Audio and video content on android

    Hello,

    For a project in work, we are getting a multimedia company to make 7 x 3 minutes film = around 21 minutes of video. ( with H.264/1280x720/1000kbps = about 200 Mb) which will then be stored on a MicroSD on the Samsung Galaxy S. These video files will be called by an app that I am developing.
    They will also record all the text in audio (voice-over) as a separate file = about 60 minutes audio (with mp3 size about 60 Mb)
    Total media around 260 Mb. They will be working on a Apple computer.

    I know very little about multimedia - even though I apparantly have a masters in it :rolleyes:- and was wondering if someone could help me answer some of these questions?

    What would be the max suitable size for each of the files if stored on a 4GB Micro SD?

    What is the minimum quality for display on a Samsung Galaxy S?

    What is the best file format for display on the device?

    Thanks

    The docs are always a good place to look for this kind of information - Android Supported Media Formats

    I'm not sure there is a recommended size on the file.

    Is it only going to be on the Galaxy S? Cause alot of the older/cheaper android devices haven't got great screen resolution, so you'll be able to reduce down the size a lot.
