You will need to adjust the paths below. The first one is the path to mencoder.exe and the second is the folder to put the converted video.
The script will take a file "my_video.mpeg" and re-encode it for the 8100 moving it to a folder and naming it "my_video.avi
My scripts puts it into a folder on the desktop called Video.. The tricky part was using the "%~n1" variable. This will give you just the filename of the file dropped onto the batsh file, without path and extension.
Code:
@echo off
echo %1
C:\Progra~1\eRight~1\SUPER\mencoder\mencoder.exe -vf scale=320:240 %1 -o "D:\Profiles\w13760.FSL\Desktop\Video\%~n1.avi" -of avi -ofps 24 -ovc lavc -oac lavc -lavcopts vcodec=mpeg4:vbitrate=250:acodec=mp3:abitrate=64

PURELY AWESOME!!! This Batch script works great!!! I tweaked it a little (just for my file locations, etc.), and it works flawlessly.
Thankyou --- Danimal4326 for all of your work!!!  |

I can't get P DVD Studio to work with any output files on my Pearl. Mencoder works great. I have selected .avi for the output and a variety for frame rates with no success at all. Any ideas? |

No video if played on the computer -
11-08-2006, 10:15 PM
Hi, First Post!
Read through the entire thread. Using the original script from the first post, everything seems to work fine. When I try to play the 40 MB file on the computer using Windows Media Player I get audio but no video. It says "Error downloading codec". Should it play video? Can't try the BB yet because my memory card did not arrive yet. Any thoughts on what I did wrong?
Thanks, Drew

Once you transfer it to your phone both the video and audio should play. |

Try testing the file with mplayer?
Start -> Run...-> C:/Programs/mplayer/mplayer.exe filename.avi
You have to point it all to the right paths, of course.
Works for me.
dirty deeds done for a fair price...

For Linux users there are several GUI tools that help encode video such as "KVideoEncoder", "ManDVD", "3gp movie wizard", etc. See http://kde-apps.org and GnomeFiles - GNOME/GTK+ Software Repository for more information.

How do you do this step? Do I have to do this step by like typing that whole thing out and manually entering in the input file name and giving it an output file?
Sorry if this is a retarted question |

Hi guys - new to the forum, hoping you can help.
I've downloaded and installed SUPER as in the first post and managed to successfully encode 1 short movie clip with no problems.
However, since then every time I use SUPER or Mencoder.exe or any of the other similar front-end GUIs my whole PC completely freezes as soon I start to encode.
I've uninstalled and re-installed everything several times but keep encountering the same problem.
Any ideas?
Win2000
AMD AThlon XP2200+
1024MB RAM
NVIDIA GeForce FX 5700
Many thanks in advance

Wrote a little front end for the mencoder for all you guys who are not familiar with DOS or don't wanna use it.
Can download it here
Website:home dot comcast dot net/~cas2777/files/BBVE-1.zip
Should be pretty self explanatory. Let me know what you guys think.

You'll need the .NET 2.0 framework.

I have the NET 2.0 framework, but I thought I should load it again just to make sure. I still get the error message when I try to run the program. I am not having luck converting a quicktime movie into into a form that I can use on the 8100. I am clueless when it comes to DOS so I went the Super route and it comes up with an error message every time I try to encode the quicktime movie. I am excited to see what cas27 put together, but I cannot get it to work.

I just tested a .mov file and it worked fine for me.
Do you have a link of a mov file you're trying that I can test with?
