DROID X: CONVERTING MOVIES FOR DROID X

With no Netflix app for the X. I want to load movies on to it. I know how to do that. But I don't know what format would be best. I use DVD Decrypter and DVD Shrink for my movies when I put them on my HDD and for burning. They work for me and are easy to use. When I do have a encryption problem, I use DVD Fab.

With a screen resolution of 854x480, I don't need to put the file on at full bit rate. It'd be a waste of space as the screen wouldn't be able to display the file at it's full resolution.

1.So,what bit rate should I down convert a movie file to?

2.Is there a program that will do it? I'm sure Shrink will. As it offers conversion rates. i.e. I can convert a file at any percentage of the original that I want. (how much though?)

3.)What kind of file format would work best for the X? ISO,MPEG-4?

4.)What bit rate equals a screen res. of 854x480

Any tips/help will be appreciated. Links to sites would be great too.

P.S. I have a iPod Touch 3rd gen.32GB, screen res.480x320. I would like to put movies on it too. Any ideas of how? The same questions apply as they did to the Droid X.

You can resolve all questions with one app..... "DVD Catalyst" it does optimized Droid X videes and also support iPhone and iPad by just selecting the device model number from a drop down list and click go. Get it from http://www.tools4movies.com/

There is an app called rockplayer that will play almost any format video. If you can't find it in the market, google it.

I believe they want a application to convert the video files, not a player, so I dont think Rockplayer will help wth what they are tring to do.

I know, it was just an alternate suggestion.
