nokia n73 320 x 240 screen size.

[Gareth2061]

Im trying to make a Divxtranscoding profile for my nokia n73, screen res 240 x 320.

Im looking in the config file and getting a little stuck.

<Conversion name="DivX" cmd="-y -i {SOURCE_FILE} -f avi -ab 224 -ac 2 -acodec mp3 -vcodec mpeg4 -b 1000k -vtag DIVX {DEST_FILE}" targetExtension=".avi" />
<Conversion name="Video Ipod" cmd="-y -i {SOURCE_FILE} -title {TITLE_SUBTITLE} -f mp4 -vcodec mpeg4 -s 320x240 -r 15 {DEST_FILE}" targetExtension=".mp4" />

The video ipod setting looks similar, but if I want to customize the Divx profile I dont see an option for the screensize.

A little help understanding the different fields would be great.

-f = filter?
-s = size?
etc

thanks

GBPVR uses ffmpeg for transcoding (by default, I believe you can change this these days), so you can use any of the options for ffmpeg, but yes -s is for the size.

You can see all the options here:

Do i need to download ffmpeg or is it part of GBPVR?

When i click transcode, the dialogue box dissapears after a few seconds so its not working

Its installed with GB-PVR.

Reproduce the problem, then post the PVRX2.exe.log and I'll take a look.

I'm guessing ffmpeg doesnt like something about your source file. If you try running the following command from the command line, it might tell you more:

"C:\Program Files\Devnz\GBPVR\Third Party\FFmpeg\ffmpeg.exe" -y -i "D:\Animotion\Simpsons Season 16 - Complete [rl-dvd]\the.simpsons.1601.pdtv-lol.avi" -f avi -ab 224 -ac 2 -acodec mp3 -deinterlace -vcodec xvid -qscale 5 -vtag XVID "D:\Animotion\Simpsons Season 16 - Complete [rl-dvd]\the.simpsons.1601.pdtv-lol.avi"

I'm guessing you'll have more luck with files recorded by GB-PVR.

it says the duration is only 00:00:00:05, which explains why it closes almost straight away. also it wont even let me select dvr files.

Sorry, I dont really have any advice for you on this one. ffmpeg isnt something I'm involved in the development of. You could try fiddling around with the ffmpeg command line to see if you find anything that helps, or alternatively look for a newer version of ffmpeg on the net to see if it resolves your problem.

As I suggested above, I'm guessing you'll have more luck with files recorded by GB-PVR

The commandline sub gave has a mistake; the input and output filenames are the same..

Try something simple like:

"C:\Program Files\Devnz\GBPVR\Third Party\FFmpeg\ffmpeg.exe" -i <filename>

(where <filename> is the original file you are trying to convert)

That should give you an output of what it detects in the file.. post that output, and we'll see if we can figure something out from there.

thanks sgilani. I think i may be making some mistake, all it says is that the input file is truncated or corrupted, which it isnt
