Re: Samsung Rant (M540) mp3 ringtones from sd card
you can save it in either or (phone or card) DCIM folder. the best thing to do is to make the file name SSPX****.3g2 the file name (*=number). I read that in another forum, and it worked fine for me. However I used Audacity to make my 30 second clip, and then used Extension Changer to change it from .mp3 to .3g2! Hope this helps!

Re: Samsung Rant (M540) mp3 ringtones from sd card
Hello, new here. I have tried what you have said and it doesn't seem to work. When I try to select one of the files for my ringer it shows a red "x" where a video file would be. I can select options and play the file and it plays fine. The problem is when I select that file as my ringer and back out of the settings menu and have someone call me, it reverts back to the default ringer. Any ideas?
This solved my problem. Thanks everyone!!!Last edited by ponie1992; 02-07-2009 at 08:01 PM. Reason: Auto-merged Double post

Re: Samsung Rant (M540) mp3 ringtones from sd card
To make a ringtone or screensaver, simply use Windows Movie Maker, which comes free with Windows XP and Vista.
1. Start Windows Movie Maker. Import or drag a photo, animation clip and/or trimmed mp3 file clip to appropriate time line in Windows Movie Maker. (I don't use audio for screensavers so just drag video if you don't want sound). Video and audio clips should start at 0 and should not exceed 30 seconds. You can drag right end of both audio and video clips so both are equal in length. Adjust volume to max so ringtone isn't too quiet.
2. Save the movie file (not the project) using the default options. I use the "High Quality Video (small)" preset for this. You should now have a WMV file.
3. We now have to convert the WMV file to a 3g2 file. This converter is free: Quick Media Converter Freeware (I can't post URL) by Cocoon Software. Change menu to English (default is French). In this program, click the icon of the phone and select the appropriate conversion setting (Video Mobile 3g2 -> 176x220 worked for me). Now click the blue folder with the green plus icon to the left to find your wmv file(s) to convert. These will appear in the list. Note which folder or directory the 3g2 file will be saved at. Then click the "start conversion" icon, wait, and voila! Put this file in the DCIM root folder of the SD card for your phone. You now have a ringtone or screensaver.
Another 3p2 free converter is Freez 3GP Video Converter.
Drag WMV file to converter or click on "Add." Pick "3GPP2" from the "File Format" dropdown.
Here's the settings I used for my LG Rumor. You can adjust the resolution for the Rant:
Video Settings
Video Code: MPEG4
Resolution:176x144 (176x220 for Rant?)
Width: 176
Height: 220
Video Quality: 8-Medium
Zoom Mode: Letterbox
Audio Settings
Audio Code: AAC-LC
Audio Bitrate: 48kBPS
Audio Frequency: 22050 Hz
Channels: Mono
*Note: Width and Height differ from the resolution and work with the LetterBox setting in order to create black bands above and below your actual video/picture content when displayed on the phone. If you leave Height set to 144 you will get white bands instead and it doesn't look as good.
After you adjust the settings, click the "Convert Now!" button to save your 3G2 file.
Copy the 3G2 file to your phone SD card.
