encoding for Blackberry Pearl

[Daniel Low]

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.
