Default Re: [solved] MTV (ALIAVI?) Converter on Linux

Hi!

So, my mp3 player is branded "Eldor", but i think that's just a brand..often they sell the same kind of player with a lot of names..!

Anyway, I think (according to what i can read from the content of a .ini file in the conversion software), it uses a chip M7103.

From the user's manual, it can plays *.mtv. Well, i tried other softwares to encode in mtv format, but none of the video created seemed to play on my mp3 player..from here:

http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-514943.html

the post from"clubsoda", i think there are different kind of mtv formats: mine seemes to be that ALIAVI cited there.

Anyway, it's own software works good on Win, and now also on WINE! ;9

BTW: to make it run on WINE you have also to install directx9 and codecs like ffdshow, for example by winetricks...but the real problem was about the qedit.dll, as I said in the previous post.

Here's a link to the software (it's on my altervista space, you can download and upload on the forum, they says it's for free distribuction):

And here's also a video converted by the software:

PS: it seems to be good to first convert the video with something like avidemux in xvid avi format, with mp3 sound, 25 fps, then to use the software.
