First, do you want to play games?
If yes, PSP
If not, theres only Vision M and iPod
My recommendation is always iPod. Many people think that encoding the videos to play on iPod is tiring, but its actually rather easy if you have the correct softwares. The videos are very clear.
Vision M, same user interface as iPod I think. Its a local brand and Creative is known for good sound quality. Not sure about video quality but it should support more video formats than iPod, saving time on the encoding part.
Its only between these 2... PSP cannot really be counted as a music player, more for gaming and its bulky. Plus the games are expensive -
DVRs from Archos can record TV progs off Cable, play music, store/displays photos, play vids.... rather expensive though. Available at SLS. MemoryWorld is the main distributor.

I am trying to find a good PMP player.....

Never get a creative. Its design sucks and the customer service is the worst around. Apple is famous for its good after-purchase service, and PSP has lots of features and if needed, you can go for it.
Never believe it when they say you should buy creative and support local brand. Other than the CEO, all your money goes to other countries as Creative's base and factories are all not in Singapore. -

Another will be the video player of Apple, called Quicktime. Its free. After that just search for the serial or *ahem* PM me for the serial and instructions to enter the registration key, which will upgrade it to pro version and allowing you to encode videos.

ooh .. hehe ... thanks ... when the top one can't work i will pm u ...

Which player can play muilti-format video, e.g. rm,rmvb, avi, or even dvi?
-
PSP is definately the best for visual. However, its size and portability is a problem
Zen Vision can play a lot of video formats, and is the cheapest
iPod Video is my favourite, other than cool design, its got this special format from Apple thats stores a video file 4 time smaller in size but twice clearer. Though this format can only read by iTunes now, you can easily convert videos of all formats to this particular format either through iTunes or online freewares -

Ipod video at 30GB cost $548.
I guess it is clear which one one's will choose. -
rm and rmvb files can only be played by realplayer. VLC player can play more video formats than any other video players I know.Originally posted by babymac13:Which player can play muilti-format video, e.g. rm,rmvb, avi, or even dvi?
The video codec is H.264. Its extremely powerful, but it still can't match up to Real Media format's quality.Originally posted by chenc:PSP is definately the best for visual. However, its size and portability is a problem

Using H.264 codec, the video may be only 320x240 res but when increased to full screen, its still very clear. Impressive -
So ... ipod wont be able to play rm and rmvb files? Or it can be encoded ... =))
-
I don't think theres any portable video player out there that can play rm files. You'll have to convert it first. I tried RM Converter but the encoded videos often have errorsOriginally posted by Rustyhong:So ... ipod wont be able to play rm and rmvb files? Or it can be encoded ... =)) -
Ooh .. hehe ... Thanks ... i guess i am getting a ipod video.

Did you know that plug in an iPod and Real Player will pop up and you can use it just like iTunes?Originally posted by chanff8:I don't think theres any portable video player out there that can play rm files.

Yes, iPod can play Real Media formats, just go to real to install a plugin -
Just bought the 60GB iPod 5th Generation but having serious troubles with the videos... All the videos that I put in all no comes with no audio... Damn... What a headache...

What encoder you use?Originally posted by Hir0shi:Just bought the 60GB iPod 5th Generation but having serious troubles with the videos... All the videos that I put in all no comes with no audio... Damn... What a headache... -
I tried the Videora already, it's working fine. Thanks.
The problem now is, I don't have problems with PVs and short clips, but when it comes to uploading the whole movie, the problem comes.
EG. I put in the whole episode of Superband, which is about 1 hour and 45 minutes. Everytime I play for like 20-25 seconds it will stop for 5 seconds, and continues without sound. Meaning every time when I wanna resume I must click on 'back' and then click on the file again to resume the sound and the video.
May I know why is this happening? Could it be because the file length is too long? Maybe I should split it into 2 or 3 parts? Anyone ever tried putting in a movie before? Or the problem lies on the Videora converter?
Please advise.
Thank you. -
i will choose PSP... cause sian can play games... tired just switch on the music and zzz...

i find that many people actually regretted buying an ipod. reason being, many can't seems to fill up even half the capacity of a ipod example 20Gig. even if they do fill up, come on seriously, how long at 1 go can u listen up to 20Gig of songs in 1 sitting.
secondly, they regretted buying so soon as newer or cheaper vision came out within the next few months, like the ipod nano. they will feel their old model is obsoleted. -
I've convert many of my movies into iPod format, no problems. Its probably your original Superband files. Are they originally in avi format?Originally posted by Hir0shi:I tried the Videora already, it's working fine. Thanks.

It actually depends on how you maximize the functions of it. Most people only know it can store MP3s and videos. Ask them what is podcast they'll go "huh?" Some do not know how to convert videos so mainly listen to MP3s only.Originally posted by Gordonator:i find that many people actually regretted buying an ipod. reason being, many can't seems to fill up even half the capacity of a ipod example 20Gig. even if they do fill up, come on seriously, how long at 1 go can u listen up to 20Gig of songs in 1 sitting.

My iPod is already filling up with the 'support' of podcasts. My friend uses his iPod to 'steal' other ppl's music libraries.
For your last point, you just have to ask the Apple geeks around you when is the next product release
