N8 so powerfull device, it just MUST have this ability.
Perhaps you could download or record a lullaby as a ringtone? Perhaps you could even record yourself singing it? Then when the phone rings the baby will not be woken and if it is awake the phone ringing will put it to sleep. Maybe if you want the baby to go to sleep you could get all your friends to phone you.
Or you could just leave the phone asleep in silent profile and when it rings the screen will light up alerting you that there is a call..
In the end I suspect the demand among users for video ringtones is very low and not many would regard it as a "it just MUST have this ability".
Perhaps if they are important to you, you could buy a phone that has them?

Nokia 6151 - Fulscreen video playback,software ins...

Hi Everyone,
I want to know two thing for Nokia 6151, These are :
1: Does it support software installation of new software like symbian programs?
2: Does it have the facility to play mpeg4 video in fulscreen Landscape mode?
Thanks,
Mujeebrm

Just confirming about Full Screen Video playback.
I watch 3gp video format on my 6151, the only problem I can see is that in full screen mode you get the words "BACK" & "PAUSE" over the top of the video you are trying to watch.
Also if you have Bluetooth on you'll get the Bluetooth symbol over your video and a minutes/sec counter.
So its not really full screen.
It would be nice if Nokia made all these functions autohide after a few seconds and come back if you push any buttons.
Cheers,

Nokia Asha 200 Video Playback Specifications neede...

Hi !
Which video parameters have to be fulfilled by a video, to be played on nokia asha 200 / asha 201 / asha 205 ?
I have tried many video formats - there is always the message "Video format not supported" (sound is playing)...
- 3GP 320x240 AAC Stereo, Audio 22050khz - not working - not
- MPEG-4 H.264 AVC, resolution 320x240 at frame rate 10fps, 15fps, 20fps, Audio 44100khz - not working
- MPEG-4 H.264 AVC, resolution 220x176 at frame rate 10fps, 15fps, 20fps, Audio 44100khz - not working
- MPEG-4 H.264 AVC, resolution 176x144 at frame rate 10fps, 15fps, 20fps, Audio 44100khz - not working
I didn´t find anything in the whole web on this topic! Only useless informations like "Video playback file formats: MP4, ASF, WMV, AVI, 3GP"...
Same with the nokia spcifications page:
http://www.nokia.com/in-en/phones/phone/nokia-asha-200/specifications/
No detailed information.
Please help!!!
Best regards,
apix

I checked with G-Spot: The Codec with FourCC "avc1" seems to be unsupported. So H.264/MPEG-4 AVC is NOT supported by Nokia Asha 200 / 201 / 205 (generally?). The MPEG-4 Codec with FourCC "mp4v" seems to be supported. Videos encoded with "mp4v" can be played with Asha 200 / 201 / 205 (resolution 320x240, 15fps, audio bitrate 192kbps and 44100Hz.sample rate). **bleep**

Nokia E63 Video Playback Problem

I have loads of videos on my Nokia E63, but I am not satisfied with their quality. Actually I have seen how mp4 quality works superb on cell phones, but the issue with me is that they are too laggy on my phone!
I put a video on my cell phone, it's in mp4 format and the resolution is 320x240. But as soon as I start playing the video, it works absolutely fine, until it's gone through 5-6 seconds of playback, when the lag starts and this gradually keeps on happening after every 5-secong play!
Later, I re-converted the PC video and chose the same mp4 format, but the resolution this time was 176x144(QCIF). I then play the video on my cell phone. There's absolutely no lag, but the quality is poor and the appearance is blurry!
I thought that there might be a problem with the video converter I was using. But the same thing kept on happening with 5-6 other different video converters which I used.
I really need some help at this because I can't let go mp4 and try a different format. I mean, 3gp's good but not so much when it comes to it's audio. I just want to know how I can get rid of this lagging issue and play mp4 320x240 videos on my phone PERFECTLY.
Help me out please

Try lower bitrates, eg. 750kbps video, 96kbps audio. You could also match framerate of source file if you haven't already. Some general info here: /discussions/board/message?board.id=imaging&thread.id=4961

Nokia N8 - RAM memory full at video playback

Hello.Every now and then when i watching som videos on my Nokia N8 it will stop and display a message that says something like "General! The Phone memory is full, try to close som apps and try again".
The thing is that i have even close the "menu app"...i dont have any apps running except some widgets like Email, facebook, some blogs. But the are in offline mode.
What can be wrong?

