WinFF Conversion Problems
« on: March 22, 2008, 01:06:15 AM »
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!

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?

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.
