Could this even be done? (palm video question)

[panterajake]

greetings,

i recently got myself a palm m125 and have been toying with it for 11 days straight....i downloaded a prog on my computer that will turn movie clips into pda-compatible files to be seen in the veiwer.....i also have a large collection of subtitled 22-30 min clips of movies (mainly anime)and i was wondering if there could be ANY prep-work that i could do on these files before having them converted? i already disabled the sound in the encoding and that brought it down quite a bit and have set the constant bitrate to 2-3 kps....my knowledge of TMPGEnc is not thorough and with the most superficial settings i have been able to acquire a 45 sec. clip under 2mb (damn screen is so small so its just like watching it proportional to a monitor or 32 inch screen at 2100 kps)........im getting a 16 mb expansion card soon so if that makes more room for tinkering please take that into consideration. this is probably, as of now, a very unfeasable task, but on the train or during study halls it could prove a little distraction from boredom......im willing to attempt anything thrown in my direction

many thanks

Hmmmm, can't imagine what kind of resolution you would need to make 2-3Kbps look good! 48x32 maybe...probably pushing it! Bitrate is going to be the determining factor, no matter what the medium.

By my calculations, if you want to fit 30min. of video (no audio) into 16MB, your bitrate can be no greater than 81Kbps!!!
