ipod video mpeg player

[d47]

this thread is quite amusing ^^

the video support in rockbox is a god send for the gigabeat, aswell as everything else about rockbox. i am also a linux user and the gigabeat room software is only available in windows and on top of that encrypt everyhting to .sat, so its imposible to just drag and drop like rockbox supports. so thx a bunch all the rockbox developers =). i wonder if that guy ever managed to resize his videos?

I have downloaded the VLC program and used this command:

vlc input.mpg --sout=#transcode{vcodec=mp2v,vb=600,width=320,height=240}:es{access-video=file,mux-video=es,dst-video=output.m2v}

VLC opens and seems to transcode the file but when its finished i can't find the "output.m2v" file.

If you are on windows, search in C:Program Files\Videlan for it. It should be inside there somewhere.
Keep ROCKing on!

Problem #2 is that those instructions you are following are from before mpegplayer played audio.  Those instructions will create a video-only elemental stream.  Mpegplayer currently wants a fully muxed .mp(e)g file.

See the VLC instructions here:

i used the newer instructions and those worked too but when i found the file it was only 4 bytes, and it wouldnt play on my ipod either...  thanks for the advice by the way.
