5.1 Installing the PC Software
5.1 Installing the PC Software
If your video le is not an MPEG-4 Simple Pro le .avi le of the proper size, you will need to re-encode it using
the following utilities. For the Gmini
500, you will need to create an AVI le that is MPEG-4 Simple Pro le with a
resolution up to 720 x 576 (depending on frame rate) and a sound track that is stereo MP3 or WAV. In actuality,
in all cases, a resolution beyond 640x480 does not add any advantage.
MPEG-4 codec (Compression/Decompression)
In order for MPEG4-Translator to compress the video in a le of the format MPEG-4 SP that the Gmini
500 can
read, it requires an MPEG-4 codec to be installed on your computer.If you do not have the approporiate codec
installed, MPEG-4 Translator will tell you on start up which codec it requires. You will be able to download it for
free from the Internet.
Virtual Dub
A utility for transcoding one video le into another. This is a general purpose transfer and cleanup utility which has
many options allowing for even the most dif cult video translations. It will prompt you to save it to C:\Program Files\
VirtualDub. You should use this default directory location. Otherwise you will have to instruct the MPEG-4 Translator
program where to nd it. For more information on Virtual Dub
see the website - http://www.virtualdub.org.
MPEG-4 Translator
This program, developed by Archos, is a “Front-end” for the Virtual Dub program. It has a simple interface which
you use and it then tells Virtual Dub how to process the video le. It sets all the parameters for Virtual Dub
speci cally to create a video le in the right size and format to be read by the Gmini
500. When you run it for
the rst time, the MPEG-4 Translator will need to locate the Virtual Dub program. If you did not install Virtual Dub
in the default location, you will have to show the program where Virtual Dub is. If you forget, Windows
®
will give
you an error when you try to launch it.

MP3 Sound Codec
If MPEG-4 Translator detects a suitable MP3 codec on your PC, it
will use it, and your video le sound track will be MP3. Otherwise, it
will use the standard IMA ADPCM codec. There are MP3 encoders
(usually packaged together as an encoder and decoder) available on
the Web for you to download. If you choose to use the LAME codec,
make sure that you have a version built with the ACM front-end. You
can nd other MP3 codecs on the web by using the search terms
ACM , MP3 and CODEC in your favorite web search engine. Once
this MP3 codec is installed into your system, MPEG-4 Translator will
be able to create nal video les with MP3 sound, even if the source
video le does not have an MP3 sound track.
If you are unsure what codecs (audio and/or video) have been
installed on your computer, you can see the list by going to the
following location.
For Windows XP, click on Start > Settings > Control Panel >
Sounds and Audio Devices Properties > Hardware, choose Audio
Codecs, then click on Properties. You will nd a list here of all the
audio codecs that are installed on your computer. Decoding of MPEG
2 video les is currently not supported by MPEG-4 Translator. These
are usually .mpg or .mpeg format les, not the required AVI le. There
are other tools found on the Internet (FlaskMPEG, Rippack, etc.) that
may be downloaded in order to help you with these le types. A good
starting place is the website www.mpegmobile.com.
5.2 Using MPEG-4 Translator
5.2 Using MPEG-4 Translator
Here you see the image of the main MPEG-4 Translator program. When you rst run the program, if the required
codec has not been installed yet, you will be noti ed. You should download the codec and install it on your
computer. If the Virtual Dub
program has not been installed, you will also be noti ed, and you should install it.
If you have placed the Virtual Dub
program in a folder other than the installer default folder, it will ask you to
locate the le.
