mobile encoding

[dplaton]

I have a smartphone with a 176x200 display.
The player (not WMP9) betaplayer (this is the old name of The Core Media Player Pocket) rotate the image to play the movie in full screen.
What is strange is the fact that for doing this it seem to me that zoom 200% the image. I don't know if is correct what I'm saying but on my PC I must to zoom 200% for realise how the movie will look on the phone screen.

Now I'm very satisfied I can encode (with xvid ;) ) at resonable quality.
I use avisynth to change fps from 25 to 17 then I encode qpel and target 4 and the resulting average bit rate is around 200.

That's all

Sounds good. If you want to know the actual zoom on your SF, try zoom->100%. By default, TCPMP stretches the image to fit the length of your screen, and then scales the hieght up accordingly.

Thanks.
The zoom was on 100%, I tryed also fit screen, fill screen and the same looking aspect problem problem.
If this detail aspect problem wasn't I could lower even more the bitrate.

Ah, sorry for the long wait. TCPMP actually has aspect ratio correction integrated into the decoder. Simply select an option from this menu (on your device):

Have fun! ;)

Try PocketdivxEncoder at http://divx.ppccool.com/

You don't need to go down with the FPS...
My MPX200 (120 mhz cpu) can play 25 fps without problems

I will make an xvid + mp3 pocket encoder soon: RealAnime Pocket.

So you switched to xvid after all :)
VICTORY IS MINE ;)

Well, RV10 just doesn't have fast enough playback for the PPC (at least compared to TCPMP's ASP). I don't think he "switched" to XviD just like that ;)

But then again, what do I know of another's mind?

This is usually correct, but dplaton is encoding with Qpel, which isn't supported by the primary ASP decoder and therefore plays back at less than 50% of the speed. Even this would be OK, but it really depends on the device :).
