Well, here is the supported audio and video codecs:

You could use this info to try some test encodes. Did your phone come with its own encoding software? If not, there is some shareware that will work (not free though) from http://www.brothersoft.com/kingconvert-for-sony-ericsson-k850i-131243.html

Very nice site you have here.

You might be interested in a page I’ve created giving side-by-side comparisons of the best of the currently available video hosts which offer embedding: http://kareltests.co.uk An HD version is on the way.

Keep up the good work!

Can I use this program to encode video to a live constant video stream?

I am looking for an alternative for windows media encoder but for flash… Any suggestions?

Thank you!

@CostaDelSol – All of those software can give you very good output with the proper settings and a good source file. Squeeze 5 with the Main Concept H.264 codec would be my preference over the others. For free encoders, I highly recommend Handbrake. Another professional software I really like is Episode Pro.

Hi there!

Now I am asking the same question send to you via Mail to make sure everyone gets it:

Which one of the three mentioned softwares (Sorenson Squeeze 5 Pro, SUPER and Handbrake) is the best for compressing without loss of Quality?

Is there andything better on the market yet?

Greetings from Spain,

The SUPER website is horrible. The direct link to the current version is: http://www.erightsoft.org/GetFile.php?SUPERsetup.exe

On a side note, you may want to look into Handbrake (http://handbrake.fr/) which is my new favorite open source video encoding tool. Is has a user friendly UI, is stable, and supports all formats the FFMPEG uses (Handbrake is basically a UI for the command line encoder FFMPEG).

@Todd – Please post the SUPER settings you are using. Also, please open the .MOV files in the QuickTime player and post the details of the source files as well.

I am trying to use Super to convert Quicktime .mov files to .avi files so I can use them with Windows DVD Maker. I can get them to convert but the quality is poorer than the original and they are 1/2 the size. Tried matching the info from the original but can’t seem to get the right combination. ANy ideas? Thanks!
