I use WMA lossless instead of any other lossless formats because its the only losslessly compressed format Windows can display information of.

Build: 4243
From: Any lossless audio format MediaCoder supports
To: WMA lossless (audio only)

Container: WMA
Bitrate: Lossless
Audio Codec (Encoder): WMA

Code: Select all

Purpose - convert various digital camera videos to iPhone/iPod.

Build/Version: 0.6.2.4242
From: Just about anything
To: MP4

Container: MP4
Video Codec(Format): H.264
Bitrate: 1024 kb/s
Audio Codec(Encoder): FAAC/AAC
Audio Bitrate: 128 kb/s
Video Size: 640x368

Note, I've tried different rates for bitrates (audio and video) - you can adjust them to taste. Also the 'scale' (and the aspect ratio) can be modified to suite your input media format. Just about the only 'hard requirement' is to set 'baseline level 3' in the h.264 setting.

Tested with an AVI from my Canon S45, and a .MOV from my Lumix LX3.

1. I use this preset to convert videos for playback on my phone, a Nokia 5800 XPressMusic.
2. I normally convert downloaded xvid AVIs to h264 MP4s.
3. I am using Mediacode Portable 0.6.2.4275 on a Windows XP SP3 computer.

I am a newbie also but have been playing around with Mediacoder for a little while to convert MKV files. Here is the "best" presets I have found: (will be in MPEG2 format though, works for me! Compression is good!)
Video: Enable Video, Format = MPEG2, Mode = Bitrate-based 5000kbps
Audio: Enable Audio, Source = Auto Select, Encoder = FFmpeg (copy audio unchecked), leave rest as default
Container = default
Picture: Resize = Original, Crop = Disabled, Frame Rate = Original
Sound = Stereo
Demuxer = default
Subtitle = Disabled (unless you want them)
Time = Set this for any approx 2 min part of file (just for testing until you are sure settings will work for you, then when ready to transcode full file = all 00's)
Text = All off
All else is default

hi.
after long days of testing and re-testing, this is my preset for best-looking videos on my Sony Ericsson W760i.
according to sony ericsson's specs, it'll also work with their C510, C702, C901, C902, C903, C905, G502, G700, G705, G900, K660, K770, K790, K800, K810, K850, M600, P1, P990, S500, T650, T700, T707, W508, W580, W595, W705, W715, W760, W830, W850, W880, W890, W900, W902, W910, W950, W960, W980, W995, Z750, Z770, Z780.
it's an MP4-contained XVID with nero's AAC. I haven't used H.264, since it seems that the device doesn't like playing these files on hi-res (320x240) with high bitrates (over 150kbps), so you get better-looking videos with no lag with MPEG4 without AVC.
I've used ffmpeg for both multiplexing and remuxing; using mp4box doesn't allow the device to recognize the video file, and not enabling remux causes horrible sync/no sound problems. a mound of frustration there.
apparently the device doesn't like b-frames, GMC or quarter pixels; according to the spec MPEG4 Visual Simple profile should be used.
you can play with the quality sliders of both the video and the audio, and of course change it into bitrate-based.
have fun.

This Preset gives a result that behaves best in Premiere. It scrubs smoothly and is thus easy to edit. However, the file size is large, about 620 MB/min.