Really Important>>>>>>>>>
Hi everybody, I was thinking of an amazing trick to do, except, that I don't know where I should post it. aint like I'm new here yet I want everybody to read this.....
I'm a C++ Programmer however I've minimal to no clue bout compiling S^3 apps, but if anyone can put me in the right direction, that'd be absolutely great...
>>>>>>>>>So let's get to the point....>>>>>>>>>>>
How about 15 Gigs of ram on N8 sounds astounding and legendary... and mostly unbelievable..
I do believe it's possible dough if I can somehow manage to force the phone read the E drive (Mass memory drive) as THE D: Drive (Ram Drive).
I cooked my own firmware and made alot of modification to the current exsisting firmware. but again, i don't have what it takes to make it go SYMBIAN ! SOME HELP WOULD BE REALLY REALLY APPRECIATED.
I was also thinking bout another trick which is to expand ram through partly using a dedicated space on the E drive, as in Windows pagefile.sys.
Please.....Let everyone know about this and e-mail me if you can give me sometips on how to proceed... I'm intending to share this with everyone... and credits to all who have helped me.

Nokia 500 Video Playback

Can anyone help me with encoding video for the Nokia 500? I have tried several encoding programs and have not successfully got video to play back smoothly yet. I have ripped dvd's at the 15 fps and resolution at 480 x 272. Has anyone had any luck with settings that you might share? I appreciate any feedback.
Thanks,
David

guys, i support leenusjames.
i have tried many converters and the best quality was seen in format factory.
i am attaching a screenshot for the maximum quality of audio and video.
i used these settings to convert hd videos. bitrates over 1600 makes the video pause.
The 16:9 aspect ratio gives a full screen video for nokia 500.

VIDEO PLAYBACK ANOMALY N95

I'm using the N95 with the TV-OUT cables connected to an external monitor. While watching a Video, if an incoming call is answered, the video playback is paused for the duration of the call. When resuming playback of the video after hanging-up the call, the video image appears to be veiled with poor picture contrast and the picture partially renders with the original colours. The sound track remains ok.
Could this be a codec/Video-RAM problem, after a context switch, and how can this be rectified !
Any help would be much appreciated.

I think the fundamental problem I'm having with the video playback with incoming-call interruption is due to the video format being used;
MPEG-4 Files
24 bits, 176 x 144, 15 fps
Frame-based
MPEG-4 SP Video: 200 Kbps
44100 Hz, 16 Bit, Stereo
MPEG AAC Audio: 128 Kbps
It seems that when using the "Transfer Videos" utility within Nokia PC suite, some form of further Optimisation (.MP4) or Conversion is taking place on the Video file resulting in a file size which is smaller than the original .MP4 file.
This, I believe is exasperating the problem !
Therefore, using the File Manger utility to copy the Video file directly from the PC to the relevant folder on the Memory Card gets around this problem.
The Video now continues to play after the context switch from the In-Coming Call with some initial degradation in picture quality as before but recovers fully within a couple of seconds.
This needs to be investigated further, and many thanks to all who have helped!

Video playback problems [6500 Slide]

Video playback at 25, 29.9, 30 fps is jerky, only 12.5, 15 fps videos play correctly... Lowering the bitrate or using a less complex profile/codec doesnt help much. Funny thing is, it can play its own videos which are whooping 640x480 @ 25fps and 2000-3000kbps [for comparison: the videos i encoded were only 320x240, 25fps, 200kbps] without a problem! O.o So, why has it problems playing my less complex to decode videos?
I tried following ways of encoding in SUPER:
MPEG4
h.263
XviD (h.263/basic)
320x240
25, 29.9, 30 fps
AAC
2ch
44.1kHz
96kbps
All jerky! :[
But halving the fps... Viola, it plays fine!
Is this a known issue?
Will this be fixed in the next firmware? Hope so! >.
Cant nokia release some video coding tool with profiles for each phone model, to ensure flawless playback!? -.-
Regards, KD

I found the intel driver doesn't like xv output. In VLC go Settings > Preferences > Video > Output modules and set X11 video output. See if that works. If it does you can do similar things to totem using something in the gnome-media package (can't remember what exactly of hand...)

