Thanks

Lower frame rates->higher quality, however, reducing the frame rate may affect the smoothness of the playback.
But, if you change frame rate, you can have video and audio out of sync.
If you have sync problems, my suggestion is to not change frame rate (leave the box unchecked) and use mplayer instead of built in media player.
Two pass encoding give you a more efficient encode when comparing to one pass but it usually takes at least double the time as the one pass.
I've been tinkering with this a bit more lately and find that there are actually two versions of the media converter that I've managed to download. Both work fine for the N800 but I've not been able to find the setting in either one to 'Optimize' (crop) the image for a full screen 'effect'. I've checked the box, but the outcome is still letterboxed.
So, what's the consensus (if any) about which converter/setting is best for the high-quality, full screen effect I'm looking for? I've got the time (overnite) for the 2-pass conversion, but if it doubles the size of the file, it wouldn't be worth it to me, alas.

I am working on the next version (will be ready saturday or sunday, or at the beginning of the next week, i have make some tests).
I have added some new features in the crop section (fit width, height, no crop, and free crop: left, right, top and bottom) and to the size section (400x240, 400x224, original size and custom size), and some improvements in the podcasts section.

However I have tested some videos at 640x360 (784kbps) that plays very well with the new version of mplayer.
The free crop, i think, is more useful.

Hi,
if someone wants try there is a beta version of N800 Video Converter 0.8.4.1.
http://xoomer.alice.it/sepaolo/n800vc/#downloads
For now is not a official version
(no istructions yet).
- Free Crop and Size
- A "little" editing tool (to add start/end limits of a file)
- DailyMotion files support
- AutoSort of Podcasts Feeds (when you add a new Podcast to List).
- Is less restrictive with Youtube Files (less 'Bad URL' errors).

Not all my DVDs have audio track 1 as the english track.
Is there a way to select another track when converting vob files?
Thanks for the fine program.
