Guys,

I've just purchased the Orange/Microsoft Smartphone and PocketTV has just been released in BETA form for it.

Has anyone played with templates when converting movies to watch on the phone ?

Will it be a complete waste of time converting a movie to watch on it ?

If it is worth it then what about one of Kwag's template for it maybe the KSPV

There are some sample movies that the PocketTV team converted and they used the following :

"TMPGEnc defaults, except for the following:
- Video: 176x136, CQ_VBR with Quality set to 11, Motion search = Highest quality.
- GOP: Number of P = 9, number of B = 4 Detect Scene Change = no.
- Audio Sampling freq = 32000, Channel mode = Mono, Bitrate = 32 kbit/sec - if you want stereo, use Audio Sampling freq = 32000 (or 44100), Channel mode = Joint, Bitrate = 64 kbit/sec

If you use those parameters, the average bitrate should be around 120 Kbit/sec, i.e. about 100MB for a 2h movie. "

I was wondering what people's thoughts were on this and how/if the quality could be improved.

TIA

Hi jmjarvis,

I did the complete "The Matrix" movie on 128MB using KVCD templates for Pocket PC . Get them here: www.kvcd.net/dvd-models

Anyone have any sample movies created with this template.

Also has anyone experienced watching these movies on the SPV ?

Just wondering if I'm wasting my time.

TIA