Jerky 6500 Slide Video Playback

The spec says it should playback video in QVGA(320x240) encoded as H263 or Mpeg 4 at 30fps. I just cant get it to play anything back without it being extrememly jerky and even sometimes losing sync with the sound.
Stupidly I would have expected the software provided with the phone (Ulead Video Toolbox Basic) which asked for my phone version during installation to at least make videos which can be played on the phone. I've had the video stop on several of them during playback, and they're always jerky.
I tried encoding things in SUPER, that also provides jerky playback. Does the phone need to be returned, or am I doing something wrong? Any ideas gratefully received.
Thanks :-)

I'm still on the quest to resolve my video playback issues. I recorded a video from the phones camera in it's maximum setting, 640x480 at 15fps, so i was kinda making the assumption that if I encode a video at QVGA 320x240, then because the video is a lot smaller it'll playback at 30fps.
I did an analysis of the video from the camera, and the interesting thing is that it has created a video using sound settings which I dont seem to be able to produce in any software, specifically it is using the AMR_NB with 2 channels, which doesnt seem to be an option with any encoder (including Super which is extremely flexible usually, in fact they say in their FAQs that it's not possible for this type of codec but nokia did it), does anyone know what can produce video conversion with these settings?

6300 video playback dissapointment

I was given a new 6300 for my birthday and have just got round to swapping over from my old phone (SONY k750i), But im really dissapointed with the quality of the video playback. all the videos i had on my 750i played flawlessley, but in the much newer 6300 they appear all block and rough. The videos are in 3Gpp format. does the 6300 require a better format.

Hi, I too own both a 6300 and a K750i. The older SE phone has only a 220x176 pixel screen with 262,144 colour, the 6300 has a 240x320 screen with up to 16.7 million colours.
The increased pixellation may simply be caused by the increased resolution, on the 6300 you are more aware of the small inadequacies in the video because the larger, better quality screen is more sensitive to them. Even when not using landscape 'full screen' mode, the 6300 stretches the image over its full 240 horizontal pixels even through the 3GP format is usually 176 pixels wide.
Mobile video formats are not brilliant quality to begin with because they are heavily compressed formats to keep files sizes down. I have no major issues with playing files created by the cameras of the K750i and K800i in my Nokia 6300, my only issue is that of the three I find that the K800i is happy with more MP4 formats than the K750i and the 6300...

PC Suite won't transfere videos to my Nokia 5800

Since updating my PC Suite to the latest version every time I try to transfere a video from my PC to my Nokia 5800 it converts the file up to about 80% then get an error message saying ran out of resources. I am using vista ultimate and has latest service pack on.
Please help!!!!!!!!

Hi smudge2977,
From Nokia PC Suite Help file, you can find the following information :-
For video playback and conversion, make sure that you have the necessary codecs installed on your PC:
MPEG-2
DivX
xVid
QuickTime
Note:
We recommend installing the above codecs from their original, safe distribution locations on the Internet.
You may need to adjust your browser's security settings and allow launching of Nokia Video Manager.

Video playback, Lumia 925

I searched for an answer to my problem and suspect I may have found the answer to want to confirm it. I have a short video clip (3 minutes) that I want to put on my Lumia 925. The video is in DV-AVI format from a MiniDV camcorder. The spec is standard definition PAL so it is 720x576, interlaced, with a frame rate of 25fps. Despite the Nokia spec stating that the phone will play back AVI it doesn't want to know. The spec also says it will play back mpg files so I have converted the file to PAL DVD compliant mpeg2 (720x576, 25fps, interlaced) with a bitrate of 8Mbps. The phone won't play that either. Now I am not a fan of high compression codecs but, as the spec for my phone says it will play back H264 mpeg4, I have converted it to that but retaining the original resolution and framerate. I tried the file as both a .mp4 and a .m4v but it still refuses to even acknowloedge they exist. I am copying the files to the Video folder in the phone but when I go to Music+Videos, Videos, it tells me there are no video files on the phone.
Could it be that the Nokia spec says the phone will play back 30fps so it doesn't recognise my 25fps files as being video? Only SD NTSC video uses 30fps (well, 29.97 actually) while PAL uses 25fps so why doesn't a UK market phone support the UK standard? I noticed that the video camera cannot be changed from the default 30fps either.

I guess you could use something like handbrake. Also check this.
As far as supported formats (multimedia);

Can't hear recorded sound during video playback

I take a lot of videos of my kids. I have noticed lately that the volume is low or muffled...you can't hear what is being said even if they are screaming 6 inches away. I thought maybe something had gotten into the microphone, etc. I recorded a voice memo and on playback i could hear what was recorded just fine at a normal level. Now once I tried to record a video of my kids talking, it played back so low that i can't hear anything and that is with the volume turned wide open. Not really sure what this issue could be but if the volume works fine on voice memo wouldn't it work the same on video playback?

