[Q] Optimum Handbrake settings for streak 7

[asjimene]

So im new to Android, I absolutely love my Streak 7. I'm now trying to watch movies on it that I've ripped from DVD's . the Program I'm using for the actual rips is Handbrake on Linux.
The default settings are "OK" but I'm really looking for the optimal settings for video and sound, while still keeping a minimum size.

What I'm looking for:
1. NO black bars on videos (i want to use the whole screen)
2.Minimize the size as much as possible (not the biggest thing in the world)

If anyone else is using handbrake to put DVD's on your streak, What settings are you using?

Have you tried using the "iphone 4" format" on Handbrake?- I used it last time I ripped Guilliver's Travel(paid for DVD but converted to mp4 to view dell) - looks sooo good on Dell Streak 7

downoad mobo media player with latest code tech for arm ...use this to play your mp4 very nice...

Great advice! Thanks

So ripping with the setting at iPhone worked wonders, and the Mobo player works great as well. The mobo player allows screen rotation and also gives you the option to fill the screen(which is what i was looking for)

Rockplayer works well, also.

I don't use handbrake to rip or convert, but I do have some advice.

To remove black bars, keep the same aspect ratio. Make sure to make it cut from the top and bottom, or sides, to make it fit. Not to stretch it. Since the screen is not your typical 4:3 or 16:9, you will need to use a custom resolution.

Be careful with bitrates - too high and you take more memory than necessary. Too small the loss becomes noticable. Using proper bitrates will save you alot of headache about filesize and quality - just find the best balance.

For the audio bitrate, try 128kbps stereo. 128kbps is the quality of a listenable MP3 - noticeable differences from a CD or DVD, but still good enough to use.
