3.0 Video Conversion
3.1 Installing Video Conversion Software
Before watching videos on your new player, they must be first converted to a format recognized by the player. This conversion can be done with Windows software that came included with your player. Follow these steps to install the software:
1. Place the included CD into your computer's disc drive.
2. Click Start > My Computer, and then click the drive corresponding to your disc drive.
3. Double-click Setup.exe to perform the installation.
4. Complete the installation as directed by the installation wizard. If Windows asks you whether to allow the installation, click ALLOW.
3.2 Converting Video
This player will only play videos that have been converted to a compatible video format.
To play videos on your player, you must (a) have some videos on your computer, (b) convert them to the format supported by your player if necessary, and then (c) copy the video files to your player.
Note: You cannot convert copy­protected DVDs.
Follow these steps to convert video files:
1. Connect your player to your computer using the USB cable if you wish to save directly to the player.
2. Run the conversion software by clicking Start > Programs > Multimedia Player Utilities > Video Converter.
3. Choose a folder in which to save the converted files by clicking the red icon beside the Output File field.
You can save the converted files to your computer and copy them to the player later, or save them directly to the player itself. To save the converted files directly to the player, save to the player's VIDEO folder.
4. Build a list of videos to convert. Click the green icon next to the Input File field, navigate your folders, and select one or more videos to convert. (Note that the program will not convert from any video format.) Once a video is selected, it will be added to a file list at the
E4 Series User Manual Page 5 of 36
bottom of the window. Repeat the Add File process until you have completed your list of videos to convert.
5. Once the list is complete, click the Begin button ( ) to start converting and saving the list of videos. A message will appear to indicate when the list is complete.
3.3 Using Other Conversion Software
While the included software converts numerous formats to the format required by the player, there may be some that it cannot convert, such as MP4 files. However, you can find other free software on the Internet that can do the job. For software that specifically converts MP4 files, follow these steps:
1. Using your favorite web browser, visit www.download.com.
2. Enter the following search phrase: pazera mp4 avi
3. Click Download Now on the row that reads Pazera Free MP4 to AVI Converter.
4. Once the download is complete, unzip the file.
5. To run the program, enter the new unzipped folder and double-click mp4toavi.exe.
6. Run the program and make sure that when you convert videos that you configure a resolution of 320x240.
3.4 Converting Video in Linux
While the player does not come with conversion software for Linux, there are several free, open source programs available in Linux that can do the necessary transcoding. The three most powerful commandline encoders are mencoder, ffmpeg. and transcode. To make things easier, you can use one of the many available front-ends, although the simplest may be avidemux (pictured).
Regardless of the tool you use, transcode videos as follows:
Xvid video encoder
Filter: reduce to 320x240
MP3 audio encoder
Filter: Mix audio down to stereo
AVI file container
E4 Series User Manual Page 6 of 36
z Use AVI as the file container. z Encode video using the Xvid codec. z Resize video to 320 x 240 pixels or smaller. z Encode the audio using an MP3 codec. z Reduce the audio to 2 channels if the original was more, such as 5.1.
There may be other transcoding “formulas” that will produce videos that are compatible with the player. Also note that there are some formats that will work without conversion. For a full list of supported formats, see “Technical Specifications” on pg. 36.
Note: Ematic does not provide support to Linux users; however, you can get help from the Linux community on the Internet via information sites, forums, and e-mail lists.
