After Show: MP3 player for children.

i use one on my PC "Any Video Converter" it has never failed me yet.

Anyone else sad he beat up the cute lil nugget? :(

btw guys the strap says "pet puppy"

Looks like my old Samsung Sunbust

I'm really late to the game here but I bought a program in like 2004 or 2005 called Cucusoft video converter ultimate and it does pretty good at making .avi for this old video player I have for when the kids were really little.

Rodney Hubbard

I thought after you said that it's a great nugget, you will save it but oh well :DD

No wonder you got that Amazon brochure in there. AGPtek used to be like Amazon's MP3 player home brand back in the days. I remember about 6-7 years ago, if you typed in "MP3 Player" on Amazon, literally the first 3 pages were filled with all kinds of different AGPtek nuggets!

Try using VLC to convert videos to avi. VLC is free.

Ffmpeg is a great convertor

The little lanyard says 'pet puppy'... 'kay. This is genuinely a cute little thing though, it apparently comes in blue!

Kaisea

You can use VLC media player to convert to those weird formats

perfectly cromulent

Funny thing is that AGPtek made my capture card and it actually works great!

It seemed to take more punishment than most big name electronics today.

ya know what? I like this one!

+1 for Handbrake, used to use it back in the day to put videos on my first ever nugget, and it worked most of the time on that player

Hand break both windows and Mac. Case closed. If you want to do conversion on the eee PC use All to AVI. Granted it's an abandoned open source project but on win xp it works fine

Michael Sunseri

This is the one nugget I'm kind of disappointed he destroyed.

I was just about to type that

Try using Handbrake for video conversation. It's open source and not dodgey.

Well, atleast you apologized this time lol

Have you tried Handbrake? It's been so long since I've had to use it but it's free and worked well in my iPod 5g days

Thanks, I just had a flashback to my days of learning to convert videos for my PSP. Oh, the fun I had, spent days converting all my movies to MP4. If only I had the foresight to keep the originals too, not too fun watching such a low res movie on a 4k monitor.. Omg, I was such a dumb kid.. Remember kids, tech (should) only gets better. I would use AVC - Any Video Converter, can't tell you if it's freeware anymore.

Don't know how much knowledge you have with video files, but this stuff can be tricky. First you can have container, like AVI or MP4. It only describes what and how data can be organized in such files. I will talk now mostly about MP4, because other formats can make special weird rules. In these containers you can now have MPEG2 Video and MP3 audio with subtitles. Or H264 video with AAC audio in english, chinese and french. Or whatever you like and can be stored in MP4. To get it now right you need to know the container, the supported codecs and even resolution. Some devices just don't play videos if the resolution is to big or has a different aspect ratio. From what I now understand is, that either this player can process AVI or AMV files with max 240*320 resolution. AMV comes in two versions, according to Wikipedia, and both are proprietary. So I would guess that it can only play AVI files with AMV encoded media and I don't know if Smart Converter can do this. If you don't fear to use the command line I would try ffmpeg.

i pissed myself when he started singing lmao as for the converters, as others stated, I suggest Handbrake of VLC media player

When they say AVI they probably mean DivX/XviD, so anything that can encode to either of those should hopefully work. ffmpeg can do that, there are many frontends for ffmpeg if you don't like terminals.

i had a great freeware audio/video converter program in the late 2000s which I have never been able to find again. my hobby was compressing videos and playing them back on my blue 4th gen nano. i always tried to find the best encoding settings to minimize file size and still have something watchable. no wonder i had no friends back then....

