  encoding for Blackberry Pearl

  Posted by Scott Davis on July 17, 2008 at 12:55 pm

  Does anyone have a recipe for encoding movie files for the Blackberry Pearl? Dimension, codec, bit rate, etc?

  Thanks in advance,

  Scott

  The following Video formats are supported:

  * MPEG-4 Part 2 – Simple Profile + bvops (including DivX files in this format)
  * H.263 Profile 0 and Profile 3

  The following Video file extensions are also supported:

  * .avi containing MPEG4 Part 2 and H.263
  * .mov containing MPEG4 Part 2 and H.263
  * .3gp containing MPEG4 Part 2 and H.263
  * .mp4 containing MPEG4 Part 2 and H.263
  * .m4v containing MPEG4 Part 2 and H.263
  * .mpg containing MPEG4 Part 2 and H.263

  MPEG-4 is obviously better than H.263

  According to Blackberry themselves these are the transcode settings:

  Video format: MPEG-4

  Video file extension: .AVI

  Resolution (4:3): 240×180

  Resolution (16:9): 240×135

  Video bitrate: 400 kbps

  Frames per second: 24

  Audio format: MP3

  Audio bitrate: 128 kbps

  Sample rate: 44 khz

  Channels: 2 (Stereo)

  I’d suggest you can at increase the bitrate and frame rate if needed.
