AVI is a troublesome format for support on devices ... it's likely only possible to play it if you convert it to some other format. Try http://www.winff.org/ - it has a Creative Zen preset.

2. can you get more apps for it?

I don't think it's that kind of device

3. Apple has itunes what has creative got??

The Creative is drag-and-drop, which means you just put the files on with Windows Explorer, no need for software. If you want a media play similar to iTunes, try WinAmp. Windows Media Player will also work for syncing the device.

Back up any files you have on the device first.

for videos the codec you use is very important. I still haven't cracked this issue myself - a lot of the videos I transfer lag toward the end of the video.

The pre-loaded videos seem of the highest quaility possible, maybe there's a way of finduing out how they are encoded?

right from my search the codic should xvid but still dnt have a converter
