VLC issues

[jdoe]

I find that when converting it is a lot easier to just the converter on VLC instead of using the command prompter. But when i do this (and when i say easier i mean i cant use the command prompter), i only get the audio, and not the video. I've tried using different formats and different videos and the result is the same. Any suggestions?

This seems to be a VLC isssue, not a rockbox one. I would try to contact them on their board if they have one.

An easy way to test that would be to play the output file on your PC.

I  have, all that is being converted is the audio

In that case, this isn't a Rockbox issue at all.

Well not really.

I have VLC converting the files and i get an audio and a video. the PC says it is in mpg but rockbox doesnt play it. It says "buffering" for a few seconds and then cuts back to the menu.

Can you make the video file available for download somewhere so I can analyse it?

there's the link for one of the videos. I uploaded it as a .zip. Please let me know if you find anything.

The problem with that file is that it's an "MPEG-2 Transport Stream", not an "MPEG-2 Program Stream".  The latter is what mpegplayer expects and requires.

Oh, alright. Thank you.

One more question. I used the wizard to convert a file and i only wanted a partial (i was splitting it into three parts). I selected the extract partial stream option and set from 00:00:00 to 00:09:34 but it kept encoding past 9 minutes 34 seconds. and then when i tried to encode the second part (oo:09:34 to 00:17:45) it just started encoding the whole file again. any help?

File splitting works more or less.

File splitting works more or less.

Why do you need to split the files?  

[gnu]

Because rebuffering doesn't work fully (yet). Or has it changed?

Yes, rebuffering is now implemented in mpegplayer.
