  • Next step is adding sound to your video file. Run the tool avi2wav using the format: +
    +        avi2wav [input.avi] [output.wav]
+
    + For example, if your original file is called "filename" then you'd put in the following: +
    +        avi2wav filename.avi filename.wav
+
    + + OPTIONAL: You can name the output differently. + +
  • The extracted audio file must be in mp3 format, so you have to convert the WAV file into MP3. + One option is using the LAME codec. You can download the win32 binary from http://mitiok.cjb.net + One format used with LAME (good quality/size) is: +
    +         lame --preset standard [input.wav] [output.mp3]
+
    + For example, if your audio file is called "filename" then you'd put in the following: +
    +         lame --preset standard filename.wav filename.mp3
+
    + + OPTIONL: You can name the output differently. Also, you can use other wav to mp3 tool, or even use + other options in the lame command. The --preset standard will give you a VBR file, so if you want a + CBR file, just change the preset to --preset cbr [kbps], where [kbps] is the Constant Bit Rate desired. + +
  • Now we have to merge the sound with the video, so run the rvf_mux tool found + in the packet you've downloaded, using the format: +
    +        rvf_mux [option] [videoinput.rvf] [audioinput.mp3] [output.rvf]
+
    + For example, if your video file from step 6 is called "filename.rvf" and the audio file from step 7 + is called "filename.wav" then you'd put in the following: +
    +        rvf_mux filename.rvf filename.mp3 filename_av.rvf
+
    + + NOTE: You can use any name for the output file, but it's recomended that the name is not the same name + used in the input video file. + You can change the frames per second of Rockbox playback using the -play_fps [fps] option. The default + value is 67.0 fps. +
