i want to convert moviez (700mb/4GB) to ipod nano 2g display format.
the tool http://www.rockbox.org/ hacks ipod nano g2 and done video plays!
a plugin names "MPEG Player" for dropbox made it to run videos (http://www.rockbox.org/wiki/PluginMpegplayer more documentation for perfect codec and displaysize& format to runs on ipod nano for small volumen on ipod...)

i need help to convert this moviez.
vlc shows an error with this message (german):

• Streaming/Transkodierung fehlgeschlagen:
  VLC konnte den Encoder nicht öffnen.

i use this options:
input: videofile.avi
codec=

• video> mpeg-4 624x225 29,970089fps audio> mpeg-layer1/2/3 stero 44100Hz 48kb/s

convert to
output setting: mov.mpg
codec=

• video> mpeg-ps mpeg-2 200kb/s 176x132 audio> mp3 2channel 44100Hz

all setting information from http://www.rockbox.org/wiki/PluginMpegplayer ... its right?


edit: i have testn it with a music video (youtube) and it runs but not with big moviez)

Please share all the logs.

And current VLC MPEG-2 encoder is SUPER picky about resolutions and framerate, so settings that it doesn't like will produce errors.

how can i get the compleetele log??