The problem with AVI is that it's just a container. The actual video codec inside an AVI file could be anything - DV, Video for Windows, Indeo, Xvid, etc. The only reliable way is probably to use the software that came with it.

i actually like how it looks and the UI, it's really cute, why'd you have to do it like that ;-;

This was so worth it

This thing always works wonders for me for AVI conversion: https://video.online-convert.com/convert-to-avi

Dude just use your EeeeeeeeeePeeeeeCeeeeee, it's old and Microsofty, I'm sure Movie Maker exports in AVI or WMV 😉

from my almost as limited japanese: petto no koinu -> katakana means it's japanglish so "ペット" = "petto" = "pet", "の" = "no" = "that is a" , and "子犬" = "koinu" = "child dog" or "puppy"-> "child dog that is a pet" (japanese sentences structure is almost the reverse of english) -> pet puppy

Anyone translate the japanese on that wriststrap? all i can tell from my extremely limited japanese is the word "ko" or child

Ezra

avi compares to the flac in terms of video in my opinion. really great container especially for uncompressed footage

I'm pretty sure that Premiere Pro can export to AVI.

Any Video Converter coverts into avi and whatever else.

Saddest ending ever.

if it's a DankPod video, you know somethings going to get broken.

Sean

Export from one of those God Awful screen recording programs from 2007 that put the watermark on the video.

Maybe screen record from Hypercam 2 (unregistered of course) for the 2008 nostalgia

If you are still looking for a videp converter: freemake video converter. Workes fine for me.

I know this is late but with OBS im pretty sure when you record a video in the highest quality setting, it will output into AVI format. Also VLC media player has an option to convert AVI to MP4 so i would assume it works both ways

dude that sexy speaker is just perfect

https://handbrake.fr/downloads.php thats the download link mate

this is the only nugget I'm actually sad to see broken :'(

Handbrake works wonders for AVI

Seth Barham

Handbrake or Toast are your best freeware options to get avi and other video formats

Ben Smith

Handbrake is on Mac and should convert to AVI.

If you have access to a windows pc then vegas pro 14 can re-render videos to avi and with good results even on my phillips nugg

I will look on my mac and see why I am using. I don't recall off hand.

oh, I'm sad, it was so cute.

this is the first one Ive ever been kind of sad to see die

i use premiere pro and it'll do avi (i definitely have a legit not cracked copy of cs6)

For .avi, you could try Any Video Converter (it's on Windows, though).

For .Avi just put the video in any video editor and render as .Avi, ez you can try movie maker or don't vegas

that nugget deserved more

Try Handbrake or VLC for AVI conversion

laughed out loud when you accidentally broke it lolol, also said "aw", but solid vid good sir! love ya danky!

VLC Player converts videos easy

Handbrake is my go to for video transcoding

I am getting one of these. OMG.

I want this

2.20 freedoms lol

OfficerBuddycat

Aww man.. poor Unicorn player :-(

YackyYam

VLC should be able to convert to AVI

Michael

premier pro should be able to export as AVI i think tbh i havent tried cause why would i lol

Sp3lllz

No one asked by the little Pink lanyard says "Pet puppy" on it lmao

Find the old pazara video converter portable suite. It's basically an ffmpeg wrapper so you don't have to learn command line. I've been using it for about 6 years now (same version) and it still works. Anyway about the player, for $50 I'd prob just toss a kid an amazon tablet.

marsrover

Want a good AVI thingamabob? ffmpeg will make anything into anything.

Format Factory should be able to make an .avi out of basically anything

I unironically want the uninugget

Pandamaru

Cloud covert is 1 to use https://cloudconvert.com/mp3-to-flac

if you ever need to convert a file from something like .mp4 to a .avi file you could just use adobe media encoder which comes with premiere pro to convert it

that is the bluest screen I’ve ever seen

Zawmbbeh

Not sure if you'll still read this, but it's actually really bad to keep a fully charged battery stored for a long time. You need to leave it at around 60% charge for it to last.

Suzumi

I don't want to sound like lmgtfy but I found this: https://www.appsloveworld.com/sample-video-download-sample-video-files-for-testing/ I also looked briefly for a Shrek trailer in avi but lost interest before I found one.

NotThatDan

Handbrake is hands down the only video converter I will use, regardless of what OS I'm on.

LudicDave

spoiler😔

https://www.online-convert.com/ This site works pretty well to convert files to AVI in case you hadn't tried it

Morgan Drake

RIP cute unicorn player

I feel like the regret for destroying the unicorn nugget was palpable. Also, use Handbrake.

