What bitrate are you encoding the videos at and what resolution?

I've tried bitrates of 1500 down to 512 and all seem the same. Have tried resolutions of 800x480, 640x480 and 480x270 |

hmmm I don't have a X1 myself but 1.5mbit at 800x480 should work.
This is based on my uses of WM devices.
I have a 4 year old Ipaq HX4700 with a 600Mhz processor that has a VGA screen. It runs 1.5mbit fine via core player. The file is MP4 and was encoded with Nero using 2 passes, 25 keyframes.
It would be interesting to hear if anyone else has done some encoding.

Hi all,
For those of you that are still concerned about Video playback on the X1 as i have said before this was one of the things that X1 really impressed me with. As with properly converted material the results are nothing short of stunning IMO. I also don't really think there is any need to add a 3rd party player either as the built in player plays things perfectly.
Anyway i use a program called Movavi Video Converter 6 which i had already purchased and used with previous devices. All that is needed is to set up a custom profile and enter 800x480 as your custom settings and then the program enters all the other settings for you. If you want to try it you can download a trial version that will allow you convert 30% of a file to see how good it is. Below is my previous post with all the conversion settings that it produces.
I have converted an episode of Dexter and the Simpsons to 800x480 MP4 using Movavi Video Converter 6 which i use for all my conversions for the different devices i use.
The only difference between this and my Bold settings is the ratio it still converts the files to a default setting of
Video
800x480
25fps
698kbps
Audio
AAC Profile LC
198kbps
Sample rate 48,000
The files produced using these settings give full screen video with no black bars and the quality is excellent no stutter or lag and perfectly in Sync.
Video playback and Music playback where the two areas that i was most interested in seeing how the X1 performed and IMO it performs very well indeed and i am more than satisfied with the results from both.

Dogmann, do you play the videos that you convert using the above method through Media Player? Because when I convert a video to Mp4, it doesn't seem to even display the file on my phone  |

@Whybe ... strange how you didn't mention to read the comments. I'm curious of .Net 3.5/Ruby/Py60 (Python for S60) would reduce the code needed in both WM & S60 respectively.
EDIT: So news states X1a will be available next month 
http://www.boygeniusreport.co[....]a-hitting-best-buy-next-month/
The actual in stock date as of now is December 7th.

You need to download a program to edit the Registry. I recommend PHM RegEdit. Once you've installed it on your phone, you need to go into the editor and go to HKEY_Current_user, then Software, then Microsoft, then Inbox, then Settings, and finally select the OEM folder.
You will then see an option at the bottom called SMSInboxThreadingDisabled. You just need to change the value to 1 (should be 0 at the moment), restart the phone and it should disable the threading for you. |

I'm waiting for the X1a announcement and/or AT&T carrier before making my final decision of which version I'll have.
I never doubt about getting this phone because my logic is: If it works well for someone that means the people complaining are doing something wrong.

i dont understand you! if you so obsess with X1, get it now! y wait! u might be waiting for a long time!
just sell X1i on ebay if u need the USA version when available!

Thanks Netnerd, I feel special having a fan for my posts.
You barely know this neighborhood and already more than 10% of all your post are focus on me. Thanks.
If you haven't read all my previous posts let me tell how I am.
I know what I want,
When i want it
How i want it.
I hope that doesn't bother you too much.

You actually don't even have to restart the phone. Just make sure the SMS/MMS-application is not started when you do the change.
If you use Task Manager 3.1 you can close that application before changing the registry. Task Manager 3.1 is also quite good for registry editing in my opinion.
I only wish there were a way to use threaded messages while seeing the entire timestamp for all messages.
