File format: Mostly DivX AVI or WMV (Windows Media Video) are
used. While WMV is its own format, AVI is a so-called container
format. This means that the actual file format is set via the me

In addition to the AVI format, you will also have to set up a codec that
your mobile device supports when exporting AVI files.

second (fps). This isn't problematic, since the frame rate of the ou
material is used.

Always copy movies for these devices from the export dialog along
with the corresponding presets (at the top of the "Preset" list and at
the bottom beside "Play after export").
