'My Video' and 'Video' folders?? (N95 8GB)

what's is different between My Video and Video folders? only difference is that when I copy a video file into Video folder, I can see that video file in Image&Video menu under gallery. and if the file is located in My Video, then I can't see that in Image&Video folder. Only I can see that file in video center. Now I prefer to keep video files in My Video, cuz I don't like to see Image files and Video files together in Image&Video menu. can I delete the video folder and keep My video only?

You can keep your videos where you want without any ill effects.
Different apps may expect different default locations, as evident also by your description of "Gallery" vs. "Video Center" behaviour. Both of those coming from Nokia should, IMO, use the same folders, but apparently don't.

Playing Youtube video on N95 8gb

Hi, did anyone know how to play a youtube videos on n95 8 gb Version 30. I did try but i can't see any picture or sound but i see a error says, video streaming server timed out on the screen.
thanks

i searched for an answer for ages here it is!!
just to let people know for a fact what to do and to thank vishnu as his answer is the one!!! its definatly this....
(read to end for slight alternate way)
vishnu on 21 September 2008:
Hi,
I was having the same problem.
I fixed mine though.
It is down to the rtsp (real time streaming protocol)port which is 554.
If you set on your mobile
lowest udp port:6970
Highest udp port:6999
Then on your home router set up port range triggering/fowrding so that
port (554 to 554) is forwaded to port (6970 to 6999)
to find port fowarding/trigger you need to type your router ip adress into your webbrowser adress bar its usually 192.168.1.1 or 192.168.0.1
if you go to start then run and type cmd the enter when the black box apears (dos prompt) type ipconfig then enter. this will tell you your router address if you do not know it!
Also i only needed to specify a single port i.e 544 i did not need to put 544 -544 but some poeple will.
Also i used this range 6970 - 32000
this means your phones original settings will work fine!!! aslongs as proxy is off lol but i think that has been stated enough!! the main thing is the port forwarding on your router!!!

Pictures in folders N95 8GB

Hi,
N95 8GB.
I have some photos on my phone that I would like to file away so that if my kids pick up phone and go to the gallery they cannot see them.
Is there any way of putting these pics into a folder that does not show when the gallery is opened??
Thanks for looking,
Dave

Download a file called x-plore or y-browser. You can get it by searching in google. Install it and set the attributes of the file to hidden.

Putting Video onto N95 8GB

I have tried to put an .avi file onto my phone using the nokia video manager but it just said converting video and didn't finish. I left it overnight just in case it was really slow but in the morning it was still in the same spot. i then tried to convert it and send it to the pc rather than straight to phone in case that worked but still no luck.
any ideas on how to get the video manager working or what settings i can use to convert myself as i can use Super converter. also if i convert it myself, how do i put it into the video folder on the phone?

Nokia N95 CAN read AVI files all you need is the right software.
Try:
CorePlayer http://coreplayer.com/
DivX Player http://www.divx.com/mobile/
SmartMovie (just google it)
I don't recommend Nokia Video Manager if you have long clips (over 30 min long) since it will fail.
See my blog and posts here:

Do we need to install coreplayer in the phone ? OR N-95 can read AVI directly ?.

Why two places for videos? (N95 8gb)

Why do i have two places for videos?
If I bluetooth myself a video and save it it goes into gallery. What if I want it in My Videos instead how do I move it? And i only want to see the video in My Videos and not in the gallery as well?
Also when I do a memory search it doesnt show the videos in My Videos up..
P.S what does the little sheild mean next to some videos?

There's a program called "File Manager" that lets you move/copy and delete files from your device. It's usually under Tools.
If you put videos in "My Videos" folder I think they don't show up in the Gallery. Also files in "Videos" don't show up in Video Center but they do in the Gallery.
What do you mean "memory search"?,
About the little shield, I have no idea what it means. I guess it's about the DRM protection, but I'm not 100% sure.

Plan route on PC and upload to N95 8GB

I want to plan a route on my PC (on Google maps for example) and upload this pre-planned route onto my N95 for navigation. Is there a way to do this?
Thanks
Message Edited by skillo on 09-Jul-2008 02:17 PM

Actually, I forgot to mention that you can actually set waypoints in Nokia Maps by using "Add to Route". If you add enough waypoints along the route then you are kind of forcing Nokia Maps to take that particular route.
I know it is a long winded way of doing it but it will do what you want
That Maps on Ovi sounds interesting. Must have a look.

American owner of the n95 8gb...

If you live in the U.S. and own a n95 8gb could you please reply to this or message me because I have some questions I would like to ask you. Thanks.

yeah that would be a good idea huh?... Alright I was wondering how the internet compared to the iphone?.. I'm asking b/c I've used an iphone's internet and think it is quite slow. I know the n95-2 will be on an EDGE network like the iphone, but is it as slow? And also, I've heard that the n95 8gb isn't covered under warranty by nokia if it is used in the U.S. b/c it isn't a U.S. model. I've emailed nokia asking about this and they keep asking me to enter and IMEI number (or something like that). If you have a n95 8gb and live in the U.S. could you just clear these things up for me?

N95 8GB and Spiderman 3 video

According to this press release, there is a full-length Spiderman 3 movie. I have bought 4 units of N95 8GB and none has spiderman movie.
How do we get it?

