Hi Rick,
Last time I went on vacation I converted a bunch of movies for TV out on my
n95. I started out with divx/xvid files and used Super to convert them for the
N95.
In Super I used these options for tv out:
Container: mp4
Video codec: Xvid
Audio Codec: mp3
I used a resolution of 640x360 for 16:9 movies, 640x480 would work for a 4:3, or you can just check the resolution of your original file for other ideas, but keep it below 640x480 as that's the output that real player will send to your tv. I also kept the frame rate at the original rate. As long as you are using Real Player with a compatible video format, you can send 640x480 video to your TV.
For the XVID video codec, I used a bitrate of 1000 kbps and in Super the additional options I used were "hi quality", "top quality" (which reduces the overall size of the video), and 48k audio. I suspect that "top quality" would allow a higher video bitrate without making the file too big, I was getting movies that were 250-400 megs.
For the audio I used 128 kbps and a sample rate of 48kHz.
You can batch encode your videos with Super too, so you can just line up a few and run the computer overnight.
Good Quality Image For TV Output?
