Does the Creative ZEN actually support DivX/Xvid

    My Vision:M plays 99% of content i throw at it, TV Shows and DVDs encoded to 640*480 Xvid / DivX etc just fine....

    Looking at the specs of the new ZEN its supports DivX / Xvid but after reading some reviews its seems it "supports" DivX / Xvid by converting them to WMV upon transfer... WTF?!

    So Basically my Question is, Does the Zen support the mentioned codecs like the Zen Vision M does?

    If so, yay!

    If not, FU Creative for more false advertising

    After doing some more googling I think it can actually play Xvid / DivX, but can no longer downscale media, so everything still needs to be converted regardless :/

    Could someone who has a Zen confirm this?

    Thanks

    The Xvids/Divx must be converted to 320x240 pixels to work... takes a few minutes to do this... still a hassle if video is a major thing for you.

    I don't own the ZEN, i just know how it works :-P
