Just bought Pocket DVD Studio. Was wondering what settings everyone is using. Share please! :cheers:

I kinda doubt that x50v owners use this application. Does it support Divx or Xvid? Do u have at least 1Gb SD or CF card? With x50v I'd think about the settings from another angle: Whatcha wanna do with a movie afterwards?

I've been using this gem since my Palm days. For the X50v, I use Xvid, and encode with dual pass so the bitrate (VBR, that is) is about 600-700 kbps. Audio is about 180 kbps IIRC. That's at 640 x 480. Once set up the first time, rips only take me about a minute to get started.

Ah! So that's where I'm getting these errors from! Thanks for the clue - Pocket-DVD Studio gotta be very wide used application then :realmad:

The best settings is full auto mode in FairUse.

Just move the quality slider in Pocket DVD Studio until the file size is what you want.

No that's not correct, they're just warnings not errors.

The warning on the left is caused by using MP3 VBR audio within an AVI container, aka Nando's Hack, which is perfectly OK but can cause problems if you attempt to edit the AVI. For example if you split the movie in half, the second half might lose audio/video synchronisation, if you are converting a whole movie start to finish then this warning can be safely ignored.

The warning on the right is caused by a combination of two things, the fact that VirtualDub uses the old Video for Windows interface (if you play it in WMP or any other player that uses Directshow then that message never appears) and shows that an old version of XviD was used to compress the video. If you step forward a couple of frames then go back to frame 0 the message will have vanished as it's not actually part of the video, instead it is generated by the XviD decoder.

Thanks for the explanation.

No "cans" - it DOES cause problems EVERY TIME I attempt to edit an AVI. I know how to deal with it though.

Again, :) no "mights" - the sound is unsynchronized ALMOST every time I attempt to edit

I've been using Pocket DVD-Studio for a while with my x50v and haven't had any problems (with syncing or otherwise). I use the lowest graphics settings to save on memory (I couldn't tell a huge difference in quality). I like it better than the others (Pocket DVD or DVD Wizard which I often had sound problems with).

is it worth to buy this program? its $32 and most other procedures involve at least 2 programs. with pocket dvd studio, its the only app u need to take a dvd movie to pocket pc. u can convert directly to wmv.
