MPEG Player Does not show my movie file?
bascule:
1. Go to Settings > General Settings > File View > Show Files and select All
You will now see the file in the folder you made.
2. If you have set up WinFF properly (i.e., followed step 2 of the instructions to replace the presets.xml file) you should not have to select mpeg2.
So fix your WinFF installation, convert another video then let us know the result.

As you said you can't play it on your device, I presume you mean this is on your PC.
I suspect that re-encoding (generally crappy) YouTube videos twice may have some bearing on this situation... :P
SataniK:
Well the avi I get before I convert it does not play but when I convert it the mpgeg plays but is very pix elated. Now I didn't see anything about a .xml setting. I am sorry to say I am lost on that part.
Llorean:
Well don't convert it to an AVI first. Or if you do, convert it to a very, very high bitrate one. And play them both on your computer. Rockbox doesn't magically make the file more pixellated, so it's simply something you're doing while conversion.
All Rockbox does is play valid mpeg-1/2 files with 44.1khz sound in the right format. Everything else is pretty much up to how you convert it, and quality problems are usually because of the settings you use.
Transcoding reduces quality, and you're doing it multiple times on already low quality files.
SataniK:
No I can't even get them to play on my iPod the avi is showing up pix elated on my computer screen so where do you recommend a video and using the WinFF converter what should I convert it to? I chose mpeg 2 but the above post says something about .xml???
Llorean:
The AVI isn't *supposed* to play on your iPod. Rockbox doesn't support them. I'm not sure why you keep repeating that it doesn't play, because the wiki makes it perfectly clear that it doesn't.
Please, read the PluginMpegplayer wiki page again, more carefully, it seems to answer several of your questions at once.
