I'm trying to figure out what video options these players accept.

The background is that I get very good results with sony's imageconverter program *but* nowdays I always get an error message that there is a problem with the filestream. Then I have to run avidemux, rebuild index and then run imageconverter again. This has started to annoy me so I am trying to find out which settings to use with mencoder or ffmpeg.

Sofar I can get a decent quality mp4 file to be accepted by the player by this commandline:

mencoder "in.avi" -vf scale=320:-2,harddup -oac faac -faacopts mpeg=4:raw:br=128 -ovc lavc -lavcopts vcodec=mpeg4:vbitrate=768 -ffourcc mp4v -of lavf -lavfopts format=mp4 -o "out.mp4"

but it is not close to the quality of imageconverter. I can not however find the commands for h264 that the player accepts. Sofar they all turnout unplayable on the player.

I tried quicktime too and I got good results but then I had problems with the soundstream. IE there were no sound...

So if you have any setting's you are pleased with please post them here. Maybe we can find the optimal setting's !

cheers /michael
