Blackberry Format?

What format/codec do I need to compress my videos for blackberry's that play video? Also what resolution, frame rate and bit-rate?

Any tips on ways to get a better image on a blackberry like having a higher resolution or software that makes really good compressions tailored for blackberrys?

Any other pointers would be greatly appreciated.
 
I use MPEG streamclip. It works perfectly and you can even compress DVDs for your blackberry. And it's free.

Here's my settings. A few months ago I experimented and found my recipe for quality versus space. On a blackberry Curve these settings should look pristine and play perfectly.

16X9 settings.

4X3 settings.

Great! I am on PC and I don't think MPEG streamclip has quit the same functionality on PC but these settings are very helpul. Few questions:

1. Why upperfield..wouldn't it be proggressive?

2. Can the blackberry play a higher frame rate than 15 maybe 30? (but not 29.97 right?)

I will defintly try a few different variations including this one and see what comes out best. Thanks again!
 
Jockomo, that sounds like exactly what I need.

Edit: Turns out that Device central doesn't have any profiles for blackberrys since blackberry doesn't support flash lite content. I will try MPEG Streamclip on PC and hope it can handle it.

The above settings didn't work for me. I have an 8830 and the technique above produced great video, but no sound. After experimenting with MPEG Streamclip further (version 1.9.1 on the Mac), I was successful in getting great video and audio using the 3G setting in "Export to Other Formats...". Screen shot below:

Be sure to also click on the Options button in the upper right hand corner and set Image Size to "320 x 240 QVGA".

Works like a charm. Also attached in case the image above doesn't appear.
