I thought I would start a new thread that maybe I can con a mod into making sticky...
There are a couple methods that have proven sucessful, here is the one that I use.
Will output to an mpeg4 .avi file:
Download the MPlayer encoder from here:
www.mplayerhq.hu
You don't need the codec pack for encoding to the proper format for the 8100
Then in the mencoder window encode with:
If you’re running Widows XP and if the mencoder program closes upon opening then proceed with the following steps:
1. Right click on mencoder
2. Click Create Shortcut
3. Right click on the Shortcut and click Properties
4. Change the Target to: C:\WINDOWS\system32\cmd.exe
5. Click Apply
6. Click OK
7. Now click on the Shortcut to mencoder.
Note that with the above code, the <output file> has to be an avi, but the <input file> can be just about anything you can play on your computer.
Also Note that if your input file is widescreen, this will compress it down to Pan-and-Scan ratios. You can play with the "scale=240:180" option for widescreen input and output.
Works like a dream.
Method 2: From
another post in this forum. I take no credit/flack for this method.
Will output to an H.263 .avi file
Go to
www.erightsoft.com then freeware tab>super>download, then install and open the program.
Note: you can also go direct to
www.erightsoft.com/SUPER.html#Dnload.
Next, edit some of the settings.
Like so:
1.Select the Output Container= avi
2.Select the output Video codec=H.263
3.Aspect=11:9,4:3 or 1:1
4.Frame/sec= 14.985
5.Bitrate kbps= 576
Now right click on the program and select specify the output folder destination and put wherever you want the files to be saved
Now drag and drop your file into super and hit Encode(active job list files)
Next go to your output folder select the file you want on your BB and copy it. Now connect your BB and enter mass storage mode and paste the file into your BlackBerry video folder.
Enjoy all.
