hi all,
i´ve noticed that i can´t play any divx or avi videos; i ve been trying one of 1.2 gb large and it goes jumping and jumping the frames all the time, is there a program that plays an avi or divx normally like mi palm treo or my psp??

do i need to convert it to another format accepted without losing video quality?

Mplayer can decode videos at reduced resolution, which greatly improves performance. Any video player that uses mplayer as a backend should also be capable of the same.

i doubt the treo or psp can play a 1.2gb large avi (im assuming it's high res), in fact i had to transcode my videos to mp4 if i wanted then to play properly on my psp..

the popular 700mb dvd rips (616x336@23fps) work fine with mplayer on the n800. if you want the best performance, use mplayer solely, without a frontend.

See my sig for a tool that will let you drag/drop files into it and create output that's optimized for N8xx viewing.

iliaden and I created a script a while back that tries to auto-detect the best resolution to play a video in then plays it with mplayer.

if you want you can get it here then invoke it with:

mplayer-opt <filename>

A 1GB avi movie file can be compressed to 400mb without losing quality, I use N800 Video Convert without any problems and using the built-in media player.

thanks to all; i`m trying n800 video converter now.

This is clearly not a factual statement, as reducing quality is basically what compression does with video.

What you mean to say is, "you can compress a 1GB movie down to 400MB with acceptable quality loss".

Well... the perceptible quality loss is probably null because of the resolution of our screens

I believe that's what he meant by his statement

That's still not exactly correct. Our screens are very high resolution, more than twice the resolution of your average LCD monitor. Perhaps a better way to say it would be, "the perceivable quality loss is very low because of the small size of our screens."

Sorry for the nitpicking...
