The reason why I stopped using 128 kbs, is probably more psychological than anything else.

Having a bit rate that low somehow began to feel "dirty" to me.

I guess it's a little silly of me to only have 320 kbps songs now because I've also heard of similar studies.

Anyway, my video settings probably tops anyone else using an older, Maemo 4 tablet.

For normal videos and movies:

640x360
.avi (Xvid)
25 fps
900 bit rate
44,100 hertz
128 kbps

For cartoons:
720X480
.avi (Xvid)
15 fps
900 bit rate
22,050 hertz
128 kbps

Both need to be used with Mplayer, the stock Media Player can't handle them.

It's also wise to shut down all apps and go into flight mode.

Also, try this for a YouTube video:

Find one that has 360p (.mp4).

Go here:

Select .avi (Xvid) and crank it up to 768 kbps.

Continue.

Save.

Download.

Play it on Mplayer with everything else closed down.

Not too bad looking on a 6 year old tablet.
