One of the features I wanted to use the most on my smartphone is the ability to view videos anywhere. I have figured out already that I can transcode videos on my computer in the mp4 format the phone can read them thanks to the Blackberry Desktop Manager.
But I have a frequent problem with doing that. Often, the video after conversion will be only two left halves;`I mean the left half of the video is copied on the right half, so I see twice...of half the movie.
At first I thought this was because of the original dimensions of the movie, which were unproportional to 4/3 or 16/9. But now I have the same problem with a video that is 512pixels/384pixels, or, 4/3. In theory, there shouldn't be any problems. This is driving me mad, because I love watching videos anywhere. Can anybody please help me?
I have tried many combinations and this it what I find works best for me. Use Super C by eRightSoft (free by the way) and convert your videos with the following settings for the 8300:
Output container: avi
Output video codec: MPEG-4
Output audio codec: mp3
Check off: MEncoder
Video
Video Scale Size: 320x240
Aspect: 4:3
Frames/Sec: 14.985
Video Bitrate: 480
Video Options: Hi Quality
Audio
Sampling Freq: 44100
Channels: 2
Audio Bitrate kbps: 128
DVD Language Select: default
When a box pops up chose DivX not DivX 5 or 6 plain DivX no number next to it.
No need to get Media Manager involved if you have a media card in the BB.
Just enable Mass Storage Mode Support under options and then Media Card.
The BB will come up just like a drive under My Computer in windows, open up the folder scroll down to videos folder and drop your videos right in there.
