Smile BRAND New Zune Owner (As in Yesterday) Hi!


Hello. I've been wanting a zune for quite awhile now. I just got one yesterdays as a present. I wanted a Pink, but I got an Second Gen 80gb Red Zune. YAY! Red is nice too. Well, I was looking up helpful info and found this site.

I have questions. (Hope that is ok)
  • I paid $29 for an AVI converter, did I pay too much?
  • I didn't know you could have games! How do you download Games?
  • I download movies but the aspect ratio on the zune is small It plays the movies in widescreen, how do I change that?

Hi! I have a black first gen, cause I'm too cool for school. :p

  • It depends on the AVI converter, as they all have marked advantages and disadvantages.

  • I've been trying to figure that one out myself.

Again, it depends on the software, but on most packages you can specify a ratio in the drop down context box.

I'd just get another video converter or change the settings on yours to 4 conversion.
Enjoy your zune. I as well own an 80gb Red Zune.

The converter I got is the dvdxsoft Zune Video Converter (Actual name)

Thank you to Nurta for the Games how to link.

Thank You, Silent! On my converter I change the aspect ratio to 4 but it still stays widescreen. There is also a box that says "Keep Orginal Frame" should I change that option? But there is many other options to choose from and I'm not sure which one it's supposed to be.

Is there a place where you can change the aspect ratio of the video?
If so, convert it to 240x320.
