You can convert easily with Mediacoder. Subtitle is auto detected and added if both the SRT and AVI files are in the same folder, with the same name. It has customized preset functionality also.

Download it here : MediaCoder - Download Full Pack

XML preset settings for media coder. Just paste this into a file with XML extention. eg 5800.xml

Code: 
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

Video bitrate : 800 ( you can try 900 or greater for better quality. )

Format: MPEG4

Container: MP4

For the best resolution and cropping,check the source's resolution. For example, if the video resolution 624x352 which is smaller than 5800XM's screen (640x360),then don't resize it to 640x360. So if you want the best quality for your viewing, check the source video details first, before doing cropping or resizing.

For the audio, choose the bitrate of 128. If the audio bitrate is higher than what you have for the source, it can cause lags in the audio while playing on the mobile. So always choose a bitrate lesser than what you have in the source file.

I am giving here a list of 5800 compatible convertors which I have used and found to be working.

FreeVideoToiPodConverter

Settings to convert :select IPOD in devices and in presets use the "IPOD TOUCH HIGH QUALITY (MPEG 30 FRAMES PER SECOND 640 * 480 ,AAC 192 BIT

SUPER

Best in the league, but its painfully slow. If you want the optimal settings for 5800, I can provide you with the XML preset file.

NOKIA pc suite VIDEO

Not suitable for every file and needs your phone to be connected.

Mediacoder

 Excellent and I am using this currently. Supports subtitles.

Here is some more , recommended by some websites. All may not be freeware. (I din't personnaly check it though. If anyone had used any of these, please revert with the speed, clarity and other details)

Some Useful Tips

Video resolution width must not exceed 640 and height must not exceed 360

To make sure that the Aspect ratio is maintained you have to map either the original width to 640 or original height to 360. If both can be mapped then good. but it is possible only with 16:9 aspect ratio videos. Here's a few eg.

Original Movie Res. Res for 5800XM (Screen size 640x360)

352x240 528x360

512x288 640x360

1280x640 640x320

Birate : 1024 for HD quality, 512 if you want a smaller file size

Framerate : 25 (30 if the original framerate is over 25)

Audio Codec : aac

Bitrate : 128

Channel : 2

Sample rate : 11025

Tried it before with SUPER, guess wasn't using the right setting somewhere.. but with mediacoder, its awesome.. thx n repped :D
 
thanks mathew but mediacoder converts faster or ipodtovideo converter converts faster.
btw which version of mediacoder do u use
 
I dint do much research on ipodtovideo. I did not like the interface much..

seems like mediacoder must be fast. way faster than SUPER since I have been using super for the last 1.5 years:)

I am using v0.7. Seems to be the latest. I downloaded directly from the site.

for those who are looking for an easy way out, ie without tinkering with the resolution and all, you can try Nokia video converter for linux tablets.. it works wonderfully well for 5800 xpress music.. I will post the download link in a some time
 
Sorry if this post is out of place here but will the same settings work for the 5130 xpress music? Or is there a difference in the 2 phones' hardware because of which the settings will need to be changed?

I'm currently playing around with any video converter & selecting a video bitrate of 512 & 128 bit aac makes the playback slightly choppy @ 320x240 res. Reducing the video bitrate to 256 makes playback smooth enough but artefacts/pixels show up a lot more.

Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks.
 
No need for apologies... Seems like I should change the thread name to a generic one.

just play around with some settings and you will get it. These basic settings should at least display the video on the phone while playing. The rest is upto you..

You may need to check out the max capabilities of your phone also.

If you get a chance to get a good configuration, don't forget to post and share it here so that others who come around will not have to reinvent the wheel again...:hap2:
