 Posted: Sat Jan 31, 2004 7:30 pm Post subject: Sony Image Converter? (For Clie's MQV format) |
 |
|
Sony's MoviePlayer on their Clies uses these files with the extension MQV for their movies. The installation CD comes with a program called Image Converter, which converts files to this format. However, obviously, this is a Windows program. Running it under wine is giving me unhandled exceptions... so I was wondering, is there any software out there that will make it easy for me to convert videos to the MQV format? mplayer can play MQV files so I assume that there is a way to encode them. (although, during playback in mplayer, I don't get any audio... I've heard this reported somewhere else before, but I couldn't find the thread again). What would I use to convert to the MQV format?
Apparently, the MQV format is simply a MOV file with MPEG-4 video and AAC audio. (Although, I don't know this for a fact)
Is this possible to do under Linux?

Thanks for the reply! However, I think that you've misunderstood my question?
I would like to know how to convert an mpeg or avi file to an mqv.
doing something such as:
| Code: | | $ mv movie.mqv movie.mpeg |
is just taking an mqv and renaming it as an mpeg. Actually, you can just do this:
| Code: | | $ mplayer movie.mqv |
and that works fine too.
What I need is something more like
| Code: | | $ mv movie.mpeg movie.mqv |
Although, I know that that won't work because Sony's MoviePlayer seems to be very demanding about the files you give it. (Apparently, it needs to be a mov file that has mpeg-4 compression and aac audio).
Can something such as transcode do this? What about mencoder? I'm not quite sure how to use these programs. Can anyone lend a hand?
Thanks again!
