John, I don't know the tech specs on the Treo's (650, in my case) A/V processing capabilities, but I can tell you what my subjective opinions are:
As for audio, the Treo 650 can reproduce very little well through its external speaker, but its headphone jack seems fully able to convey quality improvements clear up through 128kbps stereo (I, personally, can't hear much improvement above that, so that's all I'll claim). However, to save space, and since most video sources don't have audio that *needs* to be at that high a bitrate to still give me a good experience, I generally use 80Kbps stereo @ 44KHz -- I have never found that lacking in supporting the "very small-screen" experience. As for video, if I'm converting a DVD, I convert to XviD, use a framerate of 24 fps at 320x240 resolution and a data rate in the range of 50-80 Kbps. That will put a very nice-quality (i.e., no significant compression artifacts) on my Treo 650's screen and most movies will fit in 400MB. HTH. - Craig On 4/17/06, John C Bullas <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hi! > > I'm using Goldwave and FairUse Wizard 2.4 for encoding audio to MP3 > and DVD to AVI respectively > > Could someone tell me the optimum audio and video resolutions to use > above which > any improvement is lost - no sense in 12hz - 44khz if the audio > output stage only handles 50hz-32khz :) > > Regards > > FB > > > -- > =========================================================== > Please preserve the subject line in your reply to this email to > assist in its archiving > > John C Bullas / SOUTHAMPTON / UNITED KINGDOM > > Website: http://www.soton.ac.uk/~johnb/ > Research gallery: http://www.flickr.com/photos/johnbullas/sets/563336/ > > Minuit rock harder!: http://www.amplifier.co.nz/video/7529/species_ii.html > =========================================================== > > > > > [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] > > > > > Yahoo!
