Converting Videos using NOKIA VIDEO MANAGER

Hi Folks
Just recievd my N95 Phone
Very pleased. Been reading about and it says the movie format supported on the NOKIA phone is MPEG4.
Ok np there.
I have a HDD (hard disk drive) Camcorder with some movies on there which are watchable on my PC.
I loaded one of these into the NOKIA VIDEO MANAGER application and it said it converted it (to MPEG4) and transferred it to my PC ok.
However when I watch it on there , i get sound but no picture ?
Does this NOKIA VIDEO MANAGER woork ?
It must see my orinial mpeg ok as it go through the conversion process ?
I would apreciated if someone can give me some advice.
Hoem OS IS Vista Home
Cheers
Jimmy

Hi jguilffoy
For more information on this suject type "N95 mp4 video" into "Search Discussions" at top right of your screen.
An authority on this subject is "professor" el_loco as it can depend upon bitrates and codecs to plays atisfactorily
There are software applications to make conversion easier:

This is FREE requiring JRE but download link is a bit of a pain to find on website!

How to rename converted AAC filename using Nokia M...

I'm using Nokia 3110. I encounterd some issue about the mp3 music fail to playback due to require activation code on my Nokia 3110 phone. I managed to overcome the activation code problem by using Nokia Music Manager. I just do not understand why this issue happen??? Because some of the songs from the same CD album do not have this activation code issue. FYI. I purhcase original CD.
Second issue i'm still figuring is about how to rename AAC song as per my desire. The default file name after converted to ACC using Nokia Music Manager is 01-.AAC. I did try to rename it using Nokia Music Manager. But, once it downloaded to the phone. It still display the "original" file name, which is 01-.AAC. Please assist.
Third issue is about the album information. How does Nokia Music Manager categories or get the "correct" album information? Some of the song name is incorrect after downloaded to the phone.
from Music Lover

Not come across the activation code issue at all.
To stop the track number appearing in the file name:
- open Music Manager (Transfer music option in PC Suite)
- click Options .. Settings
- unset the "Add track number to the file name when ripping content from CD" option
You'll have to re-rip all your music again, though.
If you don't want to do this, I'm sure there are tools around that will let you edit the track information in the file - try a search on this board or google.

Nokia Music Manager shuts down immediately after o...

Hi again, the music manager still shuts down straight away even after i've uninstalled and reinstalled the latest version. I have no idea why!
pc suite version: version 6.83.14.1
connectivity cable drivers: 6.83.9.0
solution : 7.7.10.0
Right now I'm unable to upload or organise any music because it shuts down immediately.
Thanks

Your best solution is to use some other tool to rip the music, then use File Transfer (USB mass storage) to drag and drop. It's much faster than using PC Suite.
i-Tunes allows you also to rip into AAC (m4a) and that works with N91.
I've tested WMP 9 and WMP10 (now beta testing WMP11) and they all work differently but work with N91 (both WMA and MP3 formats)
WInamp also rips into formats that are supported in N91.
If you don't want to pay for the encoder, use Audiograbber. It's great for Mp3
Is there a reason why you want to use Nokia Music Manager?

N95 Nokia Music Manager M4A "noises"

I use Nokia Music Manager 2.o to convert to M4A format and play on a N95 (firmware 20.0.0.15).
The settings are: M4A,56 kbps,automatic tempo calculation.
The sound is good enough for me, but some random annoyng "blitzs" occur.
If I use other kind of conversion, for instance, AAC,128kbps, the "blitzs" dont appear.
What`s wrong with M4A format??

Hi harryp
And I really thought already that i am the only one having this problem. But you learnt me better, thanks ;-)
To solve the problem I even deinstalled the program, set back the computer and deleted everything connected to the music manager in the registry. I just tried everything I know about in computing. As it still couldn´t convert the music files a second time I contacted Nokia Helpline. They confirmed that files can be converted only once, the reason why I still don´t know.
After weeks of trying I gave up and took my CD´s to convert directly from them. That worked, even that is exactly the same music as I got on my computer. In the meantime I assume it might be because of copy protection.
You said you can´t hear a big difference between the two formats. Well, I could. Otherwise I would have done the same as you, but the aac files just sounded too compressed, it was really far from the original. The reason might be better headphones I used with the N95 than the original ones.
Now I still got MP3 files on my computer of wich I haven´t any CD´s. Now I can transfer them as MP3 files which requires a lot space or convert them to the normal aac format which sounds awful. Last possible solution: I download the same songs from internet and try to convert them. Hope that works.
If ever anybody comes up with a solution to the mentioned problem, please post it right here!!!
Good luck!
PS: Nokia, please make a second convertion possible or give a reason why it doesn´t work at least.

Can i use nokia video manager for converting video...

Can i use nokia video manager for converting videos will this support n79

Only be aware that Nokia video tools only work for videos that are not longer than 35 minutes.
Also the quality is not very good, you can get better results from other encoders.
Lastly they are Really slow compared to other tools available.

Problems converting video using Nokia PC Suite for...

I bought an unlocked Nokia 6300 and have tried to move videos from my desktop to my phone through the Nokia PC Suite. I have upgraded the firmware on my phone to 5.00 (latest update available according to the Nokia updater program). When I try to transfer videos through the PC Suite, it converts the video file to MP4, which apparently is not supported on my phone. There is no option to convert to 3GP format through the PC Suite, which is the only format I have gotten to work using a 3rd party program.
Anyone have a solution to the issue?

