  Zaurus MPEG-1 and MPEG-2 Encoding How-to By Usman Afzal

MPEG-1:
Download the TMPGEnc Encoder Version 2.57 and VFAPI plug-in for TMPGEnc www.tmpgenc.com/

Download the Quicktime reader plug-in for TMPGEnc http://www.dawnload.net/plug-ins/other_plug-ins/qtreader.cfm

Open up the encoder.

Click on the Browse button next to Video source and open up the file that you want to encode. Note the destination file name.

Click on the Settings tab at the bottom right of the window.

Apply the following settings under the video tab:

	Video Stream = MPEG-1 Video 
	Size = 320 x 240 
	Aspect Ratio = 1:1 (VGA) 
	Frame Rate = 60 fps 
	Rate Control Mode = 2-pass VBR(VBR) 
	Motion Search Precision = Normal 

Click on the settings button next to Rate Control Mode and apply the following setting and then hit OK.

	Average Bitrate = 400 
	Maximum Bitrate = 500 
	Minimum Bitrate = 350 
	Max pass = 2-pass (Old type) 

Go to the Audio tab and apply these changes and then hit OK.

	Stream Type = MPEG-1 Audio Layer II 
	Sampling Frequency = 44100 HZ 
	Channel Mode = Stereo 
	Bitrate = 64 kbits/sec 

Close the setting window by clicking on the OK button.

Click on the Start button at the top left corner and wait till it gets to 100%.

Once the entire file has been encoded, transfer the file onto your Zaurus using either Intellisync or Qtopia Desktop.
