Need help of my newest MP4 player?

[magis]

I bought MP4 player from China last week. Once I receive the player, I am so happy with its beautiful looking. But I am sad with its terrible manual and its software when I turn on it. The device has marked on the player itself saying that it is an AVI player. It contains a demo avi file which plays reasonably well.

I tried to load up some avi files which play on my computer. But the portable player says incorrect format. I think the problem is that I can not understand functions of player fully. After I tried several times, I still can not upload avi. File.

Can some one suggest what we can try in this situation? Have you come across this situation before? And have you bought any MP4 player from china? I think I have been cheated or the player had problem before shipment. Anyone help me?

Does it have flash memory or hard drive? Try loading a smaller avi. Some unscrupulous sellers spoof the players into appearing to have a larger flash memory than they actually have, so an '8gb' might actually only have 1gb of storage, and thus will refuse to let you copy larger files.

A friend of mine was stung buying an 8gb usb flash drive for $6.

I suspect it could be some kind of codec problem. Do this: copy the avi that comes withit to your computer and using a program to play it, check out which kind of compression does it have. Then check if the files you want to copy are reported as having the exact same format in your computer.
