Whybe, you should realise by now, when OEM's say "DVD Quality" they really mean VGA resolution and just about the shittiest mp4 h.263 or 3gp codec they can find  They don't even consider framrate part of the equation... 
What about Nokia N95 and it's DVD Quality video recording They laughed all the way to the bank with that one...

^^^ OK...we live and we learn
I should know better, because the term CD quality is used to mislead people in the same way  |

I have had 2 E90s and 2 X1s and I don't recognise your views on the E90. After a number of FW upgrades its a wonderfuly quick device and much stable then the WM6.1 X1. I like both devices but I can't concur with you about the E90 being a failure. Please back-up your points with some reported figures please. As far my business colleagues are concerned the E90 is a device for business, no contest from any other Communicator. |

Hey all, is anyone else having problems with the media panel?... It's buggy as hell on my phone. I have a little over 1400 songs (about 6.7GB's of music) on a 8GB card, and 3 movies (2 short films on the phone's internal memory and one full feature film on the memory card at about 500MB). When I go to the movie panel only the 2 short films show up! If I go through the file explorer on the phone I can find it there and play it using WMP, but who wants to do that when the panel is supposed to do that. Anyone have any suggestions?
Also none of my photos that I transfered to the memory card in the My Pictures file show up in the slide show panel I downloadedl...
I'm beginning to think that the music player in the media panel pretty much has a mind of it's own. I bought this phone because I wanted to use it with my Sony Xplode car deck which has Stereo Bluetooth support built in to connect a stereo bluetooth featured phones or MP3 players. I've been using this same car deck for close to year now with my Nokia N95 8GB before this with NO PROBLEMS. When I now use it with my X1, the phone pretty much freaks out. Sometimes when I select a song and hit play it won't play the song I selected and instead goes straight to the Artist selection menu with a artist I was playing before high lighted and plays nothing, or sometimes it'll start playing a totally different song... The controls on the car deck which worked flawlessly on my N95 do not work at all on the X1, so I can't skip forward or backwards on/through songs or pause a song using the car deck's controls like I could on my N95! Sometimes the music is choppy, and once so far it just messed up and started playing a song in what sounded fast forward loudly! I had to grab the phone and skip the track, and when I got out of the car I found the tack and replayed it, only the file when played over my headphones sounded fine and was definitely encoded and transferred correctly to the phone. Sometimes songs sound super quiet, like the volume just went down. When I turn my car off and disconnect the car deck songs will start to play again on the phone over the speaker! All in all I kind of hate the Media panel and bluetooth implementation on the X1, and am annoyed I can't use it all the way I want to and thought it would function. The Bluetooth is seriously broken on this phone IMHO.
Also, why don't my playlist show up on the phone when I do a itunes transfer using the missing sync? Using Nokia's proprietary media transfer application with my N95 worked flawlessly and even gave me the playlist I had all of the songs in, is this the same with any of you Microsoft computer using owners that use active sync to transfer music?... About the problem with songs not playing right, does anyone think this may have something to do with the amount of songs I have installed on the memory card?... What happens when I put a 16GB card in it or a 32GB when those come out, which I plan on doing in the future, and put more of my music and videos on it?... It's already super slow switching songs as it is... Will this be worse with more of everything on a larger card?... I figured that the media player would be as good as Sony's Proprietary Walkman music playing software on any of their other phones, boy was I wrong.
Does anyone know where I can get a NES and GBA emulator cab file?....
-thanks
mike

Oh well at least it's not just me that gets misquoted then even the great Nokia do as if you check you will find no where did they say DVD quality. It was always and is near DVD quality and that was when they were talking about Video recording to @640x480 30fps all that time ago now on the N93.
@WhyBe
I really don't want to be a i told you so sort of person but think it would be very interesting if you re read some of the earlier posts on this thread. Where despite what i tried to explain you did insist the X1 was going to be the best at Video Playback and much better than the E90 which i believe you have now discovered isn't quite true. Again the Qualcomm processor may have a higher clock speed but when it counts the OMAP2420 with Power VR MBX graphics chip really is if not the best one of the best chips still currently used. Although i do wish they would hurry up and release some OMAP3 powered devices which IMO is well overdue.
But having said that i did convert quite a few things for the X1 using Movavi Video Converter 6 and the settings it gives are posted in this thread. The only setting i had to enter was the 800x480 and choose MPEG4 as file type the program generated the rest. As i have said previously i found the full screen results excellent with no lag or stutter or out of sync problems at all. This wasn't an area that i wasn't happy with the X1 far from it is true.

My only complaint is that I have to use such a low bitrate (384kbps) which is definitely not DVD level. The X1 video quality IS good at 384kbps though.
Anyways, I doubt if the E90 can play a 1500kbps 30fps VGA video either 
In my earlier posts, I was trying to get the point across to you that the E90 doesn't encode h.264 @ 30fps / VGA...you insisted it did. Whether the e90 plays video better than the X1 or not, I don't know but I'm quite pleased with the X1 video. I've never looked at an E90 playing video to compare. So the jury is still out on that one

Who cares, it's still a lie. They know that whether they say "near" or not the average punter just reads "DVD Quality". Fact is vga mp4 is no where near DVD quality. An average DVD runs at about 6MBps (and can run up to 10) and 720 x 576 resolution.
It's the same thing calling 128Kbps mp3 "near cd quality". What a joke.
Next time you watch a N93 video stream really ask yourself - "if I was watching this on a professionally recorded DVD, would I consider it "near DVD quality"? Wouldn't you feel just a little ripped of if you bought a movie on DVD and it had the quality of N93 recorded video?
N93 video can't even be compared favourably to a poor quality VCD let alone a fulll quality DVD. I don't understand how people can propogate, let alone believe, these marketing lies.

HI! Put your tones in the big windowsfile (root of it) Not in rings. It worked for me. Then you will find your tones for sms. |
