Re: 5800 video help

It is a matter of trial and error and no one program works all of the time. But you should convert to MP4.

 

Try Internet TabletVideo Converter from Nokia. It works most of the time for me.

Also, try  Ulead Video Toolbox that came on the mini DVD with your 5800.

 

You can also try SUPER. It is a free program that converts most programs to most others.

Re: 5800 video help

I basically hunt and peck when converting to MP4. Sometimes with the same video converting program, I will get the sound only and other times I won't. It seems to be real hit and miss.

 

I never use OVI to transfer. I attach in PC Suite mode and use the file manager. 

 

Of course, I am nowhere near 100% successful. Just telling you my experiences.
