So..i got a video ipod. How do you guys transcode videos? tell me plz.

ahahahahaha :ROFL
nice job mal.

i like my ipaq hx4700: tcpmp will read off any container and codec, and will auto-fit video size to screen. and with a handful of large SD and CF cards, i can just copy over what i want without worrying about transcoding~

^ same here, anything not HQ resolution will play, TCPMP even scales WMV's to full screen.

To bad they do not sell them anymore (and a WM6 version will probably never be done) there are some compatitors now (HTC's come to mind and the new Toshiba)

i'm learning how to write batch files to facilitate my laziness in utilizing vlc to transcode. yay.

New Question:

When I watch videos on my computer from my TV.. the Video shows up but the Subs don't.. And on my Computer I can see the subs (Hello MOrning) and yeah this didn't happen before when I didn't format...

And I am not too sure what the problem is... I know it has a little relevance to the SoftSubs as of course if I watch a HardSub they show... Any idea's?

---
Also sorry but again after format for my AIM... the Buddylist seems to be right but whenever I type/IM or view profiles the font is in 'ClearType' but I have my computer set at 'Standard' so I was wondering what the problem may be...

I'm trying to make an OPV an I need the files in avi, but I downloaded some videos that are h264 (like this: http://forum.jphip.com/showthread.php?t=8560). Anyone know what I can do to change them to avi? If it matters, I don't need the audio.

frblckstr1 · « **Reply #766 on:** February 22, 2007, 06:59:39 AM »

^ I use mplayer (thanks to haposai if I remember correctly for the pointers

to convert, search the forums for mplayer and you should also find some commandline samples.

You're welcome to thank me for anything you want, dude... but it wasn't me !!

You can also try using vlc to remux the mp4 file into a avi file directly. Another option is to first remux the mp4 into a mkv file with mkvtoolnix. Then you can try AVI-Mux GUI to remux into a avi file. h264 may not always work in a avi container though. It is better to work directly with the mp4 or mkv file if possible.

If you really want flexibility, you might want to take look at avisynth. But that is way more complex than simple remuxing.

Use google to find the tools mentioned.

What program do you need them to open in? as in what program are you using to make the OPV?

Sukebei · « **Reply #770 on:** February 23, 2007, 01:47:39 AM »

I can tell you right now extracting the raw video from my files and trying to put them in AVI won't work, it's not x264 VFW. I haven't tried everything to try and get it in AVI without re-encoding, as I have no reason, but it's certainly not supposed to be in AVI., If you found a way it would probably be pretty messed up lol. You'll most likely have to transcode the file to get it in AVI like others have said.

ebc · « **Reply #771 on:** February 23, 2007, 06:51:05 AM »

There is a simple way, it's

directshowsource("pathtofilehere.mp4")

Put that in a text file and save as .avs and you can open that in virtualdub no problem. That's why I asked what program you were using to make the opv. Some programs are able to take avisynth scripts but others aren't.

arun.yothin · « **Reply #772 on:** February 23, 2007, 07:15:08 AM »

Thanks for helping. I was doing some other stuff and forgot about this. I'm using Sony Vegas to make the OPV.

Does it matter where the .avs file is? I did what you said, but got an error saying

Avisynth open failure:
DirectShowSource: Could not open as video or audio

Video returned: DirectShowSource: the filter graph manager won't talk to me

I'm gonna be busy for a while so I won't be able to try anything out until tomorrow.

tiny · « **Reply #773 on:** February 23, 2007, 08:21:52 AM »

Code: [Select]

directshowsource("pathtofilehere.mp4")

This is an example of a very simple Avisynth script.

You need several things:

- Avisynth
- a Directshow MP4 parser/splitter filter (try Haali Media Splitter)
- a Directshow AVC/h.264 decoder (try ffdshow)

Put the avs file in the same folder as the mp4 file, else you have to enter the full path. There's also an option to not open the audio from the mp4 file, see the Avisynth documentation.

that's ok take your time
actually depending on the res you wanna use for the opv, one option is to just grab the xvids i uploaded

not sure if this belongs here.. but i think it does so here goes.. how do i transfer a video from my computer to my phone? i got the file over but it wont play in my phone.. what am i supposed to do??

fullyinsane · « **Reply #776 on:** February 26, 2007, 03:26:38 AM »

what phone do u use? player name & version?...which software u used to convert the video in pc? probably u need to update the player in ur phone or use older converter in ur pc....

make sure u know ur phone will play the type of file...

smoothee · « **Reply #777 on:** February 26, 2007, 03:55:38 AM »

ahhhh i see.. i dont know any of that stuff.. ahaha.. i just know that my phone is the sony ericsson w850i and i just transfered the files with the USB directly into the memory stick

hmm i'll go ask around i guess.. thanks!

ferrar1 · « **Reply #778 on:** February 26, 2007, 04:26:15 AM »

if i remember correctly, w850i only plays .3gp video format.

So you have to convert the video file first before transferring to your phone. And remember to resize the video to your screen's resolution.

smoothee · « **Reply #779 on:** February 26, 2007, 08:00:50 AM »

argh.. i dont know how to do any of that

any websites that could help?
