Preparing a video file ∞

Re-encode a movie file like this:

(FFmpeg, MEncoder)

#!/bin/bash

ffmpeg -i $1 -f avi -r 29.970030 -b 768 -ar 24000 -ab 64 -s 640x480 $1.mpg
mencoder -oac copy -ovc lavc -vf rotate=1 -o $1-r.mpg $1.mpg

Or if the video is prepared and you want to avoid permanently rotating it, do:

(MPlayer)

mplayer -vo fbdev -fb /dev/fb0 -vf rotate=1 video.mpg

Smooth playback ∞

MPlayer working with 640×480 videos – smoothly.

• Download pocketdivxencoder (free)

  • FIXME – What is this? Download it from where?
• Set device type to the 640x480 E800
• In advanced options set orientation so that the PDA is rotated to the left on its side (2 clicks)

• Set desired video quality options and encode

Now copy the video to your Zaurus and type (works best outside of X11):

mplayer -vo fbdev -fb /dev/fb0 yourvideofile.avi

/dev/fb1 is supposed to be faster, but it’s not working with MPlayer.
