Transcoding For Cell Phone Viewing (not iphone)

[personalt]

I want to transcode some of my shows to watch on my cell phone. I see there is a Iphone setting that makes the files small but they are in MP4 format which is an apple format.

What you people without iphones transcode into?

Right now I am running a windows mobile treo but next week will have a Motorola Droid - running google android.

I do it with Sage Job Queue, running an external batch file.

This file runs FFMPEG:

ffmpeg.exe -y -i %filename%_tmp.mpg -f mp4 -s 320x240 -acodec libfaac -async 4800 -dts_delta_threshold 1 -threads 0 -vcodec libxvid -qscale 10 %filename%.mp4

My BB curve 8330 is fine with the MP4s that are created. It took a while to find these settings, so I think there is a "narrow therapeutic window", so to speak.

This seemed to work one day but is now causing me some skips but i will figure that out.


What I was wondering was on another thread you mention you snip commericals out. Do you have a command line for that? I do run comskip and have .edl files but was wondering how you were snipping the commericals out.
