AI Thread Summary
The Sony Ericsson w810i phone has a screen resolution of 220x176 pixels, allowing for video playback in two orientations: vertically at 176x99 pixels and horizontally at 220x123 pixels. Horizontal viewing provides a 55.3% increase in viewable area compared to vertical. The user resized a video to 220x123 pixels using Virtual Dub and saved it in .avi format with DivX 6 codec. However, when converting the video to 3GP format using Xilisoft 3GP converter, the video is distorted as the software does not maintain the aspect ratio and lacks resolution control. The user seeks alternative software options that respect aspect ratios and allow for resolution adjustments, mentioning Mobile Video Converter as a potential alternative.

I have a Sony Ericsson w810i phone. The screen dimensions are 220x176 px. So.. there are two ways i can view a video clip with 16:9 aspect ratio:

either vertically:

videoRes: 176x99

or horizontally:

videoRes: 220x123

When I view it horizontally.. i get 55.3% more viewarea as compared to vertical viewing.

So.. i used Virtual Dub and resized the video to 220x123 and saved it in .avi [codec: DivX 6].

Now.. the problem is that I use the Xilisoft 3GP converter [X3C] to convert the clips into 3gp. And X3C is such an idiot piece of software.. it converts my video to something like this:

yup.. it completely skews my video with no respect to aspect ratio. It scales it both horizontally and vertically.. and there is no way to control the resolution in X3C.
so.. i need suggestions frm ur side as to how i can overcome this problem. Is there any other software that actually respects aspect ratios and/or allows me to control the res?

thanks,
rohan

Thread 'Urgent: Physically repair - or bypass - power button on Asus laptop'
Asus Vivobook S14 flip. The power button is wrecked. Unable to turn it on AT ALL. We can get into how and why it got wrecked later, but suffice to say a kitchen knife was involved: These buttons do want to NOT come off, not like other lappies, where they can snap in and out. And they sure don't go back on. So, in the absence of a longer-term solution that might involve a replacement, is there any way I can activate the power button, like with a paperclip or wire or something? It looks...
