Yes, that means I’m back on the Apple Update thrill-ride to distraction. As if that wasn’t infuriating enough, the Sansa Media Converter requires Apple QuickTime, my old nemesis.Sansa Media Converter – allegedly this is required to put photos and videos onto the device – this, too, requires that I run it as an administrator (why? all it’s supposed to do is convert movies and graphics from one format to another, and then copy them to the USB drive that the Sansa pretends to be when plugged in).I’m still not quite sure what it’s supposed to do, because I can use the Sansa acceptably well without this tool running, and when I do run it unblocked as admin, it does nothing more useful than causing my laptop to repeatedly crash with a blue-screen of death. Sansa Dispatcher – runs at logon, insists on running as administrator, therefore gets blocked on my Vista system.

The software at fault is at least the following: Quite honestly, I can’t see how a media player – even if you count its ability to do video the size of my thumb – can be used to administer my system, but clearly that’s the intent of the designers, because the software all insists on running as administrator.
What I do mind is that the developers of the software accompanying this player haven’t figured out that I might want to use it as a consumer device, rather than an Information Technology Administration Tool. I don’t mind the big fat “REFURB” label stuck on the back, nor do I really mind all that much that it’s already lost a screw from the back. But I don’t mind that, I didn’t really buy it for the video. I obviously still have to pass the CDVDM created file through the Sandisk conversion program but I find that lip syncing is now much improved - near perfect I'd say.Thanks to the excellent, I upgraded to a new MP3 player – this one, the Sansa e250 from SanDisk, has a little screen and shows video at an almost completely unacceptably small resolution. Please forgive my layman's tinkering that I did to the devices.ini file but you guys have inspired me to go in and copy and modify the profile for the LG VX8350 device in order to roughly match the bitrate(s) of the Fuze as well as the frame rate. I'm sure someone out there could do much better than what I've just done - so please consider this an open invitation! Lavcopts=aglobal=1:vglobal=1:vcodec=mpeg4:acodec=libfaac Here's my laughable but arguably effective band-aid and homebrewed 'solution': I obviously still have to pass the CDVDM created file through the Sandisk conversion program but I find that lip syncing is now much improved - near perfect I'd say. In my opinion, the proprietary Sandisk media conversion program doesn't do a very good job at cutting down the frame rate of video files to 20 frames per second and, in turn, sound and video synchronization leave a little to be desired. Thank you for your responses! The info you've provided has helped me a lot. There has been some discussion on this topic on another forum but it doesn't seem as if anyone's come up with any solution that would allow user's to avoid the Sandisk media converter software (which has been 'hit or miss' for me in terms of performance). Here's as much info as I've been able to gather on the converted file settings: I'm not terribly technically savvy but has anyone attempted to add the Sansa Fuze's info into the 'devices.ini' file with any success?
I'm trying to find a way to make CloneDVD mobile convert my DVD vob files directly into the specific file format for the Fuze that would allow me to drag and drop it into this device without any conversion. If you try to drag and drop any video file onto this device that *hasn't* been passed through the Media Converter software, you will not be able to view it on this device. In order to view a video on this device, it must pass through Sandisk's proprietary software "Sansa Media Converter". I've recently bought a Sandisk Sansa Fuze.
