The Original: Video encoding for the 8100
Edit: Some things have changed on the Super C software, So it may not work for you. If you are having any trouble please download the Blackberry Video Creator here: Blackberry Video Creator

Finally got video working full screen and can work the controls for the player.
Here it is:

Go to http://www.erightsoft.com/home.html then freeware tab>super>download, then install and open the program.

Now you have to edit some of the settings.

1.Select the Output Container= avi
2.Select the output Video codec=H.263
3.Aspect=11:9,4:3 or 1:1
4.Frame/sec= 14.985
5.Bitrate kbps= 64-576

Now right click on the program and select specify the output folder destination and put wherever you want the files to be saved, change this because I am pretty sure the defaut folder is not set right.

Now drag and drop your file into super and hit Encode(active job list files).

Next go to your output folder select the file you want on your BB and copy it, now connect your BB and enter mass storage mode and paste the file into your BB video folder.

If you need any help or have problems PM, post here or Pin me and ill try to help

Also for reference the output file size is less than the original in some cases only half the size or less depending on the bitrate the smaller the bitrate the smaller the file size but the video seems to get more pixelated

Also to add, the above settings work but im sure with a little tweaking it can work even better. changing the framerate is what made controls work for example going from 14.985 (working controls) to 25(controls dont work).

full screen == 4:3 aspect ratio with 240 pixel width and 180 pixel height, not the full 260 pixel height.

Its not exactly 240x260 what I meant is it takes up the full screen on the 8100 player, the screen size of the 8100 is 240x260 but not the player size.

Hey, did you find this by my reference yesterday, to use Super C? Just curious if my post helped.

DFC420... this worked like a charm. Easy and great quality imo. It isnt choppy and didnt cause error. Thanks a lot!

I hope you dont mind... I shared this info on another BB forum (if its an issue... I'll take it down immediatly). I did let them know I didnt come up with the solution and that I got it from another forum (also included BB hub as the source). PM if you like a link to the thread.

Last thing.... when you say "Full Screen" what exaclty does that mean?

For some reason I imagined it would remove the control from the screen allowing "full screen" for the video (kinda like Window Media does when you select full screen on a PC)... but however the controls are still on the screen but the video does take up the "full screen" from left to right but not from up and down like I thought. Hope that wasnt too confusing. Let me know... thanks again

finally got it to work. Thanks!

So this program is working, good deal. Just tried for myself.

However, there still is an obvious problem with this player. It is only playing in .avi format, and only if its coded such as above.

Well, guess this will have to work for now until the next updated OS is released.

To everyone involved in working on this so that the 8100 users can finally get video playing on their devices, I thank you. Good job!

I meant Fullscreen in the player there is no option to hide controls yet. hopefully in the future.
