Another alternative:

My small GP2X Video Converter:

Converted movies/videos are perfectly playable on Dingoo.

btw. dont let this screen fool you, its windows app, not gp2x app

Update....

I downloaded a older handbrake ver 0.93 that has Xvid/AVI support.

I converted a video 624X352 to Xvid/AVI MP3 Audio 312X176 VBR 300, 128ABR file = 73MB

did same again but with MPEG4/MP4 and ACCC Audio 312X176 VBR 300, 128ABR file = 71MB

Both videos look near identical on Pc even when zoomed to 200%

The AVI took more time than the MP4, so i guess the smaller size 3% saving, and faster encode 25% faster maybe the MP4 format is best used for fast results.

I am going to try mess about with a 200VBR and 96ABR that should output about a 50MB File which is going to be good enough for Dingoo

For my Dingoo (native OS) I use this: http://www.any-video-converter.com/download-avc-free.php
I use MPEG-II codec with this settings: resolution: 720x480, 1800 bitrate, audio codec: [email protected] 384 kbps and sample rate 44100. For me it's ideal.

That will result in video files that are really very very extremely large. Use Avidemux (Linux) or flaskmpeg/Virtualbub (Windows) to reate an AVI => [email protected] kbps + [email protected] kbps.

A 2 minutes and 30 seconds video occupies 40 MB, which seams resonable for me .

I think he may be joking 

I took your advice, and indeed cartons like the The Cleveland Show when halved the resolution, with VBR 200, and ABR of 96 still look good on the Dingoo and saves space 48MB instead of 175MB that means all 21 season 1 episodes will only take up about 1GB space  and only take 1:40 secs to re-encode with Handbrake

So thanks for that advice Jesse Top Bloke

Well i have been messing about now with settings for a bit in Handbrake.

And found if i set the resolution to match within 320X240 with Audio Bitrate of 96-112 and set program to reduce files size to between 50-60% of Original file for most Movies/TV

If the Programs are Cartoons, especially simple ones like Family Guy/South Park then set Handbrake to output file size to say 30-40% of Original i get good results.

I have got South Parks and Family Guys looking good at a file size of 50-60MB each (i can get about 140 on a 8GB SD Card), Most movies i shrink to 400MB and so can get 19-20 on a 8GB SD Card.

Yeah i know what you mean as far as whats best to make a video, i.e if you was ripping a DVD.

I was just saying that because the Dingoo does not support 32bit colour and only has a 320X240 Screen, videos you could play a Video at 640X and a re-encoded version at 320X and on the Dingoo you dont notice the difference really.

The only difference is when you change the video bitrate, which i do purely because on such a small screen a video with 900 VBR vs one with 300VBR is not that far off, compared to the saving in file size.

So i only use Handbrake purely to quickly change videos to a smaller screen size/bitrate so as to save 50% or more on the file size. I also find it good to use for re-encoding videos to MP4 for Mobile Phones or PSP's that do not play native DivX/Xvid.

And i get the whole purpose of my original post a while back was to find the best way to reduce the file size of videos with not so much trade of in quality and using software that can do the job fast. (Handbrake does a 175MB file to a 60MB in 2-3min, VDub in 3-4Min and a lot of those comersial converters can take like 20 mins).

So basicaly i can now get say 35 Family Guy Eposodes instead of just 11 on a 2GB Card.