ITunes / Windows Video Playback.. (what, you actualy want to WATCH vid's?)

I'm sure there are several people out there that are having the same or similar problems, but because I can't seem to find them with the exact problem I'm having, I thought a new thread would be appropriate....
Upgraded from 6 to 7 yesterday... music seems to play OK (not as good as 6, but not all the issues other people are having). Now video playback in iTunes is little more than a slideshow with audio to (almost) match.
When I go to play back any vid podcast, or other video in my library for that matter, iTunes bumps my processor up to 100% and holds it there, and the video does little more than skip and bounce through the entire playback (even if the overlay controls go away fully, the slightest mouse movement brings them back). The audio quality seems to almost follow the video, but they get away from each other (the audio was about 2 seconds ahead of the video/slide show while watching the current version of Photoshop TV). Any other video player works fine, but if I wanted to use them, I would have never installed iTunes in the first place, the idea being that the integration was the blessing.
I USED to be able to watch a video, use Photoshop CS2, have Flash 8 open behind it, After Effects running on a seperate monitor, browse the web, and play freecell all at the same time, with several background utility style apps going all at the same time with out a hickup.
After trying the IDE fix's, the sound setup fix's and any other fix's found in the discussions (and yes, reverting them after they failed to fix the problem), I'm still having an issue, and now I can't find iTunes 6 to try to get back to a good time in life... oh why oh why apple, why do you have just as many issues as windows? I had hoped for so much more....
Anyone? Any Ideas? Anyone willing to email me itunes 6 so I can get back to a better time in life? Or provide answers? I've got a horriable track record with apple (over 20 business stopping questions, and to date 0 responses) so I am about 2 minutes from giving up
Sorry apple, but this is way past frustrating... were all your win/tel beta testers using mac's?

How can i monitor network traffic to debug video playback issues from a NAS?

I am having problems playing videos on my new Mini that i am using as an HTPC.
I have a brand new Mac Mini running Lion with a 2.7 i7 processor and 8GB of RAM with a wired connection to a switch. .
My switch is a NETGEAR ProSafe GS108T-200NAS set to default settings. I haven't had a chance to start messing with VLAN settings or anything else. There is a bit of a learning curve on my part on this end.
My NAS is a ReadyNAS Pro (RNDP6000) with 3 x 1 TB hitachi ultrastar (HUA722010CLA330) drives and a 1.5 TB seagate (ST31500341AS) drive setup in RAID config using X-RAID2.
The problem I am having is video playback when accessing large video files off of the NAS. These are typically 1080 HD mkv files.
I have tested movies as small as 7.5GB with only slight stutters on occasion. I tried a 10.5GB movie and the stalling was much more pronounced. Movies larger than 11GB are completely unwatchable stalling every minute or so.
I have also tried large movies on the local drive and that is not a problem at all - they play back just fine. Beautiful playback in hidef. Mind you, some of these are the same files that were stalling over the network.
I have also noticed that some other network devices get kicked off the network when a movie is playing.
I think it has something to do with the transfer speed of files over the network and the switch - i am no expert at this mind you.
I am wondering if there is some sort of utility that i can use to monitor network activity on the mini so that i can fix my problem. Or has anyone made chages in their switch settings to optimize data trasfer speeds.
Any advice or recommendations on.
Thank you all!

OK, I did a couple of things and ran things a couple of times.
First what I did settings wise:
I enabled jumbo frames on the Mac Mini, ReadyNAS Pro, and the Netgear GS108T switch. All with MTU set to 9000.
I went ahead and enabled jumbo frames on the rest of the computers on the network just in case.
After these changes I ran into the same problems with videos timing out - very annoying and frustrating as you can imagine.
Then I started playing with device configurations. My original configuration was NAS > Netgear switch > Mac Mini. I went ahead and switched the switch to an Airport Extreme I have as my WAP and the setup looked like this - NAS > Airport Extreme > Mac Mini.
Well, long story short, no go. It appears to me that the NAS is the one having issues providing the necessary data at the proper speed. I also tried playing sopme movies off of the NAS onto a desktop i have and had the same issues - choppy frames and crashing movies. I even tried connecting wirelessly to see if that would work.
BTW, I have the Mac accessing the file system using CIFS.
I don't know what else I could do.
I am going to have to go to the Netgear forums to see if i can figure this out. Hopefully, I can get things going to be able to help some people out.
If anyone has any ideas, they would be greatly appreciated.
My only other alternative is spending $2000 for the thunderbolt capable NAS that Apple sells - it's only money!
