Any mp3 players that do video that also take sd cards as additional storage? Recommendations? What formats does it work with?

go here for all the mp3 players.

in the checkbox area:

find the row that starts with 부가 기능
on the right side of that row click on +더보기
click on the second last check box for that row 외장메모리 확장

it should now show the new results of mp3 players with memory card slots. by default it's sorted by bestselling/popular ( 인기상품순 )

Cowon D2 is probably what you're looking for.

Yeah I got the D2. 4 gig. I have a couple 4 gig sd cards so I figured not spend extra on memory.

I went to one desk and started the process. I asked the guy to switch it to english. He started and then some woman came along with a product and wanted some service from him. He put down the D2 and started serving her. I collected my things and walked away.

Geez.

Went to another desk. Guy was helpful and I bought the D2 on the spot. He himself was a user. I felt a bit like walking by guy 1 waving my purchase but I figure these counters are all just fronts for the same distributor. And I bet commission is not a Korean notion. Although maybe sales figures do work into a calculation about an employee's value.

Only down side I've noticed to the D2:

All navigation is via touch screen. It won't play videos you dl from the net until you convert them. You can't just drop them on a SD card and play. But it does come with a korean/english dictionary. That's a nice bonus.

Yeah, unfortunately, it seems that every player requires the videos be converted to mp4.

Why don't you get a PDA and 16/32GB of memory cards?

I've just bought a new HP 210.. 16gb CF and 4gb SD and can do a hell of a lot more than a PMP Cool

Cowon and i-Station PMP's don't require conversion. Or software of any kind. Just connect to the computer, drag and drop. Instant playback. No mess, no fuss.

Maybe a true PMP but the D2 requires you dupe the vid down to a particular frame size.

Who buys one for video anyway, who'd go blind looking at the screen for any extended period of time. But it's a good size for comfortable navigation through the play-lists and functions.

I used my HP iPaq but the picture wasn't nearly as sharp. The D2 has a really sharp picture. I use it on the subway. I really don't have much of a problem with the picture size. I'm not going to watch Battlestar Galactica on it. I toss Penn Says on it, South Park, Simpsons, documentaries, etc.

You can drag and drop videos into the D2 as long as the resolution is 320x240. That's the limitation for most of the small PMP these days (even the larger ones has a "restricted" 720x480 resolution).

For youtube, if you use vixy.net or youtube conversion programs to download the videos, they will work on the D2 straight off (make sure its 320x240!).

I use my D2 every day for music and for USB data storage which has been incredibly helpful, however unlike my Sharp Zaurus I can't copy files from the SD card onto the internet storage.

The Asus eeePC is another device that also takes SD cards (including the 2nd generation) and will play just about any video you throw at it. Of course it is a totally different genre altogether.
