Problems with AMV Convert Tool 4.0
 

For some reason, when i convert using AMV convert tools 4.0, my MP4 player will play a portion of the AMV and then after that.... It errors!

However, if i were to use version 3.68 (I think, welll.. the one before 4.0), it plays perfectly. I dont know what is the cause of this. So I tried converting the same files, with all the same attributes. Making 2 of the same video, for testing.

(128X128, Mode 2, Other Codecs Enabled, High Frame rate)

The one by 4.0 errors after playing a little portion, and the older version came out clean.

Could this be a flaw in the newer version?

To give more information about my system...:
-MP4 Player with 1.5, Latest Firmware
-Win XP SP2, + latest Codecs (KL mega codecs pack)


Is anybody else having the same problem?
Thanks in advance!

Zepheris

Thanks for posting your result with the AMV Convert Tool 4.0 here. I haven't fully tested it myself. It was released over the internet not so long ago. You're the first to mention a problem with it. It's good that you tested it against ver 3.68 as well. It seems to point to ver 4.0 instead.

If anyone else has any problems with the AMV Convert Tool 4.0, please post your feedback here.....

admin> No problem :)

I always like to keep my stuffs up to date. When I get home, I'll try to convert movies using different attributes, to test the outcomes. Hopefully, there will be a newer version released to correct these errors. :)

I hope...

Zepheris,

The only thing that I can think of is that output may not actually be correct resolution.
This is easy to check, fortunately.

Simply convert same project again using same parameters then when movie pops up w/ the amv player, right click on it, go to 'property' and post results here. My guess is it is somehow converting to a 160x128 resolution. If not, (128x128) then try unistalling it and reinstall. Then try it again. Please be sure to unistall previous ver. so there are no conflicts.

good luck,
I

I'll try to post back the results of your suggestion... however, i dont think i'll be able to do so soon. Maybe in a week or so. :( Leaving town. :)

Re: Problems with AMV Convert Tool 4.0
 

Have the same problems, after 2 or 3 seconds get the error "FORMAT ERROR". Using the 3.68 every 5 second of vision there is a little slowdown that is not too good to see. What can I do to watch a movie correctly?
Thanks

Duff here, Yeah I too have the same problem with 4.00. It seems like 3.68 is a lot more effective than the 4.00 is.

Cheers

Re: Problems with AMV Convert Tool 4.0
 

I have the same problem, the application runs great and you can see the videos on the AMV player but after 20 seconds the video freezes on my MP4 or even says "file error".

Re: Problems with AMV Convert Tool 4.0
 

Same problem as Zepheris here- after upgrading to 4.0 files don't play, only first few seconds, then garbled screen and get the infamous format error, never had this problem before, I reformatted multiple times with windows, I uninstalled amv conerter 4.0 and went back to 3.68, and everything's back to normal,

__Also has anyone tried to figure out the Media Manager Prog that came with 4.0??? I can see it's use, like an Itunes knock off, keep files on desktop as media library and copy back and forth from MP4 player, but it sucks, and still no support for playlists, which I don't need, just break files into diff directories,

Re: Problems with AMV Convert Tool 4.0
 

I have the same prob withe v4 seems 3.68 is the best

Video 128x128 is mirrored and upside-down with v.4.00.
and MediaManager halted my XP-SP2 :(

XamleTT, as discussed it seems 3.68 is a more stable version however I have had good results using these settings in 4.0

As for MediaManager I do not think it is worth the disk space.

What's the error u're getting in 3.68?

I have ONKI MV-20(Digital MP4 Player 1.5”) After wasting two days finally I found this site and I was so happy that everything is available on this site. As per instructions first I downloaded AMV Convert Tool 4.00 (MP3 Player Utilities 4.00) (11891 Downloads) Tool to convert your videos to .AMV video files. It download without any problem upto 60% and then start making errors…(With this version some songs are OK and also show on full screen but with this version most songs have format error lateron……I uninstalled it and again installed AMV Convert Tool 3.68 (MP3 Player Utilities 3.68) (36038 Downloads)Tool to convert your videos to .AMV video files: it’s performance is OK but it cannot display on whole screen. I tried to change the line VWH=160*120 but after changing even the result is same. I uninstalled it and installed: AMV Convert Tool 3.57 (MP3 Player Utilities 3.57) (6852 Downloads)Tool to convert your videos to .AMV video files: On this tool I have no problem with making AMV but same on half screen……As you advised I tried and find out VWH=128*96 to change it 160*120 but I can’t see this line instead few line may help to understand:

[Option]
TitleInfoCount=4
DebugInfoCount=27
UIInfoCount=76
VIDEOWH=3
VIDEOFRAME=3
MTVFILEEXTEND=amv
EXEPLAYER=1
WAITTYPE=0
MEMSIZE=30000000
Would anyone can advise me what to do? I don’t understand, I am fighting from the last four days all the time with these three software’s, but ….no success. Help me plzzzzzzz. Thanking you in advance…….

Re: Problems with AMV Convert Tool 4.0
 

in version 4.00, edit AmvTransform.ini and make sure CHIPTYPE=0

you should have no more problems

dazonic, If you set to CHIPTYPE=0 is there any way to access 160x120 setting?

i couldnt find a way, sorry mate.

editting this line

VIDEOSIZE=96X64(8;10;12),128X96(8;10;12),128X128(8 ;10;12)

did nothing

dazonic, Thanks I couldn't do it either, will stick with 3.57.

