So I just installed OS2008 on my N800 and it looks great!! I got a few apps going as well. Skype, Canola2, and they work great.

But how do I get my DivX movies to play? You'd think that with the new OS out that they'd have a fix for that since I could play DivX on the OS2007.

Does anyone know how to get the DivX avi's to work?

I use this function a lot as I am always on the road for work. I spend much time in the air and in airports, so my N800 is GREAT. Watch movies on the plane and surf the internet in airports.

Please Help!

Thanks!!

you'll probably want mplayer for those. extras-devel has it.

hey Konttori!...any hints about how to play the .mp4 videos created by Nokias video converter using Mplayer??....can't get them to play!

Thanx!

I second jackass124's comment. i can get converted videos to play on the bundled media player, but ukmp, mplayer and canola2 get all choked up on them. i wouldn't mind using a different converter (long as it's free and works on vista). any suggestions?

mplayer is currently optimised for DivX-style AVIs containing MP3 audio. AAC encoded audio, often found with .mp4 files, will not work well with mplayer.

They should play back well in the built-in player. Your converter options boil down to:

* Nokia Internet Tablet Video Converter - MP4 video, AAC audio, .mp4 container. Media Player and Canola.
* everything else (...) - DivX/Xvid/MP4-style video, MP3 audio, .avi container. All media players.
