Convert Movies and Videos for the Nokia 5530 XpressMusic

Using the best free video converters and the right settings, you can convert almost any video or movie to watch it in full screen in the Nokia 5530 XpressMusic.

With the success of the Nokia 5800, Nokia has released another phone much like it but with a lower price tag – the Nokia 5530 XpressMusic. Unlike the Nokia 5800, the Nokia 5530 doesn’t have 3G, has no GPS, and has a smaller screen (from 3.2 inches to 2.9 inches). Despite this, the Nokia 5530 is still a great phone as it is sleeker, cheaper and packs all the other good features of the Nokia 5800.

And like the Nokia 5800, the Nokia 5530 is great for watching movies and videos as well. Let’s now try to convert videos and movies for the Nokia 5530 XpressMusic.

Below are three video conversion applications we can use to convert videos and movies for the Nokia 5530.

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 of 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 5530 XpressMusic.

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

Video General Options: Both unchecked
Video Scale Size: 640×360
Video Aspect: 16:9
Video Frame/Sec: 25
Video Bitrate: 816
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

I’m pretty sure that the Nokia 5530 can handle more than the 816kbps video bitrate that we specified so feel free to make this higher to increase the quality of the converted video. If conversion is too long for you or the converted video file is larger than the source video file, you can decrease the video bitrate from 816kbps (take note that you’ll be decreasing the video quality as well).

If you find that audio and video are not synchronized, you can check the frame rate of the source video file by double-clicking the source video file which you added in Super. A new window would appear at the right. Take note of the Frame rate under the Video category. You can use this setting to replace the Video Frame/Sec setting above.

You can increase the audio bitrate as well to increase the audio quality if you want.

 

MediaCoder Transcoder

MediaCoder is another video converter which is as powerful and as flexible as Super. If you encounter problems using Super you can use MediaCoder instead.

I suggest that you first 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 5530.

 

If you’ve entered the correct settings, the summary should show the following:

 

Note: If the converted file is larger than the source file, try to check the video bitrate of the source file if it’s smaller than the 816kbps. If it is, set it to that number. So if the video bitrate of the source file is just 500kbps, in the conversion settings above, replace 816 with 500. You can check for the video bitrate of the source file by clicking at the source file in MediaCoder and then checking the properties window located at its right.

 

Videora Nokia 5530 Video Converter

If you just want to quickly convert videos for your Nokia 5530 and don’t want to think about conversion settings much, you can use Videora’s Nokia 5530 Video Converter. It’s not as flexible as the two mentioned earlier (in terms of video quality, file size, aspect ratio, etc.) but it’s the easiest to use!

You can download it directly from Videora’s Nokia 5530 site page.

 

If you still want to use other converters other than the ones listed here, I’ve compiled the best free video converters available today.

 

There you have it! Im sure you can now watch videos and movies on the Nokia 5530!
