Which Video Format Setting DO YOU USE?

Just trying to decide which one gives you the best results with the EVO in 720p.

H.263?
H.264?
MPEG4?

Any opinions, and why would be appreciated.

Thanks,

I never thought about it but I just ran a 10 second test of h.264 versus mpeg4. I filmed my tv in the highest res. Gotta say, playing back on my phone, the h.264 had a lot less flicker from the tv and looked and sounded better. I'm gonna go see what the file size difference is. I filmed the exact same thing for the exact same time so it should be a relatively accurate representation. I'll report back.

I assume you're talking about the Evo's video recording encodings, not what you'd encode other videos you might convert and copy to your phone. As such, on the Evo...

H.263 will only get you up to 352x288 resolution.
H.264 will only get you up to 8000x480 resolution.
MPEG 4 is the only one that can get you up to 720p.


At least that's how it is on my Evo, unless they changed it in the latest update (which I haven't updated to).
