Watching Video Content

Aug 16, 2006, 11:14 AM

I haven't gotten the phone yet, I'm picking it up this weekend. But if I want to watch TV on my phone, what video format is best to use? I know I can make an AVI file and I'm sure that would work. But they are pretty large. What compression could I use that this phone would accept and how would I convert the AVI to that format?

Man I'm pumped about this. I have TiVo that is connected to my PC (via LAN) and I can download the TiVo data and convert it to AVI. So I can automatically have all my shows downloaded to my PC and just copy them onto and off of my phone. I get to watch shows on the train to and from work!

This is nuts! I love it!

AVI is more a wrapper than a format. The phone supports mp4 and 3gp, and the latter, I think, makes for smaller files. You may want to do a Google search on "Tivo conversion to 3gp"...
