Converting Your Videos to RealPlayer
Don’t you know that RealPlayer support DivX codecs too? It was a surprise to me… How do we convert our videos to be played in RealPlayer? There are already several blogs discussing about this topic. Here are some of them:
* Video transcoding using ffmpeg from Oren (S60 Blog). Oren discussed how to convert our videos using Linux command line tool, i.e. ffmpeg. The tool, ffmpeg, is available for Windows too.
* Transcoding Video Files for Your Mobile Phone from Martin Sauter. Martin discussed how to use Media Coder to convert our videos to be played on S60 phones.
* Media Coder Mobile Phone HOWTO from Media Coder Wiki.
I won’t repeat the steps that are already covered by those postings. I just want to share which software and settings that I use to convert my videos. Normally, I am using SUPER from eRightSoft. SUPER is a free transcoding software that supports many popular codecs, including DivX, XviD, MPEG-4, H-263, H-264, MP3, AAC, …. However, I am also using Media Coder in some other cases. The screenshot below shows the settings that I use in my SUPER to convert videos to be played in RealPlayer for S60.
Output container: mp4 (MPEG-4) Output video codecs: MPEG-4
* Video scale size: 320 x 240 (most of the latest S60 phones use QVGA resolution, however double check your phone resolution)
* Frame/sec: 15
* Bit rate (kbps): 336 (you may need to lower the bit rate if your video cannot be displayed smoothly on the phone)
Output audio codecs: AAC
* Sampling rate: 22050
* Channels: 2
* Bit rate (kbps): 56
Compatible devices: S60 2nd Edition FP3, 3rd Edition, Nokia N-Series, Nokia E-Series.
