We recently got palm centro pda's. The kids wanted to watch their favorite movies on them. I downloaded TCMP (core media player) free version and converted the mpg's from myth to run on it.

The free version can be found at: http://www.arizonaed.com/PALM/tcpmp-palmos/

or elsewhere on the web.

The latest version of Core Media Player does not crash the phone but costs $30.

To convert the files use this quickie script:

Code:
#!/bin/bash

mkdir /myth/avi 2>/dev/null
cd /myth/pretty

for pretty in $@
do

  mpg=`ll "*${pretty}*" |
       head -1 |
       perl -lane 'print $F[-1]'`

  avi=`ls *${pretty}* |
       head -1 |
       perl -F- -lane '
                    $F[0] =~ s/[^\w\d]/-/g;
                    $F[0] =~ s/--/-/g;
                    $F[0] =~ s/-$//g;
                    $F[-1] =~ s/[^\w\d]/-/g;
                    $F[-1] =~ s/--/-/g;
                    $F[-1] =~ s/^-/__/;
                    $F[-1] =~ s/__Untitled//;
                    $F[-1] =~ s/-mpg$/.avi/;
                    printf "%s%s\n",$F[0],$F[-1]; '`

  avi_err=`echo ${avi} |
           sed 's/avi$/err/'`

mencoder -vf scale=320:240 -oac mp3lame -lameopts mode=0:cbr:br=96 -af volnorm -
srate 32000 -ovc lavc -lavcopts vcodec=mpeg4:vbitrate=250 ${mpg} -o /myth/avi/${
avi} 2>/myth/avi/${avi_err} &

echo ${mpg}:${avi}

done


The script dumps the new avi file under newly created directory /myth/avi. Usage syntax is harder to explain. If you have a symlink under /myth/pretty named "Thomas & Friends - 2008-05-11, 9-30 AM - Loyalty.mpg", execute the script thusly:

$ make-palm-avi Loyalty

or

$ make-palm-avi 9-30

or

$ make-palm-avi Friends


In other words just take a unique part of the symlink filename and voila, off it goes.

Good luck,

abs.

Nice post dude, although I don't have a palm, I think some folks out there will appreciate it now or in the future. I think it really belongs in the HOWTO section though. If you want to "move" it there, ie. just repost, I'll delete my reply (this post), then you can delete your original post.

No need. I moved it just now.

thanks

just realized that the script uses "ll". I always create three scripts under /usr/bin on all my boxes as shown below. "ll" is pretty much the hpux ll command. thanks, abs

# cd /usr/bin

# cat ll
ls -pal $@

# cat u
uname -n

# cat psg
ps -ef | grep -i $@

or (dpending on OS)

# cat psg
ps waxu | grep -i $@
