Converting TV Shows To Watch On The N95

Hey,

I was wondering if anyone could tell me the best utility to use to convert a TV show to a decent quality format to watch on my N95.

I had an N73 and used Super to convert video clips to watch on it but tried my standard settings for a TV show and a 350mb file turned into a 100mb file which makes me think I'm doing something wrong as i'm pretty sure it should be smaller because of the smaller screen.

If anyone can help i'd appreciate it 😊

P.S. Love the phone!

If a 350mb file turned into a 100mb file, then it has got smaller! Or am I missing something?

Anyway, I use Videora to convert movies to Ipod mp4 format. It works well, and I think the N95 can play mp4? If not, I'm sure Videora can convert to the correct format.

Thanks for the link 😊 I'll give it a try!

I just presumed as the resolution of the screen on the N95 is quite a bit smaller than the resolution of TV episodes downloaded that the filesize would be quite a bit smaller 😊
