.13r1 solved my problem too

I was running ver 1.25 of the firmware on my h340 and version .14 of iRiverter.

The solution i found after reading a helpful post ( i appologise for forgetting the posters name ) was to remove version .14 of iRiverter and instead run .13r1. At first i had an issue as i downloaded version .13 which ended up giving me an entirely new issue, i did manage to track down version .13r1 ( i am not aware of any links to hosts of older versions of iRiverter ) on sourceforge by going to the .14 download screen and editing the filename in the url. I just needed to change the 14.exe to 13r1.exe and this gave me the d/l page for the version i needed.

Since running 13r1 i have had no issues with wmv files or any other format. They have all converted fine, and there are no greyscale / poor fps issues.
I downloaded various animation content from the web (mostly quicktime) and they all seemed to work fine except this one: http://video.blur.com/quicktime/480x..._broke_480.mov. The colors at the beginning and occasionally in the middle would turn yellow. If you compare the original .mov to the smaller .avi, you can clearly see a difference. Switched back to .13r1 and it made all the difference.

I gave up on iriverter for a while because of this problem and tried exploring other options to get content on my portable player, but after resolving this, I am very glad to be back. iriverter is a really great piece of software - easy to use but lots of functionality. Great design and implementation!

Question for Mr. Static Void - You developed with Java and SWT, right? How did you get the EXE wrapper around Java? Is the code all pure Java or, as someone mentioned, does it also use the .NET framework?
