i can´t make reproduce video

[monodemar]

hi, i have a i pod classic of 30gb. And i can´t make it to play videos. I convert with a lots of programs to mp4 to see, but nothing, just jump into the reproduced screen of music, someone can help me?
i think that with itunes i could but somebody told me not to do it.

Rockbox doesn't support MP4 video.  It only supports MPEG1 and MPEG2.  See the PluginMpegplayer wiki page.

ok, now i can see videos (yaii),,,but, when i see it, some times jumps, like, little but jump , so it is normal or not? i put a mpeg 1 y mpeg 2 and see the same with the little jump.

That's because your player isn't powerful enough to play video at the framerate your video is encoded at.

Look at the "Performance" table on the wiki page and lower the framerate accordingly.

As a note, you do not have an ipod classic.  The classic is the newest version (6th generation) that comes in 80, 120 and 160 GB sizes.

Also, this isn't an (un)installation question.  I have moved it.

wll, i find it, but can´t understand how to make it. with the WinFF i supose to transform it with a "14fps" in 4:3, 320:240...etc.etc...
but i dont understan what to put in the part "convert to..." i mean, the part with to blocks , one with the model (i tink) and the second the aspect.

Hope somebody can help.

Select "Rockbox" in the first box.  In the second box, select the entry for your player (you haven't said which player you are using) with the aspect ratio of the video.  Then put your desired frame rate in the "Frame Rate" box.

it's and ipod video of 30 gb. it said that i should put "14" fps, but i try with other chapter, bleach, and it was in like 25 and looks ok. What do you said?

another think: i try to see my videos on the tv with a cable A/V that conect in the port of the headphones, but when i put it, i just hear the sound and can´t see anithing.
I try with 5 class of cables, everyone A/V and can´t see.
Its the rockbox that don´t make me see or its some other problem?

Thanks.

Yes, it's Rockbox's fault - Rockbox doesn't display anything on the video-out (no-one has worked out how to).

ok, thanks for the aclaration (sorry mi eanglish, i am from chile), so: if i take it out the rockbox, i can see .mp4 and see on tv also?

one more and last question: in the ipod of 30gb, in normal mode, i can put a image as the background?

if i take it out the rockbox, i can see .mp4 and see on tv also?

You don't have to uninstall Rockbox to get back to the Apple firmware - Rockbox has a dual boot feature.  Yes, the Apple firmware allows you to use MP4 and has video-out, but you'll need to ask somewhere else for help with that.

one more and last question: in the ipod of 30gb, in normal mode, i can put a image as the background?

I assume by "normal mode" you mean the Apple firmware.  Rockbox is not a "mode", it is a complete replacement for the original firmware.

As I said, you need to go somewhere else to ask about the Apple firmware.

ok, thanks for the info, now i can start geting information. Still its bad that with this firmware can´t see on tv .
