Hey All,
I've been busy converting DVDs to play on the X10 and have run into a couple of snags which I hope you can help with, as I am an Android neophyte.
I'm using Mediascape to view my vids on my morning commute on the Tube in London. The first oddity is that Mediascape doesn't have any settings to scale a vid to fit to full screen. So I've been mucking about trying to get the best out of the screen. So far the best effort seems to be:
Resolution: 740 X 480
Bitrate: 1500 bps
Framrate: Same as source.
Formate: Am still testing this, but the wide screen doesn't like the 16:9 ratio, only using a small portion of the screen to display videos. Perhaps I'm encoding vids wrong, but I didn't have this problem on the Samsung i8910 (which had lower screen resolution and supported DivX natively). Actually the i8910 played every thing I threw at it perfectly, usually in full in screen.
If I could find a way to encode vids to use the ENTIRE screen real-estate on the X10 it would be awesome!
Anyone have any ideas for better players for Android?
