AWESOME! ...Need I say more :)

>(Daniel said the futurama clip was downloaded 45 times until the afternoon!)

>Use only this new halftone tool, my old one is not accurate enough to stay
>in sync with audio. The new tool is rvf_mux, which combines a .rvf (the output
>of halftone) with an mp3 file into a new .rvf file. You can also use this
>new file again as a video input file to rvf_mux, so no need to keep the
>audioless one.
>Those are all command line tools, use them without parameters to get the
>options. I will write better instructions later on.

>Keep the frame rates in mind, they need to stay the same across the tools.
>If you want to tailor to your box, you need to know its approx. LCD refresh
>rate (-play_fps, default is 67), can be found out with:
>http://rockbox.haxx.se/mail/archive/rockbox-archive-2004-01/0741.shtml
>I plan on integrating this test into the player.

>The other rate (only needed by halftone) is -movie_fps, the rate of your

>clips
>may vary, use some info tool to find out if you don't know. If this is

>I've made myself a batch file for the conversion, content is something like:
>avitoyuv flaskOut.avi flaskOut.yuv
>halftone flaskOut.yuv flaskOut.rvf -m 29.97 -p 67.0
>rvf_mux flaskOut.rvf flaskAudioOut.mp2 Futurama.rvf -p 67.0
>
>(But I don't recommend flask, it's pretty bad about downscaling video to
>112*64, edges look jagged). Remember you need an 112*64 pixel .avi as an input
>to the whole procedure. The tools contain avi2wav, useful for extracting the
>audio from an .avi. You need to compress it to mp3 then. VBR is possible and
>recommended, to save space. But most video tools should be able to dump the
>audio track without a need for recompression (in case it's mp2 or mp3).

>Input on suitable video tools is welcome.