Try "Adapter" for avi.

or even adobe media encoder

oof

you were mean to the little guy

My friend had an AGPTEK mp3 player a few years ago, we said agptek like you said it in the video and the memories are flooding back of our entire friend group using agptek as a synonym for janky

daily drive it then 1tb mod it

Honestly i'd just look up a torrent that says avi and do trial and error.

man i just want the lanyard from this one to put on my car keys

nooo why did you delete the newest post right after i clicked the darn notification 😔

try Davinci resolve, seems you can export as a .avi

Someone said on the Samsung Beans video that their default setting sounds pretty bad, but there’s another setting that actually makes them sound good? I don’t know lol. Maybe that could be a Patreon video someday, or maybe the Beans are just always bad.

that little thing is so adorable and stupid

I subscribed to his Patreon before I realised that I wasn't even subscribed to him on YouTube. Wild times we live in.

Zephy

Use ffmpeg!

Ben

Danktopian

HANDBRAKE!!!!

maxim

The fact that Gorillaz doesn't release their songs as APE bothers me

I heard handbreak was good but if that doesn’t work for you then try AnyMP3 converter

RDM606

I thought adobe media encoder can output to avi?

Handbrake, FFMPEG, and VLC all do the conversion fairly easily.

Handbrake is definitely the best option for video conversion. You can convert a 4K 100mbps H.265 vid to 1mbps AVI easily.

🤴

I typically use Handbrake for file conversion. It gives you a TON of customization, including things like bitrate, codec, etc. It's FOSS, and available on basically everything

DankPods is definitely in my top 10 YouTube channels I've discovered in 2020

For most file conversions I have to recommend the program FormatFactory! It's free, has a lot of converting options, and a lot of options inside those options! I've been using it for over a decade at this point and I can't recommend it enough!

Crazy Sticks

use convertio.co to make .avi from .mp4!

That looks like the type of MP3 player wade wilson would be listening to Shoop through

Plastic factory: I will take that as a compliment.

Sam Pinches

NOT THE NUGGET!!!! NOOOOO

many people already said Handbrake so i'll say Adobe Media Encoder since i know how much you love that pesky Premiere

CavifaX

You need to check out Handbrake for converting videos to wacky formats if you haven't before. It's never let me down once, and definitely supports avi.

I, like many others, can vouch for ffmpeg. Got it to convert junk cdi video files (used for the "graphics" on karaoke CDs) into playable mp4 files (h264+mp3)

That moment when the SD card flew out is the most honest laugh I've heard in a while

I enjoyed the Simpson's reference.

Recommend handbrake, it’s one of the few I have got to work properly.

That poor newborn nugget had no chance to live in this world with parents like dank and 1Grit ;( .

a few things you can try is use software like Handbrake, Adobe Media Encoder, VLC, or even www.cloudconvert.com give these pups a try, I can guarantee that these definitely do alot more work than usual.

RiskiVR

I reckon you could probably change the video format in premier

I'd imagine an older version of Format Factory on the EeePeeCee would probably work for AVI...yes, it'll look like malware but I've been using it for ages and it works a treat for random MP3 or video files my iPod doesn't like.

MagnaLynx21

Hello and goodbye to one of the best nuggets on the channel. We'll remember you, unicorn. o7

Platitudinous

Not to cast shade at our boy James or anything, but I could’ve sworn I heard that LiPo batteries should be charged halfway, not full or empty, when being stored for a long time in order to prevent damage (unless something has changed recently, idk)

Manic020

An easy way if you use adobe is to put the video into a project and then just, export it and render it as an AVI, theoretically

Eve Cable

Use Handbrake for AVI encoding?

Vlc player has a good little file converter built in to use in a pinch.

Aww look it's got the pop popper on there

Also if you wanna resell those 1tb cards (to try to recoup the costs) I'm sure some of us would be interested in buying em off ya. Just saying haha

Makani

Premiere does lots of things...

I mean it ignored the 128GB card and fired it like a cannon lol

one day ✌️

No one is engineering a media player for abuse against the corner of an anvil 👎

HDD go brrrr

I miss the crocodile folder icon already

Most days it outputs hate

What can I say, I’m an honest man.

