- Folders:
  - audio
    - (krzr saves audio in qcp format)
  - mixedmedia ?
  - MMC
    - my_music - my mp3's
    - my_flix
      - 3pg files saved here show up in movies (see below - video)
    - my_pix
    - my_sounds
      - Go to the My_Flix folder (or similar) on the card, and drag the .3gp file on your desktop (from Nokia Multimedia Converter 2.0) into that folder.

    - To add ringtones,
  - video
    - videos are saved in .3g2 format
    - Res: 65k colors and 176 x 220 pixels resolution
    - From DVD:
      - mencoder composite.avi -mf fps=30 -o output.avi -ovc lavc -lavcopts vcodec=msmpeg4v2:vbitrate=500 -oac mp3lame
      - (Copy to laptop) and save a 3pg video file: ffmpeg -i output.avi -acodec amr_nb -ab 8 -ac 1 -ar 8000 -vcodec h263 -s qcif -r 10 output.3gp
      - Note: linux couldn't playback the file with sound, but the phone could!
      - The file size is wonderfully small, and looks nice and clear - Dune (extra long version) came to 116MB!
      - I think to put a movie on the phone, my best bet is to mencode dvd://0, then ffmpeg to phone format.
  - vst - ?
Todo:
- Save a ringtone mp3 to the phone (<20s)
- Dial-up over bluetooth

Saving a ringtone: costs $.25:

Ok folks, Here is the official, unofficial directions to download mp3 ringtones to the Verizon Krzr phone. This is from personal experience and it works. You don't need a cable, or the verizon software or the motorola software. All you need is software to cut the mp3 to 20 seconds or less. I tried 30 seconds from other forums but it did not work for me. I use Audacity to cut the mp3. Ok here are the steps.
1. Email an attachment of the 20 second mp3 clip to your (10 digit phone
number)@vzwpix.com
2. This will come up on your phone as a pix message.
3. Open the message and your mp3 will start to play
4. Select options and save your mp3 to save sound
5. Your ringtone should now show up in myringtones and be available
6. You can delete the pix message
7. You can only email one ringtone at a time, but at .25 each that's alot
cheaper than Verizon's 2.99 for crap tones
Hope this helps!
