MP4 Convert Tutorial

[GiPiKay]

Can someone update de video conversion (with srt files if possible) tutorial that's on the wiki?
I've tried to convert on 0.9.2, but I always get some error.

Thanks in advance, for any help!

Proper command line for 0.9.2 is:

Code: Select all

vlc -vvv "my_video.avi" :sout=#transcode{width=320,canvas-height=240,vcodec=mp4v,vb=768,acodec=mp4a,ab=96,channels=2}:duplicate{dst=std{access=file,mux=mp4,dst=video.mp4}} vlc://quit

When using: mpeg-4 videocodec(sp) max 320x240 resolution, max 768Kbps, mpeg-4 audiocodec(aac)max 48Khz audiosamplerate, max 16bit audio bitdepth, max 2 channels
...then it's compatible with any version of PSP firmware, yes the older firmwares included. (playstation portable)

(yes I fart on the I-hype, lol)

And if i want to add SRT subtitles?What should I add to the command line?

[jeroensky]

The GUi has a option to add subtitles(use a subtitle file), do this before using the conversion.

I've already tried the GUI, but I always get ERROR.
Later I'll paste the specifics
EDIT:
And here's the sub error,with the GUI

Your commandline is bad. Specially whitespaces might cause issues if you don't use "" around filenames or commandline options.

I just tried this on Windows Vista running it off of a flash drive in Windows XP SP2 compatibility mode, and it started saying that the program stopped working and then proceeded to shut down. I then tried it on my Windows XP SP2 computer, and that also gives me an error. Anything you guys can think of? I am trying to get a DVD I burned a long time ago on another computer on my PSP, and have tried using the h246 video codec with the MPEG-4 audio codec, and it just doesn't show up on the PSP as a usable filetype. The PSP is version 4.05 if you need to know.

So VLC crashes when you try to run the commandline I gave you?

[angel14995]

Well, it converts overall correctly, but when put on the PSP, it shows up as a readable file, and then when it is chosen to play, it says that it cannot. I'm thinking the problem is that VLC can't do different bitrates. It shows up on the PSP as having a MPEG-4 1024 kbps video codec when I know that the command line you wrote out have vb=768.

Try to add vt=0 to transcode line and see if it helps.
