You all, NZ90eers : Video File Size ?!

[donnici]

Mates, from all over the world:
(hehehe)

Converting a MPEG Music VideoClip of 40 MB (3:10 min), and converting to the Clie nz90 fullscreen size, and about 96kbps mp3 audio, would take how many MBs on a MemoryStick ?

What about a 210 MB Simpson's Episode ?

All in Full Screen NZ90 size ?

Can we try to biuld a comparisson table for each format, mqv and mpg ???

Those question will helmp me out when choosing a 512 or 256 MS PRO.

CHEERS !

If stick capacity is an issue (I got the 1GIG stick so it's not for me - hehe) then mqv is your best bet as it has one of the best compression ratios (210MB simpson's episode can be compressed to 100MB). This does not compromise the movie quality.

I use "normal" mode when compressing my 210 MB simpsons episodes, and they are all 41-45 MB..

[Sony-kuri]

Ummm... sorry to ask you guys a really dumb question but where can I get these Simpsons episodes from? And once I have them, how do I transfer them???

[SnipeAlot]

You buy a VHS or DvD of some episodes, rip the episodes, then use the Importer.

[sony-kuri]

Ok, I thought maybe there was some other way. So if I take one episode of the Simpsons I'm guessing it'll be around 120 MB then right? And if I transfer it to my Clie using importer, does it decrease the size in any way?

[donnici]

Of course not !
the 210 mb TVrip will get SMALLER !

hum

As I said, my Simpsons episodes are 200 MB+ on my computer. When I use the Importer to make them into the CliePlayer format, the quality gets a tad worse(but very nice quality nevertheless) and the size is around 45 MB..

[donnici]

Then...

I think I'll buy a 512 MS !

For the videos, apps and MP3s !

Donnici

Thanks all

[sony-kuri]

Oops... i didn't mean 120... I meant 210!!

And I do believe the word decrease does mean "SMALLER"

But thanks for your help anyway!

The smartes thing to do is probably to use the CF-driver and buy a 1 GB CF-Card..

[YOGackt]

Donnici, for the price of a 512 MS, wouldn't it be cheaper to get a 1GB CF? Unless you know of way to get some cheap MSs :)

YO

[donnici]

I thought of about the CF.

I can get a 512 MS for $ 226
Also a CF for almost the same price (which brand is the fastest?)

But, I read that the MS is FASTER, and more reliable than the CF.

Issues that I have read about the CF:

-Large videos keeps skipping while playing.
-doesn't works with movie recorder
-Slow mp3 playing
-unstable during apps loading and some other issues.

So, this Eruware driver doesn't puts the CF side-by-side to a MS !

So ?

Any ideias ?

Aprecciating your help, guys....

Thanks !

I see. Have been thinking about getting eithe a bigger MS or the CF. People using the CF, have you run into these problems? Anyone know if they coming out with better drivers?

YO

[SnipeAlot]

A newer driver is coming out tomorrow I think.. I am very happy with my 256 CF Card, VSFMark(yes I know it is faulty) gives my MS and CF card the same scores(5 mark difference). If you get a MS Pro however, that is faster than CF and MS.. yes movierecording doesn't work, but I think that is expected to be fixed tomorrow.. I currently use the CF card for launching programs, and storing large files.. Very convenient.
