Should I Get A Zune 80gb?
Wednesday, December 30th, 2009 at 10:43 am
I have scoured the web to find an article that could help me with this question, but I have yet to come across one that answers my questions…..
1. Is the screen size worth the resolution? (it a big screen, but do videos look good on it)
2. Do subtitles look good on the screen? (no point in getting a player if I can’t read the subtitles)
3. Will the device put some DMR protection on the videos that I put on the player (that I have bougth from a store or dl’ed from a non zune site)? (Dont really care about this one, i would just like to know)
Thoes are the questions that I have…. I dont care about ipod’s, not that I hate them… I just dont want one. I aslo dont care about the Zune market place… I dont get anything from online store (Itunes included)…..
Also…. my zune hard drive will be about 90% subtitled anime and only 10% music…. so I need to know more about video than audio….
Thank you soooooo much for your answers!! You will save me weks of net surfing!

You will need to convert RMVB files. This page will tell you a little more about video files Zune accepts.http://support.microsoft.com/kb/928192
Now onto your questions.
1. I think so. I have a Zune 30gb so the screen size is just a little bit smaller. If you have a quality video to convert it should look just fin.
2. The subtitles will appear rather small. Of course it will also depend on how large they are on the original video. If they appear large enough to easily read then they would obscure a good part of the screen (my opinion). I have some music videos on mine that have English subtitles. I can read them easily but couldn’t imagine reading an entire program and I’m used to reading subtitles when I have foreign language programs on my computer. If at all possible I would borrow one if you know someone who owns one. Check out the subtitle issue to see if it suits your needs.
3. Mine hasn’t so far.
