i tried the mplayer way.

when i did, it said that mencoder wasnt a valid command.

any help with this?

my text looked like this:

mencoder -vf scale=240:180 Scrubs.520.avi -o Scrubs520.avi -of avi -ovc lavc -oac lavc -lavcopts vcodec=mpeg4:vbitrate=230:acodec=mp3:abitrate=64

I have to teach tonight, but when I get back I will post a review of the BlackBerry WEB Video Generator.

It works fine. It basically eliminates the step of having to save the YouTube URL, download on one of the many free sites and then converting.

You simply enter the YouTube URL in the BBWVG field and press the convert button.

The program then downloads the video from YouTube and converts it for the Pearl, all in one process.

Works well.

Bye for now.

Downloaded BBVC and it quickly converted most of my personal videos of the kids. Nice

I then popped in the matrix dvd, and started the BBVC. It reconized the dvd and started the process. I watched it for awhile and it was erroring quite often. 'Duplicate Frames' and other errors I dont recall. Once the BBVC was complete it saved the file to my laptop then I put it on the Pearl. It was horrible and was only 4.86 megs. Do I need to do more to convert a DVD other that hit the start button?

can you hlep me i wood like to wish movie on my phone blackberry 8100

how can i wish movie on my blackberry 8100

Sounds like that DVD is encrypted. My program will not decrypt it for you. You will need to use another software to decrypt it to an .avi first and then use my software to put it on your pearl.

Thanks for using it!

any good recomendations?

I personally do not ever decrypt DVD movies, but I think that some of the guys on this forum are using DVD decryptor. I think it is free.

Anyone? What do you use to decrypt the DVD before you Pearl-ize it?

PS - I am going to copyright "Pearl-ize" so don't any of you hacks out there even think of ripping it ;)

Sorry, I already bought the domain name a few weeks ago.

Bonu$ Tip: Everything i$ for $ale.

I am having a problem encoding a video onto my Pearl. I have followed the steps using SUPER and everything appears to run smoothly but then when I connect my Pearl to the computer and enter Mass Storage Mode then go to media manager, the media card is not recognized, just the device memory.

I tried not entering mass storage mode and the media card was recognized, so I put the encoded video on my pearl and tried it but it said the format was not supported even tho i believe i followed all of the steps correctly.

What is the problem?

These are the steps I used:
Output Container= avi
output Video codec=H.263
Aspect=11:9
Frame/sec= 14.985
Bitrate kbps= 576

Why are you trying to do this manually?

Read this thread and download Bacon's FREE video converter. [see the link contained in his signature].

End of problem.

i hav installd the super v 2007.bulid.21.....but i am anable to locate my encoded files.....???can any one help me...

I've been using Blackberry video creator. is awesome, easy and great quality, still uses the memconder and eliminate the DOS steps, averythin is donde through windows. I like it a lot. still haven't figure it out the DVD functionality right, but I have Ricki Bobbi on my pearl directly from the DVD, I try another movie and didn't get it right, I'll get it.

You need to specify the output folder [where to put the encoded files] otherwise Super C buries them into its folder.

Anywhere on the interface right click the mouse.

Scroll to and highlight "specify the output folder"

Left click with the mouse.

The folder menu will open. Select where you want to save the files.

Make sure to click "save settings."

Bonus Tip: I have most any work I do saved to the Desktop, then I move it from there into whatever folder I want.

Default saving to Desktop is handy because I always know where my work is saved rather than having to go look for it in whatever default directory Programs decide to put something.

youtube video aren't working. I keep getting an error, saying it's not compatiable
why someone please help

ty

which solution are you using?
BBVConverter (you tube (flv) works)
BBVGenerator (you tube (flv) doesn't work according to San Francisco)
Mencoder (you tube (flv) should work)
Super (don't know)

does anyone know how/ if it's possible for full screen video without the controls

Use the search feature for BBF to find the answer as this has been discussed in many threads, starting 5 months ago.

Short answer: no.

Well, pretty skimpy with the info, you are.

I suspect you are trying to simply play downloaded FLV [YouTube] videos?

You can't do that. You have to convert the FLV files into Pearl format. In fact, with all videos you have to convert them to play on the Pearl.

The good news is that the converter program is FREE.

All you have to do is install the free BlackBerry Video Converter program, see link within this thread, select the FLV YouTube video for conversion, load the converted video on to the Pearl and play away.

Bonus Tip: Read this thread, will save you a lot of time in wondering why things are not working. E.g. discussion about having to convert FLV files is in here and elsewhere on BBF.

BBVC Version 1.13 full installer pre-release is available
