Best video encoder settings?

[mactablet]

I've searched but came up blank. Does anyone have an optimal setting to rip video for playback on the Advantage? I've tried a few settings and some didn't work at all, some playback with a stutter. I thought I'd see if anyone here has discovered a best setting.

I'm trying to play them back on pocket player or tcmp.

I'm using CorePlayer (it appears that it's actually using the ATI Imageon for hardware video acceleration) and am getting great results (smooth playback, almost no frames dropped) with H.264 at 25 or 29 FPS with 320x240 resolution, but TCPMP seems to play the files well too.

as most people here, i use Core player or TCPMP, depeniding on the ROM i'm using at the time.

But most common one i use is coreplayer 1.21.
DivX or Xvid encoding at between 600 & 750 kbps for the video, 128kbps aac or MP3 for the sound.
-0.200 delay on the audio in coreplayer/TCPMP and they are as smooth as butter.

Pisses the ipod touch owners at work off something rotten when they see the video on my athena!!

I use Pocket DVD for PPC & Palm at these settings:

Audio: 24 kbps, 22 KHz, Mono

Video: 512 kbps, 24 fps, 464X288

Never had any problem in any of my devices.

hey cktlcmd,

using mono audio would really lose the 3d effect on movies, which imho is what most people want/expect nowadays. this is really a big plus on action movies.

anyway, just a thought.

ciao!

Hopefully just to add to this thread's question. At this point which one is preferred....Coreplayer (newer version) or TCPMP .7 or .8?

For me, anytime it is coreplayer now. It lets you search and play youtube in very high quality without lag. Not to mention that it is also visually a lot more appealing.

Thanks for the reply eaglesteve. So why are there so many die hard TCPMP fans (I myself up until now)? Are there any advantages "at this point" that TCPMP have over its successor Core?

May be because one is free and the other is not.

Makes since. I guess when I became a fan, it was when Core was just released. Folks over at the Aximsite.com at the time explained that there were advantages that TCPMP had because it was still beta, "free", was able to add plugins, things that I was told Core didnt have on its first lauch.

I guess I never kept up with the improvement over the time.

BTW....thanks for your input. Last night I purchased Core....I'm excited to use later today. Would it be wise to get the Core Pro for desktop? I have been using the DVD Decrypt and AutoGK for my video conversions.
