why no audio?

[fishlover900]

Ive been looking at all the posts and have downloaded nearly everything (i think) but the best ive got is a episode of futurama on my nano to play smoothly but with no audio. Ive also got the elephant video that plays jerky but has audio. Ive trued using VLC whihc gave me the smooth versino with no audio. What have is missed out as i dont really get what/ how to convert to the exact right settings?

Thank you

Are you using an official build?

[fishlover900]

what do you mean?

[Llorean]

Actually, more importantly, how did you convert your Futurama video. The problem is most likely that you converted it improperly.

What instructions are you using for conversion? The old .bat file won't work for audio.

[fishlover900]

Ive been dragging mpg files onto the VLC-transcode batch file which makes a copy of the file in vlc file format, i then open it in vlc and save it to my ipod at the same time it converts it to mpg.

"The old .bat file won't work for audio."

There is also no "vlc file format" so I have no idea what you mean by that.

You should be using the directions on the PluginMpegplayer page.

they were converted then when i right clicked on then they had a .m2v extention

.m2v is a video stream with no audio.  As Llorean said, "the old .bat file won't work for audio."

[Llorean]

M2V files are video only. For the third time: The old .bat file will not work.

Edit: Fourth time, apparently.

[fishlover900]

so which part is the new part, is it still with the porgram or with another one as ive looked at the page again and just got confused...

[Llorean]

There are two sets of possibilities on the page. For VLC just use the command line they mention.

Try the attached batch file instead of the one that is on the wiki.  (Note:  you will need to change the filename from VLC-transcode.txt to VLC-transcode.bat)  Let me know what happens.

M2V files are video only.

I have a couple dozens videos on my harddrive that have the extension .m2v and perfect sound. I did not encode them myself, so I don't know why this is exactly, but how is it possible if m2v's are only raw video stream.

The .m2v files that were being created with the old instructions for mpegplayer didn't contain audio (and .m2v files shouldn't, but you can of course change .mpg to .m2v and you have a ".m2v" file with audio...)
