has anyone tried running this on a linux amd64 system yet? I keep not having time to try it at home and I've got nothing here at work to rip.



just tried, it "runs" but lots of people are having a problem getting to actualy encode something, and I'm one of them :/

so far I'm sticking with my modified version of menc ( http://www.noid-project.de/menc/menc.html )

Media Converter for Nokia 770
Version 0.70 18.2.2006

0.70:
- Improvements on subtitle handling.
- Improvements on errorconsole behaviour.
- SRT subtitles are supported in UTF-8 and ANSI encodings. Unicode format is not supported.
- Added font check to subtitles. Pops up error console if font is not found.
- Added encoder check. Pops up error console if not found.
- Support for NO AUDIO. Leads (maybe) to better playback performance. At least smaller video size if no audio is needed.
- New video resoution 288x208. Comments needed on which resolutions are the best. Too many options now.
- Dropped frame cap from 352x208. Comments needed if revert to 15 fps cap for that resolution is needed.
- Compiled for java 1.4 target. If problems with java 1.5, let me know.

I will do my best to get this to work on linux target as well. It's really not a big thing. Just the call to mencoder. At the moment the call is made in rundirectory/encoder and it calls ./mencoder there. So you'd need to put the mencoder there to run it. Recommendations?

I'm having some problems on OSX. It converts fine, but I can only do one file at a time. If I do multiple files, when it starts encoding the second file it overwrites the first one.

Thanks for the comment. I'll look into it.

I don't know why, but I'm having a lot of failed converts, and mencoder errors. I'm running Java 5.06

You are probably missing java installation from your computer. You can get java from here: http://java.com/en/download/index.jsp

New release folks.

0.72: 13:27 27.2.2006

Fixed critical bug that made user unable to process many files on one go (required restart between files).

OSX and windows versions have been updated.

Hi,

After downloading the Media Converter 0.72 and converting (Video Resolution 288x160 DIVX, Video Bitrate 384, Audio Bitrate 64) succesfully a movie resulting in the following details :

- 288x160 pixels
- audio (1:35:38 hh:mm:ss), 66kbps, mpeg layer-3
- video 23 frames/sec, 24 bits, DivX codec

I copied the converted and working .avi file towards my rs-mmc card located in the Nokia 770.

When starting the video player and selecting the converted file, the total play time and size is correctly recognised, but when selecting the file to play, it results in the following error (within the Video Player) :

Unable to open. File format not supported.

Can somebody tell me what could be the problem ?
Do I have to install additional software on the Nokia 770 ?

Thanks in advance, Jan

Do you have the latest firmware? This is just a guess, but it might have something to do with the resolution (288x160). Or it might have something to do with the 23 fps (although I doubt it). Or it might just have something to do with the video player being quirky. Are you able to open the given ice age video at the moment? Sometimes video player just starts to refuse to open anything. Restart helps (maybe something else as well).

Oh yeah. I remember reading about some firmware version fixing some aspect ratio issues, so if you have an old one, that might also be the case.
