It doesn't seem to play all .3gp/.mp4/.avi video files... How do you convert .flv videos to work on the C905?

use m3 its the best choice to convert different file types so they run on your phone
also you may try
jet audio
and super© converter
these are other applications highly recommended
lataz and good lux

Just be careful when using M3 for C905. All my movies for K800 are unplayable by C905. With M3 use h264 for video and not mpeg4, that will work. Other converters, such as Super, yield playable videos with mpeg4 codec though. I have also observed pretty bad picture lagging on many of my converted movies when using C905, while some of them play fine.

The MPEG4 standard defines 21 profiles of which C905 only supports the Simple Profile. Likewise, the standrad for H.264 defines around 14 profiles of which C905 only supports the Baseline profile. When converting videos into MPEG4 or H.264 ensure your tool is configured to use a correct profile.

Beside profiles one also needs to consider what "level" of the standard C905 supports. For H.264, the standard defines 16 levels for each profile. Each level describes things like max bit rate. I have not found any explicit info about this for C905, but with what I know C905 should be capable of supporting level 1.2, which corresponds to 384 kBit/s. If you use MPEG4 rather than H.264, then level 3 should be used.

In the above, I'm not sure if C905 supports levels below those stated. One would think it should, but considering Hansen failed to play videos made for K800, who knows.

FYI: K800 seems to support MPEG4 Simple Profile Level 0 and H.264 Baseline Profile Level 1b (128 kBit/s).

It should be noted that H.264 is actually part of the MPEG4 standard. When refereing to MPEG4, this usually implies part 2 of the standard and when refereing to H.264, this usually implies part 10 of same standrad.

That's all info I have found.

Thanks everyone!

Xvid encryption works good on super converter
