Converting videos
 

i find myself wondering what's the largest resolution you can have that can be played on n900. it seems to be a mixed bag. sometimes i can play a 720 res video but unable to play a 480 res video file with the same format.

what do you guys use for converting it. currently have a total video converter for my conversions

I tend to use ffmpeg, or derivatives there of. Handbreak being a good example.

nice. currently testing other res and formats

I've two more suggestions:

1) For default mediaplayer, Install decoders-support
2) Instead of default mediaplayer, try SiB and change to mplayer core.

It may save a lot of effort in conversion.

Hope this help.

mplayer doesn't use any acceleration yet though does it?

I find mpeg4 in an mp4 container to work best. And if your source material is 16:9 then 800:448 retains all the picture, with letter box formatting.

The wiki is helpful with this stuff.

No it doesn't, but it works just fine for most. I may need to enable frame skipping for some rvmb movies though.

You can check this link (Some video-playback tests on N900) for a few playback tests. See how it works for you.

If you are on Linux, I would suggest using mencoder for decoding.

currently having problems with playing mp4 files recorded by my device. already tried kmplayer and sib as well but my phone still says it doesnt support it.

i can reset ithe phone to play it but after a few minutes it reverts back to file unsupported. this only happened just now. and it feels so stupid for a phone to unable to play it's own recorded video files
