KILLER app man.
One questions:

Is there anyway to schedule batch encodes with your app, or run a command line version that could allow scheduling?
I would love to be able to automatically rip files based on a source folder. THis would allow me to rip my TV shows whilst I am sleeping and have them ready to watch for the journey to work the next day.

Any ideas?

Thanks again for all your time invested into this. Im a total Newby and you have made life much more enjoyable for me already

Simply use the directory option. This allows you to batch convert any number of files. Also you can rip a DVD single file and directory by simply using the Jobs/new option to select the tasks to do.

youl need java and net framework 1.1, if you cant be arsed to get them then you shoudl be able to run iriverter 0.12 fine

Untrue the project has needed Java since day 1 and if my memory serves correctly .net framework too.

Astec123,

I dont just want to be able to batch convert, I would like to be able to automate conversions on a nightly basis using schedules (no human interaction required). I realise there is a batch option, Im more interested in a schedule option, or the ability to automate conversions on a daily basis

Any other ideas?

i would also like to know: do all versions of the iriver h340 play video like the us version and the european version and so on and how do you know what version of iriver you have any answers to these questions would be very helpful thankyou kindly!

I *think* the us version does NOT have the usb host connection wheras the international/european version has both the host and usb2 connections.

as for iriverter simply put a dvd in drive start iriverter look at options and make sure iriver h300 is selected.

you can set bitrates for audio and video but most people tend to have around 300 for video and 128? for audio. oh and select normalise sound as otherwise it may record a little quiet

simply select where you want to save it and click convert, really couldnt be any easier, such a simple to use app

I have a quastion for all
U10 will be out, it has video support.

But, this video format is the same as H300?(I think Yes from the catalog.)
And iriverter will use for U10?

iriverter is very cool, and I want to use for U10

Hi there, Im a newby in the IRiver scene, and I was just wondering if I still need to use IRiverter to convert AVI files before transferring them on to my River, I have the H340, and although the avi files were recognised on my Dap, I couldnt play any of them, it just kept saying "cant play skip", if that makes any sense, any help with this would be appreciated. I have already updated the firmware to the latest version on Iriver.com

mencoder -noidx -ovc copy -oac copy -o outputfile.avi inputfile.avi

I can add this functionality to my program if a lot of people want it.

Hi there I was just wondering if a file is already in AVI format, do I still need to use IRiverter to convert it for the IRiver H340. The reason I ask is because I found out recently that the IRiver H340 can play video files in AVI, however although I updated the firmware to the latest, I was unable to view any vids in AVI format on my Dap. It came up with a funny message saying "cannot play skip"

any thoughts on this would be appreciated

You need to specify the output file name and path = e.g C:\temp\test.avi

I've found that for big files the progress bar doesn't move but the software does work.

Hi guys,

here´s the profile for the U10. Checked it, works fine.

Just create a file called u10.profile in the profile folder of your installation and paste these lines into it:

device=U10
maxVideoBitrate=384
maxAudioBitrate=128
dimensions=320x240
maxFrameRate=15

I´ll contact MSV separately and see if he will incorporate it in the next release.

Rgds.

Yes, you still need to convert. Even though your file is an avi, it probably is not encoded to the correct specs for the H300 player - namely: xvid avi, 220x176, 10 fps, 128 kbps audio, video under 500 kbps (best rate varies with type of video - animation, action, etc. - start around 320 and experiment). There are lots of ways to convert, but iriverter is about the easiest.

[captainpants]

ello all,
does anyone know what is up with this, i have been trying to download iriverter for OSX from Sourceforge but everytime i do i get a returned error message from the site saying that the file can not be recognised. anyone any ideas. is there anywhere else that i can get it from?
im a little at sea with this (and i get sea sick to boot)
hasta siempre

I'm having some slight problems with iRiverter. I read and searched through this thread and others but couldn't find an answer. Maybe I overlooked something, with 55 pages it's very possible...

ANyway my problem is that when I re-encode movies, they always some out in 320x240 no matter what setting I have it on. I would prefer 640x480 so it looks good on a big TV.

So instead of iRiverter (which would be #1 if the settings worked) I tried PocketDivXEncoder but then the Audio/Video sync is off... I might just end up coompromising something here unless there is a solution.

Oh yes... and while I'm here, when I use iRiverter to rip a DVD the video is always fine but the sound is only static. And I followed the directions properly, I'm pretty sure. Maybe I'm doing something wrong that somebody else has done as well and has a solution to.

Anyway... enough complaining, because overall the program is great, and has definately been helpful. Just so I don't come off as an ungreatful bastard

Last night i spent near 2 hours sifting through this thread looking for a solution to my problem. The problem was that converted .WMV files were ending up greyscale and running at about 0.3 fps.

I was running ver 1.25 of the firmware on my h340 and version .14 of iRiverter.

The solution i found after reading a helpful post ( i appologise for forgetting the posters name ) was to remove version .14 of iRiverter and instead run .13r1. At first i had an issue as i downloaded version .13 which ended up giving me an entirely new issue, i did manage to track down version .13r1 ( i am not aware of any links to hosts of older versions of iRiverter ) on sourceforge by going to the .14 download screen and editing the filename in the url. I just needed to change the 14.exe to 13r1.exe and this gave me the d/l page for the version i needed.

Since running 13r1 i have had no issues with wmv files or any other format. They have all converted fine, and there are no greyscale / poor fps issues.

[swunk]

Could anyone tell me about how long it would take to convert an entire movie(about 2 1/2 hrs or so) using iRiverter?
Thanks

[travis]

Yeah, usually 100-140minutes.

[swunk]

OK Thanks alot

[swunk]

Does anyone know of any sites where you can download converted movies that are ready to go for a H340? As in someone has converted a movie using iRiverter and put it onto their site for others to download.
Seeing as I don't have a DVD drive it would save me the trouble of downloading a movie then converting it, which would take a long time.
Thanks

[aliset]

I am still having problems with the audio using Iriverter. It kind of "hops" ahead a second, every few minutes/or minute, I haven't timed it. This is different than the lip synch problem. It is noticeable with music on a movie but less noticeable with dialogue.

Is this the way it is? Or is it possible to get more perfect sound?
