GOOD LUCK!

Um I didn't find anything on the answer already given above but I know that if you use Sansa Media Converter instead of the program you are using now there won't be any problems. Here is the advice I can give you on putting videos onto your Fuze: The easiest way to put videos on the Sansa Fuze is to go on YouTube. Once your on Youtube, search the video you want. Add 'pwn' in front of the web address and click "Download MP4 Version" Once you do this it will ask you what you would like to name it. Name it the videos name because this is what will appear in the menu on your Fuze. Open Sansa Media Converter (available on sansa.com) and add the video by simply dragging it from its current positon (it's current position, after finished downloading, should be either in your desktop or "Your Computer" the "Your Computer" Icon should be in your start menu). Hit the "convert" button and you'll be all set! If you want to download movies you'll have to buy them. Sorry!:'(. Hope this helps! I am going to state the obvious now but remember your Fuze has to be plugged into your computer!

Below is a mediainfo dump of a compatible Sansa Fuze file. Things of note are the Simple@L1 profile for DivX5, the 224x176 resolution, 20fps, and the 128Kbps CBR 44.1 MP3.

From TheStopher

Not true on the buying the movies part. The Sansa Media Converter works if you feed it avis that are in divx. I use Any Video Converter to convert MP4 to avi. Then I use the avi to divx converter freeware from

http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/freeware/convert/to-divx

to convert to divX. Then the Sansa Media converter will be able convert it for your Fuze. It takes time due to the necessity of converting the same movie multiple times, but it works. Video quality was good as well, although I did start with HD MP4. Sansa Media Converter is a sorry program, but I can't find a way to ready a file for my Fuze other than this. The Fuze plays avis encoded in DIVX 20 FPS. I read that it is supposed to play MP4, but I have found this not to work... I think there is a frame-per-second limit as well as a resolution limit for Fuze player.Also I personally have many HD MP4 files already downoaded. I think I will get a different portable player soonest as this process sucks.
