.mov files

(1/1)

Maelstrom:
Hi all,

Just a small question, does Rockbox support .mov files? I've downloaded some music from a website using Quicktime Pro and that seems to be the only type of file it will save as.  ??? They are only audio though and so I tried to add them into the rockbox directory, but to no avail.

Can someone help me out here?


Cheers
M.

No.  Rockbox only supports audio in it's "native" container format.  If they're just audio, you can demux them into whatever that may be (mp3, m4a, etc).  Quicktime can probably do this, and if not, I'm sure you can find something on Google to do it.

WinFF can also convert pretty much anything into an MP3 or WAV. Give it a shot.

QuickTime Pro can export .mov files to other formats.  In some cases you can do it without transcoding, and it will transcode if necessary.  Open the file in QuickTime Player and select File -> Export.
