[IN AVConverter i have error with MENCODER.EXE ]

Wait a second, you have the trouble playing or converting?? If it's res change you need to do, it's easily doable with VirtualDub... framerate too...

WilsonPL, Your player may need a codec pack, try installing the K-Lite Mega Codec Pack HERE.

yeah i installed codec pack and i still got the same error "MENCODER.EXE", i tried convert with other programs but my player cant open these files.

tadaad can you upload some converted avi files [for rockchip]
Oh and btw you using AVConverter or other application to convert files.?

WilsonPL,

So the "AVConverter" program was what came on the cd with your player?

Your player doesn't look like an s1 MPx player, it seems like a PMP (portable media player) instead using a totally different chip set to what we are more used to here.

I'll see if I can find another .AVI converter.
I know some devices that player .AVI require some very SPECIFIC settings in the .AVI for it to display correctly.

the tadadad have rockchip player, and i think he can help me
i need some sample avi file : > or program or settings for some program ; ) [ or help with mencoder.exe error]

WilsonPL, I do not have a RockChip player you should PM "bsaylors" he has one.

MENCODER.EXE error is most likely you don't have the proper codec to process the files you want to convert using AVConverter that comes from that player.
There are 2 solution:
1. Downloag CCCP http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Combined_Community_Codec_Pack
Install it, then try the AVConverter again.

or

2. Download Xilisoft Video Converter 3.1
(http://www.xilisoft.com/) its a trial,
you can purchase or "God knows how" to make it full version.
and Use this settings to convert video:
Profile: XviD Movie (*.avi)
Zoom: Full (Keep aspect ratio)

Video : (Similar to High Compress settings in AVConverter)
Video Codec: Xvid
Video Size: 224x176 (It has to be 224 not 220)
BitRate: 200 (above 500 quality gain isn't noticeable)
Frame Rate: 20
Aspect: Auto
Same Quality: False

Audio : (Equal to High Compress settings in AVConverter)
Audio Codec: mp2 (MP3 won't work)
Bit Rate: 64 (96 is the high quality seetings in AVConverter)
Sample Rate: 44100
Channels: 2 (Stereo)
Disable Audio: False

With these settings you should get a file roughly the same size and compression that the AVConverter gave. The beauty about this Xilisoft software is that you can do batch encoding so converting multiple video for the PMP is a snap.
*The advantage of using AVConverter is that I found the Video converted using the AVConverter has better quality than the Xilisoft result (For the same file size and bit rate). So its up to you.

If anyone can recommend a better converter software, please post it. Cause I'm not etirely satisfied with Xilisoft quality.

Hi There!
I'm new on this forum and perhaps I can become a bit useful in this issue. I've experienced EXACTLY the same problem with a generic device named BOOLEE - straight form China...
Checkout here: Boolee devices
For few weeks I was struggling with all possible converting software and penetrating web forums - with no result.

Endpoints:
1. Early this year a new codec was introduced in China and is used practicaly only in this region:
MEncoder Sherpya-MinGW-20060312-4.1.0.
2. It acts like an XviD 1.1 final, but it's not and delivers a lot of trouble.
3. Don't bother to search for a download, because there is no standalone version yet (Nov, 2006).
4. Also don't try to discuss the quality of this codec - the issue is propper shrinking and displaying on mentioned devices...
5. Meanwhile, forget also such good tools as VirtualDubMod, WisMencoder or (very modern modern open-source) - MediaCoder - including MEncoder settings.

All you need is the original AVConverter v 1.0 with the Sherpya codec inside:




Features:

No installation required
Contains all other codecs & filters
Conversion time: ca 5-10 min for a 1,5 hour movie
Compression ratio: 2:1 (350 MB out of a 700 MB movie)
Compatibility: I've checked it on WinXP and 2K => O.K.
Volume - ca 30 MB (unpacked)
GUI language: Chinese simpl.('till now) but very simple:

Usage:

Input file name
Output file name
Click the button (lowest, left) to convert...

TroubleMaker 2:
RESOLUTION. Analysed: 224 X 176 => this is false!
Encode using 220 X 176. If you analyse the output file (i.e. with GSPOT) - you will find out it's 224 X 176...


Although the name of such a device is "MP4 Player" - most of these simple players originating from China are based on the same chip and configuration which accept only AVI files, so don't use an iPod processing machine for a mp4 output. - It wont work! (of course - unless it is reccommended by the producer).

Feel free to email me on details.

KINRU
P.S. Don't ask me for the AVConverter - try eMule or other sources - it's a freeware.

Try Total Video Converter v3.02. you may convert to any format that you wish.

Has anyone solved this problem yet?
Ive got a new player and cant convert any videos because of this issue. If somebody has the AVIConverter 1.0 PLEASE UPLOAD!. Im going to install the latest version of the Xvid codec and see if 2.0 works.I will report back if it does. Ive tried virtually everything without any results.

Please upload 1.0 to this site if you have it.

Hi all

this is my first post so hope it helps someone

after buying a new 2" PMP player after being used to my1.8" MP4 model I suddenly discovered that it was a rockchip machine and started to panic when I thought that I couldn't convert my videos

However those very kind people at Uxcell have a programme that works perfectly with my machine
it can be downloaded here AViConverter 2.0 software



I am now so happy with my player , the 3d sound is amazing and the ability to adjust the sensitivity of the recording microphone is a blessing at rock concerts

I'd highly recommend you taking a look at a rockchip player !!

Oh BAM..... You Rock dude... This is what I've been looking for. The same no frills BEST AVConverter but with Batch Encode feature.

Just one thing to note

I have used DVD shrink to initially extract the Vob files to my hard disk before converting to AVI with this software but I realised last night that when you do this you need to only burn the audio track that want to be converted, do not burn multiple audio tracks.

there doesn't seem to be an option in this software to specify which audio track you want and it automatically selects a track for you in the AVI
When I didn't do this and just converted the Vobs, I ended up with the first Vob file with my english audio track, the second with the directors commentary, the third with Spanish and the fourth with German !!
