3. Set conversion parameters
The default conversion parameters are already set for you. They guarantee the optimal
conversion speed/video-quality/resulting- file- size relation.
To immediately preview the converted video in the virtual TomTom below press “Preview” button. Preview mode uses latest selected cropping, subtitles and audio settings.
However, video and audio quality settings are not used in preview mode and previewed
video might have better quality than actually converted video.
Quality
This option sets the video conversion bit rate. As long as you are going to play video on
TomTom it is recommended to set the bit rate not higher than 400 Kbit/s otherwise you
will experience frame dropping effect. The higher video bit rate means better quality
but will result in the larger file. To give you some estimation on the target file size, as
shown in the table below.
Page 18
Mobilnova Media Center TomTom. User Manual
18
Video bitrate Original file size Target file size Conversion time
400 Kbit/s 100 MB 30 MB 5 min
300 Kbit/s 100 MB 25 MB 4 min
200 Kbit/s 100 MB 20 MB 3 min
The rest of the options were set to the default values (No “Two pass”, Optimal quality,
Audio quality set to Internal speaker mode).
Two pass
This option is used to increase quality of the converted video content and decrease resulting file size. It also increases the conversion time by the factor of 1.5. It is recommended to use it only with high quality originals such as DVD mpeg streams. Most of
the DivX, XviD files, do not need this option. You cannot increase the quality of the file
that originally had poor quality.
Video quality
Sets quality of the output file. The table below shows approximate conversion time:
Video bitrate Original file size Target file size Conversion time
Poor quality 100 MB 20 MB 3 min
Low quality 100 MB 25 MB 4 min
Optimal quality 100 MB 30 MB 5 min
High quality 100 MB 35 MB 7 min
Best quality 100 MB 45 MB 10 min
The rest of the options were set to the default values (No “Two pass”, 400 Kbit/s, audio
quality was set to the Internal speaker mode)
Audio quality
Audio quality setting has 5 modes.
• Professional
• Headphone
• External speaker
• Internal speaker
• Bluetooth
By default, Internal speaker mode is selected.
Professional, Headphone, and External speaker these modes are resource demanding
and on some TomTom models you may experience lower frame rates because of high
audio quality setting. These modes might not be available on all TomTom models.
Crop videos
This option removes extra frame information on the left and right sides to optimally
match your TomTom screen ratio and reduces the size of the black margins at the top
and bottom of the screen. It is recommended to use this option in cases when the
source movie is in wide screen format (e.g. DVD video). Using of this option is recommended if your video has 2.5:1 or more aspect ratio for TomTom GO, GO 300, GO 500,
GO 700, Rider, Rider New Edition, One, One New Edition and 3:1 or more for TomTom
GO 510, GO 710, GO 910, GO 520, GO 720, GO 920 and One XL. You also can use this
option when the dimensions of your video is less than the dimensions of the screen of
the TomTom device you are using in order to expand your video to full TomTom screen.
You should realize that approximately 10-15% of the video information on left and right
sides or on top and bottom will be lost.
Page 19
Mobilnova Media Center TomTom. User Manual
19
Include Subtitles
If this option is selected the application will try to locate subtitles file (*.srt or *.sub) in
the video’s folder and will incorporate subtitles into the video stream. Be aware that
you won’t be able to switch the subtitles off later on, and the only way to do so will be
to perform another conversion of the source video but without subtitles. This option increases processing time by 5%. If your subtitles were not converted, please refer to
Troubleshooting section of this document.
In case of DVD conversion or multiple subtitle files default settings for subtitles will be
taken into account. See chapter Subtitles.
Test Conversion
If you are not sure which settings to use, it is recommended to select this option. Only
90 seconds of the video will be converted. After that you can preview it on your PC
and/or install it on your TomTom, check if resulting quality suits you and perform conversion of whole file or adjust conversion parameters.
Logging
Select this option to create video analysis and conversion logs in Log directory. This is
recommended if you have problems with some of your videos, and wish to give more
information for our customer support.
To start video conversion, press the Next button.

Converting DVD
There is no big difference between DVD and video file conversion. When a DVD is inserted into your DVD drive, it’s automatically detected and analyzed. After that all DVD
titles available for conversion will be displayed. The automatic detection depends on
Windows system settings. If automatic detection is disabled or if you have copied the
content of your DVD drive into a directory on your PC, you have to manually open the
VIDEO_TS file that is a part of every DVD.
After this step your DVD will be analyzed for a few seconds, and in case of multi title
DVD several titles will be displayed, otherwise you will see only one title.
Page 23
Mobilnova Media Center TomTom. User Manual
23
To convert a specific title just double click it; you will be prompted to enter a name for
the title and the conversion will start.
Tip: Always try to preview the DVD Title before starting conversion. Some DVD’s are
encrypted and might not be readable by the converter. If you’ve found that DVD is encrypted and still want to convert it, install a third party DVD decryption tool, for example, AnyDVD.
Subtitles and audio tracks
In order to select default subtitles language open the dropdown menu and select the
language you want.
Page 24

