Default Re: Free Open-Source converter for RockChip MPEG4 (XVID) pla

fparri: I don't think temporary files are left on your computer if infact they are created. Also don't think there is an option for multipass encoding.

In the past someone posted an ini file to be used with AVIConverter that allowed for multipass. It's on this site somewhere. It gives instructions how to encode without leaving temp files. Also Batman converter allows for multipass but no temp files left I believe.

I haven't found multipass to be worthwhile with my rockchip players. Didn't improve quality and took a lot longer. On the meizu forum, is suggested but rockchip play video better than the meizus according to dual user reports.

AVIConverter may convert files slightly faster than viDrop, however the conversion speed and ease of use of viDrop in dropping files singley, in batches, and successively makes it by far and away my choice of all the converters out there. The newest version has lots of options.

While lokster has worked on this, I still find the occasional file that misconverts dimensionally. Can be 318x240 rather than the required 320x240 for rockchip. These tend to be captured flv vids from youtube,...

The workaround for this is to insert the code below into the extra parameters box in viDrop. I stripped them out of AVIConverter ini. They override any other selections that apply.

Copy and paste each, select your other preferred parameters, then rename and save your new settings in the preset box at the top of the window. I convert to 20 or 24 fps with a normalize of 0.6 so that my speaker plays loud enough without having to use headphones.

Aspect 4:3

-vf-add scale=320:240 -vf-add expand=320:240:-1:-1:1

Aspect 16:9

-vf-add scale=320:180 -vf-add expand=320:240:-1:-1:1
