oh yea when i tried to format the card through the phone it asked for a lock code? i didn't know what that was. the card didn't need a format after all, but still its kinda odd.

well so far using SUPER to encode i've gotten 176x144 with mpeg4 @ 144-240 15-25fps + aac 48kbps 2channel working smoothly. one can probably use the lower fps/bitrates just fine. it looks good in normal mode. in the rotated 90degrees sideways mode no matter the bitrate it looks blocky:( soi guess that mode is not useful. can't complain too much when the daily show takes up 25mb:P
the only bad thing? that memory card, theres a point when small becomes a pain to use i guess. its so @#% small! removing it from the adaptor is a struggle. eh, if only verizon didn't nerf the bluetooth interface.

For some of you that have had trouble sending (emailing) ringtones or Pix to your phone, for some reason the only way it has worked for me has been to send a message from my phone to my email address first, and reply to it with the desired attachment (ringtone or pix). If I create the email from scratch WITH the correct address, it bounces back.
Try this if you are having trouble sending ringtones (or pix) and have already enabled MP3 playback per the instructions which can be found previously in this thread.
The emails that I create from scratch that bounce back are NOT mistyped or sent to the wrong address, they are being refused by the Verizon SMTP server with the somewhat amgibuous error message of "SMTP connection refused 310702xxxx@vzwpix.com, Service Unavailable". I'm using Outlook for both the emails that I create from scratch (which get refused by Verizon), and the emails I successfully reply to that originate from my phone. I'm not looking for help with this problem since it's just as easy to reply to the messages that originate from my phone, I'm just providing this information for anyone else that may be experiencing the same issue.

Anyone know where I can download the most recent version of QPST that supports the VX8300? Another user in this forum said they used it to load ringtones onto their 8300. Bitpim only has very basic support for this phone in their most recent version, and that support is quite buggy. Desperately awaiting the next release, but in the meantime would like to check out QPST.

Nevermind, with some searching I was able to find a copy of QPST 2.7 and it worked with the VX8300. As another user posted, with a little effort and some trial and error adding ports to the software, you can use this to drop MP3 ringtones onto your VX8300. You do not need to rename them to .mid files, they work just fine as MP3s and show up as MP3s when you look at their info. Not sure why they get renamed to .MID files when you use the email method of sending them to your phone. It clearly gets passed through some sort of service when you use the email method, as evidenced when it recompresses them to another (HIGHLY compressed) format if the file is over 350K. By the way, if you use QPST for loading your Ringtones onto your phone, you're not bound by the 350K barrier since it doesn't have to pass through that service. It's overkill to create Ringtones larger than 350K, but it's nice not to be bound by that limitation.

hm seems super doesn't have an autosplitting option. any apps to quickly split avi/3pg files? the seek function ont he phone is dog slow, and theres no resume, so either you gotta watch the thing frmo start to end or sit through minutes of fast fowarding which is unviable. gotta split the files into chunks somehow.... need a fast way to do it. super does encode stuff pretty quick. i'm finding 144-160kbs mpeg4+48kbps aac @15fps pretty acceptable. may have to tweak it a bit more, but its a bit of a chore with that little card.
Between The Rever and RideWyoming... I've got my own perfectly edited mp3 ringtones. AND IM STOKED! Tip for newbies: very important to convert your mp3s to 22050 (from 44100). QPST and Audix w/ LAME did the trick. Also.. I used a bluetooth connection to do the transfering without incident. Awesome!

Glad to be of help
People here have been nice enough to help me.
Now on the bluetooth side... I use a cable to transfer mp3 to the phone and it's really fast but my bluetooth dongle in my laptop does not see the phone... hmmm...

hm i didn't convert to 22khz and it worked fine. i just fed it through audacity, used the amplify filter and then used bitpim to dump it in the correct directory. no sound quality sacrifice.
