I just realised, 272 would be the height for a 2.35 or 2.40 Aspect Ratio DVD given a width of 640 - what was the Aspect Ratio on that DVD ?

I was only using a Width of 640 to keep the file size down...... my eyes couldn't perceive a difference in the quality on a 1.78 AR source between files encoded at 800x448 and 640x368 (presumably scaled back up by the N900 and displayed as 800x448), hence I was going with 640 to minimise the file size. I haven't noticed any playback problems.


For a 2.35 Aspect Ratio video, I presume the N900 will display it as 800x352 with letterboxing. You could encode at 800x352 or again, for smaller file size, you could use 640x272. I suspect my poor eyes probably won't be able to perceive the difference.
