Nokia N-Gage και θέαση rm files (Οδηγός δημιουργίας RM)

[sotris99]

Ψάχνοντας βρήκα αυτόν τον οδηγό για να φτιάχνω rm files και να τα βλέπω με τον ενσωματωμένο player του Nokia N-Gage.

 

Εδώ μπορείτε να δείτε τον οδηγό που σας παραθέτω αλλά νομίζω ότι από αυτό το thread θα μπορείτε να το τυπώσετε καλύτερα.

Phone-Vids.com Guide on how to encode video files into a format and size compatible and optimised for mobile phones, in particular Nokia 7650, 3650, 6600 or any device capable of playing RealPlayer .rm video files.

 

This guide is aimed at complete beginners so forgive the hand holding through every single step - but you'd be amazed at the number of emails I still get from people who can't open zip files, who can't find the zip passwords on the site, who confuse real player for real producer etc etc, it's madness.

 

This guide assumes that you are using Helix Producer a trial version of which can be downloaded from http://www.real.com . The first thing you need to do is to download our template file which can be downloaded HERE the file is compressed into a zip file, if you can't open a zip file you need to goto http://www.winzip.com and download the evaluation version of WinZip.

 

Important note - If you are using the trial version of Helix Producer Plus, you WILL NOT be able to encode using the real player 8 codec, this can only be done using the full version. I can not send you the full version you need to buy it or find someone who has it and use theirs.

 

The zipped file Mobile.rpad needs to be extracted into the directory c:\program files\real\helix producer plus \audiences . See the image below.

 

 

This template file contains a list of the optimal settings required to create files for your mobile device and saves you having to enter these details in everytime you wish to encode a file.

The next step is to obviously load the program helix producer plus, see image below if you're unsure.

 

 

When the program is loaded, it should look like the image below, if it doesn't then you're obviously using the wrong program and need to start again!

 

 

The next step involves browsing to find the file which you wish to encode. Helix Producer Plus encodes most file formats, but it will not convert .RM into .RM which for me is a slightly annoying feature. Some typical examples of formats you may wish to encode are: .mov .avi .mpg .wav .aif .mpeg .au .dv .mp1. mp2 . mp3 etc etc. So in the left hand window which to give you a clue says "Input", you need to browse to your input file by clicking the browse button then selecting your file. See image below.

 

 

In this example you can see I selected an episode of Southpark which is in .avi format. Select your file then press the "open" button. When done correctly, in the left hand window you will see a preview of the first frame of the video file (which in this case is just a pure black still frame) and you will also notice that in the output window on the right hand side of the program, Helix has created a destination file - which again for the numpties amongst us is where your finished output file will be saved. To change this directory you need to double click on the destination file name where you will then be given the option of choosing a name and folder to save your output file into. Still with me? If so give yourself a pat on the back, it's not rocket science is it? Bet you can't believe you didn't figure this out for yourself!?!? Me too! Ok enough of the sarcasm, moving on.

 

 

The next thing we need to do is to select our Mobile.rpad template file which will tell Helix Producer Plus which settings we want to use to encode our video, to do this you need to press the button labelled Audiences. You will then be presented with a list of templates and you obviously have to select the one you wish to use. In this case we will be selecting our Mobile.rpad template file. Highlight the Mobile.rpad file and then press the right pointing arrow to send the template to the right hand list of templates we could use for this encoding. When i'm encoding videos I normally remove the templates I don't intend on using, you don't have to do this, but sometimes it can be a useful thing to do as you're less likely to accidentally select the wrong template file. So your screen should be looking something like the screenshot below.

 

 

The next stage is perhaps one of the most important steps and something which many people have got wrong. A step which when done incorrectly will lead to your final outputted file not working on your mobile device. From the list of settings at the top, it is imperative that you select RealVideo8 as your video codec and not 9. 9 WILL NOT WORK. You also need to ensure that you resize the video to the correct size of your mobile phone screen. In this example we are working towards the dimensions of a Nokia 3650. Ensure that Maintain Aspect Ratio is ticked and then enter the value 176 into the Width entry box, the height will automatically be calculated due to the fact that the aspect ratio is being maintained. Some files will vary slightly but as long as the file is near 120 pixels high things should still go smoothly. A final optional setting is the two pass video encoding option. This does not have to be ticked but i tend to find better results when it's ticked. The downside to this is that the encoding process can often take twice as long as your input video is analysed twice.

 

Before going any further, check and double check that you have got the above settings correct, because as I already stated if you use the Real Video9 codec your files will not play on your mobile phone or other device.

 

 

With any luck your screen should look something like the above example. All that's required from you now is to press the encode button and the encoding procedure will begin. Obviously the time taken to encode any single video file is dependant on the speed of your computer as well as the size and length of the file you're encoding and again it also depends on if you've ticked the two pass encoding option.

 

When the encoding is complete you should then have, in your chosen location, your final .rm video encoding of your original file. All that's required now is to get that file from your PC to your mobile phone or device, which again for some of the numpties out there is a whole new other tutorial that needs writing. Using the 3650 as an example, the best way is to copy the file onto your MMC memory card using a card reader if you have one. If you don't have one, if your PC is Bluetooth compatible you can send the file to your phone using a Bluetooth signal. You could also use infrared as means of transmission but this is likely to take a long while, the final option is Email, but this requires you having an email account setup on your phone.
