Quickly retool a video for a portable

Robert Hallock May 18, 2009 1:06 PM ET in Tech

Reencoding files to work on a portable device is the fine art of suffering through a gigantic pain in the ass. As every player supports different codecs, framerates, dimensions and bitrates, you either take a crash course in media encoding or get a tool to do it all for you.

Dan Cunningham’s EncodeHD will take that blob of pr0n videos and rejigger them into the right format for BlackBerries, iPods, consoles, iPhones and more. There’s not much control over the process, but only tightwads are going to cry over some banding in the blacks on a screen the size of a postage stamp.

    Nice. One of the reasons that I love my Creative Zen is that it comes with a very simple, easy to use program to do much the same specifically for the Zen. It even lowers the quality so that, say, a 300mb video file that may or may not be a Futurama episode will automatically get pared down to 70mb, the perfect size to get full quality for the Zen's screen while paring down the size so that I can fit as many videos as possible on the thing
