| Best format for a Nokia N800? |

| I'm going to start riding the bus next week. Yes it's almost two additional hours doing so (one hour extra each way), but the gas savings will be tremendous.
I have a Nokia N800, and am thinking that would be useful for playing my anime and captured TV shows. But I can't seem to find anything (yes, I have googled) that says what is the best format to convert to for playback on an N800. Am also trying to see how much I can fit into the two gig card I have for it, so compression with decent quality is "better" than full quality :D Anyone out there doing this who has some recommendations? Thanks in advance! |

| What format does it support? If h264 video then use it! |

| Well, the format thing is the problem I'm having. It states that it supports AVI (but not which codecs), 3GP, and MPEG-1. I know I don't want MPEG-1, and 3GP I suspect isn't much better. So I suspect AVI is the container of choice - but again, WHICH CODEC will it use? Most of the stuff I've been able to find is folks saying that it doesn't deal well with DIVX. I did find a tool called MediaConverter that was designed for the precursor to the N800 (the 770), but the files it produces only work on the N800 if I allow it to clip the frame - which is kind of bad when you're watching stuff with subtitles :)
Hopefully someone on here has an 800 or at least know what will work! |

| i think you can install some software to your N800, then it can support different video format as pc. |
