pmdemey Posted November 4, 2006 Posted November 4, 2006 I saw an mp4 in a catalog. Just wondering if Wal-Mart was getting them?
stationchief Posted November 4, 2006 Posted November 4, 2006 MP4, a.k.a. MPEG-4, is dvd-quality audio/video file format, like the way that MP3 is CD-quality audio. An MP4 player is basically an iPod that plays MPEG-4 videos and movies. Pretty neat how it works the same way when you buy a song from iTunes: You buy a movie while connected online and it downloads to your iPod/MP4 player. Don't actually have anything like that (yet) but it's pretty kewl stuff.
BubbleTea Posted November 4, 2006 Posted November 4, 2006 I doubt that any name brand mp4 players will be on sale (ipod), Apple seems to be reluctant to lowering the price. What you will see, I bet, is a lot of off-brand mp4 players, like they have on ebay.
Trish1298 Posted November 4, 2006 Posted November 4, 2006 This must be what my husband was talking about. So do you watch this movie on a little tiny screen?

MusicMama Posted November 5, 2006 Posted November 5, 2006 The Creative Zen Vision (original, M, and new W) both support mp4's - which are also known as DivX videos. I own an original and that's one of the formats I can convert video files to. So does the Toshiba Gigabeat, I believe, also the Archos player/recorders, and so will the new Microsoft Zune. I love the Zen Vision although it's not really small and it's not really light. But the picture is great - and the 30 gig drive hasn't run out of space even with lots of my Tivo'ed stuff and 80-some albums. The ZV original is a 3.2" or so screen, the M is a tiny 2.2" screen, and the W is a 4" screen. The M is a little too small to see clearly - about the same size as the ipod video. I haven't seen the 4" screen, but the 3-something is the same size as a normal PDA and I don't have many problems with seeing things unless the original picture is really dark.
