I have a C860 and I want to play video on it.
Currently I have nothing but the original Zaurus ROM in English. How may I play videos on the default video player? How may I convert videos to the format supported on the default video player? (I'm a Debian GNU/Linux user) Is there a way to convert videos to the Zaurus supported video format using mencoder or transcode? How may I install other more caplable players like vlc or mplayer? |

Your answer is inside these forums. Use the search function. There are TONS of posts answering your questions.
I suggest you to install mplayer and then use Kino2 graphical front end. |

I also recommend Kino2/Mplayer combination.
I use the following script to encode from DVD and find it gives pretty reasonable quality and not too huge file sizes. #!/bin/bash mencoder dvd://1 -oac lavc -ovc lavc -lavcopts vcodec=mpeg4:vbitrate=200:abitrate=112:vhq:vpass=1 -vf scale=320:240 -ofps 15 -alag eng mencoder dvd://1 -oac lavc -ovc lavc -lavcopts vcodec=mpeg4:vbitrate=200:abitrate=112:vhq:vpass=2:vb_strategy=1 -vf scale=320:240 -ofps 15 -alag eng By the way, this isn't a typo, you need to run mencoder twice for two pass encoding. + You may want to try mplayer dvd://1 first to check that the track you want to rip is actually on title 1. - if you want to convert another file just replace the dvd://1 with the filename. The above script produces a file called test.avi which you can move to whatever name you want. Hope this helps, - Andy |

Sure there are tons of posts but I could only find: http://www.killefiz.de/zaurus/search.php?q=mplayer Is that version of mplayer (from 2002) the most up to date source? What about Kino2? Could you point me to the exact packages you are using? |

I'm actually using Cacko 1.21b ROM and the version of MPLAYER and Kino2 that ship in that distro.
It works for me and I see no reason to upgrade until the next Cacko ROM ships which will probably have the later version. - Andy |
