I now love the sharpness of my converted DVDs on my N800 '07 Mplayer .

I tried the "hi-quality" 640x384 option in Media Converter - Including the audio and color gain options. The results make the Archos and Zune screens look like Coleco Vision!
(Dang, the N800 looks so good it's too bad there's no video out! )

Only problem is the sputtery 14 frame per second rate just doesn't cut it for all but the basic talking heads shots.

I copied over the identical settings to Super video converter, but set the frame rate at it's 23-something fps.

The results look GREAT and the motion is quite acceptable in all but perhaps the most busy scenes. This surprises me, since '07 is not overclocking my processor, so it's a very nice compromise.

The only thing is, while MC's "enhanced color" option (while nice) isn't so missed as the "audio gain" one. The audio is really, really low in comparison.

Since my experience leads me to believe that Media Converter is only allowing a very conservative frame-rate in hi-res...

is there some hack to tweak the fps rate up?

OR

Is there any way to pump up the volume/gain in Super?

(nothing about Super audio gain comes up in Google and I twiddled with the various bit rates w/ no volume increase).
