DivX guide available

[gartogg708]

I have had good luck encoding some movies using Accolon's guide and playing back on my E-125, but I got an Ipaq 3955 today and I am having some problems.
When I try to play a movie using PocketDivx it freezes and I have to soft reset. This same movie played fine on my E-125. I am using PocketDivx version .8, could this be a problem?
Any help would be appreciated

Hi Accolon,

First of all thanks for your guide as im pretty new to all this, so its really helping. Although now i have ran into problems.Everything went really well untill i tried to play it in windows media and it comes up with error.ive tried the fixes but it still isnt working, im wondering whether its cos i have a problem with the audio stream.In my case the audio stream in English was track 2, so when i puit that in to convert it, it comes up with some japanese writing at the end,even though there isnt a japanese option on the dvd. I can play the audio back in the dvd software but nothing in WMP. I would be really grateful for any help that you could offer. Thanks

Thanks to accolon for an extremely useful guide - I have had endless trouble with audio missing/out of sync/too soft and video being jerky/too dark/wrong aspect ratio/wouldn't fit on card. All-in-one solutions didn't work and manual solutions had too many permutations until I found this guide.

Some additional tips that I found necessary when ripping a movie to view on an O2 xda:

1. The inbuilt windows media player (PocketPC 2002) actually worked best on this device when compressing a 2 hour movie hard to fit a 128 MB SD card. No need to load a separate DIVX player.

2. In DVD2AVI, selecting "normalisation" and "heavy" dynamic range control in the audio options was necessary before I could hear all the dialogue when playing a movie on a noisy train.

3. Selecting "decode" to "wav" format in DVD2AVI seems to eliminate the need to use HeadAC3he (the rar format is a pain anyway because there are no free decoders).

4. Selecting a gamma of around 80 in the video luminance filter of DVD2AVI was necessary before I could view the video comfortably outdoors.

5. If you do use windows media encoder, setting audio compression to 32kbps, 22kHz, stereo CBR and video compression to Bit rate VBR, 12.5fps, 64Kpbs average, 320 x 180 (for a 16:9 format movie) gives a very watchable result at just over 100 kbps. This fits a 2 hour movie on a 128 MB card. 512 MB SD cards have recently become available though, which means the default rate of around 400 kpbs could be used.

I have been trying for two days now to get the vfapicodec to work. when i first installed it I opened it first before I ran the .bat file. it won't recognize the .dv2 file i created when I click on add files. What should I do, thanks!
