Just as an end-note for this thread, I just tested the newest version of tablet-encode.

My verdict: Excellent!

Thanks, Andrew

FWIW, the latest version which Jeff mentions has now been properly released:

Small 'bug': If the resolution of the movie is smaller than that of the preset, it gets upscaled.

Good point, it won't do this if the source is DivX or similar; but the same should be done for other input formats as well.

That may help on the Nokia 800 or later, but changing from DIVX stops it working in the nokia media player on my 770.

There is a bug on the maemo garage site
[#1900] tablet-encode produces videos unplayable on a 770 (audio codec not supported)

I modified tablet-encode, and changed back to DIVX. And files now work, however best doesn't work in Nokia player (maybe only mplayer not yet checked)

Wierd that changing the fourcc, gives a audio codec error in 770's nokia media player!

Any chance of a 770 option in tablet encode Andrew?

Yep, 2.18 is under development and adds a '--770' option for a 770-compatible FOURCC, brings back a very high spec profile for mplayer and will (when it's finished) have the ability to read additional profiles from your home directory.

More info can be seen in the Subversion commit log:

Thanks Andrew,

I've been using 770-encode (v1.35) for a while. I noticed the bitrates have increased with tablet-encoder for presets with the same name. Are they now optimized for the 800/810?

The "best" preset in tablet-encoder won't play on nokia media player on 770 due to too high a resolution.

Would it be better to readjust the presets to lower values when the --770 is used?

Heres a comparison using grep...

tablet-encode: smallest => { abitrate => 32, vbitrate => 80, width => 240 },
tablet-encode: small => { abitrate => 96, vbitrate => 150, width => 240 },
tablet-encode: average => { abitrate => 128, vbitrate => 350, width => 320, fps => 30 },
tablet-encode: good => { abitrate => 160, vbitrate => 600, width => 352, fps => 30 },
tablet-encode: best => { abitrate => 192, vbitrate => 768, width => 400, height => 240, fps => 30 },
770-encode.pl: smallest => { abitrate => 32, vbitrate => 80, width => 240 },
770-encode.pl: small => { abitrate => 96, vbitrate => 96, width => 240 },
770-encode.pl: average => { abitrate => 96, vbitrate => 200, width => 320 },
770-encode.pl: good => { abitrate => 128, vbitrate => 240, width => 320 },
770-encode.pl: best => { abitrate => 128, vbitrate => 400, width => 352, fps => 25 },
770-encode.pl: mplayer => { abitrate => 128, vbitrate => 420, width => 400, height => 240, fps => 30 },

They're certainly pushed as high as they can be. v2.18 re-introduces the "mplayer" preset which really pushes the envelope (and has a higher bitrate than most TV episodes you can find on the *cough* Internet).

I'm not particularly keen on having two sets of presets. I may have anything above "average" raise a warning if --770 is set; but v2.18 allows you to define your own presets in ~/.tablet-encode.conf - or even change the ones that are present.

fair enough. The current "good" preset plays on the 770, its just "best" that won't work on nokia player, well prehaps it does using mplayer on 770, I've not checked since the version of mplayer I have on my 770 crashes most of the time.

Wishlist: Does/Will the configuration file offer a way to set the 770 mode permenently? And prehaps a way to set default preset. I can modify the script myself, but I guess other may like the features also.

Thanks for 770-encode/tablet-encode it has been fanastic for long train journeys!

OK, current Subversion version outputs a warning if the video bitrate is too high and 770-compatibility mode is enabled.

Yes to both :-)
