4.0 out of five stars
Finally a PVP that I can tolerate,

&nbsp,&nbsp,

I had bought Creative PVP sometime back, but had to return it bcoz it uses Microsoft Media Player. Wrong media player choice. It makes the whole procedure of uploading media tiresome and slow. So i returned the Creative. I checked iRiver at the store and found that it didn’t use Windows Media Player. So I bought it. I have been playing with it over the past couple of weeks. It gives a DIVX codec software and related media converter software, that makes importing videos easy. Use the movable Media Center DIVX profile, when coverting videos.I use the AVI format to upload videos onto the player. It’s also a full shown mp3 player, voice recorder and a fm tuner. The speakers are bit low in volume, so have to use headphones in noisy situations. The fit and finish of the hardware isn’t as nice as Creative. The software has many spelling mistakes like “FM Tunner” instead of “FM Tuner”. But at the end of day, it does what it’s supposed to do. And it gives all the software and cables right out of the box. I’m in procedure of creating a PC established DVR solution, to catch and record live TV. IRiver will become my movable video system. IRiver may also send video signal’s to TVs through a provided port and cables.Provides USB Master port potential to interact with other USB port able devices, without using a PC. It comes with a nice hard case, that U can use to carry it around and to prop it up while watching it on an airplane. Battery is removable type, so u can purchase another one, if U are on a really long flight. PVP space is still evolving fast, so expect to see lots more new models coming out in next couple of months. If like me, u want one now, iRiver is an reasonable choice. You’ll need many experience in media conversion to effectively import videos in a watchable format. Experiment with video sizing, audio mixing etc till u get it right. IRiver also has released another PVP that uses Windows Media Player. Don’t purchase that, unless you have a full shown Windows Media Center PC.

An update to the review. Using Pinnacle Dazzle DVC 80 Video catch device USB based and excellent Pinnacle Video catch Software, I have been able to effectively catch TV output and import into iRiver. I had to reconvert the Dazzle AVI output files to iRiver AVI using the iRiver media converter software. Now I have a complete movable video solution. I’m a bit surprised it all really worked. I was able to catch HD channel outputs from my DISH TV satellite box using the AV parts in the back of the satellite receiver.

5 out of 5, Just go out and attempt it. ,

&nbsp,&nbsp,

really I waited for the movable media player from Microsoft. But I heard unfortunately it will not come out soon. And I learned that iriver is in partnership with Microsoft for the movable media player.

Anyway, I have been using this little surprise for a week. I think it beats any movable media players in the market.

The battery hour is long. I about guess it lasts at least three times longer than my wife’s Ipod. The lcd display may be bigger, but still quite big as a movable player. Speaking of the quality of sound, you know irivier has superior sound quality to any other players.

I’m a digital camera mania. This device not only save files through the usb fort but also host usb port. So you may be able to read all the image files directly from the digital cameras. This is great.

It also has a FM tuner. One thing I found really great is that you may record the music directly from the radio, and you may be able to control the quality of sound files. It can be many kind of music piracy. Not sure though.

In sum, believe me, this one is a killer toy. I hope the price will be lower so that I can purchase one for my brother.

Mediocre,
October 24, 2005

By&nbsp,Tron Chaser See all my reviews

It does what it says it’ll do. But, the player has huge trouble with Xvid, despite of settings. Plan on only encoding in Divx. With Divx, it can handle 1500kbps, 640×480@30fps and lots of B frames. It also must have CBR MP3 to play the video in sync, if you have VBR with anything, you have to encode it over to CBR. The screen is not especially in depth because the pixel size is so big. With video, you’re restricted to 192kbps for audio, anything higher will cause a desync.

It also tends to hang while playing a “non standard” movie such as VBR MP3 or Xvid. You’ll have to take off the battery to reset the machine and let for control answer again. This problem is alleviated by making totally sure you are using Divx and CBR MP3. Over that, you lose the capability to fast forward/rewind through movies above 650MB. If you have a 1.3GB movie, you will have to break that up into smaller chunks if you plan on being able to fast forward through it. It will play the bigger file, and it will continue the movie at the stop point, but you won’t be able to fast forward.

Doesn’t play Vorbis/FLAC/ACC/AC3 audio, but it’ll handle VBR MP3 just good. The playlists are pretty standard, and the player will let you make your playlists. The radio uses the headset cord for it is antenna, and it does a great job with get. Radio reception is good. There’s a fitted microphone for recording audio to MP3, but you can not record from the radio.

The player comes with iRiver’s own little converter, and it is extraordinarly poor. They have pre selected alternatives, and it’s adjusted for encoding speed, not quality. Plus it’ll crash if you have different codecs on your machine.

You use up more than what you get. There are superior merchandise available for less money. Two stars due to price, three stars for the machine itself.

Thye device is cool. Small and powerful, it holds boatloads of music. It made me bury my Ipod mini.

Rating: Wonderful music and video
This is great. For such a small screen the resolution is great though on some video podcasts I noticed that the screen does not show many of the material on the edges of the video podcast. The storage capability for this really small ipod is great. It fits over 1000 songs with lots of room left over for other things.
