Hey everyone,
I recently got an RCA m5002 mp3 player and im loving it, blows away ipod nano.
Anyway,
I want to convert my avi movies to mpg,
And ive tried winmpg,
and i get audio but no video,
i tried this other one its called like convert xsomethin somethin.
sorry about that i cant get the name now,
And i got video but no audio,
What free software can i use that will work with me??????
Tanner.
WinAVI version 7.7 is pretty good if you ask me.
It can video playback MOV, AVI file formats and also plays downloaded M-PEG videos as well.
That line was taken directly from an advert for the player. Why do they distinguish downloaded m-peg files and not just any mpeg file? It also says it can play WMV, and they are even smaller files than mpeg or avi so why not go for wmv? Personally I don't like Winavi, but you can try it, expect out of sync or missing audio as your experiencing now though. Why don't you visit videohelp.com and put "convert avi to mpeg" into its search window and see what comes up. Most software on that site is open source freeware so you don't have to worry about virus laden cracks and the site has tutorials that cover just about anything you could want to do.
Nice player by the way!
try the guides at http://www.videohelp.com/convert
It's only done that to me once, and it was because I was converting a *.swf to *.avi. Other than that I use it for my other video conversions, no problem.Quote:

but on the box,
When it says It can video playback MOV and AVI
THe part that says avi has a white sticker over it and it says M-PEG as if they changed it,
and when i tried to copy my avis to the player it said unsupported format.
Canopus Procoder 2
Best video converter to any format.

Anyway, I can't get .avi or .mpeg files to load (sync). I got one .mov to appear on the player but it displays "unsupported format" if you attempt to play it. This player doesn't have real instructions and there isn't anything useful online at RCA.com. I don't know if the M5002 is a POS or if I'm doing something wrong! There is a .avi that seemed to load successfully but it only shows when I check the MP3 player with my PC in My Computer. This .avi title can't be seen using the player controls, and of course it doesn't play.
I don't have much experience with MP3 players hence the confusion. When trying to sync, the device doesn't show a folder for video. Maybe that's the problem. When you look at the device in My Computer, you can see the "Video" subfolder in a folder called "Data". There is another folder called "Media" which has the subfolders that appear when syncing with Windows Media Player; as previously stated, "Video" is not included here.
I guess we're in the same boat.... :frusty:
You should definitely dl Super. It converts almost every format to any format you would want and best of all its free!
Is it MPEG-1, MPEG-2, or MPEG-4?
If MPEG-1 or MPEG-2, I would use TMPGEnc. It is the most powerful MPG encoder available, and you can make custom settings to support whatever resolution, bitrate, and resolutions that are required by your media player (as opposed to using the templates which are for DVD or VCD players).
If MPEG-4, you can use a program like PSP Video 9. Again, though it is not meant for your purpose, you can customize the settings to whatever you need. It likes 29.97 as framerate in order to keep sync, FYI.

If there was any useful documentation on this player I could answer your question. I was hoping someone more MP3 player savvy than me had owned and figured out the RCA M5002 'cause I don't have the experience or patience to try every combination of format and resolution available just to watch stuff on a 1.8" screen!
Thanks for all of the replies to the OP and/or me.
