Hi Stanley.
When trying to create an MP4 with extension of .AVI, the Nero codec freezes after a period of time.
From dvd mpeg2 to mpeg4 (avi) for my PMP (jwd pmp-1000 30gb).
The settings used were:-
Audio:
Source: MEcoder (tries Auto and Mplayer)
Encoder: Nero Encoder
Resample: 22050 (Audio Enabled)
Channel: Original
Gain: 0db
Rest as default (not set)
Video:
Mode: Bitrate-based
1008 kbps
Format: MPEG4
Container: AVI
Souce: Default (Auto not selected)
Backend: Mencoder (not selected)
Picture:
Resize: 384x288 (global selected)
Frame Rate: 25.000 (global selected)
Crop: Disabled
Aspect Ratio: 4:3 (more need to be added eg; 11:9)
Roration: no
Test:
Transfer Tages ( tried either way)
Audio Output container:
Nero:
Prophile: LC-ACC
Rate Mode: (Target Bitrate, also tried others)
Bitrate/Quality: 96 kbps
Hope this helps.
All the best
Charles
