How do I convert video clips for my BlackBerry?

QI want to convert some video clips on my PC to play on my BlackBerry 8800. I have a program that converts files to different video formats, but what format and conversion settings are best for watching the clips on aBlackBerry?




A The optimal video settings for the BlackBerry 8800, according to its manufacturer, Research in Motion, are clips in MPEG-4 format and saved with the AVI file extension. In the full-screen 4:3 mode, clips should have a screen resolution of 240 pixels by 180 pixels, while widescreen clips in the 16:9 ratio should have a resolution of 320 pixels by 180 pixels. Set the video bit rate to 400 kilobits a second and the frames-per-second rate to 24.




BlackBerrys running Version 4.2.1 of the BlackBerry Device Software can also play clips in the Windows Media Video format. A full list of supported audio and video formats for the BlackBerry 8100, 8300 and 8800 models is at snipurl.com/3my40. The page also has instructions for converting (called transcoding) multimedia files for the BlackBerry.
