Zeni vision : M or Ipod Videoz

leoloe SG

I ve got both. and in terms of minimalism… the ipod video wins… their pcb board design and all… they managed to squeeze all that into that small form factor. whilst the zen vision M with more features , and a sligtly not so technologically advanced board.. they’re bout the same.

I read on Cnet that the Zen Vision: M has a better screen than the Ipod Video. Of course the Zen loses out designwise. Mr. Green

You either have to be a pro video encoder or have quicktime pro if you want to export your videos to mp4, mov, m4v format

Creative Zen Vision Supported Video format:

ZEN Vision supports many video formats, such as AVI, DivX 4 & 53, XviD4, MPEG-1, MPEG-2, MPEG4-SP, WMV9 and Motion-JPEG

.avi is easy as most of us owns a Windows PC. Moreover, has support for XviD which is the standard format for torrents. ^^. But no H264 Support u_u.

Most Pirated mp4 video players:

Claims that they support mp4 playback, but actually the formats the support is .dat (VCD raw), .avi, and/ or DivX.

What a scene it would be if you see a joker carrying a 32inch TV on his lap and watching shows when he sits in MRT? Laughing

iPod for me too... Using it for a few months now and no problems. The screen is sharp. Battery life when playing videos is around 3-4 hours. Songs is around 14 hours. I'm lovin' it~ Mr. Green

One thing to note if you are going for iPod, buy a screen protector, those thin sheet of plastic that sticks on the front and back of the player. I don't know why many people love to buy casing for their iPod. Its thin, but with the extra casing it looks bulk. My iPod still looks as good as new with only the screen protector.

I would prefer Zen Vision, the one with the bigger screen, If u wanna buy a video mp3 and watch movies in it, get a one with a bigger screen like a PSP, watching a movie for hours on it, you will strain ur eyes. Suggested Creative ZEN Vision (not zen vision:m), Ipod if u want style, small , less function , poseur value. Ipod support less video format then creative. CReative Zen vision, it jus cost a little more for a bigger screen. Very Happy

Actually there isn't much of a fight.
Apple and Creative cater to different types of consumers.
And I think Apple chose the correct group of consumers, as well as a very good product designer. Very Happy
Sales figures talk.
Creative's in the red now, sadly, and the up-and-coming lawsuit against Apple by Creative is going to suck 'em dry man, whether win or lose.

iPod for sure.

Good things have constant prices ma.
Because even if it is more expensive(iPOD), people will still want to buy it.
