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> Other option is to get the GUI Video Conversion Tool from John Wunder, which | ||
10 | can be downloaded from <a href="http://home.ripway.com/2004-2/66978/RockVideoRelease.zip"> | ||
11 | http://home.ripway.com/2004-2/66978/RockVideoRelease.zip</a>. (Windows users only) | ||
12 | |||
13 | <p> See also Fabian Merki's <a | ||
14 | href="http://merkisoft.ch/rockbox/">msi-rvf-gallery</a>, a Java program for | ||
15 | building RVF movies out of individual JPEGs. | ||

17 | <h3>How To Convert AVI to RVF</h3> | ||
18 | <p> | ||
19 | <b><big>This Process Is For Windows Users Only</big></b> | ||
20 | <ol> | ||
21 | |||
22 | <li> Convert your movie file to an AVI file, uncompressed, and with the size: | ||
23 | 112x64. There are quite a few programs out there that will do this for you, | ||
24 | so I will leave this step up to you. One such program is "BPS Video | ||
25 | Converter" available online. Use google if you need. | ||
26 | |||
27 | <li> Download the tools required here: | ||
28 | <a | ||

30 | Unzip to a PATH, such as C:\RVF, that is easily remembered. | ||
31 | |||
32 | <li> Press START on your taskbar, choose RUN and type in the box (minus | ||
33 | quotes): "command" You should now be looking at a command prompt. If you | ||
34 | don't know basic DOS commands, here is what you need to know: | ||
35 | <br> | ||
36 | Use 'cd' to change dir (format: cd [dir]) IE: "cd .." to go UP one, "cd | ||
37 | ROCKBOX" to enter a path "ROCKBOX" | ||
38 | |||
39 | <li> Navigate to your PATH in DOS prompt, using "cd" as illustrated above. | ||
40 | |||
41 | <li> Run the file, avitoyuv, which was in the packet you earlier downloaded, using the format: | ||
42 | <pre> | ||
43 | avitoyuv [input.avi] [output.yuv] | ||
44 | </pre> | ||
45 | For example, if your AVI movie is called "filename" then you'd put in the following: | ||
46 | <pre> | ||
47 | avitoyuv filename.avi filename.yuv | ||
48 | </pre> | ||
49 | |||
50 | OPTIONAL: You can name the output file differently, whatever you specify it | ||
51 | will be called. INFO: This can take long to convert. | ||
52 | |||
53 | <li> Now run the file, halftone, which was in the packet you earlier downloaded, using the format: | ||
54 | <pre> | ||
55 | halftone [input.yuv] [output.rvf] | ||
56 | </pre> | ||
57 | For example, if your YUV output from step 5 is called "filename" then you'd put in the following: | ||
58 | <pre> | ||
59 | halftone filename.yuv filename.rvf | ||
60 | </pre> | ||
61 | |||
62 | OPTIONAL: You can name the output differently, again. INFO: When this is | ||
63 | done, a long list will appear on your DOS screen and you will be back at the | ||
64 | command prompt again. | ||
65 | |||
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 to make this 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 | OPTIONAL: 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. NOTE: 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. | ||
108 | |||
109 | <li> Copy the .rvf output to your jukebox, load up a recent daily build and | ||
110 | plugins, and kick back and watch the movie! | ||
111 | </ol> | ||
