About XviD to Mobile Video Conversion

XviD is the open-source MPEG-4 Part 2 codec from the scene release era, with files typically in AVI containers at 700 MB-1.4 GB. The Mobile Video device preset is a universal mobile profile producing H.264 Baseline video with AAC-LC audio at 480p resolution — designed to play on any mobile device regardless of manufacturer, operating system, or hardware generation.

The Mobile preset targets the widest possible device compatibility. While Android, iPhone, and Kindle presets optimize for specific platforms, the Mobile preset ensures playback on any phone, tablet, portable media player, car infotainment system, or handheld device that supports video at all.

Why Convert XviD to Mobile Video?

XviD AVI files are incompatible with virtually all mobile devices — neither the MPEG-4 Part 2 ASP codec nor the AVI container are supported by mobile hardware decoders. The Mobile preset converts to the most universally supported mobile format: H.264 Baseline at 480p in MP4. This combination plays on Android, iOS, Windows Phone, BlackBerry, feature phones, car stereos, and portable media players.

The 480p resolution keeps files small and compatible with even the most basic devices. A 700 MB XviD movie converts to approximately 250-400 MB at 480p, making it practical for Bluetooth sharing, low-storage devices, and situations where compact file size matters more than resolution.

Common Use Cases

  • Converting XviD collections for sharing with people who have different phone brands
  • Creating universally compatible video from XviD archives for broad distribution
  • Building a portable video library that plays on any device including car screens and portable players
  • Preparing XviD content for USB playback in car infotainment systems
  • Converting scene releases to a format suitable for any mobile device without knowing the target hardware

How It Works

FFmpeg demuxes the XviD AVI container, decodes the MPEG-4 Part 2 video, and re-encodes to H.264 Baseline Profile Level 3.0 at 480p (854x480 or 640x480). Audio is transcoded from MP3 to AAC-LC stereo at 96-128 kbps. Video bitrate targets 1-2 Mbps. The MP4 container includes faststart. Frame rate is preserved from the source (typically 23.976 or 25 fps). The output is compatible with essentially any device manufactured in the last 15 years.

Quality & Performance

At 480p with 1-2 Mbps H.264, the Mobile preset produces clean video on screens up to 5-6 inches. XviD scene releases at 624x352 downscale minimally to 480p. The codec upgrade from MPEG-4 Part 2 to H.264 compensates for any resolution reduction with better per-pixel quality. Audio at 96-128 kbps AAC is adequate for phone speakers and earbuds. Files are 250-400 MB for a 90-minute movie.

Frequently Asked Questions

The Mobile preset uses 480p Baseline for maximum device compatibility. The Android preset uses 720p for better quality on modern Android hardware. Choose Mobile when you need universal compatibility.
Yes. XviD scene releases were typically 624x352 — very close to 480p. The resolution match is natural and the H.264 codec produces cleaner output than the original XviD.
Yes. H.264 Baseline MP4 at 480p is supported by the vast majority of car infotainment systems with USB video playback.
Approximately 250-400 MB for a 90-minute movie — roughly 40-60% of the original XviD file size. Compact enough for 16 GB devices.
Yes. The Mobile preset produces files that play on desktop computers, smart TVs, game consoles, and any web browser in addition to mobile devices.
