I have NEVER encode/convert video for my tablet. They just play fine. If not, I will look for another copy.

And if you're not already, I would also throw in a deinterlacing filter.
Of course, you must take into account that I'm not converting HD videos here, just TV rips.
Watching HD video on a NIT is like killing a spider with a rocket launcher IMO.

anyway, I'm not really talking about getting *better* video quality to run. I think the way i did it looks fine, and should be good enough for most people. the whole concept of *needing* super-hq video on a nit sort of perplexes me.
I was merely sharing a decent / easy / customizable way to convert videos, because I had a moderately difficult time finding a good, free program.
Maybe my post should be in a different video conversion thread, but I figured this one was more active, so it would be seen.
///EDIT
oh, i see now about the 24fps. well that was using his parameters. when I did my conversion to the native resolution (400x240), i used 30fps.

One definite advantage of Handbrake is the ability to set a target file size -- very handy for putting lots of movies on a card, eg., for travel.
The program comes very close to whatever you set.

Hq ? it's like beauty : in the eyes of the beholder ... it's a matter of taste.
for me 400x240 is ugly, 576x 352 is acceptable, 800x 480 would be better ...
but sometimes ... i'm an annoying guy !
