Playing converted movies

[Guest David Horvath]

Hey Guys,

I want to watch movies on the train/airplain but i've converted 3 movies and there is a 1-3 sec delay in sound. I have apps on the sd card, i have 128Mb swap as partition, i've tried 3 players, but with the same results.

Does anybody has any experience with this? Any advice?

Thanks in advance,

David

I seriously doubt that it's a problem with the players - much more likely to be a problem with the way that you converted the movies...

I used ffmpeg and a script for G1. On the PC its playing fine... What do you suggest, how to convert?

[Guest urom]

did you play the videos on your PC? is there the same effect? I had such problems too, but they were related to conversion failure. How did you convert them?

oops, a little late :-)

Google "format factory" and give it a try

Format Factory is windows only. I'm trying now http://www.linuxrising.org/transmageddon/ . Its mencoder based, we'll see.

I've found this: http://www.transcoder.org/

Looks awesome..

And they have Android presets..

Try Handbrake out. I use nothing else to convert videos.

Thanks for the tip. I'm running Transmageddon, but will try this one also. Thank god i just bought a 4 core pc :lol:

It seems Arista is making a really good output. The file is a bit big, but seek is really fast and the audio is in sync. I can only recommend it. http://www.transcoder.org/

Hi Everyone

First post from a Senior Citizen Newbie.

Using the many Guides and Instructions on this brilliant Forum I have a Pulse running FLB's 1.6 rom and it is working very well.

Like you, I wanted to watch some movies etc whilst travelling or when waiting for the other half Shopping!!!!

I converted some AVI files using "Any Video Converter" and using Real Player watched them with the same result as you, slight delay on sound.

Yesterday whilst browsing I came across a program called RockPlayer which plays DivX files. I found it was in the Market so downloaded and gave it a try. On my Pulse it is working well, but still has a slight delay to the sound. I can live with that, because the advantage of being able to drop my AVI files straight on the SD card without having to convert them is great.

Give it a try, it might at least save you some time. Good Luck. Jim
