Convert Movies and Videos for your Nokia E66

Using the best free video conversion software and the right settings, you’ll have the best movies and videos for your Nokia E66.

Compared to the Nokia E71 and Nokia E63 which has a natural landscape view, the Nokia E66 may not seem to be ideal for videos and movies. However, the Nokia E66 still carries the same size of approximately 2.4 inches of display like the E71 and E63. So the user’s experience of watching videos is the same, they only have to tilt the screen.

Thus, what we’re going to use are the same settings and steps we’ve used for the Nokia E71 and Nokia E63.

  

Super Video Converter

If you’re going to use Super Video Converter to convert videos and movies, I suggest that you first read How to Use Super Video Converter. The download link for the installer of Super Video Converter is also there.

 

Once you’ve downloaded and installed Super (and know how to use it), use the conversion settings below to convert your video or movie for the Nokia E66.

There will be two sets of conversion settings. One for videos which are non-widescreen, and another set for videos which are widescreen. Non-widescreen videos have an aspect ratio of 1.33:1. Widescreen videos however would have aspect ratios ranging from 1.77:1 to 2.77:1.

You would be able to tell if the video you are about to convert is widescreen or not by simply watching it. Once you know what type it is, just use the settings I have indicated below:

a. Non-Widescreen Videos

For non-widescreen videos, your Super settings should look like the one below:

The settings in the screenshot are:

Output File: mp4
Output Video Codec: mpeg-4
Output Audio Codec: AAC LC

Video General Options: Both unchecked
Video Scale Size: 320×240
Video Aspect: 4:3
Video Frame/Sec: 25
Video Bitrate: 384
Video Other Options: “High Quality” and “48k Audio” are checked

Audio General Options: Both unchecked
Audio Sampling Frequency: 44100
Audio Channels: 2
Audio Bitrate: 112
DVD Language Select: default

 

b. Widescreen Videos

For widescreen videos, your Super settings should look like the one below:

The settings in the screenshot are:

Output File: mp4
Output Video Codec: mpeg-4
Output Audio Codec: AAC LC

Video General Options: Both unchecked
Video Scale Size: 320×176
Video Aspect: 16:9
Video Frame/Sec: 25
Video Bitrate: 384
Video Other Options: “High Quality” and “48k Audio” are checked

Audio General Options: Both unchecked
Audio Sampling Frequency: 44100
Audio Channels: 2
Audio Bitrate: 112
DVD Language Select: default

 

If you notice that the audio and video aren’t synchronized, check the frame rate of source video by double-clicking the source video file in Super. A new window would appear at the right where you can check the Frame rate under the Video Category. You can use this setting to replace the Video Frame/Sec setting above.

 

MediaCoder Transcoder

MediaCoder is another converter which can be used for the Nokia E66. If you encounter problems using Super you can use MediaCoder instead. You can read How to Use MediaCoder if this is your first time to use this. You will also find the download link of MediaCoder there.

Once you’ve installed MediaCoder (and know how to use it) Just use the conversion settings in the screenshots below to convert your video or movie for the Nokia E66.

Non-Widescreen Videos

For widescreen videos, you will still use the settings above but change the settings in the Picture Tab.

Once conversion is complete just transfer it to your Nokia E66 and you should be able to watch it there. I hope I have helped you convert movies and videos for your Nokia E66.
