Sharp 703sh video conversions

This is covered in another topic, but here it is again:

Question - How do I make my .asf, .mpg, .avi files
into .3gp that will play on my 903SH?

Answer -

Choose 3GPP + AAC General Setting
*QVGA Normal Quality 15FPS Stereo

Have fun watching movies on your cell phone!


If you want to do a quick transfer, you can use the handset manager and use the infrared transfer mode. It's slow, but it works if you don't have a usb cable.

If you do want to carry full length movies, you'll need to get yourself a miniSD card, like 512MB or 1GB

And come on.. BT? Slow as hell! You can afford a 703, but you can't afford a $15 card reader?

The 703 has a really sharp screen, not as sharp as the 903, but still, sharp enough that you won't notice the quality difference.

Sound is also good on the conversion. Imagine, you can put an entire season of curb your enthusiasm and more on 512MB.

I'd suggest you go ahead and do some conversions to see for yourself.

you're not going to get DVD quality like on your normal TV at home, but you can definitely tweak the 3gp file and of course set it to be 30fps or so. of course your file sizes will be bigger.
