Movies on Windows Mobile

So, you have a movie and you want to encode it to play on your windows mobile device.

If you want to encode it to play full screen then:

Let's say the movie is 720/480 and you want to play at 320/240.

320/240 = 1.33333
720/1.33333 = 540
720-540 = 180
180/2 = 90

This means that you need to crop 90 pixels from each side of the encoded file.

Now set Handbrake to

  • 320 x 240 Width/Height
  • Xvid and mp3 encoders
  • .avi extension
  • Crop manual with 90 on left and 90 on right
  • Video bitrate at 300 or so
  • Leave Video framerate blank
  • Audio bitrate at 56 or 64

See the handbrakescreenshots.pdf file attachment for visual info.

Now, want to use http://www.erightsoft.net/SUPER.html Super to convert video files? First download super from here. Use the same formulas as above to get the proper crop dimensions. Follow the screenshot in the handbrakescreenshots.pdf file attachment for more info.
