Query about a/v formats in k700i

[HellGuardian]

hey guys, i wanted to know the best format to store audio and video in k700i. i had read somewhere on A forum that 32 kbps mp4 audio is equal to 128 kbps mp3, but this is not true. i tested it and even a 48 kbps mp3 sounded better than a 48 kbps mp4 audio. what's ur opinion?

and also, in video format, usin mpegable, i converted an mpeg to mp4 and to 3gp and both seem to be equal in size(mp4 less 2 kb than 3gp) and the quality is similar(on the pc). i had set the frame rate to 30 fps, it played well on pc but on phone, there r a few jerks, though sound does not stutter. any ideas to keep the video smooth?

For computer speakers use a 96 kbps mp4 encoded with either itunes or quicktime, itr sound more like a 224 kbps mp3

for mobile phones, 64 kbps at 44.1 KHz

don't go for less then 44.1 KHz for mobile, it will sound weird

mp4 is the foundation of 3gp, it's better to convert mpg to 3gp then mp4 for mobile phones, as they can be sended as mms, every phone which can play mp4 or 3gp can play the other format too

the bitrate for mp4 depends from video to video, & don't go for 30 fps, many phones don't have enough CPU power for that, better go for 10 or 15 fps

I prefer xilisoft video convertor for these tasks

rightly said. u shud not settle for anything less than 64 kbps for music on the phone. personally, i didnt find much diff in the size of the mp3 or mp4 files, but quality differed. call this weird, but i found that songs with indian beats sound better in the mp3 format, while western songs sound better in the mp4 format (pls dont take my word for it...its just something i think!)....
i use IMTOO mpeg encoder to convert the sounds...
