Just a thought, I have a K750i and wondered how many of you actually watch a full movie on your phone.
Even a half hour episode?
Say you get through 25 minutes and then have to stop watching... you wouuld have to fast forward through 25 minutes to get to the same part.
How do you do it? Do you guys split the film into 15 minutes chunks or something?

we all have watched full movies with our K750. the trick is that you just have to have a bigger memory stick.. like 258, 512MB or maybe even 1G to work with your phone. and you can do that by re-encoding your fav movie to fit the K750, coz your phone has its certain limitations in playing videos (i.e. frame rate, bit rate, screen size etc etc).
how do we do it? eeerrr to get you starting... why not do extensive reading.. which will help you alot.. you can visit this site. and no! we dont chop movies like lambs... poor movies... we can take em whole...
cheers mate... this forum has alot instore to keep you going, you just need to do some researchin... let yer fingers do the walkin..

Since my P800 has a limited 64 MB card, I am already satisfied with some 'chopped' movie clips (3gp format) downloaded on this site some were given by Ciberknight! I wonder what's the files size of watching an entire DVD movie in a memory card
More than 1GB is required I surmise?

a dvd quality movie can't be played in the K750. The resolution is too high. Plus it would need to be encoded into mp4 or 3gp format, at 3gp resolution.
Then it will play fine, but a whole movie in 3gp resolution is maximum 200MB, so you can fit 5 movies on a 1GB card

@max - Looks like a 200 MB file size for a whole movie is small mate (3 gp format)
Have you tried it in your K750?
Posted by max_wedge
200MB is small for a dvd quality movie yes, but a DVD movie is very high quality and about 8 times the resolution of 3GP.
However a DVD movie encoded into 3GP format for the K750 is only about 100-200MB (usually about 150MB). That is pretty standard and yes I have watched a couple. Likewise a half hour tv episode is about 20-40MB

Just as a bit of info....
The file size of a movie is directly proportional to the bit rate and resolution. As the bit rate and resolution of a movie being played on your phone needs to be much lower (Smaller screen, slower processor thus less frames per second and lower bitrate), this means a whole movie, which at full resolution can be encoded to around 700mb, would easily be re-encoded to 200mb and look fine on a screen the size of a your phone.
Oh, and .3gp/.mp4 and the file formats most phones use for video.

a whole movie at 700MB is much less the quality of an uncompressed dvd of 3GB or more.
Posted by dazbradbury
Yes, but a DVD encoded properly can look pretty much perfect on most monitor resolutions. And most well-encoded moveis tend to be 700mb or 1400mb. Either way, no where near the size of an uncompressed DVD.
This is the point about compression that i'm trying to put across...
Posted by max_wedge
Sorry, just being pedantic.
You are quite correct a 700MB can look fine (although I'd prefer 1400 ) and the compression is true - a DVD needn't be encoded at ful res and bitrate - it all depends on the display you will be using and the processor that will be outputting the image to the display.

if you really want to achieve DVD quality better play it on a portable DVD player... if you want to play that on yer phone youll hafta mainly sacrifice the quality next to screen size... its a phone were talking here... let em be one.
the best we can do is re-encode to a file decent for phone viewing... its all there is. but i dunno about you guys but watching movies on a smalll screen aint that good... makes me dizzy...
cheers!

I mainly watch half hour sitcoms or music videos. Movies aren't highly practical.

Has anyone here 'ever' converted movies taken from the 'old' Laser Discs (LD), the one which did not much prosper in the later 80's till early 90's to 3gp files or even MP4s which fill FIT mobile fone screens
I know that the LDs has the CLEAREST video quality images, far much better than the DVDs . . .

The Question was HOW TO FAST FORWARD, 90 min movie ???
I watch movies with subtitles (Yes, subtitles are readable, and you don't need magnifier) but i have problems, when i want to go to the middle of the movie, and have to FF 5 minutes.

What keranov is getting at, is that yes you can fast forward, but the fast forward is so slow that it takes a good five minutes of fastforwarding to get to the middle of the movie. There is no answer to this - that's the limitation of the movie player. There is no "goto" function.

"How do you guys watch a full movie".
from a dvd, on a tv
Posted by bbjuju
I tried that.
First converting the whole 2-hr movie to a 200mb mp4 file. It didn't work well because one can't sit still and watch the movie for 2 hours non-stop and if it's stopped in the middle (which always happens), need to rewatch it again or press the ff button for several minutes.
Then, I converted the movie into 5 smaller files (25 minutes per file) and that works better but still the fast forward thing is cumbersome.
I wonder whether somebdoy can develop a better video player which can save where the film stop last time and can do a better ff function and even can screen chapters...

Im not sure i you can forward and rewind movies. I couldnt do it with my w800. Anyway i have saw2 the full film, its 112MB.
There is a program though caled DVD to MOBILE. Its made specifically for the p900 and basically rips DVDs straight into 3gp format in 20 minute chunks. However i prefer to make them into better quality mp4 clips so i take the raw mpeg file as its riupping and just convert it myself. Hey presto !
