Great piece of software. The picture quality on my P990 is excellent ! When converting a DVD the sound volume is very low though. I use the standard settings. Anyy suggestions ? sorry if this has been raised already. thanks a lot.

Hi all,

Thanks again officemaven for the donation.

jmash:

i'll have to look into what kind of codecs and bitrates the P800/P910 support. If you already know this information, you can create a P800 or P910 profile for M3 yourself, using the profiles editor on the Advanced tab.

ares:

I'll add .divx support in the next version, but so far as i know, .divx files are actually RIFF containers anyway. What does this means? You can simply rename your .divx files to .avi and they should work fine in the current version of M3, until i post the next update with .divx support.

micheluk:

The low sound for DVDs is related to dynamic volume range. When you play a DVD on the TV, your DVD player performs dynamic range compression (DRC), and this makes the loud moments quieter, and the quiet moments louder - causing the average volume to be higher than before. I'm going to add some basic DRC to M3 soon to improve the volume levels for DVD conversions.

You have to laugh at SE when you see the difference in video quality between one converted using M3 and the demo one supplied. It just goes to show to me that there are more tallented people out there with a passion for these phones than work at SE.

@Guy H
Exactly! SE should for example employ people like mysh and give them high salary and bonuses. In return we consumers would get fantastic service.

SE do care about media on their phones, and ways to improve it. They asked me to write some tutorials for their developer site, they're actually quite interested in working with people who have experience/knowledge in areas they lack. The new wiki system shows this also.

In fact if you demux the demo movies on your phone, you'll see the m4v stream is now compressed with XviD. This seems to be true of most phones produced this year. Previously demo movies were encoded with a generic mp4 implementation in some encoding software i forget the name of... "Nextreaming Corporation mpeg4 codec".

I'd presume the encoding settings on the demo movies are so low due to compatibility reasons. The demo movie is incorporated into the factory flash of the firmware, so they need to ensure it will work well, even if there are performance issues with playback within the firmware itself. You don't want a demo movie on a phone that won't play properly until the firmware is updated!

K800user:

It looks like you need the latest .net 2.0 installed, the link is on the first post in this thread.

nice post mysh and good info. thanks.

edit to ask: I've converted a few files now and the quality is superb! the file size is rather large with the default settings so I was thinking would it be an idea to start a new thread for the UIQ3 phones where people can post their settings and give feedback on conversions? It would leave this thread free for discussions on the software itself.
