Try installing FFDshow, that might sort that missing Codec issue, because that shouldn't be happening. The iRiver software is really good to be honest, and always works. The problem is you can't drop .VOB files into it. So if you want to rip a DVD to the X20, you have to go via something like AutoGK, make an XVID or DIVX and then convert that, which adds a pointless 2 hours to the whole process.

I think they have shot themselves in the foot with this. It could be a superb video player, the screen is awsome and it seems to have a decent processor in it, the sound never goes out of sync even when FF or RW. All they had to do was put .Vob to WMA support in the software.

And now Creative have the new Zen out which plays DivX and Xvid drag n drop, that is the way to do that.

I will use this as MP3 only (which it does really well, so I shouldn't complain really) and grab a Creative ZEN for video, plus the SDHC card I bought, that doesn't work in the X20, works in the Creative, BONUS.

Gone off topic here, ahh well.
