why won't my mp3 play video?

I brought an mp3 player the other day, the eclipse 8.0 touch. Plays music just fine, and the box says that it plays videos,HOWEVER:

1) when I convert videos to avi (the recommended format) it wouldn't play. I also tried FLV (the other reccomended format).

2) It will play the video on 3gp videos, but not the sound.

3) I downloaded that 5 second "dramatic chimpmunk" video for a test (in 3gp), and it plays just fine. The video and sound work. But trying to download a two minute music video wouldn't work in the same format.

Anyone know what they hecks going on? Thanks in advance.

    You didn't mention which specs and software you were using for the formats conversion- however- I say try to convert the files you want into AMV format.

    Online, open source converters are easy to find online (which means they are free and legal).

    If AMV doesn't work- try mp4.