And the newest no less lol

I’ll suss it!

I didn’t hate it at all

I swear one of my old iMacs records avi files with photo booth hahahaha

I'm pretty sure Handbrake does AVI. Handbrake does most things, it's how I convert videos for 5th gens.

I use to use a software called AVS video converter which converts things to AVI

CnP x

Dude it was actually good and broke it 😞

For the Avi conversion you could give VLC a go. I haven't specifically seen it converting to Avi but I've used it to convert other formats before

If you want to convert a video to avi you can use ffmpeg, that should be no problem at all on your Mac :) If you have homebrew on your Macs you can just brew install it, otherwise you'd have to download it from their site :) After that it should just be a bit of terminal magic to run ffmpeg -i input.mp4 output.avi There are some other switches you can add to adjust quality, but to get a video just playing that should be enough :) Give me a holler if you need any help with the process :)

poor crocodundiddily

NOOOOOO

Another recommendation for Handbrake which uses FFMPEG, the swiss army knife of video tools. However AVI is just a container format, it supports many different codecs for the video and audio parts of the file.

Stephen Ward

He's got the EePeeCee for sure. But don't think XP would help much haha

There are working AVI Converters for Windows, don't know if you have a windows machine tho

Atlas

I watched this with my gf, who got really upset that you broke it, but your apology cleared it all up for her so thank you for that!

Devin McIntyre

From my experience, Lithium-Ion batteries don't like being at 0% OR 100%. Usually for long term storage, 70% or so is a good target. It neither strains the cells(100%) or lets them fall flat (0%). My old Walkman even has an over provision feature to keep the device from charging the battery past 90% to prolong its life.

Vraeryn, Da Wigglin' Dragon

And if they are, I’ve always found WinFF to be a good GUI for it.

I'd reccomend shotcut its a good vid editor that can export to many different types of files

im pretty sure premiere pro does avi still

Dank: “Oh this mp3 player is quite nice actually” Dank: *destroys mp3 player*

*sees the ear buds* BLOW THEM UP! BLOW THEM UP!

gareth sloan

Reminds me of my little 4 gig Samsung MP3 player I had around 2007. That little nugget held on fairly well until I upgraded to a 160 gig Classic in 2010.

Zack Schmiesing

One of the best video converters: Handbrake! Free and fast.

i throw my videos into premiere pro and rerender them into the format i want lmao

a solid 40% of patreon content are just violent massacres of nuggets

Also I use DVD VideoSoft for converting files

The wrist strap reads ベットの子犬 which roughly translates to best boy, and I think that's the most magical part of the whole device.

Sexy speaker would of went to jail connecting to that mp3

Erik

You should buy another one of those and put flacs on it since the instructions said it could take them and see how it stacks up against your other flac players!

Correct! Now we just gotta figure out why it says that

More frank plz. She's a beauty. In all honesty, I really love your videos, it's one of the few things i look forward to each week.

Handbrake should be able to handle AVI conversion

GootShoot

You can use ffmpeg in the command line to make AVIs. Works really well if command lines aren't too daunting for you

"pre-tangled" hahah

It doesn't. It only outputs MP4 and MKV/webm. AVI is essentially dead with modern formats.

eppic

That is cool. I use Adobe Audition and I think that you can use that to make avi. Ohhhh nooo at breaking the screen lol.

Trent Bennett

I use a program called VideoProc and it will literally do any format possible including AVI and it’s not half bad. Granted it’s $30 USD but to me well worth it.

...I should have finished the vid before I got attached to it...

Makani

+1 for using Handbrake or ffmpeg directly.

Glad to see everyone has already suggested handbrake for .avi conversion. This actually seems like a cool little device, ngl.

