Droid optimized movie trailers
by Mitch - January 11th, 2010. Filed under: Android, Samples, Tips / Tricks.To show off the capabilities of your Droid, as well as the capabilities of DVD Catalyst 3, I converted a couple of movie trailers to a format that plays onthe Verizon/Motorola Droid Smartphone.
The original files used for the conversion are HD versions of the trailers, and are converted using the Droid HQ2 profile with DVD Catalyst 3.84.1
All the files are encoded using the H264 video at 1500 kbps and 160kbps AAC audio.
The MP4 files are streaming-capable, which means that they will play directly on the Droid by just clicking the link (note the bandwidth needs for proper playback is quite high due to the quality). If you have Quicktime installed, you can stream them on your computer as well.
The best way to view these files is to download the zip file, and copy the mp4 file found in the zip file to your Droid.
Global Settings > Conversion > Remove Black bars from File.
(Default DVD Catalyst setting) This setting removes the black bars (if there are any) from the actual video, and leaves the video portion as it. When you view this on your device, you will have the full width of the movie, however, in most cases you will see some black borders added by the video player. Some video player programs have a Zoom function which will make the video appear as the ones above.

Global Settings > Conversion > Remove Black bars from Device.
This makes every video you convert play Full-Screen on your device. This setting removes black borders from the video first, and then cuts off (if needed) a small section from the sides of the actual video to make it full screen on your device.

Global Settings > Conversion > Full Screen Stretch
This setting removes the black borde3rs from the video as the default setting of Remove Black Bars from File, however, it then stretches the video to make it full-screen on your device. This is commonly referred to as “Anamorphic”. While you do end up with full-screen video, it does change the actual look of the video. As the name suggests, it “stretches” the video. People can appear taller and skinnier in the movie (if you convert a wide-screen movie) or people can appear short and stubby (if you convert a standard TV show for example)
