Convert Videos to play on your MDA

For the longest time I was having problems with my movies and other videos skipping frames on my device (especially the hi quality ones). Then I found a program called PocketDivXEncoder and the latest free version can be downloaded from The Creators Website.

What the program does is reincode your videos to be played on a mobile device.

When you unzip and run the program it will ask you what type of device you are using, I have found that the "PDA" device works best.

Once in the program go to "File to encode" and select the video (and subtitle file) you want to encode to play on your device. Next you can specify a location for the new file to be saved to or leave it as the default location (same folder as the original).

Now you can set the Video & audio quality, as well as brightness, contrast, saturation & sound levels. Also you can change the "output dimensions" to set the screen resolution but I would recommend leavening it the way it is because the program is pretty good at getting the best fit for that video on your device.

From here you can click on "Encode Now" to encode the video selected, or "Add to the list" to add it to a list of Videos to be encoded together.

Once finished your new video will be ready to be transfer to your device.

For playing the converted video files the creator of the program and myself recommend TCPMP - The Core Pocket Media Player.

The creator is also working with a company called Omniquiti, to develop a new and greatly improved version of PocketDivXEncoder which is now called Lathe that can be downloaded fromhttp://www.omniquiti.com for $5.95 USD
