Video files

Because Lord Dextro cares for all of you, here are some files to steer you in the right direction. Still trying to find the right format though.

  ...download all three files, and follow directions before installing anything.

Of course Lord Dextro tests everything before he posts it, and this is no exception. So from Lord Dextro to you, hope this helps.

Why NOt start a thread to list converted movies and find a site to store them. Then post the links so that everyone can download if they want and watch it on their N97

If everyone did this we would have a great library of movies.

try prism video conveter it wrks 4 me jus fine but u gotta change the output setting to fit da n97 aspect ratio nd da frame rate u prefare depanding on da size of da file , i tend to use 30f/s for short files nd 23f/s fo full length movies

I use ANY VIDEO CONVERTER....its works really great...copy videos or movies to phone with file manager in PC suite...copy's real fast.

I use Any Video Converter. It is completely free and without any limitations.

Video Options:
Video Codec: xvid/mpeg-4 (both will work fine)
Video Size: 640x360
Video Bitrate: 1024 (this is about 8,2 MB per min and a full length movie is 700-800 MB. Use a lower bitrate if you want a smaller filesize but I personally recommend 1024)
Video Framerate: Auto

Audio Options:
Audio Codec: aac
Audio bitrate: 96
Sample Rate: 44100
Audio Channel: 2

It will work with any format and codec that your computer will play and the quality on the device is simply amazing. Good luck

Hi!

I have tryed to convert 5 diferent files now in 2 diferent programs and the
same thing keept happening;

When I try to start the movieclip in my Nokia N97 I get a message saying
that it cant play both video and music.....so I only get the music and not any picture :-(

What am I doing wrong?

Please help me!!

 Juki, They are basically the same format, with 3GP being pushed a little more for mobile devices, it mainly uses different audio codecs and usually a lower bit rate for easier playback.

MP4's compression rate is more powerful which uses mpeg4 compression. Normally 3GP uses H263/H264 video compression.

3gp files can(should only) store Mpeg4 SP,H263 video and aac or amr audio. The newer AVC/H264 and HE-aac might be better to handle additional codecs.
3GP files have no IOD or BIFS/OD track.

MP4 files can store Mpeg1/2 video, Mpeg4 ASP, AVC/H264 and (HE)aac and mpeg 1 Layer II/III.

So in the long run I would play around with both and see which you prefer. I hope this helps you more than confuses, I try not to get in depth on video, since inside the compartments there lays a very steep learning curve, which I have spent years on, so to explain every detail is not possible. I also have not as of yet even put a video on my phones, (the psp yes but not my phones) so I haven't tried either on the phone, another reason I don't answer many of the problems of the video nature.

I have tried converting videos in super and any video convertor and both do so successfully but when I copy them in to the video folder it goes blank when i click on video & TV

Any ideas?
