N97 playing video issues

[ Edited ]

I converted some of my videos to the following with Videora N97 video convertor:

Length: 30 minutes and up
Format: Mp4 (also tried H.264)
Size: 280 MB
1024 KBPS
640x480

They will play for 2 seconds, but will freeze, however you can still hear sound.
I tried converting other videos with length 21 minutes (and less) with same format as above, but all can play with no problems. Is it that N97 can't handle videos of 30 minutes or longer? Or can you play 30 minutes video?
Could you tell me in what format you converted to? How much kbps? What software you used?

Re: N97 playing video issues

What i've been using is the following:

 

 mp4

 

Resolution: 640x480

Bit Rate: 1500

Frame Rate: 24

Aspect 16:9

Audio Codec: Mpeg4AAC

Bit Rate: 80

Sample Rate: 44100

Channels: 2 (Stereo)

 

With this it plays very smooth. 

 

Hope this helps.

Re: N97 playing video issues

I would recommend to try a different converter. Or try different settings for Videora.

 

 


640K Should be enough for everybody

Re: N97 playing video issues

I nearly tried every setting on videora, it just doesnt work.

I even scale the res to 640x360, but still freezes.

 

@ mwlai: what convertor did you use for converting those full length movies?

I use another convertor (format factory), same settings, and it works now. So could be Videora problem.
