Download Links
Download These then follow Instructions below on Installation
XviD4PSP - http://www.winnydows.com/e107_files/..._5036_full.exe - The main converting program.
MKVToolnix - http://bunkus.org/videotools/mkvtool....9.7-setup.exe - This is for playing around with .MKV files, we will use this to extract subtitles.
MKVExtract GUI - http://coreforge.org/frs/download.ph...UI-1.6.4.1.zip - This makes extracting subtitles a fair amount easier.
Installing the programs
Install the first 2 programs (XviD4PSP, MKVToolnix)
With MKVExtract GUI just unzip it, then copy the .exe into the MKVToolnix directory (default is C:\Program Files\MKVtoolnix)
Before You Start
If you plan on Converting something like a Tv Show. I would Recommend making the filename Shorter so that the whole filename can be viewed on the Ipod/Iphone (E.g. if the name of the file is "Clash.Of.The.Titans.Season.1.Episode.1.avi" this will be to long and you will not be able to see on the Ipod/Iphone what episode it is. I would rename it to something like this "0101 Clash of the Titans" so you can easily identify what Episode or Season) You wont need to do this if you are only doing one episode though.
Converting .AVI Files
1. Open up Xvid4PSP

3. To the left of the video output, you will see Format, Choose "MP4 iPod Touch" as the format.
4. Make sure that both Denoise/Sharpen and Brightness/Contrast are set to Disabled. This is the default setting anyway. You can change this if you want to play around, but it's probably not a good idea
5. With Audio Encoding, choose "AAC-LC ABR 128k"
6. Choose "Save" and select the location you want to output the file to.

7. If you have more than 1 file that you would like to do, i.e, you just downloaded a whole series, click "Open" and repeat steps 3-6. Most likely you will just need to repeat step 6 since it saves your format settings. You will see a list of all files ready for conversion, once you're ready go to step 8.
8. Click "Encode" and it will begin to do its work. After this has completed, open up itunes or whatever you use and copy over the new file(s). Voila! It's done.
Converting .MKV Files
Most new anime coming out these days is encoded in superior h264 quality using the Matroska Video container format. The subtitles for this file format aren't hardsubs, they are softsubs which are seperate included inside the .MKV file. Much like a zip file.
iPods don't like softsubs, so we need to "Burn In" or "Hardcode" the subtitles into the video streams. This is pretty easy to do but requires a few extra steps than just normal AVI Files.
1. First up, we are going to have to 'extract' the subtitles. To do this you will need to navigate explorer to C:\Program Files\MKVtoolnix. You should have MKVExtractGUI.exe in that directory, if you don't copy it in there now.
2. Open MKVExtractGUI, in there you will see "Input". Next to it there will be a '...' button, use this to open the file you want to watch on your ipod.
3. After a slight pause, under content you will see a list with "Track ID 1: Video" etc... Put a tick next to the one that says "Track ID 3: subtitles (S_TEXT/ASS)". It may not be number 3, but that doesn't matter.
4. Click the "Extract" Button. It will pop up a window saying "Files Demuxed Successfully!". This will create a file which will have a filename identical to your .mkv file, for instance if your anime file was 'daisuki.mkv' then you will have a file in the same directory 'daisuki.ass'
5. Open up Xvid4PSP and follow steps 2 - 5 above for AVIs. Don't save it yet.
6. Click "Subtitles" then click "Add". and open up the ".ASS" file that you extracted in step 4.

7. You can now preview your new movie with added subtitles.
8. Click "Save" and choose where you will want to save the converted movie.
9. You can do more than one video at onces, just follow steps 2-8.
9. Click "Encode" and it will do its stuff.
10. Copy them to your iPod Touch / iPhone and Voila! It should Work
