Clix2 8GB Help Needed

[owlyn12345]

I just got the Clix2, upgrading from the original Clix, and I am still MTS mode (so far, anyway), and using WMP11 to sync. There are some differences, so I have some questions:

1. How can I convert a DVD? On the Clix, i used iRiverter, which worked fine, but only gives 15fps video. How can I convert from a regular DVD (like a movie recorded off my DVR) to 30fps? I can't figure out how to use the new movie converter. The files on my DVD are not .avi There are two folders, and several files in each. iRiverter figured all this out for me.

2. How can i stop WMP11 from trying to sync everything on my PC? It's going nuts.

3. Can someone explain what the difference is between the two USB modes? When I put it in Power & Play mode, my PC doesn't think it's working (XP sp2).

4. iRiver plus 3 doesn't recognize my player. Is this because I need to be in UMS mode instead of MTP mode? If so, is it worth the switch over? It looks like I can label my FM stations, which would be nice. Are there any other features in iRiver Plus 3?

5. Can it be charged with any wall/usb charger (like for a cell phone)? They should al be the same I would think.

TIA.

1. Check out clixhere.net clix2 forum, there is a list of video software on the sticky. Also there is an updated clix2 profile for iriverter also.

2. When connected to WMP11, stop the auto sync and select the 'v' under sync tab, goto 'iriver clix', 'set up sync...' and uncheck automatic sync option.

3. 'Power and play' means you can charge and use the clix on the same time. 'Power and data' is for charge and sync at the same time.

4.IP3 for UMS, WMP11 for MTP. FM label doesn't work on clix2.

5. Yes, as long as the output power is same as an USB port.

Thanks clieos! I more or less stumbled on the "uncheck the automatic sync" thing exactly as you described Will check out clixhere.

I am new to the clix2 and do not always have access to a computer all the time to charge it. What are the other alternatives? I noticed that there is a AC adapter on the iriveramerica web site but it is for the clix 1 generation. Will this work? Can a motorola phone charger work? Thanks!

I charged my clix2 occasionally on my V3x charger too. You can also get any good brand USB adapter from BestBuy or RadioShack.
