I have just purchased an ONDA VX858LE. I have successfully put music into the player and it works perfectly, but when I try to play music video files it says there is a format error. I have used the converter software from the disc that converts all files to avi, which the player is supposed to support. Has anyone had this problem or know what the problem could be.

You really used the converter that comes bundled in the player? I mean, not changing any parameter?...

The thing is that videos have to be with audio MP2 instead of MP3... that's the main problem

I had this problem once.
You must set the converter resolution to match that of your player screen or you will get "format error" for sure.

I don't have this player, so not sure what the resolution is for video in vx858LE, but I think it should be 320x240.. so try setting to 320x240 in the converter.

Thank you for all responses, I can now play video files in my player because of your help.

I just got my onda vx858le and love it. Just found out i can download and play youtube's flv files without converting them to avi or anything. I just download them straight to the player and go.

btw, I joust bought a vx858LE (it is on the way, I don´t have it on hands yet)
and couldn´t find the differences between the plain vx858 and vx858LE
anyone?
what about vx878, looks like the only difference is the screen, which is smaller, but why the model number is bigger isn´t a superior model? is that the only difference?

VX858LE stands for Limited Edition... means that this version doesn't have Wolfson WM8750 DAC which is an audio decoder. The rest is identical.

VX878 have a screen of 2.4" instead of 2.8" for VX858.
VX878 have a slot for MicroSD card instead of MIniSD card.
VX878 doesn't have Wolfson DAC either.

so it means worse or the number of manufactured devices is limited?

I wouldn't say worse... less expensive as it doesn't have a costly chip (Wolfson DAC)... this is a rockchip device. This players doesn't have bad sound at all, it's just with the DAC chip (Digital Audio Codec) it sound better.

But in my opinion good sound is a personal feeling.

The main difference with 878 compared to 858LE are:

Smaller screen
Smaller battery
TF card
Cheaper

It supports mp2 audio for rockchip players like the onda vx858, you can download it here:-

Dear dmaxi,

some rockchip-players need the "Motion Search Precision" set to 0, others need 4 - if you're using viDrop give this values a try. I know some players who plays rotated and fliped videos only - try these options too. rgrds, lca77

gr8t helping hand guys!! thanks knob u roCK!..the vidrop works perfect & now i can convert videos and play them in my onda with no problems...for now;)
thanks again and regards from Malta

sry bother you again guys, but this time it is question about the picture quility of videos or clips i`ve just converted with vidrop and played on my onda(about time!)..not so sharp and comes a little bit blury sometimes, is there a solution or settings that i must set on the vidrop settings/picture screen.
i've just worked with the settings that knob showed in a screen print.
thanks again
