Probably something wrong with the detection of your OS.

Which distribution are you using?

Re: Media Converter 1.41 released!
 

FreeBSD :D

But, hey, this is java, it should run everywhere, at least on all unixes!

Re: Media Converter 1.41 released!
 

It's using mencoder to make the encoding. Can you send me an email, I can then seng you back a version that probably works.

os x intel link is broken.......

can someone post to rapidshare or something similar (or fix the link)

thanks :)

Re: Media Converter 1.41 released!
 

uh, how? still won't convert a youtube vid. Had to use super to convert first to avi but doing so gives me desync's audio.

Re: Media Converter 1.41 released!
 

My copy will convert Youtube vids but you get a random chance of the audio being out of sync. Some work, some don't. Mplayer will play most flvs without conversion though (Apart from one I nabbed from youtube that hard reboots my n800).

Re: Media Converter 1.41 released!
 

I have the same issue under ubuntu. It workes fine in windows, though.

Re: Media Converter 1.41 released!
 

We solved the question by rider and the latest version (which only ryder has), includes support for BSD as well.

As to your ubuntu problem, have you installed mencoder on your ubuntu. It is not included in linux media converter, as linux computers tend to be so different from each other.

Re: Media Converter 1.41 released!
 

Yes, I have mencoder installed. It's just as he described. When I switch to N800, the resolution options don't change. Maybe the new version will fix it for me, too?

Nice program, BTW. I booted XP and converted a whole season of a TV show in one go. I love the drag 'n' drop. Nice feature, and the Medium Quality vids play/look great in MPlayer. Thanks!

Re: Media Converter 1.41 released!
 

I used ver. 1.43 to convert some XviD files to 400x240 resolution, and I noticed that the audio will gradually slide out of sync while viewing them on my N800. Is this due to the framerate being messed with somehow? How might I go about fixing it?

Re: Media Converter 1.41 released!
 

Kontorri, thanks for all your efforts in continuing to improve this great app.

I am using MC v1.43 on Vista, one small problem is that the first 40 secs of the file are missing. Is there anything I can do to rectify this, please?

I have read through many previous posts but no one else seems to experience this.

BTW it was the same with v1.42. Could it be a Vista issue do you think?

Re: Media Converter 1.41 released!
 

Sounds like it might be a vista issue then. As I don't have vista myself, I'm unable to debug it. Perhaps you could try to download mencoder from the mplayer.hq site and replace the currenct mplayer with that exe and see if it helps.

Re: Media Converter 1.41 released!
 

I went to the mplayer site but it is all a bit daunting for me, though from what I can see the files are dated 2006 so unlikely to be more recent.

Also I tried to install Media Converter 1.42 and 1.43 on my XP computer but it won't run. The terminal window flashes up, closes down and that is it.

I think I am a bit of a dead loss on this subject but thanks anyway.

Re: Media Converter 1.41 released!
 

You need to install java on your XP in order to run media converter. You can do so fro http://java.sun.com/getjava

Re: Media Converter 1.41 released!
 

Kontorri, you have the patience of a saint.

Java did the trick and MC runs and converts perfectly on my XP computer.

So it would seem that the missing first 40 secs could be a Vista issue.

Re: Media Converter 1.41 released!
 

No probs! Great to hear that it's working for you!

400x240 not working on my 770 says “resolution not supported”

Hi,
I am getting this error message “video resolution not supported” when I try to run any video converted with memcoder using the Optimal 400x240 resolution.
My 770 is new, unhacked but has about 8 programs installed.
I don’t know if it should work, or if others have had this problem, of if somehow the video doesn’t work because if was processed with DVD Decryptor and autoGK first?

Or maybe the 770 doesn’t support “400x240” as it says here?
“The limits are at about 800 kbps or 400x240 (352x288 on the Nokia 770).” – maemo wiki

Any ideas is appreciated. I tried to search in the forums but didn’t see this mentioned. I am learning the converting process and have read every forum, maemo, media coder forum and anything I can find. (thanks for the helpful advice on converting that is already in the forum).

By the way, any of you used a Cowon A2 before? It’s a dream for movies, you can even zoom in when watching, but its just a PMP movie player, plus MP3 and a few things. Not hackable. And about $300. I had one and my wife put it though the washing machine. : )
So now I have a 770, which I love so far. hmm.. this is off topic.

Re: Media Converter 1.41 released!
 

Thank you - I was told MPlayer can do it.

Re: Media Converter 1.41 released!
 

the OSXIntel link to the converter is dead. where is Media Converter 1.41? :confused:
thx.

Re: Media Converter 1.41 released!
 

oops. 1.42 for osxintel. thx.;)

Re: Media Converter 1.41 released!
 

Kontorri,

Thanks for the work on Media Converter.

I downloaded the v1.43 MacOSX Universal. But on a PPC machine it generates noise soundtracks when doing the conversion. I downgraded to v1.42 MacOSX PPC version which appears to work fine. This is an old problem, no? Something with the memcoder version included in the package, no?

Re: Media Converter 1.41 released!
 

Yeah, it's the mencoder. You can just replace the binary in the media converter package from the previous version. Just right click on the application and select show package content.
