Converting Videos for the Creative Zen

  By Sam | 4th April 2009 - 2:15 pm | Bash, Programming, Tips Leave a comment

I have a Creative Zen, its a very nice little mp3/video player, and while it plays xVid/DivX/WMV its a bit picky about what it will play.

So ive created this script to convert videos to a format it will play (320×240, xVid, with auto black bars to maintiain aspect ratio & 128KB ABR MP3 audio).
Its a Bash script using Mplayer / Mencoder.
