I want my e280 to have video and audio codecs a certain way. I thought I figured it out, but it’s not working.
Frame Rate: 24.00 fps
Bit Rate: At least 192 Kbps
Sampling Rate: 44100 Hz (default is OMG MY EARS 11KHz)
Resolution: 220x166 or 216x162 (default is 208x160, why???)
Does motion jpeg support .AVI or am I forced to use .MOV? I’ll use mov if the other stuff can work. I got the AVI idea in my head because I saw it in the config file!
There seems to be a configuration for the media converter, but I don’t see the settings I change apply to the encoding process. The file size doesn’t change and when I play back my videos on the e280 they don’t look and sound better. Why doesn’t any of this take effect? And what is the unit itself capable of playing?

The highest priority changes I’d like are [and the original value in brackets] {comments}
Resolutions=220x166 [208x160] {This would let me use the 220x176-resolution screen’s max width for 4:3 playback}
If that is not possible with the codec, then 216x162 would suffice. {8x6}
[OUTPUT_FORMAT]
PhotoFmts=Jpeg File(JPG),Bitmap File(BMP)
DefPhotoFmt=JPG
PhotoSaveMode=BMP(2),JPG(4)
AudioFmts=Mp3 File(MP3)
DefAudioFmt=MP3
VideoFmts=Motion JPEG B(AVI)
DefVideoFmt=AVI [MOV]
VideoSaveMode=AVI(256),MPG(257),WMV(258),MOV(259),ASF(261)
So MOV is 259, or 1.0000.0011 in binary
I want to try AVI on my player instead AVI is 256, or 1.0000.0000 in binary
So I set?
SaveMode=256 [259]
AudioBitrate=192 [blank]
AudioSmplrate=44100 [11025]
VideoFps=24.00 [15.00]
Now for this whole section, do I need to make an “[AVI]” section instead?
[MOV] <– {Change to [AVI] ? Didn’t work when I tried it}
FileExtName=AVI
SaveMode=256
VideoEncodes=MotionJPEGB Codec
DefaultVideoEncode=MotionJPEGB Codec
AudioEncodes=UnCompressed,16-bit big endian,16-bit little endian,32-bit floating point,64-bit floating point,24-bit integer,32-bit integer,MACE 3:1,MACE 6:1,IMA 4:1,.Law 2:1,aLaw 2:1
DefaultAudioEncoder=24-bit integer
Fps=15.00,20.00,24.00,25.00,29.97
DefaultFps=24.00
AudioBitrate=192
DefaultAudioBitrate=192
VideoBitrate=Lossless Quality(100),Max Quality(100),High Quality(75),Normal Quality(50),Low Quality(25),Min Quatliy(0)
DefaultVideoBitrate=4
AudioSmplrate=44100
DefaultAudioSmplrate=44100
Resolutions=220x166
DefaultResolution=220x166
In the end, I really don’t accept the 11KHz audio, that if anything I want changed. The rest I nitpick because this device is digital after all, so things should be changeable just like on my pc. If I get a movie that’s 1280x720 in 5.1 sound, I can install some software and change it to 320x180 in stereo sound if I want! Or if I’m plugging my PC into a 720p DLP TV that has 5% overscan I can force my pc to use 1264x708 so there’s no more overscan. I was hoping I could get the audio quality and frame rate up on my e280.
