Watching videos on Xperia...(WVGA)

[jahd5000]

Hi! Im about to get a Xperia and, as many of you knwo, it has a WVGA screen.
I was wondering, how can you get to play -FULLSCREEN- any video there (movies....) if most movies come in a native 4:3 resolution, and so do coverters, (VGA, xqvga...)
I was thinking, maybe if you can just convert a movie and crop the black horizontal bars that make the movie be in landscape, or is there any DVD to PPC(vga, mp4 whatever) coverter that can work with/to that resolution....

Hope answers from Xperia users who already managed to watch movies in their devices happily XD

I guess you like watching pan and scan movies

[jahd5000]

no... i mean all but that... i want to see fully wide movies, (why would i like pan and scan movies in a WVGA screen, why crop it if i can see it?)
the problem here, is that, form what ive seen, most dvd to PPC (mp4, mpeg, avi...) converters converter to a VGA res and not a to the wide res of the X1 and dont wanna see black borders to the sides...

anyways, just forget this matter, in your x1 experience, how it it to watch movies?

many converters let you convert to a screensize rather then a pocketpc setting

if you connect to a screensize you set the rules

I'm also interested in whats the best format to use for the X1 taking into account file size, screen size and codecs. I don't want 1 video to take up my whole Micro SD card when it will only play back at 24 fps.

With for instance quick time pro you can export files in 3GP-format. 400x208 or 400x224 gives smooth playback in 24 Hz.

Try AVS/Magic Video converters. Their good, quick, and you get loads of options.

I'm also interested in best quality. I'm thinking H.264 at~720x300@24FPS would be awesome. Probably around 800kbps. Sweetness if it'll work well...

720x300 at 24 Hz will almost certainly mean you will drop frames. (
