Videora iPod Converter?

Foolproof, no nonsense method is with ffmpeg. You can write a batch script or two and just drag & drop any video onto one of them. And there are GUIs like Mediacoder and MeGUI.

And SUPER.

[anonymez]

For anyone interested, the batch file should look like this:

"C:\path\to\ffmpeg.exe" -i %1 -f mp4 -vcodec h264 -b 600000 -bt 150000 -croptop 4 -cropbottom 4 -cropleft 4 -cropright 4 -s 320x176 -maxrate 768 -cmp 1 -qmin 16 -qmax 51 -me umh -me_range 12 -level 13 -chroma 1 -g 75 -partitions partp8x8+partb8x8 -subq 6 -threads 1 -aspect 16:9 -acodec aac -ab 96000 %1_encoded.mp4

Just paste that in notepad and save as "ffmpeg.bat". Recent ffmpeg build here and required dll, to be placed in the same folder as ffmpeg. Then just drag & drop a video on the batch file or a shortcut to it.

Change the "threads" value to 2 or 3 for dual core users, and the resolution and aspect (the "-s" and "-aspect" values respectively) to 320x240 and 4:3 for fullscreen content; you can make another batch file for that if needed. "Untested" on Windows, but I'm sure it works.

would you clarify this part?

[anonymez]

would you clarify this part?

Just create a shortcut to the batch file and place it on the desktop. Find any video, drag & drop it onto the shortcut.

Just tested it on XP in VMware, works a treat.

I am very duh about this

For anyone interested, the batch file should look like this:

"C:\path\to\ffmpeg.exe" -i %1 -f mp4 -vcodec h264 -b 600000 -bt 150000 -croptop 4 -cropbottom 4 -cropleft 4 -cropright 4 -s 320x176 -maxrate 768 -cmp 1 -qmin 16 -qmax 51 -me umh -me_range 12 -level 13 -chroma 1 -g 75 -partitions partp8x8+partb8x8 -subq 6 -threads 1 -aspect 16:9 -acodec aac -ab 96000 %1_encoded.mp4

Just paste that in notepad and save as "ffmpeg.bat". Recent ffmpeg build here and required dll, to be placed in the same folder as ffmpeg. Then just drag & drop a video on the batch file or a shortcut to it.

I would use something a little more up to date. I'm sure x264 sliceless threading, for example was introduced after Feb 2006; better performance and smaller compressibility hit for us dual core users.

would you wrote or some one wrote a guide for some one not as good about computer that would help, I really like the ffmpeg

1. Download ffmpeg and this dll.

2. Extract them both into the same folder, C:\Program Files\ffmpeg in this case.

3. Run Notepad, paste this:

"C:\Program Files\ffmpeg\ffmpeg.exe" -i %1 -f mp4 -vcodec h264 -b 600000 -bt 150000 -croptop 4 -cropbottom 4 -cropleft 4 -cropright 4 -s 320x176 -maxrate 768 -cmp 1 -qmin 16 -qmax 51 -me umh -me_range 12 -level 13 -chroma 1 -g 75 -partitions partp8x8+partb8x8 -subq 6 -threads 1 -aspect 16:9 -acodec aac -ab 96000 %1_encoded.mp4

And save as "ffmpeg.bat" in the ffmpeg folder.

4. Right-click ffmpeg.bat, select Create Shortcut. Move the shortcut to the desktop.

5. Drag & Drop a video onto the shortcut.

[NightTran]

I have done all that and what would be happen next and where the new video will be at?

Thanks

[anonymez]

When you drop the video onto the shortcut a command prompt will pop up and show its progress. The new video will be in the same folder & same file name as the source video, just ending with "_encoded.mp4".

[NightTran]

I drop one small file in it and it happen really quick but nothing comeout in that FF folder

anonymez: Any comments on Videora iPod Converter? I'm thinking about writing a guide for it. It uses (almost) the latest ffmpeg version as the encoding engine I think.
