Image Converter 3 issues

[Finn88]

Hi all,

Has anyone had issues with using Image Converter 3 in regards to converting video for there NW-A808. I keep on coming up with an error that says something along the lines of 'Cannot convert file due to problem with file stream'.

Solutions???

Thanks

Finn

Yes, I've encountered the same problem as you. I have two solutions.

1. You can just open the file in avidemux and save it again. That'll do the trick and you can then convert the movie in imageconverter.

2. Download mencoder and put the following in a batch file you put in the same directory as mencoder.

"mencoder %1 -oac lavc -ovc lavc -of lavf -lavcopts aglobal=1:vglobal=1:vcodec=mpeg4:vbitrate=800:autoaspect:acodec=libfaac:abitrate=128 -lavfopts format=mp4 -ofps 29.97 -af lavcresample=24000 -autosub -subfont-text-scale 3 -font C:\WINDOWS\Fonts\arial.ttf -vf scale=320:240,harddup -o %1.mp4"

If you now make a shortcut to the desktop you just drag and drop the file you want to convert on the shortcut. The converted file will end up in the same directory as the original file. Put the converted file in a folder called "video" on the player and you are ready to go.

This will automatically burn in subtitles if they are in the same folder as the film to be converted and have the same name (except for the filetype of course)

I've settled for solution 2 and use that exclusively but ymmv.

good luck
