Hi,

I just downloaded the program. Shoud i use 320X240 or 640X480 for video files? I have a X51v. What is the best setting for the program ?

AxBob

Your Axim is the VGA model right? Then you would use 640X480.

I agree with AxBob. As for settings there is a trade off between the bit rate and the file size.

I use about 540 kbps - Video Quality set to 33 or 34 and Audio Quality set to 6 - 96kbps stereo. This gives about a 750MB file for a two and a half hour movie and gives excellent picture quality - probably as good as the VGA screen can display.

I always use two pass encoding which gives much better quality but, of course, take twice as long to encode. I also use 15 frames per second which, rather surprisingly, causes no flicker but which reducer the loading on the processor and so gives smoother running and better battery life.

But I suggest that you experiment and find the settings which suit you personally.

Good info, thanks.
