Hello All-
Didn't see this anywhere so I thought I'd share that Handbrake (popular video conversion tool) was updated on 19.02.08 to version 0.9.2 with new features. http://handbrake.fr/

I guess Tiger users are going to be left behind.

Time to try out new settings to actually get handbrake to encode a working video

After much trial and error I've got it working very nicely. I will be happy to post my settings either in text or screenshots if desired.

I used the GUI interface, but here's the main points (for non-copyrighted media of course). I must thank Urho Konttori, whose Media Converter settings I kind of used as a baseline.
Encoder = Xvid
Sound = MP3
Save As = .avi file type
Specify (only):
Width = 480 (I let the program auto determine height)
2 pass encoding
Avg. Video Bitrate = 700 kbps
Framerate = 18 fps
Sound = 64 kbps / 44.1kHz
Compression = 3 ("louder")

The final product plays very nicely in MPlayer, and yields about an 85% reduction in size. Conversion ain't fast but it works!

Canola Playback - I just noticed that with the above width-only specification the aspect ratio is forced at full screen in Canola and does not look right. Video plays correctly from mplayer directly (or KMplayer), but needs different (probably specified height) to play correctly at full-screen in Canola.
