Video convertion help needed
pizzahedd:
Hey. I have a 1 gen ipod nano with rockbox installed. All i really need is a clarify somthing for me. I have winff installed on my computer. When i tried to convert somthing that was only about 5 minutes it took A LONG time. Like 3+ hours. If this is normal you can just tell me and ill shut my mouth and wait. When i was looking at the main MPGE player page and the one thing that i kind of got confused on was #3.
"Run WinFF, pick your desired player from the list, type in any overrides in the boxes at the bottom of the window"
Is this part nessicary cause i didn't really understand it. I never really had a list in my version of winff. I did have a list though on what type of videos i wanted it to convert. The only ones i really thought were compatible were "Xvid for ipod" and "H.264 ipodlinux".
I also saw this vid on youtube:

and his convertion was only about a minute
Thank you for your help. :)

First: You did not properly replace the presets. This is why your list doesn't have the right options.
Second: WinFF isn't our software. We mention it in the wiki as a solution, but we really don't provide support for it.
Third: We especially do not provide support for "Random youtube videos." If you want to know what he did, email him and ask...

Sorry about the youtube thing. I didn't mean i needed help with it. Â I just meant it as an example of his speed. How should i replace the presets? I right clicked the presets and saved the targer, saved it to the desktop, and moved it into the winff folder it and it said it replaced it
Llorean:
Well, you're converting to the wrong format anyway, h264 won't play in Rockbox and takes something like ten times the amount of time to convert to, if not more, for many people.

Did you follow the instrctions on the wiki ?
The format for Rockbox should be mpeg2 video.
