1. How to Convert MP4 to Sandisk Sansa
Video Format
I just got a new Sandisk Sansa. I used both way of direct copy .mp4 files from PC and
Sansa and also used Sansa converter to converter the file to Sansa. But either I can see
the files exist in video folder in Sansa from PC. But it does not appear in Sansa in the
video folder. The file size is not big; it is less than 10MB. So I have to convert the file to
3gp. It finally appeared in Sansa. But the sound quality was terrible. I thought Sansa
support .mp4 format. Would anyone know?
When I added the MP4 files to media converter, the message box said I have to installed
correct codec for that. What Codec do I need to install? May I have to install application
like MP4 to Sandisk Sansa Converter on my computer?
How to convert mp4 to video format for Sandisk Sansa?
Method one - VLC Media Player
If your Sandisk can not recognize MP4 you collected, the easiest way I've found to work
around this problem is to download and install the free "VLC Media Player".
Step one.
When you install VLC Media Player on computer,
open it and choose "Meida" on the top menu and
click-on "Convert/Save".
Import MP4 video file that you would like to convert
for viewing on the Sandisk Sansa, then click on
"Convert/Save" at the bottom of the dialog box.
Step two.
Check the "File" option from "Outputs" section of the next dialog box, choose the
"Browse" button to find the folder where you want to save the converted file and name
it in the "Filename" box with .WMV file extension like "My video Clip .WMV".
Step three.
Choose "Windows (wmv/asf)" in the "Profile" section. Then click on "Save" button on
the bottom of the dialog box, and the VLC Media Player's progress bar moving and the
2. top of program will say "streaming". After several minutes, you will get ".wmv" file on
the target folder that you set previously.
Step four.
The next step is to connect your Sansa to your computer via USB and open the Sansa
Media Converter (aka "SMC") program. Click on the "Add Media" button at the top right
of the program. Navigate to and select the "My Video Clip.WMV" file that you created
using VLC from the original YouTube MP4 video file. Then click-on "Converter" button to
convert video to the one for Sansa. When you get a message of "Finish 1" which means
one video file has been converted successfully and transferred.
Then you can enjoy video on Sandisk Sansa.
