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 Zune first entered the market, a lot of people are guessing that there is no way it can play QuickTime movies and videos with a MOV format. The reason is simple. QuickTime's owner is Apple. So is iPod. And iPod is a direct competitor to Zune, a product of Microsoft. However, this is a misleading perception. The Zune is powerful enough to play WMV, Windows Media Video and MOV files. Other than these, the MPEG family of MP4 and MP4V are all playable on the device.
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.
The Zune software is also capable of organizing and managing your video library. Categorizing and tagging your Zune vide downloads is easy and convenient. The software is the perfect tool to sync or automatically update the video files on your Zune whenever updates are made available. If you are a video podcast or internet TV subscriber, then you will really appreciate its convenience.
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.
Another remarkable feature is the Zune Social, a wireless capability that allows you to share information about your latest Zune video downloads and playbacks. You can activate the Zune Social so that your device can detect other Zune players within a close range. Then you will be able to know what the other Zune owner is playing in his device right now. But that's not enough!
Imagine the excitement of finding a cool video? You would love to share it and that is where Zune Social steps in to help. You can easily broadcast your video playlist and downloads through flash widgets. Place that on your social networking profiles like MySpace and FaceBook and you can let the whole world know about this interesting video you just downloaded.
Thought downloading and watching videos were the only things you can do with Zune? Do more than just downloading. It's time to diversify, manage, update, sync up, and share your Zune video downloads.
