Cross-compiling for the N800
I have downloaded a small C console utility which I'd like to compile for my N800. It doesn't have any dependencies outside itself. I have gcc on my Ubunty Gutsy system...but it's been a decade or more since I used C in anger and I can't figure out the command to use to cross-compile for the ARM. The obvious one doesn't work: gcc -marm -o foo foo.c bar.c (complains unrecognized command line option "-m", despite -m being described prominently in the gcc man page :-) Does anyone have a working incantation? ///Peter ___ maemo-users mailing list maemo-users@maemo.org https://lists.maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-users

Yes...I was short of storage space at the time, so it was deliberate. This is why I want to redo it all. Plus something (screensaver?) must have interrupted my laptop during ripping, because a couple of times during playback it gets to a point where it it just freezes irretrievably and you have to reboot. What I *really* need is a 64Gb SD card :-) ///Peter ___ maemo-users mailing list maemo-users@maemo.org https://lists.maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-users

The aspect ratio of the window whether full-screen or not is the same; however "smallest" is a *really* low quality encoding to be the smallest possible to watch for short clips. I tend to use a preset of: * "best" if I've never seen the thing before * "good" for everything else * "average" (the default) for very short clips and tests "smallest" is the lowest quality which I find even bearable for something I'm not watching properly (if you see what I mean).

I used an earlier version to put LoTR on my N800 to watch during a stay in hospital :-) One query: is it optimised for the default size of window (shown when you open Media Player, with the sidebar, buttons, banner, and toolbar on display; and therefore with a reducd viewing area), or for full-screen? I used the "smallest" to save as much space as possible (and presumably make it play more smoothly) but there seemed to be a noticeable difference (more pixelation) at full-screen play compared with default. ///Peter ___ maemo-users mailing list maemo-users@maemo.org https://lists.maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-users

cool, this is such a great product. Keep it comming. If you need my help for maybe writting documentation of the script please feel free to ask. I used it all the time and I might be the user with biggest questions. Since I am already writing you, how can I make the video to not get croped. Some of my Japanese anime are left without subtitles and I am still not passed through the basic Hiraganas of my japanese :) On Sat, Mar 29, 2008 at 5:06 AM, Andrew Flegg <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > tablet-encode v2.18 > ~~~ > > tablet-encode is a powerful application which guarantees to convert > your videos to formats which will play on your Internet Tablet.