Makani

Try Handbrake, I've used it at work to convert some weird ass format from one of my old hotels cameras into mp4

RIP in pepperonis, unicorn nugget. you were loved before you were purposefully destroyed. F in the chat

Im pretty sure on windows you can just enable file names and change mp4 to avi by renaming it

"i didnt know it had it!" - someone, having a piece of printed paper saying that its capable of just that right in front of them, all while smashing it to bits because he was bored

Hey! I'm sure you're getting deluged with comments about how to work with avi, but I just thought I'd chip in my 2 cents. So AVI is a container, right. Most of these players likely are looking for an mpeg codec in that container. The real old ones likely want mpeg-2, most of the newer ones almost definitely want mpeg-4. But there's the issue of which mpeg codec they want. H263? H264? You probably wouldn't be able to know until you tried it yourself. I'd recommend setting up a few different test files to use, like h263-xvid-320x240.avi etc etc. Now, to convert this in the first place, if the adobe media encoder doesn't support avi, I'd recommend VLC. It has a nice easy to use GUI (media -> convert -> add file -> create new profile -> enter in everything you want -> destination file -> start) and if for some reason that doesn't work, there's always ol reliable ffmpeg on the command line. (ffmpeg -i input.mp4 -c:v libx264 -vf "scale=480:320" -c:a libmp3lame -b:a 256K h264-x264-480x320.avi) Hope this helps!

I use handbrake for conversions and I’m pretty sure it supports .avi

Ooo, conversion program? Try Adobe Media Encoder (you should have that because Premiere Pro), or try HandBrake. HandBrake's a pretty nice open-source converter.

i’m not that familiar with it; what is it mostly used for?

Fredrik Hemsen

definitely the best mp3 player for kids you've reviewed, this left me almost wanting one myself!

I use Adobe Premiere Pro and also the media encoder from the CS6 collection, it's got AVI so you might consider using that for the conversion?

ffmpeg -i video.mp4 video.avi https://ffmpeg.org/download.html I'm not 100% sure if it will work with this but at least 80% worth a try lol.

MobCat

Just a heads up, you can convert videos to AVI using VLC

"AVI" is kinda meaningless, as it's just a container format that doesn't specify a codec. It could be anything, DivX, Xvid, MPEG-1/2/4, H263, VC1, MJPEG, DV...

eppic

Can confirm it's on mac and it's a total beast.

If you don't care what vids are playing then you could try the FFMPEG samples, https://samples.ffmpeg.org/V-codecs/ . They have pretty much every format under the sun, although it's sorted by FourCC or something so might be hard to traverse. Although I took a look at some of them and the content can be a bit... dicey... Snippets or ripped shows, etc. So just beware I guess. But if you find something that works, that might point you in the right direction of the FFMPEG command-line that can be used to make that format.

have you tried ffmpeg for the avi conversions?

Im so glad I was able to pay for <1% of the cost of the 4TB iPod. Btw, for converting videos to pretty much any format, HandBrake is the defacto go-to. Not 100% sure if it's on Mac, but if it is, please try it out!

DrewDoesThings

Hello mr.dank, you can convert videos to almost any format (including avi if i remember correctly) using vlc media player, im not gonna explain the process here since you can easily find it on the interwebs, but it takes less than 5 minutes. Loving the vids. Keep it up!

Peer

Handbrake is a good video converter that does Avi conversion

Salty aussie

You should show us some of your automotive nuggets you always mention

long live the pink patreon sticker!

this was a joy to watch

Unicorn nugget, you were with us for a short time. Gone too soon, never forget, RIP.

TH3mrBROWN

If you don't want to download more software for sample videos, https://cloudconvert.com seems to work with AVIs.

Odd question, Have you tried the Philip SHP-9500 headphones yet. They are budget open back headphones that many people have raved about since they have a similar sound profile as HD600s but less than a hunge.

Great video, super fun, the nugget is surprisingly good XD I'd totally use that as a kid. Btw there is a program called format factory has image audio video format and converter pretty easy to use.

dank pods heres a thing that lets you convert a video to amv i was using it on one of those nano knock offs. Until i got my own thanks to you. Here's the link https://www.avs4you.com/avs-free-video-converter.aspx it looks sketch but it works!

dog themed armband doesnt match the unicorn case 0/5. jk like as a kid i wld have fucking loved tht kind of thing

I think I got one of them that I could send him

Could you use it to take out the Bluetooth module thing?

