TV Episodes on AXIM x5 400mhz

Cilrider · 05-01-03, 10:10 AM

So Im getting my Dell Axim x5 this weekend and something I really want to do is put TV episodes on it.

Is there a way where I can compress the video? Im going to use a 128 SD Card.......

What programs would I use to compress the audio/video?

Thank you1:D

Just follow these instructions. I've got some Transformers episodes on mine right now. :) The SD card is slower than the CF so you may want to put them onthe CF card.

hambalan's formulas are very useful and handy. In general, you should try for anywhere between 1-2 megs per minutes of original video. The beauty of Vdub (and similar programs) is the ability to adjust the settings to suit your preferences. Personally, my hearing has degraded to the point that I can bias the encoding to the video side, putting more emphasis on higher bit rate and smoother, richer playback.

If you are using PocketMVP, try downloading some available trailers and checking on the encoding settings of the short videos. This will give you a benchmark to start your encoding experience.

To find the settings, first load a clip, then choose File - Media Info. To view perfomance stats, try Settings - Configure - check "Show dropped frames" box - Save. Play the file and the stat window will pop up afterwards.

Check here for trailers.

I am getting my Axim next week. I have been on this forum for 2 months. I was waiting on tax refund to purchase. The one thing I want to try as soon as possible is to play a TV program or a Movie on it. I have none of the above and would like to know where to find them or does someone have some on a ftp site they would allow me to look at just to see how it works?
