vibe-8gb-sa2vbe08s_17/prd/;jsessionid=9A3D025F5616E2B33126E07BB10C0669.app101-drp3?t=support

Please let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
KYTechnology

The software is on the unit itself and needs to be installed. 2 ways to do this other than trying to find it and download from online
Method one: open computer (my computer) And you should see songbird registering as a cd. This I am finding to be normal when the software is on the unit. Just click on it as you normally would and follow the onscreen directions. Simple as that. Just a note songbird is outdated and does have issues on Windows 8/8.1. but is the only program I have found to properly format movies and transfer them to the unit.

Method two: You can download songbird whether from Philips (preferably) or from a 3rd party site such as Filehippo.com or majorgeeks,com
Do not use Downloads.com they do not check thorough for infected files. and have cost me hrs regaining my pc!!

How do i download videos to my gogear vibe

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 download-able via this link:

Good luck!
Thanks.

Not able to play video in philips gogear pls suggets

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:
http://www.p4c.philips.com/cgi-bin/dcbint/cpindex.pl?ctn=SA5285/37&slg=en&scy=US
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 )

Hello,

Support for GoGear Vibe can found selecting your model on next page:
http://www.search.philips.com/search/search?q=GoGear+Vibe&s=all&l=global&h=all&o=
Select your model from the list.

Under Software and Drivers look for the download of Philips Media Converter Software, in the support page matching your player.
Install and run Philips Media Converter for conversion and transfer of your videos.

When wanting to put videos of e.g. YouTube onto your player, first download the latest codecs for video:

Download and install the "directshow codec pack".
To start a download of video from YouTube, click the Internet Video Downloader.lnk icon in the right corner below of the computer screen.
