there's been a lot of discussion on oesf forums about it at various times. basically, scale and rotate the video so that the zaurus has to do the least amount of work possible, so keep the H rez 640 or the Vertical res = 480 so there's no scaling at all (i.e 640x480 for normal 4:3 movie, or 640x400 for 16:9), or 320x240 as quarter rez. sound should be 48KHz sampling rate, or 24, stereo or mono. compressed bitrate can be as little as 96kbps for mono to give adequate fair quality for speech, 128kbps for joint stereo. IME the zaurus seems to struggle when it has to resample the sound stream for a different sampling rate. feel free to have a play with a script I hacked up here which will encode files or rip a DVD: http://www.zaurus.org.uk/download/scripts/avi-recode-2pass.sh _______________________________________________ Angstrom-distro-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.linuxtogo.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/angstrom-distro-users
