Request for new Sony Walkman X Series

[GMack]

Hi all, hope you can help a newbie out on this.

I just bought a Sony Walkman NWZ-X Series. Instructions say the screen size is 432x240 (Ratio 9:5) which must be the new OLED screen format size. The Sony Walkman shown on CloneDVD Mobile is very small, 160x120.

Anyway, I have trouble using CloneDVD Mobile. I get a file transfer to the device that shows the title as DVD_Video (or was it Video_DVD?) and it displays on the device as "New" but it will not play as it pops up a screen saying "Unrecognized format" even though the extension was "Movie Title.mp4".


Specs I've seen posted elsewhere on the device are:

Those specs show max resolution of 320x240 (full screen) for mp4 files. Try the existing Generic WMV/WMA (experimental) profile - it already includes 480x270 (which the specs accept for widescreen wmv files). Use Windows Media Player 11 to sync to the device. Try it on a small file (e.g. use scissors to transcode 1 chapter of a movie). May not work because I think it is wmv8 not wmv9.

Or you could try adding this profile to your devices.ini file (in Program Files/Slysoft/CloneDvdMobile folder):

[Sony Walkman NWZ-X (mp4)]
ScreenRatio=9:5
Manufacturer=Sony
Res1=160x120
Res2=320x240
Res3=480x360
ResAna1=160x90
ResAna2=320x180
ResAna3=480x270
ARate=48000
ABRate=128
Format=lavf
lavfopts=format=mp4
FileType=mp4
Quality=30
lavcopts=aglobal=1:vglobal=1:vcodec=mpeg4:acodec=libfaac
MVolume=10
useMencoder=1
SubTitle=1

If the 480x270 doesn't work, try 320x180 (for widescreen movies) with letterbox zoom option.
