What resolution, and frame rate should i encode too, when i want to watch a movie on my E740?

What are some good movie players?

Well, full length movies? You'll proably want DiVX format using Pocket Divx Player. You could use Windows Media Player's WMV format (ME and XP will come with a converter to WMV), but using DiVX files will keep you a bit more diverse. You'll probably want NTSB standards which is what, 24 fps I think @ 240 x 360 resolution.

You should make sure that you keep the aspect ration in relation to the film you're encoding.

Choose a target width as well and calculate the height as follows:

16:9 height = desired width * 9 / 16 --> for example 320 * 9 / 16 = 180 (for landscape)
4:3 height = desired width * 3 / 4 --> for example 320 * 3 / 4 = 240 (for landscape)
