I got the presets.xml file to work and it seems like everything was going smoothly. When I hit convert, the command window came up and vanished as soon as it appeared. I went into the preferences and enabled the pause after encoding and it threw me this line:
"Error while opening codec for input stream #0.1"
If someone could throw me a bone on the subject, I'd greatly appreciate it. This is getting irksome, considering I've tried other encoders and I can't get my audio and video to sync up at all. I figured the one you guys recommend the most would do the trick, considering its got the recommended presets.
Please Help!
-
Which operating system, Rockbox target, and preset are you using?
-
Windows XP, I have a Sansa e260, and I've tried both the 4:3 and 16:9 presets.
-
What is the audio format of the input file?
-
-acodec mp3 -ab 128 -ar 44100
The Preset for the Sansa e200 series.
-
Of the INPUT file, not the desired output file. The message "Error while opening codec for input stream #0.1" suggests that the version of ffmpeg you have is being choked by the audio stream of the file you're trying to convert.
-
Well I'm dumb... I tried another file and it worked, though its really not the file I wanna convert. I'm unsure about how to check the audio type of the file, outside of the fact that I know its an .avi file.
I apologize for being un-informative. This is my first time doing A/V type work. How would I go about checking the audio format?
-
Well, ffmpeg should attempt to identify, and tell you what it thinks it is, in part of all the information before the error message.
-
I think this is right:
"Stream #0.1: Audio vorbis, 48000 Hz, stereo, 0kb/s."
Is this right?
-
Yeah, but that suggests there's something strange about the input stream. 0kb/s is untrue (if it were there'd be no audio). I'm really not sure what to suggest for testing the avi file with. As far as I know, though, Vorbis shouldn't be in AVI containers. Does it work in programs (and most specifically, can you seek forward and backward in the file?)
-
I use a media player called Media Player Classic that I obtained through the Combined Community Codec Pack. The file I'm trying to view can seek forwards and back and it has sound and decent picture.
-
See if Media Player Classic has a file properties option.
-
I think that file just has an error with it. It'll let me access the file properties of other media, but not of the file in question. I think I'll just have to re-rip it. I'm sorry for the trouble, but I think I've solved it on my own, however, I'll post again if I have any more problems.
Thanks for your help. =)

Sansa e260 are not good. I had one, and all it could do was freeze. http://www.walmart.com/catalog/product.do?product_id=7789700
^ I'd go with this one.

1) Rockbox does not run on the Sansa View
2) I have no problems with videos on the Sansa e200.