Have you tried putting Wikipedia on those 2 terabytes

Whaaaaaa. I totally trying that

UnexpectedStuff

Ok, try this amv video file: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1S-iDsVWx-8NyNhveUy-fw0iU3-Y4rUWs/view?usp=sharing at least my around 15 year old MP4 player with scary bulge plays it.

Ossi K

RIP Unicorn, Ripped from us too soon, F

Leon Lionheart

I have a hard drive with some films in AVI if you're interested! :D

Just use HandBrake for video encoding, it just works) Also Hi, thanks for making me buy 160GB iNugget Classic, I'm currently enjoying all of it's clicky hard drive magic)

This may be the highest quality nugget I've ever seen

I'm oddly attached to that unicorn holding a ball, now.

Connor Nolan

sexy speaker makin me feel some things 😳😳😳

A bit unrelated, but have you ever thought of taking the look at the SanDisk nugget? I’ve been seeing them a lot lately.

Hey i have a video idea that sound kinda funny. Ok so you make a bootleged ipod from wish with the worst parts you can find and or the best parts u can find

DOUBLE-YOU Emm Ay. Double You Emm Ay. Now there’s an audio format I’ve not heard in a long time.

Paul Douglas

Glad a lot of people are recommending good converters so we can see you try and get Shrek on this thing oh wait

calling ogg a "freakish/legacy" format hurt me a little inside

https://handbrake.fr is my goto for re-encoding video, it does everything

knedit knedit

50 aussies is about 36 freedoms

RUSTIC

im with the majority; i use handbrake to convert everything, for several different devices, works beautifully, although it can be pretty slow depending on the length/size of the files youre converting (i used to convert movies and tv shows from 1080p to 540p for my psvita, the conversion time was almost 1:1 with the runtime of the movie or show itself, i.e. 45 minutes to convert a 45 minute tv episode)

Oh man AVI takes me back to like 2008 with my jank walkmans

James T

Use VLC Media player to convert stuff (file>convert) or Handbrake

use ffmpeg, it's command line but pretty easy to use, it'll probably convert to .avi just fine

not sure why, but i became attached to the little fella. Im kinda sad now.

I think MKV is more common now for ripped movies

Adobe media encoder can output to AVI's, that works for me at least

Handbrake mac app, does it all.

Have you tried an online converter?

"I was a bit rough with it" - DankPods, 2020

https://cloudconvert.com worked for me for strange formats in the past

Of main video, 2TB is limit for MBR so that's most likely reason why it failed. And for this video, I suggest to get ffmpeg too. However problem is to get amv codec video into that avi container, https://askubuntu.com/a/864689 might helps.

Ossi K

On macos you can just rename let’s say a .mp4 file to .avi then click covert on the box that pops up

wondershare filmora can convert or export as avi

https://ffmpeg.org/

GarnetSunset

It’s oddly adoreable

if google translate is correct that strap says "pet puppy"

If you want to go really command line with it, you could use ffmpeg to transcode an .avi. That thing can convert a 1080p webm to a 1080p gif.

Gotta use HandBrake mate.

Aleksander M L

Handbrake would work great for AVIs. I used to use it to rip DVDs in college, like, 13 years ago.

Paul Allen

It's funny that the best nugget so far is for infants

Adobe Media Encoder can convert files to .AVI

Micro firewire cable, impressive

Maybe try HandBrake! It’s an awesome tool, I use it for years!

Lukjam

I feel like the MP3 Player is made in the same factory as my Soulseekr, they have a similar features with an UI menu change, but they also only take AMV, and AVI

Arrrg matey, AVI is a popular video format when yer sailing the digital seas lookin' fer movies

Charles Petrosky

*Insert seth rogan @ 6:29

Today I think I’m gonna watch the after show first.

Would something like Hand Break work for avi? I’m not at my computer to check, but it might do that video format. It works on PC and Mac
