iriverter - A Simple Cross-Platform Video Converter - Page 20

Iriverter works fine now. Very impressive. You are an excellent developer, of that there's no mistake.

I'll be picking up my H340 from the post office this afternoon, it'll be fun to try the video player out once I flash the Korean firmware onto it (Yeah, it's an EU model but I'm not using sissy European firmware =P)

I can see now why people use such high bitrates. I don't know why, but it seems that bitrates make damn little difference to the size of the actual video, but plenty to the quality.

I'm probably being an ungrateful bastardage, but any chance of being able to specify other video sizes in future versions? I've been wanting a decent video transcoding GUI frontend since I switched to Linux (God how I miss Virtualdub!). Previously I had to use FFMPEG (the least user-hostile of the CLI transcoders) and suffer the appalingly bad audio MUXing. Your use of mencoder appears to eliminate that bug.

I have iriverter 0.09 working well on Linux, but using the same command line with 0.10, i.e.

java -Djava.library.path=. -jar iriverter.jar

I get a load of java errors like these

I am using jre 1.4.2 on Mandrake. Does anyone have any idea what is going wrong?

I am really sorry if this is already somewhere in this thread, but geese its long!! How long is it taking you guys to rip DVDs, such as episodic ones (like simpsons, or Family Guy)? The other nite, I swear it only took me like a few minutes to rip an episode now it says 90 mins for one episode??? I have a pretty new DVD burner/reader...any suggestions?

edit** like 30 frames per sec, is this normal..I thought I was getting 100+ the other nite?

DtLr2610 · #**764** (**permalink**) March 16th, 2005, 12:05 AM

ive been having some problems with the DVD function. everything loads up fine but my problem is that it doesnt show the input/output part.when i click convert a window pops up thats completed and the video isnt converted, cud sum1 plz tell me where i should put the input output part?

thenobody · #**765** (**permalink**) March 16th, 2005, 01:33 AM

Is there anyway of boosting the volume on converted videos? Much in the same way mp3gain works. I know about the normalising of the audio but it makes the audio distorted and with popping sounds.

I get this audio distortion with normalising too. So at the moment I do without the normalising as iriverter is such a good product otherwise.

I was wondering if this has happened to you and if so can it be fixed? (if not i guess i can always manually do the chapters.)

I've also had this problem. Both with .09 and .10
DVD's convert perfectly, but almost always have a few seconds missing between the 2 sections. It's not always noticeable, but sometimes it skips important parts of a speech, at which time you can't miss it.

xradman · #**769** (**permalink**) March 16th, 2005, 09:19 PM

However when I tried to convert an avi file with name in Korean, the program hung on reading input video. Any chance of making this program unicode compatible? Pretty please...

mysticum · #**770** (**permalink**) March 17th, 2005, 11:17 AM

Once again (didn't get any answer last time): Will there be support for subtitle files in the future? And if so, is it coming soon (within a few releases) or will it take longer? For me, iRiverter is a great program, but close to useless if it can't handle subtitles.

MrStaticVoid · #**771** (**permalink**) March 17th, 2005, 07:36 PM

Splitting tries to divide the videos in half directly. A few seconds may be missing because mencoder tries finding the nearest keyframe to split around. I guess I can have it overlap a bit to avoid this problem.

xradman, iriverter is unicode compatible, its MPlayer that isn't. Nothing I can do.

mysticum, I really wanted to add this code into the gui, but I was taking too much time and wanted to release 0.10. As a way for me to justify this I added the "Extra Options..." option where you can manually pass mencoder options. You can specify a VobSub file in the Extra Options:

Quote:

without extension, i.e. without the '.idx', '.ifo' or '.sub'.

-vobsubid <0-31>
Specify the VOBsub subtitle ID.

It is vital that you don't have any spaces in the path or iriverter will freak out so move your subtitle file to C:\ and remove spaces from its name you have to.

You can also specify the subtitles from an ogm or mkv with "-slang en", "-slang jp", etc...

This is only temporary.

mysticum · #**772** (**permalink**) March 18th, 2005, 02:22 AM

MSV: Thanks, I feel ashame, I read through the MEncoder documentation for something like this, but didn't find it.

I have been away for ages and have now come back to convert some of my realmedia files, put now i have downloaded 0.10 it doesnt seem to work, is there anything special i have to do or install with version 0.10 to make realmedia files to convert?

Coke · #**774** (**permalink**) March 20th, 2005, 02:59 PM

I have a problem with the iriverter,
It works well on all files i try to convert, except .mov files.

It conversts them and all, says complete, but when it's done, and i put it on the h320, it says file not supported..

anyway to fix it?

Same problem here with java 1.4.2 on ubuntu.

Linux users,

java -cp iriverter.jar:swt.ja r -Djava.library.path=. net.sourceforge.iriv erter.ConverterUI

It's only temporary. Eclipse decided to go editing my files

Real people, for converting Real Videos, you need to unpack http://ftp5.mplayerhq.hu/mplayer/rel...050115.tar.bz2 to the place that you have iriverter installed.

Coke, what bitrates are you using?

IDunnoMyName · #**777** (**permalink**) March 20th, 2005, 07:59 PM

I just ripped ATHF season 2 and i was all set to watch it on the H320 for my first video, but I got an error. Not Support Skipping... any tips or suggestions?

Thanks

hey,

just downloaded iriverter, and it looks amazing, but i have a problem with it. im using 0.10, and i am trying to convert a MPEG file, does it really fast(the clip is only 9 seconds so ya know..) but it says Not Support skipping, and im like eh? im sorry if this has been posted before but i dont really have time to look through the whole 40 pages. All i do is open iriverter, click n drag then click convert, am i missing something out, cus the videoplayer plays the video, but my river doesnt......
