<h2>Introduction</h2>
|
||
This is a simple tutorial (or, at least, as simply put as possible) on how
|
||
to convert your video files to RVF (Rockbox Video File), to be played on
|
||
the Archos Recorder / FM Recorder / V2 line.
|
||
|
||
<p> Other option is to get the GUI Video Conversion Tool from John Wunder, which
|
||
can be downloaded from <a href="http://home.ripway.com/2004-2/66978/RockVideoRelease.zip">
|
||
http://home.ripway.com/2004-2/66978/RockVideoRelease.zip</a>. (Windows users only)
|
||
|
||
<p> See also Fabian Merki's <a
|
||
href="http://merkisoft.ch/rockbox/">msi-rvf-gallery</a>, a Java program for
|
||
building RVF movies out of individual JPEGs.

<h3>How To Convert AVI to RVF</h3>
|
||
<p>
|
||
<b><big>This Process Is For Windows Users Only</big></b>
|
||
<ol>
|
||
|
||
<li> Convert your movie file to an AVI file, uncompressed, and with the size:
|
||
112x64. There are quite a few programs out there that will do this for you,
|
||
so I will leave this step up to you. One such program is "BPS Video
|
||
Converter" available online. Use google if you need.
|
||
|
||
<li> Download the tools required here:
|
||
<a
|
||

|
||
Unzip to a PATH, such as C:\RVF, that is easily remembered.
|
||
|
||
<li> Press START on your taskbar, choose RUN and type in the box (minus
|
||
quotes): "command" You should now be looking at a command prompt. If you
|
||
don't know basic DOS commands, here is what you need to know:
|
||
<br>
|
||
Use 'cd' to change dir (format: cd [dir]) IE: "cd .." to go UP one, "cd
|
||
ROCKBOX" to enter a path "ROCKBOX"
|
||
|
||
<li> Navigate to your PATH in DOS prompt, using "cd" as illustrated above.
|
||
|
||
<li> Run the file, avitoyuv, which was in the packet you earlier downloaded, using the format:
|
||
<pre>
|
||
avitoyuv [input.avi] [output.yuv]
|
||
</pre>
|
||
For example, if your AVI movie is called "filename" then you'd put in the following:
|
||
<pre>
|
||
avitoyuv filename.avi filename.yuv
|
||
</pre>
|
||
|
||
OPTIONAL: You can name the output file differently, whatever you specify it
|
||
will be called. INFO: This can take long to convert.
|
||
|
||
<li> Now run the file, halftone, which was in the packet you earlier downloaded, using the format:
|
||
<pre>
|
||
halftone [input.yuv] [output.rvf]
|
||
</pre>
|
||
For example, if your YUV output from step 5 is called "filename" then you'd put in the following:
|
||
<pre>
|
||
halftone filename.yuv filename.rvf
|
||
</pre>
|
||
|
||
OPTIONAL: You can name the output differently, again. INFO: When this is
|
||
done, a long list will appear on your DOS screen and you will be back at the
|
||
command prompt again.
|
||
|
||
<li> Next step is adding sound to your video file. Run the tool avi2wav using the format:
|
||
<pre>
|
||
avi2wav [input.avi] [output.wav]
|
||
</pre>
|
||
For example, if your original file is called "filename" then you'd put in the following:
|
||
<pre>
|
||
avi2wav filename.avi filename.wav
|
||
</pre>
|
||
|
||
OPTIONAL: You can name the output differently.
|
||
|
||
<li> The extracted audio file must be in mp3 format, so you have to convert the WAV file into MP3.
|
||
One option to make this is using the LAME codec. You can download the win32 binary from <a
|
||
href="http://mitiok.cjb.net">http://mitiok.cjb.net</a>.
|
||
One format used with LAME (good quality/size) is:
|
||
<pre>
|
||
lame --preset standard [input.wav] [output.mp3]
|
||
</pre>
|
||
For example, if your audio file is called "filename" then you'd put in the following:
|
||
<pre>
|
||
lame --preset standard filename.wav filename.mp3
|
||
</pre>
|
||
|
||
OPTIONAL: You can name the output differently. Also, you can use other wav to mp3 tool, or even use
|
||
other options in the lame command. NOTE: The --preset standard will give you a VBR file, so if you want a
|
||
CBR file, just change the preset to --preset cbr [kbps], where [kbps] is the Constant Bit Rate desired.
|
||
|
||
<li> Now we have to merge the sound with the video, so run the rvf_mux tool found
|
||
in the packet you've downloaded, using the format:
|
||
<pre>
|
||
rvf_mux [option] [videoinput.rvf] [audioinput.mp3] [output.rvf]
|
||
</pre>
|
||
For example, if your video file from step 6 is called "filename.rvf" and the audio file from step 7
|
||
is called "filename.wav" then you'd put in the following:
|
||
<pre>
|
||
rvf_mux filename.rvf filename.mp3 filename_av.rvf
|
||
</pre>
|
||
|
||
NOTE: You can use any name for the output file, but it's recomended that the name is not the same name
|
||
used in the input video file.
|
||
You can change the frames per second of Rockbox playback using the -play_fps [fps] option. The default
|
||
value is 67.0 fps.
|
||
|
||
<li> Copy the .rvf output to your jukebox, load up a recent daily build and
|
||
plugins, and kick back and watch the movie!
