Well you need to know low-level languages and create a firmware.. I think.

I would start by looking at some existing open-source players, so you can get an idea of how complicated the process is. You can program an mp4 player, but that doesn't mean it will be easy.

Where can we find an open-source mp4 player? And in what language you think they are programmed?

[alfy]

i know some c++ and visual basics and i am a quick learner

my player is an apex digital e2go mp-2000

Do you have any engineering background? If not stop now. Try something simpler like a "make my first computer" kit. You need to understand the structure of the device to do anything usefull.

(You could attemp decompiling the firmware, but thats a. illegal, b. almost certainly written in basecode and wouldn't make sense to you)

First of all, you need to understand the structure of the device to do anything useful and the better you must know some c++ and visual basics, if you do so, I think it is totally possible for you to program your mp4 player:rolleyes:

I hope you two know this thread is from 2007.
On topic: Check out Rockbox.
Edit: By the way, Visual Basic isn't going to help you program an mp4 player. Anyone who says otherwise doesn't know what they are talking about.
