Does this include instructions on how to crop it correctly? I am doing a 4:3 atm, but I am not sure if it's going to be stretched or not. I'll make good use of the instructables if ya post them

I'll check on the progress of 4:3 aspect in the morning. The OP on tmonews is my brother and I asked him for padding calculation to view TV shows. I'l keep you updated.

Those settings look right. I'll also test it out in the morning and transfer to the phone during lunch. If its good, I'll update the original post. Nice find!

everytime i try to use super c i get an error eventually and the video never finishes converting. i'm beginning to think my computer just wont run it . the program spits out the message about not having the right specifications for the program to run blah blah blah...

anyway is there another free program out there that will convert and fix the stretching problem?? i hate the stupid stretching on the video player.

Has anyone tried this:

I used to use it to convert videos to my PSP and it seems to have a profile for the iPod.

Likewise, I use Nokia Internet Tablet Video Converter (available as a free download from Nokia.com) to convert my movies to MP4 that works on my N800. I will try to copy a movie from the N800 to the G1 later this evening and let you guys know how it goes.

This may be asking too much, but I have recorded programs that were shot in widescreen but displayed in fullscreen with the black bars (top & bottom). Is there a way to cut out the black bars from the video so it has better ratio on the G1?

In all my years of tinkering about with encoding videos for multiple devices (PSP, iPod, iPhone, Nokia E51, SE P990i, Nokia N800 Internet Tablet, Nokia E61), I have yet to come across an application that could do this if the bar bars are in the video itself. That would require video editing, not something that most people would do / want to do. It's time-consuming and system-intensive and has little in the way of returns.

I figured it was a long shot, but worth knowing.
