Yeah, first I tried Meridian, which once I set screen width to 848, won't play the file, it says "screen size too large", and now I'm using Act I which seems to be better in general, but they both have resolution upscale problem, at least with the HD source files. Meridian gives me a warning on every single file that the bitrate is too high, yet they're all <1,000k, and they do play fine. all the same files in Act I state "playable".
edit: oh yeah, btw, read guide on XDA forums, where someone was using much lower resolution, to still accomplish full screen video. not sure what source files he was using though, and he gave a formula for cropping the video to fit aspect correctly, not sure how that works, don't really care now though that this is working.
Sweet! my conversion just finished, best one i've come up with so far, I used 768/160 and 848x480. At first I got a couple skips, but then it smoothed right out. Thanks!! Great program, and it appears that I can do batches with it, so even better.
I'll def try the 128 audio b/r, it's not like you'd be able to tell using droid speaker, I do have some decent sennheiser headphones though, I was thinking with those 160 might work better.
Thanks again,
