Everyone,
As the Nexus gets close, I thought it would be a good idea to put together some tips on how to best get our LEGALLY OWNED movies on to our new toy.
I will attempt to keep the OP updated with the new methods as people chime in.
I am by no means an expert in Handbrake. In fact, I have ripped all my purchased blu-rays to my HTPC, but have never downsized them to fit on a phone until this week. I tried doing this, because with the Nexus I am now interested in putting some films on my phone for business trips/commutes.
I started with the Incredible forum, and found a topic, but there wasn't a consensus on settings.

In addition, there is a topic in the EVO forum.
Support Anyone converting movies with Handbrake yet? (or other tools)
Here is what I landed on for my incredible rips, to get them to play without skipping, etc... For those of you more familiar with Handbrake, how might we build upon this to get HD movies onto the Nexus.
Handbrake
Container: MP4
Picture:
Width: 720
Anamorphic: None
Cropping: Automatic
Keep Aspect Ratio: Checked
Video:
Video Codec: H.264(x264)
FPS: Same as source (although may just set it at 24)
Avg. Bitrate: 800 (anything higher and I had a lot of slowness/jitter, etc...)
Audio:
Audio Codec: AAC
Bitrate: 128
Chapters:
Create chapter markers: Unchecked
Now I know these aren't HD settings, so let's hear from those more experienced in Handbrake what your settings will be.
In addition, if you have other means to put them on the phone, other than Handbrake, lets hear 'em.
