Nice to hear that you like the color enhance feature. Do you think it's too strong? I'm a bit in between of tuning it down a bit. Not sure. Also, would it benefit from more gamma or brightness? I'm been too busy doing other stuff to have the time to really try it out with videos.

They are exactly the same, but mencoder that they use might not be the same. Media Converter is supposed to use half fps (for 352 resolutions) if it's able to detect the source video fps, but 15 fps if not. Apparently this halving *should* give more reliable audio sync than using 15 fps. I haven't had the luxury of being able to investigate it further. Comments on this subject are very welcome.

As to the advanced settings, well, ... you might as well make the call in a command line if you want to tweak the call. You can use the error dialog to see what calls are made. Now, I might add a feature that would print out just the calls to the error dialog for easier editing.

I'd like to try the new versions....
 

but for some reason I get a "Forbidden" error when trying to download the OS X version from the most recent set of links in the thread. Did I miss something earlier in the thread about downloading?

Thanks,

VOB files
 

First thanks for a great app, mister!

I'd like to know if you could tweak VOB encoding so that the aspect ratio will be correct when played back on the 770?

Hey, great app, I used in on Linux today and it worked perfectly. I've tried to download the OSX version but I'm getting permission denied, as I see at least one other posted has already mentioned.

Encoder ON the 770 ....?
 

It's probably way impossible to get this encoding program actually to work ON the 770 itself? There is now a P2P program for the 770 called "Nicotine" and we can download movies right on the 770 now! It actually works, and it works really well, and doesn't crash like you would expect since Kazaa and other P2P's on the PC's caused them to slow to a halt and crash, and one would expect even further problems on a little handheld. P2P on the 770? I just can't believe this. :D

Since the 770 is my only computer right now, it'd be nice to be able to convert the videos on the 770 itself. However, I am guessing that this would require all of those codecs to be installed on the 770, which in effect would negate the need for this software to be ON the 770 in the first place!

What we need ARE more codecs! Isn't there anyone out there who is trying to assemble a team of hackers to port codecs for the 770? Or am I only dreaming here?

:p Ah well, say "LA Vee" and let bygones be gone. :rolleyes:

Ciao.

Permissions are fixed now. Thanks for letting me know.

kontorri,
as i so in Error Console it revers: if it detect source FPS it put 15 (in lin), if not - half (in win). I think that it problem of mencoder, because in win it also does not detect SSE1,2,3DNOW... In Linux all Ok.

Concerning changing Brightness, Contrast and Gamma... My opinion to change gamma only, because it make changes in lightness shadow, but not change Dark and Light objects. As exampe to 1.5

hi there, I've done a test conversion using the clip found at the above link and found that, yes, I do get static. The audio is garbled in all my conversions made on OS X.

There's static after the conversion of your clip as well. You're right, I have a PowerPC. The two clips I tried to convert were WMV and mpeg 3 I'll send you a PM regarding e-mail address.

I start to beleive that it is a bug in the new OS2006 video player. When playing converted file in Win XP without problem and in Nokias own player I get green artifacts on some edges and on big bright areas.
