That would be a strange player.

But this link may help: http://www.answerbag.com/q_view.php/37358

Those are apparently Smith Micro files for a VideoLink player.

The only other smv files I see are for the Super Nintendo system, but they don't seem to be video files, just data.

All that above may be totally wrong. You might want to go the the player manufacturers site and see what they say.

Or save problems and return the thing if they don't at least give you a way to convert to what they support.

Or from MSI on this page http://www.msi.com.tw/program/support/software/swr/spt_swr_list.php?kind=6

This tool can allow you to convert video file from general format to SMV format.
Installation process:
1.Please download and unzip this tool.
2.Please execute "smv(en).msi" directly and it can be used.

It looks to be 4.66Mb, Hopefully it will do the job

This was my search term in Google.
".smv video files"

Good Luck

If it only plays smv files, then it isn't an mp4 player.

Hi! I converted to smv files but on my MP3 player only saund appears without any view.Where is the problem?Do you have any idea

What player? Model and manufacturer? Does it only play SMV files? I don't think anyone figured out what player the original poster had or if he ever got it to work.

But with more information, anything is possible.

And welcome to our forums.

My player supports only MP3,WMA,WAV,SMV & JPEG files.So I suppose it's MP3 player the model is M'Sonic MP-512F.But the problem is the same ..no picture appears only sound on my converted to SMV files.

here is a link to freeware that converts some video formats to smv :

http://www.trekstor.de/downloads/produkte/i-beat_pink/smv-transco ... 02_all.zip

easy to use but you may have to try out all the different settings before you find the one that works with your original video format and hardware.

I use a different version with this : http://www.machspeed.com/specs/mp3/onyx.htm
video (smv), mp3, jpg, radio, txt and it records sound via external mike or direct from the radio.
if only the screen was larger and it had more gigabytes.

You can download another version of the SMV convertor at the above machspeed link at the "Drivers" Link.

the problem for user XelesiA might be the (fps) not set to your mp3 player specs (ex. my coby mpc7097's specs are 15 fps at 128x128 i didn't set the video to be converted correctly so all i see is a black screen.)
