large displays and their own hard disk or a very large flash card memory (in
GB).
File format: Mostly DivX AVI or WMV (Windows Media Video) are used.
While WMV is its own format, AVI is a so-called container format. This
means that the actual file format is set via the medium's codec (view page
339).
In addition to the AVI format, you will also have to set up a codec that your
mobile device supports when exporting AVI files.
A much-used codec for AVI is the DivX codec. This is supported by a large
number of portable video players. Specific standards have been set up
between the codec manufacturer DivX and the device manufacturers
(profiles) that a certified DivX device has to fulfill.
Unlike Windows Media or MPEG4, a separate audio codec (ACM codec) is
required for the sound in order to encode the sound track in the same high
compression at acceptable quality. Select the codec you wish to use for the
sound under Audio compression. MP3 56kBps is used as a preset. For
improved sound quality, you should read your device manual to find out
which sound formats AVI audio still supports and, if required, install further
ACM codecs from the Internet.

esolution: Video players can handle almost every resolution up to TV
resolution (720x576), as most models can display your video picture in TV
resolution via an analog TV output. For the optimum picture quality on the
device display (if you do not wish to use the TV output) use the resolution
that the device can display.
Frame rate: Picture repeat rate, i. e. the number of frames per second (fps).
This isn't problematic, since the frame rate of the output material is used.
Warning: Sony PSP and Apple iPod video only play movies when they are
copied with a specific name into a pre-defined target folder. Always copy
movies for these devices from the export dialog along with the
corresponding presets (at the top of the "Preset" list and at the bottom
beside "Play after export").
