Selecting the right recording resolution setting  
The 320x240,176x120 and the 640x480 modes record in a 4:3  
aspect ratio (which is standard screen format found on regular  
DVD's and most TV's). The 320 x 240-30fps mode is the resolu-  
tion typical of most handhelds, and the files are fairly compact and  
will play back on the greatest number of devices.  
The 640x480 mode provides the highest resolution but also  
requires the most data storage space. It is generally only recom-  
mended when you plan to play back the recorded files on a TV or  
laptop. The extra resolution is wasted on small screens like those  
on handhelds. While some handhelds can handle the higher reso-  
lution 640x480 files (the Neuros 442 for one), many (like the PSP  
and the iPod Video) don't have the capability to play them at all.  
The 368x208 resolution setting is used when recording from video  
sources that are in the wide-screen (16:9) format, and some peo-  
ple like to use it when recording for playback on wide-screen  
handhelds like the Sony PSP (see "Playing back recorded files).  
This format uses about the same amount of data as the 320x240-  
15fps format. Note: If you record in the 368x208 format from a  
source that isn't 16:9, the upper or lower portions of the video may  
be clipped on playback. If recording from a TV, make sure it's in  
the wide-screen format. If from a DVD player, make sure the DVD  
is wide-screen format and also that the player's video output is set  
to 16:9.  
320 x 240-15fps is designed for PDAs and some Smartphones.  
Please refer to your playback device's manual for details concern-  
ing supported formats and resolutions.

176x120, 320x240-3GP and 176x120-3GP are designed for  
Mobile Phones. Please refer to your Mobile Phones's manual for  
details concerning supported formats and resolutions.  
Note:As of the date of this printing, the PSP would not allow  
zooming on 368x208 resolution files. It is hopeful that Sony will  
correct this shortcoming in future firmware revisions.

2. Before you use the MS (Pro) Duo Card with MPEG-4 recorder,  
better you can format the MS (Pro) Duo Card by Sony PSP first.  
This is to make sure Sony PSP can recognize the recorded files  
generated from MPEG-4 recorder.  
3. Afterwards you can record the content into the MS (Pro) Duo  
Card, remove the MS (Pro) Duo card while complete the  
recording, and then insert the MS (Pro) Duo Card into the Sony  
PSP for further playback.
