1. Make sure that your player CAN play AVI files with XVID video and MP2 or MP3 audio. If it can't - this software is not for you.
2. Check the screen resolution of your player, and set the program to use this resolution in the "Advanced settings" in "Video" - Width and Height (this setting is MANDRATORY. You MUST set the proper resolution, otherwise you will get "File format error" when trying to play the file on your player). Set the proper Audio codec - mp2 or mp3. For the rockchip players it's mp2. This setting will also cause "File format error" if incorrect.
3. Go back to "Main settings". In "Input A/V file" enter the filename of the video you want to convert and press enter (OR drag&drop the file from windows explorer to the green input box OR press the "..." button and select the file).
4. If the video is some RIP-ed movie, you can embet subtitles directly in the picture, so you can see them on your player. If the subtitle file has the same filename as the input A/V file, they are automatically detected and opened. Otherwise - you must select them by pressing the "..." button in "Input subtitle".
5. Select the output file - this is the file that will be created, and will be playable on your player. By default it is created in the same directory as the input a/v file, only it has the "_converted.avi" suffix.
Basically, that's all. Hit "Convert" button in "Current file". And wait...
If you want the output file to be smaller, you can lower the video and/or audio bitrate.
For 320x240 videos, video bitrate below 200 is stupid, and over 500 - maybe too high to be played smoothly on our cheap chinese players. The default value of 300 is very good for most purposes.
