I canCan someone convert a video for me I am on android and don't have access to a pc
Yes, you got that right.waitwaitwait, so you mean to tell me the GBA has been out for over 20 years, the modding community has grown incredibly, and to this day the best way to convert a video to a GBA ROM is using a piece of software older than some of us here that barely works in the modern day?
did I get that right? Because I feel like I shouldn't have
hell's with the hostility, I was just surprisedscott if there's a problem why not you fix it
Just wanted to ask a question in a thread from years ago but do you have a way to fix a diff issue?Did you use the site I told you to (to convert the mp4 to avi)?
That is the only one that I know for sure works properly. Make sure you set the video codec to msmpeg.

my freinds are going to hate me when they get rickrolled by pokemon rubyHello GBAtemp!
Today I have a guide on how to watch YouTube videos on your Game Boy Advance, using some old, old software!
Step 1: Download the video of your choice in mp4 format using the method of your choice.
Step 2: Use the site linked here to convert that mp4 video to a properly formatted AVI video. https://video.online-convert.com/convert-to-avi
Step 3: Download the tools that I have linked here. https://github.com/Sterophonick/mirror-meteo-avi2gba
Step 4: Launch the meteo.exe application. You should see a very dated looking interface. Drag the AVI video file into the box that is labelled "Movie File."
Step 5: On the box labelled "GBA ROM File," click browse and select the destination of your GBA ROM.
Step 6: On the box labelled ROM Title, give the ROM an internal name. This is optional.
Step 7: Click the option labelled "Manual Settings" and you will be given access to a bunch of other options. To make this simpler, I have some "Sweet Spots" for compression.
Great quality: This is the best way to view trailers and clips, but only allows one on a 256 MBit cartridge
Bitrate: 60
Framerate: 15 fps
Settings: No trim, manual resize 240x160, 4x dither
Average maximum amount of minutes: 8 minutes
Nice quality: These settings are best to store multiple trailers and clips, yet still having very nice quality
Bitrate: 28
Framerate: 12 fps
Settings: No trim, manual resize 216x144, 4x dither
Average maximum amount of minutes: 15 minutes
Lesser quality: These settings can hold most episodes, and still looking great for such a long movie
Bitrate: 12
Framerate: 7.5 fps
Settings: No trim, manual resize 204x136, 4x dither
Average maximum amount of minutes: 25 minutes
Compression quality: The longest recording time with still acceptable video
Bitrate: 8
Framerate: 6 fps
Settings: No trim, manual resize 192x128, 4x dither
Average maximum amount of minutes: 31 minutes
Step 8: After converting your file and there are no errors, then drag the created ROM file on top of the "gbafix.exe" program that I included with the meteo.exe file. This will allow the ROM to be able to run on hardware.
Other notes:
- You can include longer videos but it would look crappy, and your friends will laugh at you because it looks so pathetic.
- There are no seat controls. The B button will restart the video.
- If you get the error "Input File Error" after the video is done, then the ROM has reached over the 32MB limit and you need to try again with more compressed settings.
- This WILL NOT work on Linux or macOS using Wine. I got it to process the video successfully on Linux but the ROM was just a black screen, nothing worked. This guide ONLY works on Windows.

A demo is included here to show that it really works.
Split it into 15-minute segments.How do I make a full film out of this?
All settings I try do not work.
Please help
The film is Bee Movie
Wow! Today I decided to look into this topic wondering if any attempts at modernizing this area has been made in the last couple of years and you mentioned Super from back in the day! Yeah! That was a very reliable tool I used for all sorts of conversions though when I last looked at the software a few years ago it might have appeared more sketchy. It always had that allure on some level but as a teen it proved to be very useful without having to understand anything too technical. Drag n drop heaven (or was it browse?). Just cool to hear others used it too. I kind of hoped to see something similar to mplayer or a port of it from gc maybe made available or attempted but honestly the hardware is probably too different on so many levels hence why nobody really bothers with this front. I had Zoolander on the gba. Was funny to see.This may or may not help. Back in the days of METEO, I used computer programs like AllToAVI and SUPER (C) to transcode my videos into short segments that could be converted to GBA format. It was a weird time. I remember there was something called the "K-Lite Codec Pack" that claimed to install everything needed, but it was a crapshoot as to whether it worked or not.
Just a sample of the ones I was able to convert:
