I was trying out different video settings with my 6600 today and the discoveries I made was very strange, if you set the settings to No Sound and Smallest size, You can film a blank wall up to 2 minutes! But the same settings will only allow you to view a very quick moving object for about 15 seconds, a not much moving object will give you about 30 seconds.
If you have the settings on the best quality and sound, You can film a blank wall for longer than 9 seconds, I managed to film a static spinning top for 15 seconds.
So, Does anyone have any explanation for this?
P.S. All these files are 94kb and under.
File size is the limit + the nature of how video is encoded; whole frames periodically, and only changes between frames in between.
This leads to when there is less change between consecutive frames (you filming the wall), longer video.
When there's more change between consequtive frames, more information needs to be stored, and you come up the file size limit more quickly.
The file size is limited to what most operators will accept in an MMS message (determined by a so called MMS Conformance spec that device and software makers & operators use).

Which is 100kb.
Or until vodafone sort themselves out 30kb.
Ah, Thanks for explaining it, I thought it was something like that.
