Recommendation Please.... How to get Pictures & Movies to shrink to QVGA/TitanSize?
 

Seems like an oxymoron, trying to get things to shrink to a smaller Titan size...
I was just curious if anyone has recommendations on a converter that will take large movie files and shrink the file size down to something a little more appropriate for this phone. Maybe convert pictures as well, but not as relevant.

There are a bunch of progs out there to convert video formats to smaller size. Not sure how fast they are or how good they work but they are probably pretty decent. I use windows movie maker. Just import the video, drop it to the timeline, and save as movie file. It gives you different size options, one of which is pocket pc with a 320 x 240. Works fine for me.

For converting pictures, there is a very nice tool by microsoft. You can find it here: http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/d...powertoys.mspx

For videos, I use a program called DeskShare Digital Media Converter. It is very nice because it has a PPC profile with the screen size, FPS, and bitrate.

Handbrake is the bomb.

Excellent, thank you for these recommendations...

I'm going to use the Microsoft MovieMaker for a bit then try the others if needed.
Oddly enough, the MovieMaker software has the worst review I think I've ever seen, yet still has nearly 4 million downloads on that same review page:

I've used it before for other things without a problem, so I'll see if it works well for this conversion.

SPB Pocket DVD is a good program.

Handbrake
 

try this it pretty fast and it converts DVD's (most) to MP4 with good resolution

Search, Search, then ask

hey itsall shut up with the search crap. It's people like you that kill web forums. Just about every question imaginable has been answered somewhere...and without questions here then only idle chatter will ensue until nothing else remains.
If you don't like a question for whatever reason then it would serve you well to just ignore it.
