which mp4box am I using? It's the latest on I found on doom9. (I think.) I think I remember reading something about the mp4 container being broken in this version of VLC. I don't know if this issue was ever resolved. I've been pretty frustrated lately about his, because I *know* I had conversion wor...

Ok, just to summarize what's going on so far: encoding using the MPEG4 (xvid?) video codec, there are no problems with converting and transfering dvr-ms, wmv, and/or asf files over to the iPod. encoding using h264(x264, not ffmpeg) video codec, iTunes will not accept the file, nor will the iPod play...

Well, I found a dvr-ms file on the mplayer website: http://samples.mplayerhq.hu/dvr_ms/ . I tested all of them according to the Ipod wiki entry, and I cannot transfer these files to my ipod at all. I get an error message that says that the ipod cannot play the file instead. Let me look at this some ...

UH, not cool. I cannot access any of your files. What's the address for your main briefcase? or PM me your yahoo ID. I should be able to access them at http://briefcase.yahoo.com/yahooID/; I'll be able to see the file from there. Off hand, I've never tried converting the files from Windows Media Cen...

cool. looking at it now ... give me some time, as I may not be able to do a full analysis today.

jwt2d, Did you download this file or do you have a copy that I can test so we can see exactly what's going on? For the life of me, I've never had a problem with the "5.5" files. I've read about the ATOM problem with the MP4 container, but using mp4box has NEVER helped (really). I have iTun...

About the wiki: should I just obliterate and overwrite what is already under /IPOD?

Well, it is a wiki. I replaced the existing entry.

Wow. It looks like you're hardcore about it. Have you looked at the new wiki entry? http://wiki.videolan.org/IPod (Self-promoting, sorry.) I've encoded many "5.5" files, with an output resolution of 640x480. I just use width=640,canvas-height=480 instead of width=320,canvas-height=240 if I...

Man, you are great! Could you add all those informations to your wiki? There is already an IPod page but your HOWTO is far better! Just a remark, VLC does not mean anymore VideoLan Client. Use VLC media player, please. Thanks for the input j-b. I'll change VideoLan Client to VLC Media Player. (Sorr...

hello! saved a radio stream with a radio play to an ogg file. now i cannot burn it to an audio-cd or convert it with any programm anyway. only vlc can play this file. why? is there a solution? charlyx If only vlc can play this file , then you can use vlc to "convert" the ogg file to uncom...

Hello fellow users of VLC. I know that it is not the goal of the VLC developers to highlight the ability for VLC to convert videos for the iPod; however, I believe that VLC is by far, the quickest and most versatile program that can be used to convert any video. Despite being my favorite, it is not ...

well, I can try your stream if it's publicly available ... Since I was impatient, I decided to do some tests to make sure I could save an "asx file" and convert to video for ipod. I used the following URI: http://raincloud.warnerbros.com/wbol/us/whv/med/thundercats/season2/clips/thundercat...

I think you should be able to open the file, select Stream/Save. Choose the output file and an encapsulation, which would be mp4 in this case. Leave the audio and video codec options alone. From a command line, it should look something like this: vlc -vvv myfile.mov :sout=#duplicate{dst=std{access=f...

using the command line, path\to\vlc.exe -vvv "path_to_asx_file.asx" :sout="#transcode{vcodec=mp4v, vb=768, acodec=mp4a, ab=96, channels=2, width=320, canvas-height=240} :standard{access=file, mux=mp4, url=my video.mp4}" vlc:quit might work. be sure to replace "path to vlc&qu...

i've been using it as is ...

what problem are you running into?

Ah come on, don't give up so easily!

Try it with --audio-track 1
--audio-track 0

But don't just give up ...

Without using the "Wizard..." Select open file, choose your file, then select "stream/save". Click "Settings...", select your output file, video/audio encoding. At the top of the window, you should see the output MRL with the "target" box containing something ...

try this out, but you need to now the number that corresponds to the english audio track:

--audio-track=<integer> Audio track
Stream number of the audio track to use (from
0 to n).

sadly, yours also seems to break output frame rates.

This seems to be a display problem in VLC, and not broken output frame rates.

Transcoder, I've discovered that the frame-rate reported in VLC is not correct. If the file is examined in Quicktime Player, you can see that the set FPS is the actual FPS of the file. (FPS set with the "--sout-transcode-fps 25" option) http://www.kludgeroo.com/linked/videolan/vlc_fps_disp...

Any ideas? Let me just start by saying that these are just shots in the dark. I know that the video bit rate does not stay at exactly what is specified, so maybe at around 29 minutes, there's a bit rate jump beyond the limits of the ipod? Try setting the video bit rate at something like 512kb (or 7...

I use the following batch file to convert the mpg files from my tv card to mp4 for my ipod. To use it, I just drag the mpg file onto the batch file icon. @REM Remove the quotes from %1 variable for vlc paramters @SET infile=%1 @SET infile=%infile:"=% @REM Strip directory paths from %1 ... @FOR ...

maybe this will help?

Hey java, What are your source video specs? I've had trouble in the past when transcoding certain input containers to file, especially if the file is corrupt. The iPod seams to only really like 320x240. I've also noticed problems with my CPU corrupting data, because it is getting too hot while encod...
