Daperl, no, you're not an idiot ... I am ... because, I don't know, maybe you need Qucktime pro to save the file ... (I have it). The sourcefile i chose was the highest quality one : 1080p HD. Re encodig a dirty video would not prove anything, i think.

GeneralAntilles, I read it, but my point in this topic is that it is possible and interesting to go beyond these guidelines ...
It says :
"Video data rate and resolution is limited to about 800Kbps and 400x240 (352x288 on the 770)."

But 640x352 works perfectly for me, and I don't believe my unit has anything special ...

So i wanted to share it !

Yes, because you're lowering the bit rate. Not trying to put you down or anything, though. If you think this is better quality, congrats! And thanks for sharing

Well, yes, for me it's better because it keeps a lot more details, even if when everything moves fast ... i can see compression artefacts due to the quite low bitrate for the resolution.

Hmm... you're right. What about http://movies.apple.com/movies/fox/i...lrn_h1080p.mov

If you use iTunes to download the trailer, the file should reside somewhere in the iTunes directory on your computer.

Edit :
I just tried 1 pass, 850Kbps and had very few stutters, so maybe 750 or 800 could do just fine.

Or maybe there is a better choice to make with 2 passes ... it would be nice to limit the bitrate of the second pass ... but i can't do that with Handbrake or VisualHub.

I tried and I tried and I tried. I can't figure it out. I'm guessing you have QuickTime Pro.
