Hi guys,

I am looking for a simple PMP player that do not need the troublesome video conversion when loading videos into the player. I do know ipod requires some kind of software to do so and creative requires a video size conversion for its Zen X-fi which takes hours before I can put a video into the player.

Looking for something that cost around $300 for my sister birthday. Any ideas?

I miss the old days with creative zen vision M. Just put any video in and you can play it all.. lol.

Doesn't exist.

Even Creative Zen Vision M doesn't "put any video in and you can play it all". Try a H.264 MKV and see it choke.

The most you can is to streamline the conversion process and make it painless to convert. Converting also saves space and provides better picture quality.

There is no pmp that supports every format/codec. But there are bunch of pmps out there which plays almost every format. But i think with ur budget, its impossble to get one. They will easily cost over 600

The Samsung P3 can play quite a few formats without conversion. Check out http://media.generationmp3.com/lebel...cification.xls

there are many pmp player around now that support many formats. all is drag and drop without the need to convert it. mostly will cost you not more than 250 bucks for higher end.. search around..got ppl actively selling it right now.

I think it depends on your video more.....

If your video resolution is a lot higher than the PMP screen resolution, you would need to convert to a compatible resolution....

I think a lot of no-brand PMP does support a lot of formats without needing to convert....
