Insignia NS-DV2G Video Formats Hacks using SUPER ©

Best Buy sells a brand of MP3 (among other electronics) called Insignia. I have the Insignia NS-DV2G MP3, WMA, Video Pla yer, Radio, etc player. The unit comes with ArcSoft Media encoder, but anyone who has this device knows that the ArcSoft software is slow and limited in what it will encode.
This blog entry is not a recommendation for people to go out and buy the insignia player, it is intended for those who have already purchased it and want to know what other video formats they can use.

Situation: I have windows vista machine with Windows Media Center and a TV tuner card. The problem is that the Windows Media Center Encodes to DVR-MS format. Many people use MCEBuddy to do the conversion automatically, but to date I have not been able to find a format that works. So I looked elsewhere and found an app called SUPER ©. ( http://www.erightsoft.com/SUPER.html)

Here is the general range for what what I tried and got to work on the Insigina NS-DV2G.
I used FFMPEG as the encoder
XVID as the Codec
Video rates from 56kbs to 728kbs
Audio rates from 64kbs to 128kbs
I used a constant 15fps (frames per second)
Video sizes from 320x240 to 240x176
I have included some links to some converted files:

320x240 768v ido 96 a udio 15fps

Side Note: On some systems, you may not be able to transfer the files directly to the unit, some XP machines will tell you that it is a viable format. I have one XP machine that it works on and another XP machine it does not; my Vista machine has not problem. Until you get it figured out, I would transfer the videos to a MicroSD card then insert it into the player.
Let me know if this helps you.
