Video conversion in mac OSX

jdbfreeheel · 05-16-2007

Yes, I'm in the same situation. I used MPEGSTREAMCLIP on my mac but can't get mpeg-3 layer for sound as an option. As a result, no sound...

HELP!

Anyone know the equivalent settings that i could use with VisualHub to do this?

thanks in advance!

I can't seem to find the Xvid settings in the drop-down menu. Could someone please tell me where this is?

EDIT: Never mind, I had an older version apparently. Thanks anyways.

Can someone PLEASE just help make a simple guide for converting on mac os x.........or even better--- can someone make a profile for Visual Hub or iSquint or something like that......or another program (liike Loli video converter for os x or something)

I know that I'm not the only one who would pay for it :D

I did my first conversion using'video converter' (supplied cd in the packaging)
looks ok if it converted from digital camera( 30fps) but from a digital video cam (low resolution), pixel got jagged n broken.
Try a movie avi and twice the m6 got 'jam'...is due to large filesize or what?

XviD shows up for me, put no matter what settings I use, I get a crash

jdbfreeheel · 06-17-2007

ok, ok. So, does anyone actually know how to "do" video on the M6? We keep bouncing this around but there are no real results/solutions.

I've attached a jpeg screenshot showing the settings that work for rotated xvid avi. I just saved the settings as a preset.

Meizu really should contact the software writers about licensing this and including it on the CD.
CORRECTION: I was converting Music Videos today and discovered Audio Khz should be 44.1 not 48 as in the picture below, or you may get lips out of sync. In any case, play around with audio bit rate & video bit rate if you have problems.

Can't see this image... the link takes me to a login page and I am already logged in. If I try to log in it tells me the username/PW is wrong and locks me out for 15 minutes.

Someone's actually doing video conversions on the Mac? Could you post a definitve instruction. I just bought my mini and I'm going to return it if I can't get this to work. I've been using the mpeg streamclip but the files won't play on the meizu.

here is a link to MEncoder for Mac.
It can only be used from the command line, though. Search this forum and you will find a lot of examples how video conversion with mencoder for the M6 works.
Here is something for you to start from (posted by flyingbobo a while ago) :

Code:

 mencoder Input.avi -idx -noodml -ofps 18 -vf scale=320:-2,expand=:240:::1,crop=320:240,rotate=1 -ovc lavc -ffourcc XVID -lavcopts vcodec=mpeg4:vbitrate=256:vmax_b_frames=0:vhq -sws 9 -srate 32000 -oac mp3lame -lameopts cbr:br=96:mode=0 -o Output.avi

Have fun !