My sources tell me that the Spiderman 3 movie was only available to some markets.
The file is DRM protected (see link that korngear provided) so it cannot be copied and played on another device.
The movie itself is Pan&scan to fit the 4x3 aspect ratio of the screen. And the version I saw was in English with English subtitles but I'm not sure if this is different in each country, maybe each country has it's own language subtitiles.
Just one question loco:
what was the video specs?
I mean the bitare, FPS, etc and is it possible to encode Spidey 3 better than that one?
You know my PSP encode

Nokia N95 8GB Album Art and Album Folders Issue

I have been hunting for for a resolution for two issues with the N95 8GB Media Player all over the web.
1. Adding artwork (CD Covers) to audio tracks (or albums) seems to be at best hit and miss. Most of the time it just does not work.
2. Deleting an album delete all the tracks but deleting the album folder seems almost impossible.
Well this weekend I decided to try to solve this and I think I may have hit upon a solution.
Since so may people have the same problem I thought it worth repeating. I would stress this has not been exhaustively tested but it does work reliably so far.
I am using Nokia Music Manager 2.0. The fix is simply to convert the files to AAC rather than to M4A (which is the default). After this simple change everythig worked find for me. I can add and delete albums from Nokia Music Manager 2.0 (don't forget to refresh on the phone afterwards) AND reliably add Album Artwork.
So here is how I have been working.
1. Set the conversion format to AAC. I have been using 'Ultra high' quality setting. Options Menu >> Setting >> Conversion Tab.
2. Next put in a CD, select all the tracks and choose copy to my collection.
3. While this is going on I find the artwork on the Web. A simple Google Image search with the album title and artists last name / band name seems pretty 100% to get the on the first page. Download image to My Documents / My Pictures.
4. Once the CD Rip is complete they will all appear in My Collection. I select all the tracks in my collection for the album in question, and then right click on one of them and select Edit.
5. I then attach the Album Artwork by clicking on the blue folder and choosing it from my, MY Pictures folder.
6. Finally select Copy to Phone from the File Menu.
This has worked for me so far 100% and I have done 20 or so albums.
NOTES:
To get Nokia Music Manager 2.0 I uninstalled the version of Nokia Phone Suite that came with my phone and went to
http://europe.nokia.com/A4144905I (or seach Google for "nokia phone suite"
I chose the N95 8GB downloaded and installed. At some point shortly after install Phone Suite informed me that there were updates available and Nokia Music Manager 2.0 was one of these.
I was originaly using this and suffered all the problems you guys have. After searching the web and finding no solution I decided to do some experimenting.
Hope all this helps.
PS If you need to delete all your legacy album folders, this is the fix I found on this same site. You can do this at any time.
1. Enable the option to be able to see Hidden Files and Folders in your Windows Explorer.
2. Connect your n95 8gb to your computer and choose data transfer mode.
3. Go to My COmputer >> Nokia Phone Browser >> Nokia N95 8GB >> Memory Card E:
3. If you have selected Show Hidden Files and Folders (see 1) you should see a folder called Private.
4. In the Private folder you need to delete the contednts of three folders
\private\101FFC31 (mpxv1.mpd and pcv5.mpd)
\private\101f8857\Cache
\private\101ffca9
In all the 3 folders delete all the files Not the FOLDER
Next time you restart the music player it will rebuild the indexes without the deleted albums folders.
Hope this helps someone. It restored my sanity.

Album Art
Basically there are two methods
Method 1.
You do it on the phone. Load the album art pictures to the memory card. (Must be JPEG NOT BMP)
Load also the music files.
Open Music application in the phone. Open an album then select Options->Album art then Options-> Add, browse for the picture and select Ok.
Repeat for each ALBUM
Method 2.
You do it on the PC.
Get a Tag editing software like Tag&Rename, WINAMP, etc.
Edit the files Metadata to include Album Art picutres (again they should be jpeg and also they should be set as Cover Front).
Transfer the files that have Album Art using File transfer (usb mass storage) don't use MTP or PC Suite as these methods may convert the files and Album Art will be lost.
Or you can continue using your Method

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.

LED lights are usefull upto 2 feet. I have N-93i and the LEDs do not produce enough light to make a decent clip. It is better to have a small 100W small video light running on slung battries.

Can N95-8GB play multiple video clips without inte...

I bought the N95 8gb few days ago. Then transfer some of my MV to its Video Centre. When I played those MV in N95, I need to click the arrow button to switch to the next song or previously song. Is there any way to create a video playlist in this phone? It does bother me so much, because I need to click it to switch to the next. Pain of the **bleep**!

CorePlayer allows you to create video playlists (www.coreplayer.com). You just select the files you want and it will play them in loop.
I think it's not possible with the built in Video Center.

N95 8GB as a video recording source?

Hi all,
Firstly i'll say i'm loving the N95 8GB
I was just wondering, is it possible to use the N95 8GB as a video recording source? What I mean is, can we record something directly to a PC via some video recording software, via USB?
Thanks,
Ozzie

No I don't think it's possible like that.
You can put a TV-in card in your PC and then use the TV-out cable from the N95 and record in the PC.
I've done this.
