question about how rockbox works

<< < (2/4) > >>

LambdaCalculus:
Can you at least confirm for pixelma (and everyone else here) if you're using a newer iPod Classic, or if it's most definitely an iPod video?

The iPod videos have a white or black front with a metal back, and the Classics have an aluminum front and metal back.

zmac5407:
yes, its definitely without a doubt, a 5.5G 80GB iPod Video

LambdaCalculus:
Okay, I'll take your word for it.

You can still watch videos, but bear in mind that:

A) The performance with Mpegplayer is still poor on the iPod video, partly because we're doing all decoding in software and we're not using the Broadcom chip in the video, and
B) You'll have to convert videos to MPEG-2, which is supported by Rockbox.

You may want to have a look at the Mpegplayer wiki page for more information.

zmac5407:
thank you, everyone, for all your help

zmac5407:
