I’ve been having a hell of a time getting video playback to work on this frame, but I finally got it working, and wanted to share a couple of tips. I’m going from Apple’s iMovie to the ViewSonic digital frame. From what I can tell, iMovie will not export into a compatible format. The frame says it support MPEG-4, but what I have discovered is that you need to use XviD MPEG-4 with MP3 audio. I was able to export from iMovie, then use ffmpegx to convert the movie using the “XviD [.MP4]” video codec setting, and setting it to use MP3 audio codec at 128 kpbs and a sampling rate of 44100 Hz (for some reason the default sampling rate in ffmpegx was 48000 and the frame did not like this). Although the resulting file will not play in QuickTime, it does play in VLC and in the digital frame.
And it only took me 4 hours to figure it out.

Last year for Christmas we bought several View Sonic Digital Photo Frames. Most of the frames were used for presents and the others as gifts. After a few months ours stopped working probably. The picture would fade out. View Sonic replaced it. Now the current one won’t work. The screen just remains black. We will buy another Digital Photo Frame but it wouldn’t be View Sonic.

I just bought two of these for my parents and they are great. My parents had no problem working them and they loved how they can just put their camera’s sd card right in the back to view pictures. The only thing that could be better is the random play stuff. You will see a lot of the same pictures over and over.

The picture quality is pretty good. There are tons of ports for multiple number of devices and the frame doesn’t not require any software installation. It is extremely easy to transfer pictures even to the devices plugged into the frame. The frame looks stylish. The buttons on the bottom look cool but they are sometimes hard to press. he only thing that’s bad about the frame is that you can’t display the pictures randomly and that’s a pretty easy feature to implement. Overall great frame for the price.

I purchased this digital photo frame for myself because of the large internal memory capacity and I liked the design of it. When I received the frame and attempted to load my photos on it, it kept telling me there wasn’t enough space to put even 1 photo on there. I called Amazon and they ordered me a replacement frame. The second frame came and had the memory it was supposed to have, but there was a “dead” pixel in the middle of the frame that showed up as a bright green spot in every picture. So, I called again and requested a refund. It is a beautiful, sleek looking frame but another downside is it leaves every single fingerprint all over the frame. Do yourself a favor and be cautious when ordering this frame, do some research and read the reviews and if you decide to go with this, I hope you have better luck than I did.
