Try the setting in red.

I have all the above setting plus 1248 kpbs for video and the output mp4s are only half the size of the source avis. So I think yours should be smaller using the setting above.

is super the best one to use then? Doesnt nokia do one thats better? And is it posisble to get the same quality as say the spiderman 3 film that comes with the n95 8gb because thats great qaulity!!

Super is good because it allows conversion of various video formats. Not only that it is able to fully convert them with options in video and audio quality so as to optimise the file size for your mobile use.

I've only used it recently, and the conversion time is one of the fastest I've witnessed so far.

I use the following and find the quality really good...

MP4
H.264/AVC
AAC
320:240
4:3
25 fps
384 kbps
44100
2 channels
Biterate 128 kbps

I tested 640:480 movies the other day to play on the TV, but it won't play H.264/AVC encoded movies at that resolution, so had to use MPEG-4...

MP4
MPEG-4
AAC
640:480
4:3
25 fps
432 kbps
44100
2 channels
Biterate 128 kbps

It results in bigger files sizes and plays well on the TV, but generally I keep them 320:240 and just watch them on the phone.

I'd just like to say thank you for these suggestions because I wasted hours trying to find the right ones. Then, when I found settings that worked, I didn't note what they were. Duh... <:-(

I was watching South Park (I own the DVD) encoded with these settings on the way to work this morning and the quality of the sound (I was using headphones) and picture was excellent.

I've always found that cartoons show up video artifacts more than videos. So if these settings work for cartoons, they should be fine for video as well.

320x240 still has a slight border on the n95 8gb screen....

I've just tried the above settings. The video is top notch but there's no sound. Has anyone else experienced this? I'm using the most recent version of Super (build 30).

[UPDATE]

OK got it working properly now. I changed two settings and that seems to have solved the problem. I unticked "DirectShow Decode" and "48K Audio" (which then changed its label to "44K Audio").

I'm quite impressed with the results. Normally I use 3GP Converter which is very simple and converts videos quickly. It makes videos with 15FPS, the sound is mono but very good and the file size is also good. SUPER with the above settings made a video that's ever so slightly better (25FPS, stereo) and is a little bigger as a result.

I used an episode of Dilbert to compare the two. The episode was 22:27 long and was originally an AVI at 175Mb in size. SUPER produced a video of 82.2Mb and 3GP Converter made a video at 74.2Mb. If you compare the two together you can tell the difference but I suppose I would've been happy with sticking with 3GP Converter. Nonetheless, the SUPER video gave me a little motion sickness when I was watching the introduction animation at the beginning of the show (Anyone who's seen Dilbert will know what I mean), so the smoothness and quality shows I guess.

I use these settings and I still can't play it Real Player on my N95-3

Yo guys i know i started this thread but since then i have come by Media Studio for Nokia it is very simple to use it lets you select what size you want the file to be e.g 128mb, 256mb, 512 an so on it sets all the settings it self once you have chosen the phone from the list when your installing the app i dnt think they have the 8GB but they do support the N95-1 so it is same an the quality of the video is superb believe me!!!

I am using dvd shrink which i find to be easy and does everything you need, removes encryption and region free as well, I first of all reauthor the dvd for just the main film title, after that is done i open my saved file in dvd shrink and shrink it down to 2 gig, then i use esuper to convert to mp4 h264 format with aac sound, if you want custom size frames just click the more word in the frame size box till you get the custom selection box and enter the size of frames you want

[rosstackular]

So just to be clear, unlike some screens be it a monitor or TV - the n95's real player won't give you the option to stretch the horizontal black bars and there's no real way to encode a wide screen movie into full without major messing around?

I pretty much have the 'SUPER' thing down and it's certainly way better than the DivX player. And since I accidentally killed Spidey 3, is it safe to assume that they pre-loaded a full screen version as there were no black bars?

Yeah newbian questions, I know - this is the first time I've actually had a decent phone.
