When you guys play your converted video does it play vertical or horizontal on the SLVR's screen?

The videos i have done play horizontally, the actually video player footer eats up 1.5cm of screen so you end up with 2.5cm height & 3cm width. Some videos play with their original proportions within this, which aspec ration wise is correct but can be too small to be useful, i have found using the whole available screen area 176 x 144 (which can elongate face on close ups) to be my prefered choice.

That seems to small to actually watch a video and understand whats going on. Have you had any problems watching videos that way? ie Straining your eyes or have no idea whats going on in the video bc of the size.

Well the whole screen is only 176x220 pixels the video player footer eats up 44 pixels so you are left with 176x144 which isn't that bad. as long as your video fills all this area and isn't shrunk with black borders then video is really viewable. Basically if you record a video with the phone and it's set to high that's recording at 176x144 if you find that viewable then video converted and played back at that res will be fine and better as it will play back at 15 or so fps rather than 4 or 5 fps that the inbuilt video recorder records at.

well after a few attempts, it didnt turn out so well.
some movies ended up freezing after the first few seconds.
i got one video to work fine, it was a live song from aol sessions.
2 music videos were incorrectly sync'd, the song played normal but the video was off 1-2 seconds.
and when i tried to encode larger files 30+mins the phone said "outof memory"
this is using the 3gp default settings for mobile.

Hi there,
What you are reporting is pretty similar to what i was getting until i used the following settings:
Video codec : H.263
Image Size: 176x 144
Video bit rate: 64bit
Frame Rate: 15
Audio Codec: AMR
Sample rate: 8000 hz
Channels: mono
Also if you have a setting something like "Same Quality" make sure this is FALSE as otherwise it will override the settings you think you are using,
I have found the phone can play with much higher video & sound settings but not consistently it seems.
I've not seen the "out of memory" error and the max lenght i have done sofar is a movie of 1hr 35 mins which takes up 55mb or so, the max file size i have had is probally around 128mb and still not seen that message so to me it seems like a phone RAM limitation of somekind and not storage.
I'd say give those settings a try and see how you get on
Good luck,
|
