wouldn't it be a lot easier to port to the meego ce?

I for myself being angry at Nokia that they never _really_ tried to resolve said issue. I can live with some missed calls (just call the number back if they use CLIP), but dropped frames / entire segments and therefore ruined memories upset me. Especially since the N900 provides such a good audio recording quality (almost never distorts, not even in front of the speakers)...

Hello@ freemangordon. I would first like to thank you for taking so much for your time for kernel and 720P videos. I have few problems maybe you guys could help me out. I used to have kernel v48, speed patch + battery above that I flashed "zImage -900mhz' . Everything was running fine but as soon as I saw this post of watching 720p I couldn't resist so I downladed kernel v49 and followed the post of "installing through N900" instruction. I did everything but I didn't understand "Edit1 and Edit 2" part in your post. I skipped both the parts. Anyways, The test video is playing in Km, SIB player but not in Stock MP player error "Unable to play the format". If i try to run from xterm, I get the following error

"gst-launch-0.10 playbin2 uri=file:///home/user/MyDocs/test.avi
Setting pipeline to PAUSED ...
Pipeline is PREROLLING ...
create_node: dsp node create failed

"
As you could figure out from my name that I am noob so i would be highly oblige if you could help. I would like to share few more details in case it helps.

I downloaded kernal module, kernal power and kernal flasher. I did with dpkg method but somebody mentioned I shouldn't be doing this with dpkg command. Anyways, I haven't changed the config of kernel so it showing 500 mhz in conky. I am planning to change the config.
Whenever I try to mount usb now it says Insufficient power and doesn't mount my usb.
my google contacts and sometimes yahoo contacts don't appear at all in conversation.

I am willing to flash my N900 and redo everything if that takes to play 720p videos. If I have to redo everything then please guide me with simple step. SInce, I downloaded everything on my N900. I could see that 581MB exe file in my 'RX-71" folder. If could help me how to skip this 581 MB file . Plz guide me step by step.

P.S - Sorry for my bad english
Thanks a lot and good job

Another update:
I've been able to successfully run DSP driver from Harmattan. And while it don't have problems playing videos (including that H264 one which wumpwoast PM me) the recording stuttering still remains. And what makes me angry is that even 848x480 has some dropped frames.

So far the reason for stuttering:

- Is not the camera itself.
- Is not SD card or internal flash I/O (I've made a test pipeline with fakesink instead of filesink, no difference)

- Is not DSP or driver. I ran DSP at 700 Mhz , makes no difference. BTW looking at kernel Harmattan code it seems that 3630 DSP can run @ 870 MHz , but DSP driver clocks it up to 600. That is why n950 owners cannot play high profile H264 smoothly. And I really wonder what 3430 real limits are, because on my HW rev 2204 DSP runs @ 790 MHz without overvolting (i.e. at 60, which is stock Nokia voltage for 600MHz CPU clock). And it seems my previous statement that 790 Mhz is maximum limit for overclocking is incorrect, next CPU clock is 805, maybe DSP will run @ 805 and above too.

- Is not a lack of free memory. I've made a test dsmetool -k [hildon-desktop,hildon-home,...], resulting in about 60MB free memory @ start of the recording. No difference.

Next TODO is to run video recording under Meego CE to check how the things look there with newer kernel, camera driver and gstreamer.

P.S. I would really appreciate if someone helps me with at least some ideas where the problem could be, as I am running out of such.

EDIT: Is it possible someone with n950 to record a 720p video and attach a link here?

Yep, thanks, it is not my eyes, I am not worried anymore .
It is almost the same that happens on n900. Seems we have to wait for new firmware with fixed codecs
