Dear all,
I am interested in buying either a Nokia 770 or 800 and one of my
criteria would be that it is capable of decoding H.264. On the official
Nokia homepage I've found that H.263 and MPEG-4 is supported. I know
that the mplayer or VLC supports this codec but I am wondering if the
processing power of the Nokia 770 or 800 is sufficient for that.
Any experiences on that?
I've loaded a 115Meg MP4 video I did on to my N800 of my son's
soccer team trip to Paris and Spain this summer. With N800s Media
Player, there's a message that it doesn't have the codex to play mp4s.
MPlayer (maemo) supposedly plays mp4s, but chokes on this particular
MP4 file, chopping up the audio and only rarely showing a change in
video displays. This MP4 file plays fine with QuickTime on my XP
laptop. Perhaps I don't have the optimum mp4 player or codex
installed. Perhaps, because the MP4 comes from a widescreen DVD format
compressed to a smaller internet uploadbable MP4 file ([EMAIL PROTECTED] fps),
it doesn't play well Nokia's MP4 MPlayer either because it's a
'non-standard' frame size, too many fps or whatever. MPlayer seems to
try to process the file to display in full screen rather than it's
native 512x288 format. If so, that probably requires way more
processing power than the N800 has. I haven't had time to sort out
what's going on.
What about the battery lifetime when watching videos (e.g., stored on
the memory card?)
I haven't been able to play any prolonged video to determine battery
life.
