Could anybody tell me how to play videos on the P990 ? I suppose they need to be downloaded from the PC . What format will the phone take ? Do they need to be ripped from a DVD onto the PC first ? Can anybody give some examples which I can download from the web in order to get some experience with how it works ?
Thanks |

P990i supports many video formats, mainly MP4 and 3GP. These videos are widely available on the internet. If you want to convert your own videos then software is also available on the net like Mpegable, Super etc, just type in MP4/3GP converter in Google.
Hope that helps!

i convert dvd/videos to ipod format using the PQ dvd converter, originally for my ipod but it also works well for the M600, great and fast quality the sound is even in sync!... assume it would be the same for the P990? It's worth a try. I use the same settings as for Ipod so i can transfer files betwwen ipod and M600. The good thing is you can play the dvd fast forward etc until you reach a point were you want to start to rip and then stop it when you like. Although with the trial version you can only rip up to 5-7 mins, which i find great for short clips, music videos etc, there are no markings on the output file either so it's clean.. At the moment I still use the trial version, as 5-7 min clips is fine for me. As good as the quality is i'm not sure if i could watch say a 1 hour movie on a small screen anyway. The full version i think is $35
Free trial you can get.. type in google 'pq dvd' or heres a link

Because,
PQ dvd converter allows you to view/fast forward the file and select a specific start point rather than have to rip the whole file...
rips dvds direct from the drive or any section on the dvd you choose
No settings to adjust for ipod/m600
user friendly for those who are not so technically minded |

Mpegable is not bad either, can do whatever part of the clip you like and you can make the screen change formats like 4.3 to 16.9 etc.

whilst on the video issue ive noticed a serious lag time when playing Mp4 videos (about 2mins worth b4 it starts playing)by any standards that is very slow .3gp on the other hand is okay and once its playing its top notch plus great screen |

there are various posts on this issue. use SM Pro and close the Media player.
So just navigate to the Media player, select the Video. Then Using SM Pro, kill the Media player. Then within SMPro choose the Video to return and selct your movies.

Most videos i have only take 20 secs max to star playing...never got one that took 2 minutes...
I think it depens of what encoding method/settings were used |
