Hello everybody, today I want to share with you everything I've learned trying to get the best possible quality for my K790 videos, this is what I know:

First of all we need a good quality video clip or movie to convert (this is where the Apple Trailers Tutorial starts)


1-. We go to http://www.apple.com/trailers and look for a trailer that we want to see (e.g Iron Man, or bolt, etc)
2-. When you are in the site, you select the large version (or the medium or small, is your choice)
3-. Either on firefox or IE, we need to see the "source code" of the page (firefox = ctrl + u; IE = view -> source code (it opens in notepad))
4-. Once we have the source code, we use the "find" function and type in ".mov" and we start looking.
5-. You should find some thing like this "http://movies.apple.com/movies/lionsgate/transporter3/transporter3-tlr2a_h.640.mov?width=640&height=272" (the bolded address is the one you copy)
6-. After you copied it, you paste it in a download manager (download accelerator, download them all, etc) and you download the file
7-. The file you downloaded will have a size of 70~100 kb, now you have to open that file with notepad and this is what you'll get: Xmoov Prmra Hrmda 0rdrf url transporter3-tlr2a_h640w.mov rmdr ð (in red the real file name
8-. Now with that information, this is what you do, we take the address that we had before

http://movies.apple.com/movies/lionsgate/transporter3/transporter3-tlr2a_h.640.mov, and we replace the bolded text with the real file name "transporter3-tlr2a_h640w.mov"

You should have something like this:
"http://movies.apple.com/movies/lionsgate/transporter3/transporter3-tlr2a_h640w.mov

Now copy the new address that you have and paste it in your download manager, and start downloading your trailer!


-----------------------------------END OF THE TRAILERS TUTORIAL---------------------------------------

Convert the Trailer you just downloaded

We need the M3 converter (it's in this forum)

1-. You open the program
2-. Add the files to convert
3-. Select your mobile and settings (see image below)


4-. Go to the "video" tab and use the same settings that are displayed in the image below

Noticed that video passes is set to "2-pass", that's very important

Then hit convert files, wait for it, and enjoy and excellent video quality without hiccups or ugly pixels, you can increase the "video bitrate" for better quality (but you may get some lag or hiccups depending on your phone

all these trials were done in my k790, and with the settings posted, you get the best quality and performance.

Hope you enjoy!!

***NEW CHANGE***

I converted a clip from "Blot" and I noticed some lag, but if you change the Video bitrate to "280" you'll get the same excellent quality with no hiccups or lag.

I used M3 for a while but the 25 FPS videos makes it lagg...

Whenever i convert anime to 25 FPS, frames fall behind.

try using the exact same settings I've posted, and if you want you can change the bitrate to 300kbps, the thing is that even if the video you are converting is 30 fps, M3 will use 23.9 fps...

Give it a try, download a trailer from apple and convert it.

Let me know how it goes.

Very good... much better than the program I used before, SUPER. Super doesnt give an indication of remaining time and it's not optimized for phones either wink.gif
