If you have some video les that do not play directly on your Gmini
500, they will have to be converted rst.
Windows Media
®
Player 10 (Available only for Windows XP) will convert your video le automatically when you
sync the le that is on your PC to the Gmini
500. It will display a little message ‘converting’.
You can also use the software MPEG-4 Translator included on the Gmini
500 hard drive to re-
encode your video les into the proper MPEG-4 SP format that the Gmini
500 can play. See the chapter
Video – creating MPEG-4 video les with your computer for more details.

How to create an MPEG-4 video le
Video les that come from your digital camcorder, sent to you via e-mail, or which are freely available on the
Internet are encoded in many different ways. If not already in the proper MPEG-4 Simple Pro le or WMV9 Simple
Pro le format, a transformation operation must be done in order that these video les can be played by the
Gmini
500. This transformation process is called re-encoding.
There are basically two ways to do this: 1) Use the Synchronize button in Windows Media
®
Player 10 or 2) Use
the PC tools which are available on the Gmini
500’s hard drive. The rst method is very simple and merely
requires that you synchronize a video le in your Media Player library to your Gmini
500. You do not have much
control in this converting process though and Windows Media
®
Player determines which video types it will and will
not re-encode. The second method, though it requires some learning, will allow you to have much more control
over the nal quality of the re-encoded (converted) video le. It is described below. There are other tools available
on the Internet, some free and some for sale, that can also convert your video les into the appropriate MPEG-4
SP video le format for the Gmini
500. See the web site www.mpegmobile.com for a list of a few of them.
PC Tools
The Gmini
500 is delivered with two Windows
®
based programs that allow you to create MPEG-4 Simple
Pro le .AVI video les. They are the MPEG-4 Translator and Virtual Dub
. The MPEG-4 Translator will call the
Virtual Dub program and give it the correct parameters to encode your video from its original format, .avi or .mpg
(mpeg 1), and then encode it into an MPEG-4 SP .AVI le. The le will be scaled in order to be played back
properly.
