66<li> Next step is adding sound to your video file. Run the tool avi2wav using the format:
67<pre>
68 avi2wav [input.avi] [output.wav]
69</pre>
70 For example, if your original file is called "filename" then you'd put in the following:
71<pre>
72 avi2wav filename.avi filename.wav
73</pre>
74
75 OPTIONAL: You can name the output differently.
76
77<li> The extracted audio file must be in mp3 format, so you have to convert the WAV file into MP3.
78 One option is using the LAME codec. You can download the win32 binary from <a
79 href="http://mitiok.cjb.net">http://mitiok.cjb.net</a>
80 One format used with LAME (good quality/size) is:
81<pre>
82 lame --preset standard [input.wav] [output.mp3]
83</pre>
84 For example, if your audio file is called "filename" then you'd put in the following:
85<pre>
86 lame --preset standard filename.wav filename.mp3
87</pre>
88
89 OPTIONL: You can name the output differently. Also, you can use other wav to mp3 tool, or even use
90 other options in the lame command. The --preset standard will give you a VBR file, so if you want a
91 CBR file, just change the preset to --preset cbr [kbps], where [kbps] is the Constant Bit Rate desired.
92
93<li> Now we have to merge the sound with the video, so run the rvf_mux tool found
94 in the packet you've downloaded, using the format:
95<pre>
96 rvf_mux [option] [videoinput.rvf] [audioinput.mp3] [output.rvf]
97</pre>
98 For example, if your video file from step 6 is called "filename.rvf" and the audio file from step 7
99 is called "filename.wav" then you'd put in the following:
100<pre>
101 rvf_mux filename.rvf filename.mp3 filename_av.rvf
102</pre>
103
104 NOTE: You can use any name for the output file, but it's recomended that the name is not the same name
105 used in the input video file.
106 You can change the frames per second of Rockbox playback using the -play_fps [fps] option. The default
107 value is 67.0 fps.
