SCH-R500 Video

Using MediaCoder

MediaCoder can be used to encode videos for display on the SCH-R500. You will need the AMR codec for Mediacoder. Try this first. If not then proceed here or here.

Encode as

Xvid video
.mp4 container
AMR narrowband audio with or without dtx
8000Hz resample
150 Kbps
176x144 resize
15 fps

Download the MediaCoder preset.

See Mediacoder AMR page for more information on the AMR narrow band codec.

For a successful AMR encoding in MediaCoder, you have these steps to follow:
1. Update MediaCoder to 0.6.0.3760 or later
2. Download and install AMR Codec Pack for MediaCoder
3. Start MediaCoder, switch to Audio tab and set Audio Encoder to AMR
4. You can choose between AMR-NB or AMR-WB in the AMR tab on the right side
5. Do click on either AMR-NB or AMR-WB radio box as this clicking will make the
correct resample and channel options (8Khz/mono for AMR-NB and 16Khz/mono for AMR-WB)

Codec can be downloaded here or here.

Visit csite.net for various forums on converting 3gp video.