Do the same with the preferred audio track.
Mobilnova Media Center TomTom. User Manual

Installing and usage of external SD card
It’s possible to install Mobilnova Media Center on an external SD card using the Media
Center installation wizard. It might be useful to have a separate SD card for videos or
when internal storage of your TomTom device does not have enough free space to hold
all your media materials.
The Media Center installation wizard window looks like this:
You can choose between Internal memory and External SD card.
If you check ‘Auto start Media Center’. Mobilnova Media Center on your TomTom will
start automatically when you switch on power without starting navigation software. This
is particularly useful when you have several SD cards with converted videos.
External SD card is automatically recognized by the Mobilnova Video Converter application for Windows and by Mobilnova Media Center on your TomTom device. In this case
in every browser screen you will see two top-level directories – ‘Internal’ and ‘ExternalX’. Where X specifies external storage number (in the future TomTom may decide to
add a second SD card). Internal will correspond to the internal memory and External –
to an external SD card.
An external SD card is checked only at Media Center startup on a TomTom device. If
you need to replace the SD card, you have to exit Mobilnova Media Center to the navigation application, insert new SD card and start Media Center again.
TomTom high-end products support two different locations where you can store your
audio and video files: the internal memory and an SD card at the same time. In this
case, when an external SD card is inserted in a TomTom device, Video Converter application automatically shows its content and will copy all new videos, music and images
to the SD card.

Extras

TomTom.

TomTom. Note that if you install Mobilnova Media Center update that contains new version of video player, it’s detected and installed to your TomTom device automatically
when Mobilnova Video Converter application is restarted. If it does not happen, you
have to install media software to your TomTom device manually using this button.
Uninstall media software – this uninstalls media software and all converted videos
from your TomTom.
Detect TomTom – if you’re using another model of the TomTom or you want to reinitialize program to the default settings for your TomTom model you can click this button.

Troubleshooting
If you question is not listed in this section please visit our forum at
http://mobilnova.3.forumer.com/
Cannot find the device
Videos are converted
but my TomTom does
not play them
Subtitles are not encoded
Audio and video are desynchronized.
Make sure that TomTom is attached to your PC or memory card is inserted into your SD card reader.
If you have TomTom GO, GO 300/500/700, RIDER or
ONE: Check if you have upgraded the firmware. Mobilnova Media Center supports TomTom firmware 6.5 and
higher. If you have older firmware, please visit
www.tomtom.com/support for an update.
GO 510/710/910 and One New Edition are already delivered with compatible firmware, please contact our customer support.
Try to check your TomTom drive for errors using Windows tools.
Check that subtitle file name is the same as video file
name. DVD subtitles (.idx + .sub) are not supported directly. You have to convert them in to .srt or .sub any
other format.
1. Try to adjust the synchronization with OSD menu but-
ton, refer to Video playback on TomTom section of this
document.
2. Try to reduce the quality of the video to the lower
value and the video bitrate in the converter.
3. Try to adjust playback parameters in the mplayer con-
fig file located in following directory:
"C:\Program Files\TomTom Media Center\Media\etc\mplayer\mplayer.conf"
(don't forget to put it back to Media/etc/mplayer directory on your TomTom)
- Experiment with different values for autosync
autosync = 30 (try to decrease this value)
- Your SD card is to slow. Try
cache = 8192
Use faster SD card.

Mobilnova Media Center TomTom. User Manual
Take a paperclip or pin and push the reset button on
the bottom of the TomTom. This will not affect your
maps, navigation software, settings or video files.
Video playback is
jerky or choppy
I have installed the
registered copy.
But my TomTom
closes down after
2-3 minutes of
playing
and starts again in
navigation-mode.
Use a faster SD-memory card. Older cards may have insuf-
ficient data throughput rates and can’t keep up with the
pace of the video. We recommend at least 20x speed (up
to 3 MB per second read/write)
• If you have a TomTom Classic you may experience less flu-
ent video then on the later models. This is because the
TomTom GO Classic has a slower processor
• Reduce Bitrate parameter in Mobilnova Video Converter
and re-convert your videos. You can use Test mode conversion to quickly convert a small piece of your video and
preview it on your TomTom device.
Un-registered version has 2 minutes playback limitation.
Probably you managed to copy demo version to your TomTom.
Solutions:
1. Make sure you're using the same TomTom device as you
registered for and connected to your PC. Each player is locked
only to one TomTom device.
2. Run Mobilnova Video Converter and check if it does not
show the message that it is not registered and if it does not,
proceed with the step 8
3. If it shows the 'not registered' message, then
4. Uninstall everything.
