- Page 2 W300 Z610 Note: Other Sony Ericsson phones can support the same containers and compression codecs as the phones listed here, however the exact parameters needed to encode videos for those phones may differ. As such it is recommended to verify successful playback on those phones when creating video for them.

Stereo Sound \- Audio consisting of two channels, left and right. Streaming \- A method for making audio, video and other multimedia available in near realtime, that is the user can begin to watch or hear the content of a downloaded media file after only a short delay.

The MPEG standards are an evolving series, each designed for a different purpose. MPG \- MPEG-1 file. OGG \- Ogg Vorbis Codec Compressed WAV File. An open source patent-free audio compression format. Vorbis files compress to a smaller size than MP3 files.
- Page 5 Formatting video for local playback Resolution Both visible and audible information are naturally analogue mediums. This analogue information must be sampled to be stored digitally. The number of samples dictates the resolution of the digital copy, with more samples improving the resolution and definition.
- Page 6 {*}Supported containers{*} Sony Ericsson phones have very functional support for the IsoMedia container as 3GP and MP4. MP4 containers support MPEG-4 video streams and several types of AAC audio stream. 3GP is a simplified version of the container that is used primarily for low bandwidth applications such as streaming content;...

Page 7: Audio Codec
It is important to note that MPEG-4 video support on Sony Ericsson phones is only supported in the simple profile. A great deal of online video content also uses MPEG-4 video codecs, such as the above mentioned XviD, or DivX. However they will likely be MPEG-4 video encoded using the advanced simple profile, which is unsupported on Sony Ericsson phones. - Page 8 The table below shows suggested values when encoding video and audio streams for local playback on Sony Ericsson phonesThe basic video parameters will offer basic quality upon playback. Conversely the optimal parameters will give truly excellent quality on Sony Ericsson phones, with fluid motion, rich details, and minimal compression artefacts.
- Page 9 The following is general advice to achieve better results when formatting multimedia video for Sony Ericsson phones. Sony Ericsson phone screens have a 4:3 aspect ratio. The visual resolution of the source media may be of a different aspect ratio, such as widescreen 16:9. Whilst it is possible to add black borders to the top and bottom of the video to preserve the aspect ratio, due to the limited size of mobile phone screens it is recommended to instead crop pixels from the sides of the video so it becomes 4:3 aspect.
