MP-578V: Revision 3

We have bought one of those small mp3 players with video which play "amv"<> semi format.

Dependence on Windows suck, but you can pull few tricks by recoding your various formats into correct resolution before encoding them:

.pre
ffmpeg -i source.avi -s 160x120 -r 16 -acodec copy /tmp/test.avi
.pre

Here is alternative using `mencoder`

.pre
mencoder -o /tmp/test.avi -ovc lavc -vf scale=160:120 -ofps 16 -oac copy source.avi
.pre

This way ffmpeg will scale video to superb quality and `AVM Transform.exe` won't choke on them.

Following is content of `transformsetup.ini` to use native player's resoltion:

.pre
[Setup]
Overwrite=TRUE
Insertwave=TRUE
Insertpic=FALSE
Transplay=TRUE
Trycode=FALSE
VFBS=high
VWH=160*120
.pre
