Testing iPhone conversion to high, medium, and low settings

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
I expect that choosing the same device and different quality settings will result in video 
converted to a common display size with varying file sizes.
In actuality the video size will vary depending on the selected target. Looking at the code
High -> 640x-10 (That is max width 640 and height scaled to a multiple of 10 to keep the 
aspect ratio)
Medium -> 480x360
Low -> 320x240

The actual display size of the iPhone is 480 x 320.

I would suggest using dsize instead of scale to specify the display size and let mencoder scale 
accordingly. This would help to keep the aspect ratio and fill as much of the display as possible.

High is intended to be higher than the iphone native resolution (it's aiming for
highest possible, in case you plan on hooking it up via an external display).
  Medium and Low should be iphone native.  Will fix.

  Not familiar with dscale (will look it up now..  not a big mencoder user so
comments appreciated).

That makes sense. Maybe it would be better named 'iTunes - All Devices' or something
like VisualHub used to.

Ok now it is iphone/ipod high re ;   iphone   ;  ipod

  hopefully that's a little clearer.  (I'm avoiding 'all devices' as I think it won't
work for psp's for example)
