Convert Videos for the E61
One thing I like about the E61 is it can seem to replace every single handheld electronic item I have. My nano now permanently resides in my car plugged into the car stereo; I’ve barely played with my Nintendo DS in over a week; and I’m enjoying iPod Video Functionality on my phone.
One of the first things I wanted to do when I got the E61 was load it up with music and video files. Uploading music from itunes was simple, I just had to drag and drop files from itunes straight to my memory card. The videos were slightly tricky, because I didn’t own a single video in my hard drive that’s compatible with either the E-series Real Player or the iPod Video (simply because I didn’t own one).
I searched online for an easy, fool-proof, and more importantly, free media converter; and I found Super!
Super operates easily enough, just drag your video files to the program’s interface, click the option for iPod Video and in a matter of minutes, you have E-61 ready video files. Being a Firefly/Serenity junkie, I immediately converted Done The Impossible and I was happily glued to the screen of my phone for a good 80 minutes.
The Real Player can’t seem to recognize videos over 60 minutes long, so split up those full length movie files before convertion.
Thanks for introducing Super to me. Well, it really has its name right… it is SUPER!
I was having problems using the multimedia software bundled with PC Suite. For all the MP4 converted files I made, RealPlayer would complain about the format and will only play the audio but not the video. Super solved this problem. I can now convert all kind of videos to play on my E61 with ease.
glad to be able to help!
[…] I loaded up my E61 with music and tv episodes. I’ve officially switched from Real Player to DivX. I don’t know if its because I’m more used to divx and xvid files or it’s because it is a better app, but for now, divX it is. I used Super before with most of my video conversion, but I’ve had problems with it whenever I had to convert mpegs. I have some old mpegs tucked away in my hard drive and whenever I want to bring those files around, I can’t do so with Super. […]
