I have been using this for a while with my ipod, but for fun got a zune but i am having conversion problems, 1st is hhow can i convert it for the zune i know it uses wmv and mp4 but all the settings i have used when i transfer to the zune it wants to convert it again, 2nd when i do convert wmv i hearpoping and jerking and the video is like almost 5 minutes behind lol any ideas thanks guys

has its own encoding got anything to do with DRM? even if the files are compatible perhaps it uses its own wrapper like DVR-MS is to MPEG?

[kirewade]

no uses wmv only

What are you using to convert? I just picked up a zune today & I'm not sure where to start...

I saw that one on the net, but I wasn't quite ready to part with more cash.

I did a lot of exploring last night and actually came back to gb stuff.

I'm at the office right now sorry I can't give you the exact file name, but there's a program called gbconvert or something similiar (sorry it was a very late night. I'm paraphrasing the exe name.)

Anyway the basic syntax is sourcefilename destfilename WMV

It takes a while and Zune does a second conversion to get the audio codecs "right", but this had the least amount of video noise and best playback out of all the methods I tried.

I've also played with importing into microsofts various editing / converting packages & the results were, well dismal. This may be my complete lack of knoweldge on the settings.

Super is commonly recommended in the Zune forums, but it doesn't seem to like anything I've recorded with GBPVR. (Super is a front end for ffmpeg)

I tried about a dozen different suggestions for IPOD with ffmeg and while they work (requiring a second pass by the zune software) I wasn't happy with any of them.

Only the MS conversion software didn't require a second pass in Zune, however it has some of the worst play back. (Could be me).

Anyway I'm sure either gbconvert (what is it actually called?) and / or ffmpeg could be automated, but I'm still in "learning mode".

Hopefully something in this over-tired rambling helps somebody

Cheers!

I heard it was something to do with square vs round pixels or something. Dunno.
