Need to convert to mp4 with these specifications (Philips Gogear Vibe)

[alx1880]

Hello, I need to convert some dat videos to mp4 for my mom's Philips Gogear Vibe mp3 video player. I tried with different converters to no avail and by doing mediainfo in one of the videos preinstalled in the device it shows these results:

Which program should i use to convert my dat files to that format and what specifications should i use?

[yoda313]

Try format factory and choose the mobile output profile. You should be able to adjust the paramaters that you need.

[Baldrick]

Have you tried use the included "Media Converter for Philips"? If it doesn't support your source file then convert it to avi, mpg ,etc first.

[alx1880]

Thanks for the advices, format factory doesnt seem to convert to 128X128 as needed and Media Converter for Philips doesnt support my media player (sa2vbe08k/55).

From the data of Mediainfo, it seems that virtualdubmod can convert the video to what is specified, but i dont understand what does jpeg extension is doing in the video.

Any advice?

MJPEG
Moving JPEG. A moving image which is made by storing each frame of a moving picture sequence in JPEG compression, then decompressing and displaying each frame at rapid speed to show the moving picture.M-JPEG does not use interframe coding as MPEG does. Sometimes called Motion JPEG.

[sharejoy]

anyone?

first you need to know that the video specification of Philips Gogear Vibe mp3 video player is as below:

MJPEG (.mp4): 128x128 pixels, 30 fps, 512 kbps

so try to convert the video with these specification, it should work.

I have tried over 10 applications, but none of them can give me mjpeg in mp4, like this above.
So I need help to make my own files to play in the philips player.
I have tried to put smv & mov files, but whit no success..


10x for any help.

[poisondeathray]

encode it with mjpeg (e.g ffdshow has an mjpeg encoder, or avidemux) , then rewrap the avi into mp4 with mp4box (yamb) or ffmpeg

Hi
Try the attached sample.

[debelann]

Thank you very much for the help.
I tried the code that bat999 posted, and - no, it didn`t work. But I think that this is the right way whit ffmpeg and I will persist with it. I noticed in the original Philips file that the video stream is "ID 2", and the audio is "ID 1". So how can I edit the ID number for the video and audio streams, regarding that the Philips player is more mp3 than mp4 player.
Thanks again.
I hope you can understand my English

p.s. bat999, the sample file that you uploaded, not starts in the player.

Settings, that work best with my Philips GoGear Ariaz (states in the manual that one should have to encode to wmv, but these work very well), perhaps they will work on a Vibe...:

Encoding settings:
video: mpeg4, 320x240 resolution, 512 kbps
audio: aac, stereo, 128 kbps, 44100 or 48000 Hz (both worked here, I think)
file extension: .mp4.

Try a few short test-clips, that way you won't have to waste too much time trying it out.

EDIT: Recently found Handbrake doing a fine job on these. And - setting max. resolution to 320x240, it will encode the file with max width (320) and compliant height, keeping original aspect ratio - and lo and behold, the Ariaz plays those fine! Change the file extension to .mp4, after encoding has finshed. EDIT

Note: When I drag&drop the files onto Ariaz in Windows it always asks me, if I want to convert as otherwise the file might not be playable. I always deny and have it "copy anyway" without conversion and they work quite well, as stated.

Good luck and have fun!

[debelann]

Thank you very much!!
The first code that bat999 posted works great!
I just didnt have the player in me to make tests. I found that all depend from the settings of the player...
Thank you again for the help! Now I can play video on this device.

Hi
That's good.

It will be easy to write a preset for WinFF now.
Tutorial is here ---> http://code.google.com/p/winff/wiki/HowToMakePresets

[debelann]

Thanks again!
Works perfect!

[I need help fast]

hi my user name is retarded but it gets to the point any way i have a philips GoGear vibe mp4 player and i have seen lots of ages where it says i need wmv but when i convert it to that it saysfile not suported and i don't what to do

[Baldrick]

Why not convert to mp4 with mjpeg video as suggested in this thread? It works with winff. I have even made a preset for it, https://forum.videohelp.com/threads/343518-how-to-convert-video-to-my-Philips-gogear-vi...=1#post2140781

[UncleJ]

Hi all,
I just wanted to say that I'm very happy to have found this thread. I've bought a GoGear Vibe for the 11th birthday of my niece. The plan was to pre-load it with music-video's. I'm used to converting all kinds of video's for myself, I consider myself an advanced user, but it was a real challenge to get video on this player to work. I tried my usual tools, the philips mediaconverter (2 versions), a bunch of commercial convertors(trial versions), ... nothing was able to produce a playable file.
There is no support on the Philips support pages for this, also no hints on their forum (If your reading this, bad job Philips!). I've spent an entire morning trying to find a solution, I just was about to give up, regretting my choice of this model, until finally, 1 hour before the birthday-party, I stumbled on this thread, 15 minutes later, my nieces Vibe was pre-loaded with her favorite music-videos.

A big thank you to bat999 for the solution and Baldrick for the WinFF preset. I'm mentioning the model number so that others will be able to google this thread -> Philips GoGear Vibe 4GB -> model SA3VBE04RN/02 .

Small summary for the people looking to create mp4's for their SA3VBE04RN/02: you need to install a version of FFmpeg + WinFF, import the Vibe preset from Baldrick into WinFF and your ready to start.

Thanks Thanks Thanks!

[hoyle.a]

Thanks for all the great info, couldnt get the sample files or the preset to work... but the script doesnt seem to use the right parameters for the vibe. After editing the script from bat999 to reflect the rates, sizes and specs that philips recommends i got the videos to work... Here is the Philips page showing some limited codec info http://www.p4c.philips.com/cgi-bin/cpindex.pl?ctn=SA2VBE08K/17&dct=QAC&faqview=1&mid=L...w_partial.html
I also messed with the scale settings for the particular resolution i was trying to achieve on a widescreen source file. Here is my script

ffmpeg -i inputfilename.mp4 -f mov -vf "scale=128:trunc(ow/a/2)*3" -c:v mjpeg -b:v 1536k -r 30 -c:a adpcm_ima_wav -b:a 178k -ar 22050 -ac 2 outputfilename.mp4
