Rendering for Portable Devices

[astrovideo]

Hi,
Can someone suggest file output settings for a portable devide (JXD 301)? I tried some of the pre-sets (Ipod, PSP, Mobile Phone), as well as creating my own. I also read the "Rendering for YouTube" post here (and others) that are similar.

It seems no matter what setings I use (320x240, Xvid, Mpeg-1, Mpeg-2, 25 FPS, 30FPS, low bitrate, etc.), the player will not recognize and play the file.

Can someone suggest some settings that might produce a "friendly" file for these type of hand-held media players?

Thank you

Movies: This is the main reason I bought this player, and so far I am not disappointed with it's movie playing ability (like I was with the Meizu M6). I have only experimented with xvid / .avi's at the moment and at 25 FPS they are so smooth and jerk-free AND the audio remains in sync! PLEASE NOTE, THIS IS AT 320X240 RESOLUTION. BIGGER RESOLUTIONS MIGHT NOT BE SO SMOOTH.
Fast forwarding through a .avi is a little tiresome, as it takes about 3 seconds per minute - although I noticed the .rmvb movie which came with the player fast forwards much quicker.
There is a handy facility for saving where you've got up to in a movie, and you can return to your saved position even after you have left the movie and gone into another one (Let's say your movie is called "Bond.avi". It creates a 'save point' called "Bond.DAT" which you can load next time you are watching the movie). You have to remember to perform the save operation yourself, as it doesn't do this automatically when you leave.

I had created about 100 movies using Xilisoft's DVD2MP4 converter for use with my Rockchip players, and these movies play flawlessly on the 301.
