ipod video mpeg player

L:
Ah sorry, I assumed that was a command prompt window and that he was just trying to reach the folder

jacobts:
umm i tried both ways, programfiles and program files

jacobts:
ok, this has become confusing, im talking about making the videos playable through rockbox by resizing them and making them .m2v. so im not sure what to do, when i type in "c:\program files\videolan\vlc\vlc.exe" it opens videolan player like its playing striaght from a dvd, when i try putting in
 cd programfiles\videolan\vlc the command prompt tells me too many peramaters.

again hopefully someone can explain this too me.

thanks

That command (with the missing slash) will only work if you are in the root directory.
Again you need to type program files (with a space) not programfiles.
You also don't just run VLC, you need to enter all the parameters of the conversion in the command line.


So:
1- Copy the file you wish to convert to the VLC folder (not necessary, but please do to make this simpler)
2- type (from the command line):

--- Code: ---CD \Program Files\videolan\vlc
--- End code ---
3 - type (from the VLC folder you just CDed (changed directory) to)

--- Code: ---vlc < input > --sout=#transcode{vcodec=mp2v,vb=600,width=< the width >,height=< the height >}:es{access-video=file,mux-video=es,dst-video=< filename >.m2v}
--- End code ---
All one line,
replacing < input > with the name of the file you wish to convert.
replacing < the width > with the width in pixels of your player's screen
replacing < the height > with the height in pixels of your player's screen
replacing < filename > with the name you wish to call the output file.
