Re: aproblem with avi videos " sample video uploaded&qu
 

Your mp4 player isn't stupid in any way...
it's just have limitations...
all videos or movies must fit exactly in your screen:

Your machine is a Rockchip, then your video setting are the following:

Video Codec: Xvid
Video Size: 224x176 (It has to be 224 not 220)
Frame Rate: any... 20 is enough, in some machines can be up to 25
Audio Codec: mp2 (MP3 won't work)

This is what your movie has... then all your movies must be like it... the main trick is what is in bold
specially MP2 <-------- no all converters manage mp2
and not all converters are capable of change size to 224x176,
in Xilisoft "Mp4 Converter 3" this is possible 224x176 (manually set)

Re: aproblem with avi videos " sample video uploaded&qu
 

Concerning your video... that play without conversion in my Rockchip... this Asian singer is... Mina the Asian J-Lopez :D

I can't understand why people have so much trouble playing videos on a Rockchip.
I found that the simple AviConverter I got with the player worked just fine from day 1 and should do for most users.
I just needed to select the 220x176 resolution from the drop down, It's true as DaremoS says, it does actually need to be 224x176, but AviConverter makes it that anyway even if you select 220x176, just check the file properties.

Maybe I'm just lucky but everything I seem to throw at it works, mpg's, vob files even a .mov file worked for me.

i read this thread and downloaded the program in it but the ploblem still present " file format error "

First off, have you formatted your player? See How to Remove a Memory Hack. Format errors are common on hacked players.

The hacked memory tricks your computer into showing the false memory and allows you to "download" songs or videos to it. What it's really doing is only writing part of the file or it's a ghost file. Then when you try to play it, it shows up Format Error.

I know this isn't what you want to hear, but there is a possibility your player is hacked especially if you bought it off of eBay.

Knob

When you play you video in your computer, not in the PDA, is the image rotated?

Hi DaremoS

Just had to check!
No its just fine the same as on the player, seems all these players are just a bit different hardware wise even if they look the same

Hi booboo773
Rockchip players often show "file format error" when you try and play a .avi when the resolution is wrong for the player screen size.
I know on other players it can be to do with hacked memory but on a Rockchip it's a bit different.

Good to know. 8) I haven't had that problem with my Meizu, but my hacked chipod was throwing format errors at me from the start.

booboo773,

We are talking of rockchip machines without memory hacking problems, then Rockchip based devices must fit precisely the following settings:

video codec xVid
video size 224x176. Some Rockchip devices required video turned 270°, which is 176x220
fps up to 24.00 fps (25.00 fps don't work)
audio codec MP2 (this is the most tricky part, most converters doesn't offer this option)

AVIConverter 4 (downloadable here) is a very simple and effective tool, as it uses all required internally:

video codec: xVid
video size: as option appears "220x176 (2.0inchs)" but generate a module of 224x176!!! :shock:
(Here is another version here that generate 176x220, turned 270° which can be your case)
fps: resulting video is of 20 fps
audio codec: uses mp2 44100 128

I've choose to use my cracked version of xilisoft to put up to 24 fps and better audio bitrate in my Rockchip device.
For my Meizu device it's easier as use mp3 as audio codec, as most converters, Meizu devices handles 25 fps at least my M3.
Anyway in www.meizume.com you can find latest version of Meizu converters (nicely called Video Converter) but none of them uses mp2 as audio codec, I believe.

Just been looking at some more videos, quality is fine but noticed they are a bit jumpy sometimes.
I think I'll redo some at 24 fps and see if it helps

Thanks DaremoS

Hi,

I can confirm that Xilisoft's "DVD to MP4 converter" works perfectly with both 220(224)x176 and 320x240 Rockchip MP4 players. I purchased this over the weekend and it's worth every $.
I was also able to succeed with the 'free-issue' AviConverter which came with each player once I worked out that it needs to put .avi at the end of your filenames , but I REALLY like the flexibility that the Xilisoft software gives you.
For example, instead of coding each of the 4 or 5 VOB files individually one after the other (as with AviConverter), the Xilisoft DVD to MP4 software does it all in one go, straight from analysing the IFO's. It can convert straight from DVD - and it appears to work straight from an original DVD ( Region 2 - I cannot confirm this for other regions).

