Blackberry Curve Video
I have successfully converted and played video on a Blackberry Curve from a Mac. For future reference, and for others seeking the same end-goal, here are the details.
DVD
Using Handbrake, I used the following options to RIP a DVD. Stolen from the handbrake forum.
Format: MP4
Codec: MPEG-4 Video/AAC Audio
Frame rate: 15fps
Encoder: FFMpeg
Frame rate: 15fps
Quality: Avg Bitrate 1500 kpbs
Chapter markers unchecked
Output: 320 x XXX (BB screen size is 320×240 so if you keep aspect ratio just set the first # to 320 and the second will default)
Tivo
Using TivoDecode Manager, I used the following settings to grab the content from my Tivo:
Download Format: Quicktime MPEG-4 (iPod)
After the content downloads to your desktop, use menucoder and the workflow listed here. I recommend updating the “Encode for Blackberry” worfklow script so it outputs the video in “320xXXX” format. Look for this string:
mencoder -vf scale=240:-10
and change it to:
mencoder -vf scale=320:-10
