To convert movie files for viewing with Spinal Media Player, you will need ffmpeg.

Convert movie file

Filename = input.avi
This is the full path and filename of the file you wish to convert, e.g.Filename = c:/movies/stargate.avi.
aspect = wide
This will set the resolution of the end file, wide is 256x144, ideal for widescreen movies, full will give you 256x192.
quality = 5
This will set the end quality of the movie. 1 is the best quality and 31 is worst. 5 and 10 is recommended for reliability, although setting it as good as 2 for widescreen will give quite smooth playback.
volume = 400
This will set the output volume of the movie. If your input movie is quite quiet, setting this higher will be better. The number is a percentage so 100 = original volume, 400 = 4x original volume.
output = output.smf
This will set the ouput filename of your movie. Please remember the .smf or the movie player will not list it.
