iPod Converting my Movies to iPhone Format....

[Winter Charm]

I have a few questions about converting some of my personal videos into iPhone format:

I am using VLC media Player to do this, so that parts good, i just have a few questions about the format and bit rate.

I want the videos to match the quality of videos downloaded from iTunes

What format is better: H.264 or MPEG-4 and at what Bit rate (video/audio) and what resolution?? i am trying this out for the first time, so any information will be helpful. i do want it to play at native resolution on my iPod Touch.

Thanks in advance for all the help

the res of the iphone is 480x 320. choose H.264. its an upgraded version of MP4. bitrate follows this formula. higher = better quality= bigger file. so decide which one you want more.
