4 | <h2>Introduction</h2> | ||
5 | This is a simple tutorial (or, at least, as simply put as possible) on how | ||
6 | to convert your video files to RVF (Rockbox Video File), to be played on | ||
7 | the Archos Recorder / FM Recorder / V2 line. | ||
8 | |||
9 | <p> See also Fabian Merki's <a | ||

11 | building RVF movies out of individual JPEGs. | ||

13 | <h3>How To Convert AVI to RVF</h3> | ||
14 | <p> | ||
15 | <b><big>This Process Is For Windows Users Only</big></b> | ||
16 | <ol> | ||
17 | |||
18 | <li> Convert your movie file to an AVI file, uncompressed, and with the size: | ||
19 | 112x64. There are quite a few programs out there that will do this for you, | ||
20 | so I will leave this step up to you. One such program is "BPS Video | ||
21 | Converter" available online. Use google if you need. | ||
22 | |||
23 | <li> Download the tools required here: | ||

26 | Unzip to a PATH, such as C:\RVF, that is easily remembered. | ||
27 | |||
28 | <li> Press START on your taskbar, choose RUN and type in the box (minus | ||
29 | quotes): "command" You should now be looking at a command prompt. If you | ||
30 | don't know basic DOS commands, here is what you need to know: | ||
31 | <br> | ||
32 | cd > change dir (format: cd <dir>) IE: "cd .." to go UP one, "cd ROCKBOX" to enter a path "ROCKBOX" | ||
33 | |||
34 | <li> Navigate to your PATH in DOS prompt, using "cd" as illustrated above. | ||
35 | |||
36 | <li> Run the file, avitoyuv, which was in the packet you earlier downloaded, using the format: | ||
37 | <pre> | ||
38 | avitoyuv [input.avi] [output.yuv] | ||
39 | </pre> | ||
40 | For example, if your AVI movie is called "filename" then you'd put in the following: | ||
41 | <pre> | ||
42 | avitoyuv filename.avi filename.yuv | ||
43 | </ptr> | ||
44 | |||
45 | OPTIONAL: You can name the output file differently, whatever you specify it | ||
46 | will be called. INFO: This can take long to convert. | ||
47 | |||
48 | <li> Now run the file, halftone, which was in the packet you earlier downloaded, using the format: | ||
49 | <pre> | ||
50 | halftone [input.yuv] [output.rvf] | ||
51 | </pre> | ||
52 | For example, if your YUV output from step 5 is called "filename" then you'd put in the following: | ||
53 | <pre> | ||
54 | halftone filename.yuv filename.rvf | ||
55 | </pre> | ||
56 | |||
57 | OPTIONAL: You can name the output differently, again. INFO: When this is | ||
58 | done, a long list will appear on your DOS screen and you will be back at the | ||
59 | command prompt again. | ||
60 | |||
61 | <li> Copy the .rvf output to your jukebox, load up a recent daily build and | ||
62 | plugins, and kick back and watch the movie! | ||
