Description of Document:
The purpose of this document is to provide information on encoding video for
the CE labs MP70 players. The MP70 supports three main formats: Windows
Media 9, MPEG-4 part 10 (h.264) and MPEG-2. Windows Media 9 can
take the form of a WMV/WMA or VC-1. MPEG-2 can take the form of a
program stream or transport stream. There are guidelines for encoding each
of these formats; however, we suggest using the MPEG-4 container with the
h.24 codec for optimized playback, which is specified below.
