All about Videos(Conversion softwares, formats,Video Players)

[mayur2j]

Hi guys I am starting this thread because i didn't find much information regarding:

1)Video conversion softwares.
2)Best video formats for obtaining least size with highest possbile quality
3)Converting full HD videos to be able to play on defy with the best quality
4)Best players available for defy to play good quality videos smoothly.

I have started experimenting on this..

I am using total video converter for conversion and Moboplayer for playing.
Keeping Resolution 854x480 and Video bit rate 2500Kbps.
I get a file of size 55Mb .avi(H.264) after conversion of a 113Mb .mov(1080p) file.

I want you people to tell me your methods and softwares for doing this.


I hope this thread will help all people having trouble in playing HD videos on their Defy.

I will keep updating whenever I find something new and useful info.
Thank You.

For the Defy, my favorite video conversion software is Handbrake.

It's free and it's the best at letting me crop 4:3 format videos the way I want easilly.

- Choose the 'iPphone Legacy' format
- Uncheck 'large file size' and 'Iphone 5G support'
- Select your file name/location and resolution [make sure that keep ratio is enable];
- Choose auto or set your custom cropping
- Let it do the re-encoding; it is very fast: it keeps both my cpu cores at 100%

The Defy will basically play anything smaller or equal to its native screen resolution but most of the time, I find that 640x360 looks just fine.

What is the best container for 720p movies? I tried .mkv but Software decoding is too slow...Video is chopy but sound is good.
I made my own HD video with Defy camera (auto packed it as .3gp), and when played it was also chopy and even slower than .mkv :S

Ok, that is cool...I have MS2Ginger1.0 with 720p video shootin, but I can't change format when shootin a video...It saves it like .3gp :S
That just sucks then
