Getting to optimal target resolution, can be done step by step, that's how I arrived at optimal resolution for Touch-HD.

1) Target resolution = 800*480
2) Aspect Ratio = 800/480 = 1.666666666666667
3) Now start tweaking one of the parameters, lets reduce the height to 348,
in order to maintain aspect ratio we have to multiply (1.666666666666667 * 348) = 580.000000000000116 ~ 580
4) Thats it !! now set your target resolution in the converter to 580*348 and see how it performs


Make sure you increase your bitrate to get sharper and better quality.
For Touch-HD, I use the following configuration:
Target Resolution = 540x384
Bitrate = 1500

Since I'm using Linux on all my systems but am also a little too lazy to try and find out the optimal ffmpeg-parameters for my Blackstone - would it be possible to get a non-compiled version of VideoConvertor? If it's java, it should probably be fixable for Linux too...

I'm having problems in converting a 720p mkv file to a WVGA (800x480) format. For some reason, the screen keeps getting stretched vertically. How can I make this program automatically fit a WVGA format in the settings?

[itsme_4ucz]

What is your configuration? (Screenshot or generated .bat file will help).
Tried encoding a sample video, take a look at the configuration used...

Great App!! very fast!!

The Touch Pro 2 fails at playing HTC-HD Profiled videos.

To play smooth videos on the Rhodium, change the resolution what I've found to be the optimal resolution: 640 x 384

I don't know why 800 x 480 doesn't work well...

[itsme_4ucz]

Yes thats true, rendering video of that size requires better processor, even Touch-HD fails to perform well at that resolution. Thanks for sharing optimal resolution: 640 x 384 for touch-pro, will include that to profiles.xml.

I am looking at optimizing the perfomance at 800x480, its closely related to the codec used for conversion, will include this fix in the next release.
