a few MPEG viewer questions

[hazzard]

ok i downloaded what i needed to change the size. the wff or something like that. i changed the presets and when i got home from school around 2 05 i started to convert.... well its 900 om here should it take this long? the video size is 769mb

[krazykit]

On a slow computer, it's gonna take a long time.  Video encoding is hard work.

[Skeith]

Heh I unno about that, I used to be able to do a 700MB divx video to MPEG for VCD in less than 4 hours on my 500Mhz AMD K6 back in the day.

What is the speed of your machine?

Also If you have inneficient codecs installed that too will cause the encode time to increase.

[Llorean]

WinFF uses a separate ffmpeg binary, it really doesn't matter what other codecs you have installed because it doesn't use them.

Please, don't try to offer random advice without becoming acquainted with the specific situation, it just adds to the confusion.

ok but when it was done i put it on the nano and it wasnt able to play. this time should i try the ipod linux one?

[AlexP]

Please do not post the same thing in two places.  I have removed your other identical topic.

[hazzard]

ok sorry.
just wanted to find a faster way to find out how to get video on the nano i can get it on but its just to big for the screen i need help on doing it i read the manuel but its not helping

[bascule]

Did you use the provided xml settings preset file for WinFF?

There is no way to happily view movies on your nano other than using native MPEG-1 or 2 videos or converting other types to MPEG-2

[hazzard]

yes i did put in the preset.xml they told me to put. i just dont know how to get the full video on the screen

[Chronon]

Which preset are you using?

[hazzard]

the one that the manual said to change to. i just dont know what to select when the winff is up like the ipod linux 4:3 etc..

"ipod linux 4:3" is not one of the options.  Choose the preset for the Nano.

[hazzard]

i took alook but i didnt find a preset for the nano

[Llorean]

Then you didn't properly install the .xml file from the wiki.

[hazzard]

ok this is what im doing.
i downloaded winff 2.9
i copy the presets from the manual
i paste it in to a notpad doc and saved it to the winff fole in C drive
now i went to open it and it said access violation
