like other guy said just because they don't have a HD out put so don't want to waist my time plus they'll take really long time to encode the movie ..I'm using blu ray source ..

xvid is a lot easier on the system than h264 but your trading off that ease of processing for a older inferior codec.

That 5500kb/s is probably only equal to 1200kb/s H264 and your file size is going to be larger. When your looking at less than 64gb of space to use I think the space really matters and once you encode it just one time you have it for life so I think the extra 20 minutes or so to encode is worth it as its an investment.

You can just start the encoding and go do something else, no need to sit and watch it.

@all

Thanks for the feedback and the leads. I will start testing as soon as I "finaly" will get my N900.

How do you know? h.264 (right profile, read wiki) decoding is hw assisted.

How can you not know H264 > Xvid

its evolution of codecs H264 is new & better and Xvid is old.

But due to the fact Xvid is older it ran on older hardware so it has lesser system requirement to run than H264.

But I dont understand what your trying to say to me anyways?

oh. Still bit tired. Sorry. I read for some reason that you stated that limit for h.264 is 1200 kb/s. Sorry for that.
