What format to convert video for cell phone (LG Chocolate)

V Bot posted 2008 Jul 01 19:43

I want to transfer a video clip from a DVD to my LG Chocolate cell phone and would like to know what format I need to use and what programs are required. Is it AVI? I would save the clip to a memory card and then save it to the phone. For some reason I can't get my Data Cable to work. The computer recognizes it, then gives an error message. Anyone have any suggestions, I have tried 2 different Data Cables. Thanks in advance. :(

you would be better off on www.howardforums.com in the verizon or LG forums what model chocolate 8500 or one of the newer ones you want 3g2 final format, at 15 fps, and 192-240k video bit rate 64k audio, stereo for earbuds, mono for BT or the phones speaker use Super to convert the vobs, after your rip them with a ripping program try 320*240 resolution, or 240*176 with the 8500, you have to use an external card reader to transfer files to the card, put the video in the my_flix folder of the memory card, your phone does not have enough internal memory for whole movies if the your phone is newer 8600? and has usb mass storage mode in the phones menu, you must still install the drivers from the CD, and you must start the process from the phone NOT the the PC, ths is NOT PC sync. it is a card reader mode, tools & settings/tools/usb mass storage turns on the reader, it only works with a memory card, you MUST have a memory card in the phone, and plug in the cable then choose this mode
