other settigns for mediacoder:

video codec: Mpeg4

BEST ENCODER BY FAR: Mediacoder (uses cuda)

Settings Container:mp4
Constant bitrate: 1400 kbps
Resolution: Forced 640×480
Framerate: 25FPS
Audio: LC- AAC
Sound: gain +13Db as output from phone is usually
poor to tv

When transferring large files I have found that using a microSD –>USB adaptor can transfer a 250MB file in <20secs then put card back into phone.

Also since recent firmware updates the N95-1 and up can handle 16GB MicroSD cards fine. Spread the news.

to encode an avi to to an nokia e71 recognized mp4 format:

ffmpeg -y -i inputFILE.avi -acodec aac -ab 72k -s 320×176 -aspect 16:9 -vcodec h264 -b 300k -qcomp 0.6 -qmin 16 -qmax 51 -qdiff 4 -flags +loop -cmp +chroma -subq 7 -refs 6 -g 250 -keyint_min 25 -rc_eq ‘blurCplx^(1-qComp)’ -sc_threshold 40 -me_range 12 -i_qfactor 0.71 -directpred 3 outputFILE.mp4

original file was 700MB, resulting mp4 encoded file slightly less then half @300MB…quality is excellent

even though I don’t foresee watching many video’s on this amazing phone, I thought I would share my findings…

what do i do?

Hi all.

This is how to convert your quicktime movies to play on your nokia n95 8gb.

“Open movie with Quicktime Pro,
File > Export
Movie to 3G > Options

Video Settings:
Video Format: MPEG-4
Data Rate: 512kbits/s
Image Size: 320×240 (Tick preserve aspect ratio and use letterbox, you can use crop if you don’t mind a cropped image for movies)
Frame Rate: Custom – 30frames/sec
Keyframe: Every – 24 frames

This should work as it does work with my Quicktime files.

You can use 320×240 if you don’t need to connect it to TV or 640×480 if you need it.
Very fast, it uses every cicle of your computer’s processor and very easy to use.

anyone know any converter than can convert rmvb format files to 3gp or avi or other format that can be played using N95???

pls help

I found a lot of this quite useful but also perhaps misleading if you are using an N95 8gb with the latest Symbian OS and converting videos on a Mac (I have no idea how Quicktime Pro works on the PC). The problem I found, which seems to be a common one, was that no matter how I jiggered about with the settings, h.264 movies were coming back with either bad sound or no image. Perhaps had I had more patience I might have found the ideal setting, but from what I have read this seems to be difficult and (oddly) seems to vary.

In a last ditch attempt I tried the default settings, (although I have since bumped up kbps to 512 for better quality and switch on “preserve aspect ratio” so as not to crimp the movies) and the output MP4s play without a hitch.

This converts .AVI perfectly well (including torrents) that can be played back in the N95 8gb Realplayer app. at fullscreen in either orientation. I have yet to try it on alternative file types supported by Quicktime. The conversion rate changes a 350 meg .AVI into a 195 meg MP4.

To clarify, the settings I am using are:

File Format: MP4 (ISMA)
Video Format: Mpeg-4 (Improved)
Data Rate: 512 kbits/sec
Preserve aspect ratio using letterbox
Framerate: 30
Key Frame: every 24 frames

Quicktime Pro version 7.4.5
Intel Macbook OS 10.5.3
The Nokia is from O2 UK and is the N95 8GB Black running Symbian 0S S60 3rd Edition

Hope that helps some people

Looking for a converter on the PC. Maybe this will do the trick. I think it user ffmpeg as the engine just like VisualHub for MAc

Why are you guys encoding with 700kbits on a 320×240 video? The old VHS size. h.264 should do great with a lot less.

After a few tests with VisualHub I have come to the conclusion that a 700mb movie at… maybe 716 x 296 pixels should be less than 250mb converted for the Nokia phone. Your goal should be good quality, small file size. Why overdo the bitrate, when it can be hard to see the difference.

Check – Mpeg4 and h.264 in VisualHub
Check – Two pass VBR

Calculate aspect ratio. Ex. 716 x 296 pixels…
716/296=2.42 -> 320/2.42=132
Result: 320×132 pixels

Set file size within 250mb for a 700mb file.
Set sound to Auto (good sound is important)

Encode!

This should result in a file well under 250mb at a bitrate around 300kbits. Quality above artifacts and with a clear image.

A finger rule for me encoding movies and TV-series to 320×240 from 600 or 700 pixel files is: File size = 36%.

That should be enough data. Don’t forget the aspect ratio.

Happy encoding!

with SUPER you can even crop your videos to see full screen, you just need to know how much to crop, I had a link before, will post if I can find. I like Super cz I had problems with Audio/Video Sync with other conversions but that can arise from other issues like PC config/Processor usage etc.

There is another great free software called PS3Video9. A great guy named “btc” provided his tutorial few months ago but the link has changed. the following is the working link -

Hope this helps.

What setting do you use and does it give you a movie at fullscreen..?

It does take a long time and also quite hard to actually find!, but i can say it is well worth it and works great(AND looks amazing on my Nokie n95 8gb).

Any help would be appreciated
