mp4 memory format feedback

by at che - 4/20/06 5:57 AM In reply to: Format mp3/mp4 player memory loss by paul-v

same here, and it "looked" like there was the 2 gig capacity when viewing properties through windows explorer. when i put about 1.6 gig of files on there, it said that most of them were corrupt! only about 100 mb i am guessing were actually readable, and there was small tag files located in its memory that could not be opened or deleted, therefore i reformatted as per original posting above...either there is new technology to download to encode the files to make use of a psuedo 2 gig, or it only ever had the 100 mb capacity and whatever the small tag files were that i deleted, made it appear to have more memory. i will do some more research and see how it goes.

Format mp3/mp4 player memory loss

by rmmc10 - 6/4/06 10:15 PM In reply to: same problem by riverrock

My clone 4Gbyte MP4 also has the same problem. That is the total memory capacity reduced to 109Mbytes after reformat. I took the machine apart and found the Flash Memory module inside is a Samsung K9F1G08U0A. From Samsung web site, this Flash Memory module has only Memory Cell Array : (128M + 4,096K)bit x 8bit. This means that the Module can hold only 1GBits of data. The Chinese merchants must have some kind of smarts to program the MP4 so that it shows 4Gbytes of Memory Capacity with 1GBite flash memory in it.

Hi

I am Visha from India there is one solution for a such problems a utility TESTDISK is most useful to recover the lossed space of mp3/mp4 players. It will find on http://www.cgsecurity.org. It actually rewrite MBR of player & we want to locate original cylinder size of player. So do it carefully it is dengarous.

Vishal Ranmale.

went from 4 G to 1 G when I reformatted

by eovery - 4/11/08 10:37 PM In reply to: Format mp3/mp4 player memory loss by vish4you

I had disk errors, so I used the cgsecurity software to recover, but came up with only 1 gig. Is there truly only 1 gig or 4 gigs available?

How do I get back to 4 gigs?

If there is only 1 gig available, do they get by by the software they use to down load to the player, that actually compresses and/or saves it at a lower bit rate to save room?

If this is the case, How do I get the AVI or whatever program they use to compress the music reinstalled on my MP3/4 player?