Hi zlandar,
Nokia Video Manager's (NVM) work is to convert the supported video files into .mp4 format. So NVM is doing its job withoug any fail. Its your handset 6300 which doesnot support the .mp4 file SO its better you can look for some 3rd party genuine video converter which will do the needful to you Have a great day
Forum correct me if i am wrong

Nokia Video Manager - Upside down and back to fron...

Have been trying to convert some avi(DivX) files to watch on my N95 using the Nokia Video Manager. Converts the files fine and all but they are upside down and back to front??? Have seen that a few people on the net have had the same problem but have not seen a solution to or reason for the problem.
Anyone have any ideas?

I am using
XP service pack 1
Firmware version 10.0.018 (although this is not the problem as it plays upside down and back to front on my PC as well)
All languages are English
The file was a DivX copy of a DVD, I'm not sure which program I used to convert it but all my video files are doing this. Can you suggest a file from the internet which you know to work that i can download and see if it still does the same thing?
Cheers

Problem with Nokia Video Manager - No video, only ...

Hi all,
I have a problem with nokia video manager. I have been converting movies to mp4 and watching with my cell phone for a while now. But all the videos I have converted were less than 30 min. long.
When I tried to watch a video longer than 36 minutes, the picture froze some time around 36th minute and only the sound continued to play. I have tried several other videos with similar lenghts and all seem to freeze at the same exact point. The player continues to play the sound after picture freezes.
Could someone please help ???
Regards

Nokia Video Manager 1.5 does not install!

According to the download page of Nokia Video Manager 1.5 (http://europe.nokia.com/A4370009), the program should run under Windows XP Professional x64 Edition.
I have downloaded the program and give it a try on Windows XP x64, however, I get the following error during installation:
[!] The operating system is not adequate for running Nokia Video Manager.
Is there a way I can get the program running under Windows x64?

Ha ha ha, you are askin bout super preset, many times ago a young person was asked to make a sticky video thread but he was so lazy, he could not make it.
For MP4 solution the most common preset is:
29.97 FPS (Depends on the phone)
1.5 MBPS>384 KBPS.
320*240 pixel rez.
Most importantly, when you hit the FAQ page on the product page of any nokia website just ask or type the video encoding and a very useful (tho' quite long) topic will appear.
I learnt a lot from that one.

Nokia Video Manager (PC program)

I wanted to make use of Nokia Video Manager program to make an own Video available for my Nokia N95 8GB. Does any one knows whether their is a Nokia Video Manager program available for the Nseries and where I can find that one?
I do find a Video Manager for non-Nseries phones and I downloaded that one, however it says during installation that it requires a PC Suite version 6.83.0 or higher. The latest Nokia NSeries PC Suite however is version 6.80.0 and the general Nokia PC Suite for non-Nseries phones is not compatibel with the N95 8GB.
Who can help me?

Try do the convertion with Super - eRightSoft. For me it´s the best convert araoun (it´s free).

Nokia Video Manager doesn't show video after 35min...

I think this has been posted before, but does any1 have a solution for this yet? Whenever the converted MP4 file reaches 35mins 45sec, the video freezes for a few seconds on the phone, the screen goes black, but the audio continues. I am using Nokia Video Manager to convert AVI files to MP4. I'm using version 1.5.20, which i believe is the latest version of the video manager software. I have tried 3 or 4 different AVI files, so the problem is not the original file, which is viewable on the PC without any problems. I have a Nokia 6210 Classic phone.
Any help will be kindly appreciated.
Thanks.

Don't shoot AVCHD Lite. If you are going to shoot that then you'll need to use iMovie to edit and process it.

N95 8GB Video Manager "NOT CONVERTING"

My NSeries Video Manager for N95 8GB does not seem to be able to convert any video file. What's exactly happening is that after I've searched a folder and found the video files, whatever video type I choose (whether it's an .avi, or.mpg or.mov file) and select "convert and trasfer to phone" I get a message saying some of the video or audio codecs needed for converting are missing and that I should check the log file for more info. The funny thing is I can watch all those videos I've found with VideoManager, I just cannot convert them with it. What's my problem? Am I missing any codecs, and if yes where can I find them for downloading?

You can be missing codecs, but what I experienced with Video Manager is that it is very buggy. If you know how to use ffmpeg, you simply do not need Video Manager and can convert videos to H.264 formats fast.
I use the following parameters with ffmpeg:
ffmpeg -y -i "$input" -s 320x240 -async 1 -vcodec libx264 -b 200k -maxrate 384k -bufsize 384 -coder 0 -level 13 -acodec libfaac -ab 128k -threads 2 "$output"
Replace $input and $output with the input and output file paths respectively. Please be reminded that the ffmpeg version should support x264, otherwise it will not convert. After successful conversion, the file can be played by built-in RealPlayer.

Nokia Video Manager

Anybody having problems with the Nokia Video Manager?
I can't convert any of my AVIs to MP4 and when I try I get the message:

See the log file for more information."
And I don't even know where the log file is!
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
My info:

This app converted my video files just fine(i have .mov, .wmv and .avi videos on my PC).
Have you tried other videos that .avi? Does the video manager play the original file?
