Know anything useful about the Creative Zen Vision M?

Question

ok I was looking into buying a video mp3 player and the Creative Zen Vision M 60 GB is looking pretty good. But the last time I got a good looking video player I ended up with a zvue that did not fully live up to my expectations. So i was wondering if someone who has had experience with Vision M can give their opinion and knowledge on it, specifically o nthese points.

-video quality and size (could i read subtitiles if i had to?)

-is there any type of video conversion to change the video type or dimensions or do you put them in full size

-does the fact that it has a hard drive instead of flash cause any problems, if so how bothersome were they

-any type of manual reset if it freezes

-do i have to use software to take stuff on and off or can i just open it in a window.

-any way to hook it to a tv to watch videos

i know this was a lot of stuff and i will be sure to give best answer to anyone who can answer most of these well

Answer 1

The Creative Zen Vision:M is a great choice for a mp3 player.

Video quality is really good, but it all depends on the codec the video is encoded in, of course.

Depending on the video it can be put in via drag and drop, but it may have to be converted using the program included on the CD.

You can get a paperclip and push the RESET button to reset it if anything happens.

You don't need the software (Which is why I love it) unless you want to.

You can use a Video Cable -> http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16855999146