I know I am repeating what others have written above, but to confirm what has worked for me, I use the following settings:

For the 2" player (224x176)

First, select 'XviD' as the Profile.
For Video Size, manually type "224x176" - on my version (4.0.83 build0178) this size doesn't appear in the drop-down, but manually typing it as I have shown here, works.
Bit Rate - I have found that 512 works 100%.
Frame Rate - at 20FPS, the sound and video remain in sync. Higher FPS ratings result in a slightly smoother video, but the sound lags behind.
Aspect - Auto
Same Quality - False
Audio Codec - MP2 ---This is very important!!--- Although Rockchip players handle MP3 Music fantastically, the video audio must be encoded as MP2 it seems. Xilisost are one of the only ppl who seem to realise this!!
Bit Rate - 128 works for me everytime.
Sample Rate - 44100 - ditto!
Channels - Stereo
Disable Audio - False

For the 2.4" Rockchip players, do exactly as above, but select a video size of "320x240"

The link for the software is http://www.xilisoft.com/dvd-to-mp4-suite.html - What's great, is you can download a free trial version which seems to do everything other than it limits your converting to 5 minutes per file.

Good luck, and I hope everyone who's been stuck on this now succeeds! Rockchip players are fantastic value - anyone know if there's a 2.4" version with a removal 'cellphone/mobile' battery on the market yet?

the dream became true
 

thnk you best forum on the earth
the dream became true
it is time to say i eventually become able to play .avi files
following your advices
the problem was in
video size 224×176
frame rate 20
audio codec mp2
the app was xilisoft converter

but the problem now " simple " :D
why audio preceeds the video
on what it depends?
i want them play simultanously

and another " simple " problem
when i begin to charge the mp4 player and log out with long press on " play/pause" button
an animation of charging appears
it was good first
but i borrow the player to a friend
and after that
the animation was not normal
it was cut
and instead of image of charging
it become flash with half-cut picture
it was strang
i know
but try to help
:D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D

Mezoomozaa,
I am glad the xilisoft thing works for you - sort of !!

I think your video and audio could be out of sync if you leave the Audio Sample Rate at the default of 48000 (this happened to me). Try a rate of 44100, and the other settings as I have explained above. I am interested to know if this fixes your problem, so please do post your findings!!

With regards to the battery animation, I am afraid I can't help on that one - it might need a re-flash of the firmware but this is very very risky!! Too many people have failed at this, it seems and if the player actually works, maybe leave it alone??!! - over to a more experienced mpx user I think !!
Good luck.

thank you dear for advice
the player work very good except this point
i will leave it " as you advise"
but i want " just for knowledge"
how to re-flash firware
specially that the mini CD come with the player is useless " no benefit , no usefull program on it "

waiting
and thank you again

Hiya!
I have a nearly identical "mp4" player as this
http://www.mympxplayer.org/album_sho...php?pic_id=387
except mine's unbranded.
I have a problem converting videos to avi because I don't know its resolution. I had a sample video, an Ice Age 2 clip but I've erased it already.
The screen's dimensions are: 1.5" by 1.25".
Below the screen, where the pic displays MF-M568, Digital MP4 Player 945 is written.
My menu looks like the pic's but mine are arranged in 3 rows and 3 columns. please help me, anyone

Hello, it's almost certainly 220x176 if you use AviConverter or 224x176 if you use something like the DVDtoMP4 converter from xilisoft. I think the true size is the latter as AviConverter makes a mistake calling it 220 ?? (any comments on this point from anyone?? )

Re: [solved] Problem with avi videos "sample video uplo
 

:arrow: iixorbiusii,
You're right AVIConverter put in its options 220x176 (2.0inchs), but resulting video module is in fact 224x176. I do have (had :wink:) a 2.2 device that plays such videos pretty well, but other people with 2.0 device plays the same videos ok too.
More on that, if I in my Xilisoft I put 220x176 it fails... it have to be 224x176.
Check resulting video with G-Spot of some other tool like this.
:arrow: tastefuldeath,
Download AVIConverter >here < convert any video and let us know how it work
