Zen Vision M

[SD]

Hi,
I am getting a new Zen Vision M which supports video formats : MPEG1/2/4-SP, WMV9, MJPEG, AVI, DivX, XviD.
I am new to this and have been reading as much as I can here but I am not sure what is the best way to convert all of my flv music files and which type is the smallest file size with good sound quality.
I played around with "Super" today and I had a hard time to get the sound to sync up with the video. I tried all the frame rates but it was always a little off.
Does anyone have any advice for me on an easy application to use and which of the above file types would be best to use. The player only has a 30 gb. hd. and I want to load it with all my flv files once they are converted.
Thanks very much!

Are you using latest super build 21? if it wont work you have several others methods,

or other tools like Total Video Converter, WinAVI.

I would convert to xvid.

My experience with FLV files tells me that transcoding them is far from an exact science even with the best software. Don't know how saavy you are (or want to be) but a less easy but potentially rewarding way may be to first demux the FLV file with FLV Extract. The results will be an AVI and an MP3. Then create a simple AVISynth script and use MeGUI to transcode and mux to Xvid. If you're not inclined to endure AVISynth's learning curve you can also use VirtualDub to transcode and mux the AVI and MP3 to Xvid. Mileage will vary.

For WMV9 I use WMNicEnc which also requires AVISynth.

AVISynth offers great flexibility for correcting A/V sync issues.
