Re: viDrop - free open-source converter for RockChip players
 

Sorry for the lack of details, here is the mencoder instructions:

mencoder "C:\*\Watch\Blue Drop\[Genjo]_Blue_Drop_-_04_[h264][FCB46B60].mkv" -idx -forceidx -ovc xvid -xvidencopts bitrate=500:me_quality=6:max_bframes=0:quant_type= h263:turbo:nochroma_me:notrellis:vhq=0 -vf scale=320:240 -aspect 320/240 -oac mp3lame -lameopts cbr:br=96:mode=1 -srate 44100 -o "C:\*\Watch\Blue Drop\[Genjo]_Blue_Drop_-_04_[h264][FCB46B60]_converted.avi" -subfont-text-scale 3 -vf-add harddup -sid 0 -noodml -of avi

The error looks like this:

Too many audio packets in the buffer: (4098 in 883988 bytes).
Maybe you are playing a non-interleaved stream/file or the codec failed?
For AVI files, try to force non-interleaved mode with the -ni option.

And the resultant file is 10min 16 sec out of a 24min video.

Using -ni results in the same error, so either I do not know how to use it or it is not helping.

Greetings.
Try to lower the bitrate to 200 (bitrate=200) and see if helps.
If it does increase gradually to the best value available for your computer.
If it doesn't, find a copy of the video in .avi format, other than .mkv or do a prior conversion .MKV -> .AVI.
HTH
Best regards.

Re: viDrop - free open-source converter for RockChip players
 

Even if the bitrate is set to 100, unfortunately it does not work. The reason why I am using ViDrop is that it automates the conversion of mkv to avi with the addition of softsubs. If i try your other method, wouldn't it be the same as demuxing the mkv to get the softsubs, then encoding the mkv to avi and then adding hardsubs?

Greetings.

I am sorry that it didn't work.
I have no direct experience in dealing with .mkv files but I do know from literature that when something goes wrong in most of the time the inadequate hardware is to blame.
So...do what you have to do.
If your bad experience is singular and all other .mks files converted fine than maybe the easiest way to solve that is to get the movie in another format or simply do multi-step conversion.
If were not able to convert any .mkv at all then your options aren't to many, isn't it?

All the best.

Hi there,

I want to download this awesome looking converter, however I have a problem with .msi install files, which for some reason don't work on my computer.

So I would like to ask someone to make a .rar of their viDrop folder (assuming that would work) or provide me link of .exe install file. I would appreciate this very much.

Also if I somehow manage to install it, presets/setting recommendations for Onda 777 player would be very welcome :) It uses JZ4740 chip.

Thanks!

Greetings.
Try the .zip archive at --THIS LINK--.

Let us know if it works.
Best regards.

Re: viDrop - free open-source converter for RockChip players
 

BTW princesschio, you could also try the above archive, it contains a newer mencoder.exe than the ViDrop original package, maybe it helps in your case too...
1. Make a copy of your ViDrop directory.
2. Unzip the archive and overwrite your original ViDrop directory.

Best regards.

Re: viDrop - free open-source converter for RockChip players
 

Thank you for the help, unfortunately I already have tried converting using the latest build of mencoder, still a no go.


FORTUNATELY, I managed to fix the problem, just add this to mencoder:

-mc 0 -ofps 24000/1001 -noskip

The fps is for 23.97 videos.

Re: viDrop - free open-source converter for RockChip players
 

Great, I am glad for you!
What does "-mc 0" stands for?

Best regards.

Thank you, all works! :oops:

I have a problem now, avi files convert's fine and plays ok too. But I tried to convert anime series from .mkv format (which have 2 sound tracks), when I do preview in viDrop there is sound, however when file is converted, I can't get sound on PC and on my player. I tried Mp2/mp3/copy seeting. Please advice.
