With the many Zune video downloads today, it is clear that Zune is not just another portable media device in the market. According to the National Purchase Diary Group January 2007 report, Zune ranks third among the best selling media gadgets. Downloading multi-format video content is just one of the many reasons why people buy Zune.
Zune can play .mov and wmv.
When it first came out in the market, people thought Zune cannot play QuickTime movies or videos that have a .mov format since the device is a product of Microsoft, a rival of QuickTime owner - Apple. Contrary to this belief, Zune can play both .wmv, Windows media video, and .mov. In fact, Zune can play MPEG formats, like .mp4 and mp4v, another group of popular video formats associated with mp3.
This flexibility allows Zune to dominate a large part of the video market. Video enthusiasts like the idea of plug and play which is pretty much the case for a Zune player. You really do not need to buy any video converter to convert the video file format from one to another just so that it is readable by the portable media device.
Zune software can be used to effectively manage your library of Zune video downloads.
Similar to the iPod's iTunes, the Zune Software is used as a download manager to manage Zune video downloads as well as other media files. It is easy to tag and categorize your media content. The software also allows for automatic and intelligent hot-sync that will save a new video file on your Zune whenever it detects new updates. Those who subscribe to internet TV, online video sources and video podcasts would love this feature as it is a huge time and effort saver.
With media syncing, you don't have to wait for the new video episode to arrive to update your device. Once a new episode comes in, the file will be downloaded both into your PC and your Zune media player.
Zune also allows video sharing with other users.
Zune Social lets you share information about the latest files such as Zune video downloads you recently acquired. Activate the Zune Social and it will go detecting other users within a specific range. From there, you will know what these owners are playing on their devices right now.
Can't wait to tell the world about your latest and coolest find? Zune Social now allows you to broadcast your current video playlist and download finds through widgets. You can add a widget onto your Facebook or MySpace and update social friends about the hottest video you've just downloaded.
You see, watching those videos is not the only thing you could do with your Zune. Discover all the fun things you can do with your Zune video downloads now.
