Mpeg Player walkthrough please
jvhc:
Hey,
I've read the wiki page about the mpeg player, and various threads on this forum, but I still don't really understand how to play videos.
I have a gigabeat, and i'm using a pretty recent build.
So, I downloaded WinFF, and installed that fine. I then downloaded a video of youtube using 'kissyoutube'.
http://www.kissyoutube.com/watch?v=vthpdqtOXeM
It downloaded into an .flv file.
I then went on WinFF and added that file and pressed 'convert'. I selected to convert to Rockbox, Toshiba Gigabeat F/X 4.3, and didn't change any other options.
It then came up with an error, saying..
Seems stream 0 codec frame rate differs from container frame rate: 1000.00 (1000
/1) -> 25.00 (25/1)
Input #0, flv, from 'C:\Stuff\bif.flv':
Duration: 00:04:37.68, start: 0.000000, bitrate: 64 kb/s
Stream #0.0: Video: flv, yuv420p, 320x262, 25.00 tb(r)
Stream #0.1: Audio: mp3, 22050 Hz, mono, 64 kb/s
WARNING: The bitrate parameter is set too low. It takes bits/s as argument, not
kbits/s
Could not open 'C:\Stuff\Vids\bif.mpg'
However, it said 'Could not open 'C:\Stuff\Vids\bif.mpg'', but the file I downloaded was in .flv format.
...Which makes me think that i've missed out a step??
Llorean:
This is a problem with WinFF, not software we write or provide support for.
You should see if WinFF has help channels (or in this case, probably you'll get redirected to ffmpeg support, which is the program that does the actual conversion).

Ah right okay. I thought it was something that I missed out.
So basically, all I have to do is download the video from youtube as a .flv file,
then convert it into mpeg? Then it'll play on the mp3 player?
Thanks.
LambdaCalculus:
That's pretty much it, although I have had better success using VLC to convert FLV files to MPEG2 videos for Rockbox.
Your mileage may vary, of course.

Okay, tried using VLC, using the info on the wiki.
I downloaded the VCL-transcode.bat file, and drag&dropped a video onto that, but the command prompt just flashed up once and went, and I don't think anything happened.
