Print Page7. Creating MPEG 4 Movies
The Jukebox Multimedia is delivered with a CD-ROM that includes two PC
based programs that allow you to create MP4 Simple Profile .avi video files.
They are the MP4 Translator and Virtual Dub™. The MP4 Translator will
call the Virtual Dub program and give it the correct parameters to encode
your video from its original format, .avi or .mpg (mpeg 1), and then encode
it into a DivX™ based MP4 .avi file. The file will be of type Simple Profile
and have a resolution of 352 x 288 (for model 20) and up to 640x368 (for
100 series models) in order to be played back properly. Only MP4 files
encoded with DivX™ can be read (XviD also with the 100 series). If the
DivX™ codec is not on the included CD-ROM, please visit the web site of
DivX™ to download version 4.0 or 5.0 (www.divx.com) of this codec. This
will allow your PC to create DivX type videos. The XviD codec is included
on the CD-ROM. See the complete manual on CD for more specific instructions.
8. Viewing Photos
The Jukebox Multimedia & AV series support the viewing of .jpg and
.bmp image formats. The Jukebox will resize the image to fit on the
built-in screen or on a television screen if you choose that output option.
Notice the icon type in the figure to the left. If it is a .jpg or .bmp, the
jukebox will display it without its file extension.
1) Click Play to view your image file
The Jukebox will only list image files of type .jpg and .bmp
Click on PLAY to view the highlighted file
Click the F1 button to change settings between single photo view and multi-photo view
Click the F2 button to remove text
Click the F3 button to get file information or delete the picture
Click Left or Right to go forward or back one picture in the directory
Click Up or Down to rotate a picture
2) Magnify the image with play button
Press the PLAY button again once viewing a photo. The image will enlarge to double size. Click
once on OFF to escape back to normal view.
3) Create a slide show by adding images to the play list
As with music files, hold down the play button while a file is highlighted in the browser view. The
photo icon in front of the file name will change to green indicating that it is in the Playlist.
Do this with different photos to create your slideshow
Save the Playlist (slideshow) or to view instantly do File [F2]: Playlist: File[F2]:Start Playlist
Save slideshow in order to play at another time
4) Use an ARCHOS card reader add-on to get digital photos into Jukebox
ARCHOS makes add-on card readers that allow you to transfer either JPG images from Compact
Flash, SD, Multimedia, SmartMedia, or Memory Stick to your Jukebox Multimedia.
See the last section of this Quick Start Guide for specific add-ons
