I put some vid (800kbps) to my new player and ... so much artifacts, the vids play on my comp is ok but when i play it on Zen, it's so bad. My old Iriver Clix doesn't have much artifacts like this. And soud quality is not good too, bass is week, high is not very extended, nothing special.
P/s: In all reviews i have read about Zen, everyone said that the video quality is great, superb, ... etc so what's the problem???

Could be an encoding issue, what was the source and what did you use to convert?

I don't think so, source is dvdrip file and i tried to encode with many program like any video converter, iriverter, super ... and the problem is still there.
Do you have a Zen? And do you experience this problem?

I don't have the Zen, I know the player has a lot of issues, so I wouldn't be surprised if it just doesn't play back video that well, and I've heard before the sound quality isn't great.

I dunno, as far as I remember (when I had it), the screen was high contrast and bright. Don't remember any issues of artifacts, then again I have never tried the Clix so that may be relatively considerably better.

The Zen is a good player in general, but the processor it uses is quite slow, and this manifests itself during playback of high-bitrate video files. So paradoxically, you'll actually get better video playback from a Zen if you use lower bitrates.

The SQ is just fine, but the power output is low, so you'll need sensitive IEMs.
