Walkman H.264 avc Video Encoding Tips:)

[frimframsauce]

since i had to bash my head against the desk a bit to get this to work i figured i might save some people from that trouble...

heres what i know.. so far

To get h.264 encoding to work in Handbrake paste "level=13:bframes=0:cabac=0" without the quotes.
into the the advanced tab
the rest of the settings are pretty normal. 320x240 and lc aac audio. with video compression so good you can give it good quality audio bitrate without a big file size.

for encoding other files mediacoder works
set the level to 1.3, b-frames =0 predictor frames =0
in "advanced" b-frames used as for prediction = false
use cabac=false
neroencoder for lc aac audio. file format is m4v or mp4
i use quality based mode at 50 and the bitrates are quite low with good quality, but just fiddle around to see what works for you.

after that one can get away with pretty low bitrates knocks about an hour or two of battery life off the playback for h264 though
