Converting Video from Graboid.com to play on Mobile Devices

Most video files downloaded from Graboid are in the AVI format. Video files can simply be run through a video conversion program to convert to you mobiles specifications.

iPod, iPhone and iPod touch, conversion takes a MP4 format using the H.264 codec and the AAC Audio codec. Resolutions and FPS differ from each model, most one click converters will already have a pre-assigned profile for them.

Blackberry cellphones also use the MP4 format, and will also play Divx encoded files. If you take the avi file you downloaded, it will probably play, but because the file FPS and resolution are higher than that of the Blackberries screen, the video show’s choppy and freezes. Sometimes the audio lags.

STEPS:

You can find the Completed downloads path of the files you’ve downloaded under the Preferences link in the top right corner of the Graboid client.

Take the file and run the conversion.

Place the file on-to the unit. iPod type devices must have the video (MP4) placed into the iTunes directory and a re-sync can be done to update the unit. Blackberries need to have the file copied to the movies folder.
