Dear Plazma,

try this Extra Mencoder parameter:

-vf-add expand=400:240:-1:-1:1

You can face some errors only because of that.

This is not true. I always minimize the mencoder window and continue to work & browse while converting and havent't noticed any problems. Maybe the problem is in your PC?

As for the portable version - viDrop in its "heart" IS portable. Once you installed it, you can copy your viDrop folder, move it between computers, use it on a flash drive etc... And there will be no side effects. viDrop is intended to be used as a portable app (so you can copy it on your players memory, and use it everywhere).
I deploy it in .MSI installer package, only because this way it's easier to do automatic updates.
Also, viDrop does not change or create any configuration files outside of it's installation directory.

I had the same problem before using a mini sd card.
when i watch videos using the external card the video plays for a few seconds but suddenly stops.
But when I watch them on my pc or on my pmp internal memory they do play without errors.
My mini sd card is probably wack!

I had also encountered bad A/V synchronization while watching videos on my pmp using the internal memory..
I encountered the problem when I fastforward the video..
When i press PLAY the video and audio is out of sync(video works on my pc without A/V problem)

What I did was
press the BACKWARD button for a few seconds
and then PLAY
and then the FORWARD button again for a few seconds
and then PLAY.

after that the A/V was in sync..

And one more thing..
I split my movies into 2 or 4 pieces before watching them on my pmp..

Your absolutely right WIZARD..
thats why I've convert my videos to AVI not mp4..
So that I could use this AviFixed if ever..
never tried it though..

Yes, I think I'll have to split file in 4 pieces, otherwise it'll be no good.
I tried different video formats, bitrates (audio, video), but I was never satisfied with the results. Either I get terrible quality with A/V desync at later time, or better quality with A/V desync after 10-15 minutes and with choppy video.
And playback on PC is OK.
Also, playing from SD card or PMP has no differences. Actually, SD card is faster in transfers then PMP memory (768 kbyte/s vs. 512 kbyte/s).
I'll have to try your backward and forward trick.
Seems like this P(i)MP "machine" is intended more as a gaming (nes/gb/gbc) emulator than a real multimedia player.

@iggi
As I have posted many times before:
For audio-out-of-sync problems, try to add

-audio-preload 0.8 -delay 0.1

to Extra parameters -> mencoder

You can change the delay value to anything you like (positive or negative) to fix the synchronization issues. The value is in seconds.
Maybe this will fix your A/V Desync issues.

Greetings.

There is something wrong with ver. 0.57.2...I usually don't select the options from the 2 tabs but instead have a script (initially generated from viDrop, I admit) tweaked according to the source file.
I took a look at the colour and font to see what's new about it and as much as I could see it made some changes to the vidrop.ini, especially to the subtitles section. What's bothering me is that .ini specifications seems to be taken in consideration regardless of what script says. As a result I had some errors where the specified font was replaced with the default one, the colour of the embedded subtitles turned yellow, and so on.
As a result I downgraded to ver. 0.57.1...

Best regards.

i also downloaded version 0.57.2 and there i can't pull videos to that green input box. So it is slow to convert more than one file at the same time. it did work on 0.57

The problem must be in your computer. It works fine on mine. (XP-SP3). Are you using Vista? viDrop is not developed for Vista, and will never be, because I use mostly Ubuntu Linux, (and Windows XP, only when developing viDrop 0.5xx)
Sorry Vista users...
Version 0.6 will be cross-platform.

[Zido]

Yes i use 64bit Vista Ultimate, and on older versions that works just fine.

Hi Guys

This i my first post on this forum.

I downloaded latest version of viDrop and i want to covert my xvid films for my Nokia N95 8GB (240x320). And I have questions.
What video settings will be the best for my cellphone?? (I'm using CorePlayer it plays many video types (xvid too))
What audio codec should I choose (mp2 or mp3??)

And the last question is about Subtitles. Im from Poland and I need polish signs like ę,ą etc. There are many encoding types (iso....). Which type should I choose to see subtitles properly.
