I'm creating a devices.ini entry for a HTC Touch HD: 800x480 screen, mp4 (MPEG4-ASP) support in WMPm. I've cobbled together the below which seems to work ok (for 4:3) but I need help:

1. Should I use 720x480 or 640x480 for 4:3 material? I tried converting both, and both looked ok. I think the 720x480 was better. Which is right?

2. My widescreen DVD's are 720x480 letterboxed. How do I tell the converter to crop the top/bottom bars and scale to 800x480?

3. WMPmobile (in wm6.1) shows WMV container files in the library (but will play .mp4 from FILE | OPEN). Is there a way to put an MPEG4-ASP file into a wmv container? Would make for a nicer UI.

Thanks! Here's my config so far:

[Touch HD]
Manufacturer=HTC
useMencoder=1
SubTitle=1
ScreenRatio=15:9
Res1=720x480
ResAna1=800x450
ARate=48000
ABRate=128
Format=lavf
lavfopts=format=mp4
lavcopts=aglobal=1:vglobal=1:vcodec=mpeg4:acodec=libfaac
FileType=mp4
Quality=23
MaxVBitrate=650

Hi this may help for point 2 in your post
http://forum.slysoft.com/showpost.php?p=50873&postcount=3
 
The physical res of HTC Touch Pro screen is 640 x 480. Does that need to appear somewhere?
I've previously been using the iPhone configuration, which always works, but the sound and video are out of sync, and the video is sometimes jerky.
I'm sure I'm a lot less knowledgeable than the previous poster. I tired the latest configuration and got the following error, which means almost nothing to me.
ERROR MESSAGE:

Try appending the scale filter to your filter list,
e.g. -vf spp,scale instead of -vf spp.
Audio LAVC, couldn't find encoder for codec l.
 
Error message

There is an error in your entry in device.ini

Look at this line:

lavcopts=aglobal=1:vglobal=1:vcodec=mpeg4:acodec=l ibfaac

There is a blank between l and ibfaac. Remove it and everything is fine.

For PAL, use:

[Touch HD]
Manufacturer=HTC
useMencoder=1
SubTitle=1
ScreenRatio=15:9
Res1=720x576
ResAna1=800x480
ARate=48000
ABRate=128
Format=lavf
lavfopts=format=mp4
lavcopts=aglobal=1:vglobal=1:vcodec=mpeg4:acodec=libfaac
FileType=mp4
Quality=23
MaxVBitrate=650

Besides correcting the display resolution to ResAna1=800x480 (should be for NTSC as well), for PAL, Res1=720x480 becomes Res1=720x576.
Oh, and lavcopts=.....:acodec=libfaac.

Those are the only differences.

I found that Quality = 6 was taxing the Touch HD (some breakup/pixelation occurring), whereas Quality = 5 seems stable.

Wrap your suggestions in code tags, please. Yours has introduced the space in libfaac which caused the previous poster's error (the forum displays messages incorrectly unless in code tags). Here it is corrected and ready for cut and paste:
Code: 
[Touch HD]
Manufacturer=HTC
useMencoder=1
SubTitle=1
ScreenRatio=15:9
Res1=720x576
ResAna1=800x480

ABRate=128
Format=lavf
lavfopts=format=mp4
lavcopts=aglobal=1:vglobal=1:vcodec=mpeg4:acodec=libfaac
