I'm using HandBrake to convert my videos from MKV to MP4 first, with a resolution of 216 × 134 pixels, a variable bitrate, constant quality set to RF 20, and the audio track set to AAC Mono at 128 kbps. After that, I convert the file with FFmpeg using the following terminal command on macOS:
What works even better for me is adding the quality parameter (-q:v) and setting it to 1, which noticeably increases overall sharpness. For most videos, setting it to 2 should be fine as well. Also there is a volume parameter (-af "volume=[val]dB") which might come in handy:
Interestingly, setting the audio sample rate to 20 kHz works just as well as 10 kHz, and my TinyTV 2 still plays it without any issues. I thought higher sample rates weren't supported, but it seems like they are!
