Mediacoder Settings for iPod color w/ Rockbox
Posted: Thu Feb 05, 2009 3:24 am
Hello,
I just wanted to share my Mediacoder settings for transcoding videos to ipod color with Rockbox. This might work on other players if you change the resize settings. I had some problems with the available extension managers regarding format and a/v sync, so I gave up and just started doing trial and error with version 0.6.2.4255. I found some settings under the format button that made the difference.
You can change the options in Picture depending on your source (this is for a widescreen movie), and adjust the bitrates for audio & video to your liking (I used the bitrate calculator recommended on the mediacoder wiki for optimal results).
After you transfer it to rockbox, enable all the display settings (except for framerate) and use source for all the audio settings. Hope this helps!
