I've had the 9300 for 3 weeks now,but I cannot get it to play an MP4 video clip.
It plays the sound of the video but the screen is black.
Can anyone help?
RealPLayer on Nokia 9300
Had similar problem on the 9500. Had to do with the image size on the clip. Remedied by exporting the clip to a smaller image size, tweaking with the drop frame, frame rate. Pretty messy.
The payoff? Lousy clip that does not sync with the sound track.
I've looked into a title called "smart movie". May be the solution.
The quality of the Real Player video player is one of several disappointments with the 9300/9500 range.
Good luck.

Hi Psion Brian,
Thanks for that, I'll trySmart movie.

I have made only one experiment with SmartMovie, finding it much better than RealPlayer, especially when Crop mode is Full. I may even consider to watch a movie done with it - but only if I am coerced to do it. But with RealPlayer - never.
Hello MacUser,
I am too.. and worried about your comment

I begin feeling similarly, after bying the 9300 without much Mac [sync] support. What is your experience / solutions to remedy problems?
Thanks in advance.

i need this program
After exhaustive review of different movie players for the 9300, I decided upon SmartMovie from LazyCat software.
You have to convert the movies on your desktop computer to play, but the quality is outstanding (better than the video iPod!).
I don't know of any generic movie player that can handle all of the different formats that are out there.
Another outstanding feature of SmartMovie is the user interface of both the player and the converter. The player can remember where you stopped watching and start back up again. Brightness and volume are also adjustable.
The converter can resize and crop your video stream so you can get the black bars of the letterbox format out and have more image on the screen.
The only drawback that I've found with SmartMovie is exiting the program. Because it sits top-level (high CPU access), you sometimes have to exit twice to stop the program.
I've never found the Realplayer to be of any real value for video, but it does come in handy if you find an audio stream on a website and you want to play it.
