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.

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.

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.

N95 8GB Video Problem - Stopping at 37~ min.

Hey.
I've been having this problem ever since I got my cellphone.
I have some full-length movies on my device but the video always stops between 36 and 37min.
Only the audio continues, the screen just turns greyish. Until this, the videos work perfectly
and on the computer they function full length, I converted them using the video manager too so there
shouldn't be a problem.
Any idea what I could do about that..?
Thanks in advance.

N95 8GB - Video Center

My video center application closes after a few seconds.
The only change I had was that I subscribed to Podcasts and downloading audio and video podcasts. But still I only have 20% Internal memory used.
The videos from video center can be played from the Gallery >> Images & videos.
Oh yes, I also installed Gizmo5, onto the phone memory as instructed. I don't think they are related, but then again...

Thank you a lot guys!
...and hello again :-)
Another problem I found is that Video Center automatically imports (videos) from Nokia Podcasts, which I happen to have a lot of video podcasts (e.g. geekbrief.tv). They keep me entertained each morning I take a train and bus to work (45 minutes trip).
I want to keep them for a while after I downloaded them, then erase after a few days, and giving thumbnails to files that can change after a while is too much work for a consumer device that is meant to be all fun, I think :-). Sorry, I shouldn't be whining about this in here, but directly to Nokia.
Anyways, has anyone tried to configure Video Center not to automatically import videos within the phone? No sooner to do myself since that would mean I have to remove all my (video) podcast episodes to keep my video center from crashing.

N95 8GB Video Centre Shutting Down

My problem with my N95 8GB, the video centre application automatically closes itself after a few seconds when I open it.
The video centre work fine when it was brand new but as soon as I put my Sim Card in, I started to have problems.
I would really appreciate some help on this issue as it is driving me crazy
Many thanks,
s

The workaround is to load a JPG PNG or GIF picture icon (small file 90 KB), named EXACTLY the same as the videos in the My Videos folder where the videos are stored (or where ever the videos from video center are stored)

N95 8GB VIDEO PLAYBACK HELP

Hi, i have downloaded my videos onto my pc. they are MP4 files. i am not able to play them on my pc. Please advise what to do or what software to download. i cannot find any other options for recording videos if there are any other settings
Solved!
Go to Solution.

If you mean the videos you took with the N95 then just use Quicktime or RealPlayer to play them on the PC. Actually most video players will play MP4.
Windows Media Player doesn't play or find MP4 as you probably don't have MPEG-4 as a DirectShow codec.
So you won't be able to use WMP unless you make some changes to the registry which I won't recommed unless you are comfortable editing the registry.

N95 8gb video call

when in video calls we need a option to turn the camera light on or off . That's so we can see our image in our calls when there is no back ground light.

And how exactly would that work? There is no camera light on the front of the phone!
If you are talking about the flash on the back then how would you see the other person? Wouldn't this make a video call pointless?

N95 8GB v20.0.016 - mass memory failure #3

For the third time my N95 8GB has managed to corrupt its mass memory ("mass memory corrupted") - only this time, I am unable to reformat it at all!
The problem behaviour is as follows:
Used the phone last night to take several pictures, accessing the Gallery at one stage to find and delete one picture. This afternoon I look for the photos to review, and the '200902' folder (images for February) on the mass memory has no subfolder and is empty. However, I DO have a video saved on the phone from the 7th of February!
This afternoon I am able to take as many pictures as I like and they are saved correctly in the gallery and the 200902 folder. I had used about 5.2GB of the mass memory at this point. (It may be worth noting that I would occasionally get the message 'Gallery: Memory full' whilst browsing the gallery, but never at any other time).
At this stage, the mass memory is still fully populated, so I thought it would be best to cut my losses and take a full phone backup. The backup process fails, with an error along the lines of having lost connection with the phone.
I check file manager to see what's going on, and the following message appears on the memory card page: "(no data)".
All previous times the handset corrupted its memory, the trigger seemed to be a reboot of the handset. (Contents were lost upon returning to File Manager after a reboot). Having not rebooted the phone at all in the last 24 hours, I was surprised that the memory card contents had apparently disappeared without any application being launched and apparently no new data writing attempts being made. Perhaps the read operation for the backup caused the failure? But this still does not explain how all my February photos were deleted.
Without any obvious way of getting to my files, I rebooted the phone, returned to file manager and was greeted by the familiar: "(mass memory corrupted)".
As mentioned previously, when this happened before I was able to format the memory via Menu -> Tools -> Utilities -> Memory -> Format. This time, I receive the message: "Mass memory is in use by other application. Continue anyway?". I select 'Yes' - but the handset simply returns to the memory screen and "(mass memory corrupted)". This still happens even after a reboot.
I have performed 'Factory settings' reset via the phone menus, a 'hard reset' via code *#7370#, a format by holding *, 3 and the call answer button whilst powering on the phone - none of these prevent the 'Mass memory is in use' error from occurring. I have also attempted to format drive E (mass memory) but this just returns an error code. When I attempt to upgrade the firmware, the process fails every time after ~3 minutes saying that the connection with the phone has been lost (the warnings about upgrading do state that the mass memory should NOT be encrypted, so I presume that it being inaccessible is equivalent to this).
I cannot see any way to format the 8gb memory so that I can make it usable once more! The phone was not dropped or damaged in any way in the last 24 hours, yet it seems that something must have physically changed inside it?
The only parallel I can draw between this incident and the previous one is that both times, the memory was around 2/3rds full (around 5.5GB). I am wondering if perhaps the FAT table outgrows itself and dies?
My 1 year warranty expired 3 weeks ago - I am hopeful my network operator will be able to provide a replacement and that this phone just has a 'bad' memory chip - it really is a superb phone barring this infuriating corruption problem mine seems to have!
If anyone could shed any light on a solution it would be much appreciated
Thanks,
Alex

In the end my operator agreed to replace the handset for me after a lot of to-ing and fro-ing. In my opinion the problem was caused by a faulty memory chip.
Alex
p.s. - the old handset was sent to the operator for repair and they were unable to repair it, only offer a refurbished replacement. With the greatest of respect, it's good to know my case is not unique!

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
