Sansa media converter

[boonrc]

I just bought an E280 player, with a CD with Sansa media converter.
On my Vista desktop this converter program doenst work! It simply tells me there is no connection, tho i follow the steps in the manual!
Has it something to do with Vista, can i download somewhere the newest version?

If you got it to install you had to explore the CD, the autorun doesn't work on Vista. Also, is the device in MTP or PlaysForSure mode? The Sansa Media Converter was programmed to work in both modes, but it works a lot better in MTP or PlaysForSure.

Ace 12 thank you very much.
This MTP suggestion works!

i ran into the same problem, however, i am running windows 2000 and ubuntu
the program opens but doesn't detect the player (Fuze)

is there an alternative program that will convert videos for use on the player?
i tried using my copy of magic video converter with no useful results

d311_5uxor, do you have an e200 or a Fuze like you said?

[d311_5uxor]

i have a Fuze
i just wondered if there is an alternative program that i can use to convert video for use on the player. my laptop is what i usually use and it does not run xp, just linux and win2000 neither of which the sandisk converter will run in

Here is info for video for the Fuze: http://www.anythingbutipod.com/forum...ad.php?t=27460

I think people are having a hard time getting third party apps working since it uses DivX. It is the same for the e200v2, too.

With all new Sansas, SMC must be updated to work, so make sure you have the latest SMC. Also, SMC seems to be the only thing to use with v2's.