Cheers

Funny thing is:

I have two 1,8' MP4:
http://img149.imageshack.us/img149/7631/dt220yu5.jpg and http://img101.imageshack.us/img101/4554/imgkh6.jpg

The interesting thing is that the same file of 160x128 works fine on the second one (even rotates automatically) and crashes on the first.

When my "former" dead player with broken battery cable returns, I´ll modify the .ini file. ;) The interesting thing is that the second one seems to turn the file clockwise automatically.

The other problem is that the AMV files are very large! It´s reducing in average to 1/3 of the original size (A beautiful 300MB video goes to a huge nasty 115MB tiny one). The configuration options for quality are not "choseable" on my converter. :roll:

Re: Problems with AMV Convert Tool 4.0
 

i formated my mpx player.....reinstalled the mp3 utilitiesv 4....it works now....only prob now is that some files play smoothly first then in btw show error........

thomman85, You need to lower the frame rate to Medium

I was wondering...

AMV convert Tool can make 128x128 and 160x120 files...

Why wouldn´t it be able to make a 160x128 file? I know, it´s just 7% higher but it was worth a try. And the result is:

FAILURE! it automatically compressed in some tiny small format. But i kept wondering: Since it IS able to produce files with 128 in high, why can´t it make a 160x128?

Victor1980, Yeah it goes to default 96x64. I think it is to do with aspect ratio's either 4x4 or 4x3.

I only started having problems with my video's when i changed the size from 96:64 med rate to 128:96 high rate. I need to try a different converter.

Re: Problems with AMV Convert Tool 4.0
 

hi.. where can i get the older version from because i am having the same problems

Guest, you can find a few different versions in the Downloads>Tools section Here
http://www.mympxplayer.com/dload.php...gory&cat_id=10

I'm new here.
I tried version 4.0 - it doesnt seem to work at all
Version 3.68 (beware of virus) works great.

Does anyone have a virus-free version 3.68 they can post??

Thanks

kwurman, What size do you want to convert to?

I got mp4 player black. After converting video using amv converter v3.68, this video is not played by mp4 player instead it gives FORMAT ERROR. Let me know if some one got the solution to this error. Firmware versionLISONG LSD_501_02, SDK:V35.37

jayantkowe, Try lowering the frame per second to medium.

Re: Problems with AMV Convert Tool 4.0
 

Hi at all! I am very happy of this beautiful forum.
I have a mp4 player with:

FW= B806K8x_v4.1 [date 2006/10/24]
CORE= 9.0.48 [date 2006/09/12]
1.8" TFT and 262.000 color
2.0 gb of memory

When I use amv converter 4.04, the video clip go in crash after little seconds and the imagines aren't full screen. The same problems are with version 4.05 and oldies 4.03, 3.74 and 3.68.
I have the best conversion with 4.00 (downloaded from this site) and with installation of klcodec 2.69: my clip are now 160x120 full screen and fluid for the whole time.
I use windows XP service pack 2.

You excuse my bad English. I hope only to have helped someone...

dott.Strong

I've got 1more question - is it possible to change convert options(change quality, mode) bcause this options are grey(don't want to change) !

4.00
 

Hi, sorry but with version 4.00 it is not possible to modify these options.
These options are already setting at the best.
You can try with new versions 4.04 or 4.05...

Regards,

dott.Strong

Re: Problems with AMV Convert Tool 4.0
 

how can i convert my videos to .amv files with 160x128 resolution? please help!!! :cry: :cry: :cry:

my player came with a 160x128 video so i think its possible.

MusicBOY, You can not convert to 160x128 only 160x120.
You need to download MP3 Player Utilities 4.0 or 3.57. I prefer 3.57 because you can adjust the settings by editing the AmvSetup.ini as outlined in this post.
http://www.mympxplayer.org/full-scre...or--vt449.html

You can download 3.57 here:

Re: Problems with AMV Convert Tool 4.0
 

Has anyone tested out the new 4.07 version :?:

I'd rather move forward with the nice option in 4.0 than the options in 3.68.


Last version I tried was 4.05, and that was still giving me format errors after 3-5 seconds of video. I've given up on video, and staying with Audio four now.

Thing that bugs me now with audio is the short life time of the battery when it is in standby mode without the screen on.

Re: Problems with AMV Convert Tool 4.0
 

THERE IS NO PROBLEM WITH THE AMV CONVERT VERSION 4.00, I HAVE USED IT AT LEAST TEN TIMES CONVERTING HUGE CARTOON AND MOVIE FILES, IT PLAYS WELL AND FINE, I NEVER GOT ANY PROBLEM SINCE I USED IT.

Re: Problems with AMV Convert Tool 4.0
 

when i try to convert into amv, i need to have the pixel size 128x96. the problem is the only options it gives me are 128x128 and 160x120. i then installed the versian 4.09 but its smallest size was 160x120. where can i find a converter that will allow me to choose 128x96?

http://www.mympxplayer.org/amv-conve...-mb-df327.html
Does 128x96
