Converting movies for Hero playback?

**roakes** · 08-03-2009, 07:49 AM

Hi,

Can anyone recommend a good free tool to convert divx/xvid files to mp4 format for playback on the Hero and I assume reduce the resolution too to the Hero's maximum res thus reducing the file size of the converted movie?

Thanks

Should be the same software that works for G1/Magic/Mytouch etc as the screens are the same resolution

JFYI you can also use any Ipod/Iphone software you like to convert your movies. Or download ones already converted to Ipod/Iphone, works perfectly on my Magic.

This is what I've been doing. I'm a Linux user and thought I could user VLC to convert files but it didn't want to read them.
