T10 WMV Tutorial by Narvin

[Zolxen]

Wow.... my List:

MediaMonkey
Windows Explorer
Super

I could use just two, WE and Super, but MM has better support for ID3 tags, plus autotags mp3's from filenames or the internet. I only use WE to put mp3s on quickly if i need to pop a new album on with only 2 minutes before i have to leave.

Takes me about 10 minutes to convert a 5 minute movie clip and put it onto the player. >> And mine always plays perfectly with incredible video quality (have about a gig of video on there (some 35 5-10 minute clips...)

OK.... here it is...and its portable. Took a few hours, and its my first program in Delphi so it still needs work... but its a start.

Read the Readme.txt first.

Let me know what you think

[Zolxen]

Wow. Pretty good with the couple I've tried so far. This is amazing work there! The only thing I would recommend is a Finish Dialog box. All the log says is Writing Index forever. But quality is awesome, small file size. good work!!

Didn't work for me at all. Selected a file clicked on proceed and it did nothing.

Just using emodio now. for some reason files converted using anything else (inc Super) had HUGE AV sync issues.

[Zolxen]

Most likely has to do with input video. With some forms of .avi and .mkv, the playback frame rate and the recorded frame rate vary. Example: CamStudio Screen Cap software records at nearly realtime. Every 5 ms, a frame is captured. To make up for this insane frame recording, the software tags the video to playback at 200 frames per second. Trying to re-encode the file results in....well... a disaster. If the recorded frame rate and playback frame rate are off even a few tenths a frame a second, its enough to cause A/V delays and funky behavior. Some programs can compensate for it. So far as I know, Super does not.

Hey,
while following your steps, i got up to the last step, where you click 'ok', then 'apply' to start the conversion.

However an error occurred,


The following error occured while setting up the source Source 1:
ClassFactory cannot supply requested class
(0x80040111)

help ?

A video Test File WMVTEST.wmv(Right-Click "Save Target As")

Cheers, hope everything works out alright for you.

How do you stop it from stopping you from transferring the file? (In windows explorer) I get 3 options, Cancel, Skip, and skip all!
Damn!
Your cute little program built the .svi file, but it wont let me copy it over.

Is it because of what is inside my .svi file?

They started on my canon digital camera. One was an mpeg4 I think, and the others avi's. Window movie maker cant make a compatible WMV out of them thats for sure. I guess I will try the Windows encoder front end next.

I just wish there was one perfect and quick way to do it!!! I wish that Samsung would put out a product that worked easily

There is and I hate to say it...Samsung's own EmoDio!

Thats hilarious.

I just tried to transfer a few mp3's with Emodio. Transfer was succesfull, when I went to open them in the player "file not found".

I drag and dropped it in explorer and prest-o change-o they transfered faster and actually played (I am sure this is an error on Samsung's part).

Emodio is crap. It's just an extra step and use of resources for what should be a drag and drop process.

I only use emodio for video. I use MediaMonkey to transfer music.

I have 2 questions :
1. I can't use Divx as my video codec, but with Xvid I have no trouble at all (except have to find the right setting ), but which codec do you think is better, Divx or Xvid for T10?
2. Is WMV better than Xvid on T10? Because I feel like it took longer time to convert my video to WMV than Xvid (not to mention I haven't found the right setting for WMV)
Thank you

Emodio works fine for me.

[radiohead]

hey narvin, I followed every step, and it worked for the most part, but I keep getting this error that says, "the parameter is incorrect." So it only encodes about 30 seconds and then I get this every time. Any idea what's wrong?

[coline3007]

Hi Zolxen,

I have bought a T10 and since have been forever trying to get videos to play on it. I came across your tutorial using Super and tried it. I followed all the steps but when I stick it on my T10 and try to play it i get the "not Supported Format" message. I reviewed the settings and tried angain but i get the same response each time.
Any help is appreciated.

Cheers

I have found that some video files can be synced to the t10 via WMP11. These videos have to be; 320x240, Audio and Video 64kbps each, Audio sample rate 22kHz, 15fps and stereo.

This was in windows 7 rc (the kick ass os)

Have you renamed the resulting file? It'll spit out a filename like Test1.avi.

The T10 does not support .avi (per se...), you need to rename the file to Test1.svi.

You may need to disable Hide File Extensions in Control Panel and Folder Options to see the full file name, otherwise you'll have a file called Test1.svi.avi which is still an .avi file.
