[MPlayer-users] Translating movie files to a portable movie device (ffamv I think)]

[David Creelman]

Hi,
I recently bought a quite cheap handheld movie player and I've copied the
move file from the device to Linux and I can quite happily play the file via
mplayer, giving the following 

> mplayer movie1.amv 
MPlayer dev-SVN-r27474-4.3.1 (C) 2000-2008 MPlayer Team

This is just one of the demo movies that comes with the device. I'd like it
if I could translate some stuff I have to the format the device uses, but I'm
unsure how to specify the details correctly on the command line.

Can someone point out where I could look to find out how to get this to work?

I'm using mplayer/encoder built from svn, running on Debian.

Any help appreciated.
Thanks
David
