I am sorry in advance if it is an ignorant question, but you got to start somewhere. I have been abel to convert an mpg video (originally 35mb) to a 3gp file using pvauthor (trial or basic version). The converted file plays fine on my 3650. I have tried to convert the same mpg file into a rm file using Helix Producer Plus (setting it with a Real Video Codec 8.0, framerate of 20 and other settings that ahve been recommended in this forum for Real Video). The file after encoding is 3.2mb. When I try to play it on my phone (using the in-built Real Player) I get a message saying the file is too large. I have tried this with automatic scaling both on and off. I have the file on my MMC which is a SanDisK 64mb MMC. There is approx. 54mb free memory on my MMC and about 2.9mb free flash memory. Can you help me sort this out please? My second question is: Can I convert avi files to rm files and/or 3gp files using Helix Producer Plus to play back on my 3650? I yes, can you give me some guidance please. Thanks for yuor help with both questions.

hi ..

sorry if this is an age old question.

Ive downloaded the 3gptorawavi converter as well as the user interface.

While running the file, Norton AV showed an error stating there was risk of a malicious code ? I ignored it and chose the option to let this script run once.

Is my comp at risk ? Or is there no need to worry abt this.

Not sure whether to run this program or not . Pls adv.

Thanks - Nik

Hi everyone,

In my experience, the converter closes and gets errors if:

1-your video file name has a space (ex: my video.3gp)
2-the converter (3gpToRawAvi.exe) is located in a directory that has a space (ex: c:\my converter)

In order for the converter to work properly, follow these guidelines:

1-rename all your video files without spaces
2-locate the converter in a directory without spaces
3-run the converter in the Windows command prompt
4-the output filename should also have no spaces

Example syntax (in the command prompt):

C:\3gpToRawAvi\3gpToRawAvi video1 -o video2
(input) (output)

* When you type the filenames, exclude the extensions (.3gp and .avi)

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ end

The problem is that your typical 94kb 3gp becomes a humongous 3.6 MB AVI file. It needs translating into a compressed AVI format. I've found two applications that will perform this translation.

1) AVI Compression Converter.

Advantages
. Easy to use

Disadvantages
. Not very many options, e.g. no 'Quality' option
. Commercial/Trialware Annoying nag screens

Just select 'Input file', 'Output file', and the video and audio compression codecs you want to use.

Using ...
Video: Indeo� video 5.10
Audio: Microsoft ADPCM

... I get a file about 350kb in size.

2) VirtualDub (download here - apparently version 1.5.2 is buggy, so go for 1.5.1. Also some older version may not be able to read the AVI output by 3gpToRawAvi)

Advantages
. Freeware
. Very configurable

Load the AVI in VirtualDub before setting the options.

There are Compression options in the 'Video' and 'Audio' menus (select 'Full Audio Processing' to enable the audio compression menu option.) Also note the 'Quality' setting in the video compression.

Do 'File' -> 'Save as AVI...' when you're ready.

I haven't used VirtualDub before and I don't know what the ideal settings are, but this is what I've been using -

Video codec: Indeo video 5.10
Quality: 75%
Audio: Microsoft ADPCM

I've been getting mostly 240-300kb for my 94kb files.

I'm sure there are people out there who can figure out what the optimal settings should be. Anyone?

what to do? :S:S

Have you realized that
3gpToRawAVI converts the original framerate from 3gp to an AVI with 29.97fps.. ?!?!
I did not like it ...

Howdy all,
Sorry to dig up this old post, and I realize this is not a Treo forum, but I have not been able to find a solution to this issue anywhere on the web.

I am using 3gptorawavi to attempt to convert my Treo650 *.3g2 videos to AVI.

I am getting the following error after making sure I RTFM'd:

C:\3gpToRawAvi>3gptorawavi video1 -o video2

Could Not Find C:\DOCUME~1\user\LOCALS~1\Temp\mmctmp*.*

There are no spaces in either my file names or directories.
I extracted the .zip file directly to "c:\" and placed the "video1.3g2" in the same directory.

I ran the command from the directory and received the error above. It creates an empty (just black with no audio) .avi file 116,588kb in size from my 539kb .3g2 file.

I am able to successfully convert the "bear.3gp" and "video-03.3gp" files that were included in the .zip with no problems.

Anyone have any ideas about this?
Are my files too large?
Are the Treo650 3g2 files created in a different format?

Thank you

Hello,

i'm trying to convert a 3gp file into an avi file with 3gpToRawAvi and are getting the often mentioned problem:

C:\DOKUME~1\CONV~1\LOKALE~1\Temp\mmctmp*.* konnte nicht gefunden werden
Die Batchdatei kann nicht gefunden werden.♪◙====================================

Does anyone have found a solution for this yet?

Thanx.

Optimal solution is to change converter.
For this or look for something like that.
