Convert DVD (VTS files) to play on N97 using MPEG Streamclip (MAC)

I have used settings such as:

 

mpg4, 800kbps, 640x360, aac audio @ 128kbps. The most ive got on the n97 is audio playing with strange long streakey lines as the video.

 

Mpeg streamclip is a free download. Please can anyone help? Also, is there another way to compress VTS files to use on n97. Using Quicktime pro, i can set the 'Baseline profile' in mp4 settings, which i believe makes a difference so maybe i should export as mpg2 in streamclip, and export in QTP

Note: I can export it as a 3gp file - but this is bigger file size than mpg4.

Re: Convert DVD (VTS files) to play on N97 using MPEG Streamclip (MAC)

I'm not familar with VTS files or Streamclip so it's difficult to know what could be the problem.

 

MPEG-4 files should be fairly compatible, the problem is if you use AVC (H264) codecs then it doesn't work.

 

There are a number of video converters for Mac.

 

Some more details about the converted file would help.

 

Like:Container type

Framerate

Codec level

etc.

 

Also is the source interleaved or progressive and how are you setting the conversion. 

 


640K Should be enough for everybody

You can also try Handbrake on the Mac.
