Of course, you must take into account that I'm not converting HD videos here, just TV rips.

Watching HD video on a NIT is like killing a spider with a rocket launcher IMO.

On a similar note, I discovered that just converting sound to 96kbit/44K1 makes most of videos playable straight off the net in full resolution. I know this sounds like snake-oil, but it works. It might get jittery on Matrix class scenes but 850kbps 640x350 divx video (which is roughly what you will find on the net for most shows) is just fine.

Yeah, but your NTSC numbers and totololo's NTSC numbers don't differ that much. And totololo is assuming 29.97 fps. But since you're going from 29.97 to 23.98 fps, you should definitely bump up the resolution. I recommend 528x384 (just greater than 4/3). And if you're not already, I would also throw in a deinterlacing filter.

im converting @ 30fps. where did 23.98 come from?

anyway, I'm not really talking about getting *better* video quality to run. I think the way i did it looks fine, and should be good enough for most people. the whole concept of *needing* super-hq video on a nit sort of perplexes me.

I was merely sharing a decent / easy / customizable way to convert videos, because I had a moderately difficult time finding a good, free program.

Maybe my post should be in a different video conversion thread, but I figured this one was more active, so it would be seen.

///EDIT

oh, i see now about the 24fps. well that was using his parameters. when I did my conversion to the native resolution (400x240), i used 30fps.

I think I get it now. You were only referring to totololo's 24 fps wide resolution spec. I thought you were also going to change the fps. Sorry.

No prob. i also realize that this thread IS about achieving "super hq-ish" on the nit.

One definite advantage of Handbrake is the ability to set a target file size -- very handy for putting lots of movies on a card, eg., for travel.

The program comes very close to whatever you set.

Hq ? it's like beauty : in the eyes of the beholder ... it's a matter of taste.

for me 400x240 is ugly, 576x 352 is acceptable, 800x 480 would be better ...

but sometimes ... i'm an annoying guy !

Cool. You're right, and it seems that everything having to do with quality NTSC video capture (S-Video or better) always leads back to this demonstration. But obviously for the tablet, the filters would be applied on the encoding side.
