Video conversion - please help

[Neil Hindry]

I posted a message a week or two ago regarding converting a video file to a
format that would play on my Kodak SV710 digital photo frame.
I converted my file to various formats but unfortunately none of them would
play on my frame.

However, since then I have found two important pieces of information which I
hope will enable someone to help me convert the file to a format that will
play on my frame.

Firstly I found in the manual that it will play MPEG4 videos.

Secondly, I found a file that would play on my frame (I have not converted
it) and using media software (cannot remember which) I was able to find out
information about the file.
This is what I discovered :-

Video
Image size 352 x 288
Frame rate 25,000 fps
# of frames 746 frames
Codec 4CC MPEG
Video duration 00:00:29:840
Aspect ratio 1:1 (1:1)

Extra properties
Packed Bitstream No
Quarter Pixel No
GMC No

Audio
Codec MP2
Channels MONO
Bitrate 4000 Bps / 32 kbps
Frequency 32000 Hz
Audio duration 00:00:29:952 (0 Mbytes)
VBR Not ticked

Am I right in thinking that the type of codec is 4CC?

Does anyone know of any free software I can download that can convert a file
to the same format as the information above?

I hope you can help me.

I appreciate any help or information given.

Thanks!

Thanks for all your help so far. I think I am starting to understand things
more.

However, I am confused.
When I try to match the settings for my video clip against the video clip
that will play on my frame, I do not have some of the values available to
select, there are others but not always the exact ones I need. I am
obviously doing something wrong but I do not know what.

I am tying myself in knots trying to figure it out.
I have uploaded the video file that works on my frame so if someone wants to
look and it and help me understand what settings I need to put where they
can.
It can be found at http://www.zen35469.zen.co.uk/salmon.mpeg

I hope you can help.

I really appreciate all the help and information.

Thanks!
