I have my hands ON the Sony X1000 Walkman - Impressions / Discussions - Page 203

^ thanks! i just upgraded from a creative zen vision:m where .avi files are essentially just drag, drop and play. but damn up until now i still can't believe the sq on the X. it's simply amazing!

X2, cheers. Still amazes me daily, during all day work listening sessions....

^ haha nice. i just recently discovered that when you drag & drop videos through windows explorer it automatically converts it. now i don't have to fiddle anymore with the settings of my previous video converter when converting just to make sure that the videos plays on my X.

Too bad "drag & drop" only converts to 320 x 240 with a crappy compression. The X1050 is capable of a higher resolution and plays flawless up to 1500kbps. If you manually convert your videos (Ripbot: 480 x 270, H264 MP4, 1500kbps) you get MUCH better results. Try it!

whillst I still like the SQ of the X - which is superb

I'm really not impressed at all with the screen on the X - it may be an OLED - but I much prefer the screen on my IPOD Touch.

many thanks for the tip! but will that settings work for other video converters? i'm using total video converter.

Hey all, as I mentioned a few pages back the sony x is most likely my next DAP to purchase, however I'm trying to play the waiting game in case they release a new one which will either be "better" or will drive down the cost of the original x series. So... how reliable are these things? Seeing as I'll probably be buying a used one I don't exactly want to risk it with something unreliable (eg xbox 360s).

Edit: Having said that there's only one on ebay atm , these things must be good...

You have to jump on the bandwagon sometime, the X has been out less than a year so I can't see them making a replacement anytime soon. Even if they do I couldn't care less, I'm more than happy with mine.

I have a couple of questions:

1. can someone give me all the settings they use in a specific video converter 'cause this is really complicated.

2. I tried to connect to my router and I entered the wep key (not sure) but it says its not right, that it should be 10 or 25 hexa or 5 or something ascii, what should I do?

There are several topics on video-conversion for the X over at the ABI forum. If you follow those instructions step-by-step I can't imagine you running into any more trouble.

I heard there is line out cable for X series, like ipod link out cable.

Anyone know where to buy it? and how much?

Read the last few pages of this thread... It's not quite ready apparently.

Also ask Negakinu, he bought one from another source.

Ah yeah, here's a post of his which links you to the company he purchased it from. I wonder how he's getting on with that cable now....

Thanks. Can't wait to see more impression about this. As far as the quality is outstanding, I think there are a lot of potential buyers here waiting to try this out
