THANKS!
These are great tools.
I went to install the Linux apps (avidemux and transcode) but ran into an imcompatibility issue with libvorbis0 vs. libvorbis0a.
I converted this one
640x480 fps 30.072 XVID 8323072k
down to
320x240 fps 15 DX50 mp3 56k 1972224k
Here it is if anyone needs a test... I'll leave it up for a while, but not forever
Sample Movie (1.97mb)
It plays well in portrait and landscape, but starts to chug when scaled. I tried just converting it down to a lower fps, etc but at 640x480, but it was still choppy. I even took it down to 6fps, at which point the chop was similar to on a desktop machine.
Converting the torrent file now with same settings.
I don't know much about all these videodub options, so any advice to improve performance would be appreciated.
In the meantime, I'll keep trying different options and report back with success stories/settings.
(I'll probably keep using torrent downloads as they start out with real nice quality).
