So does ur Nokia N-gage, have to be hooked up to computer, in order to watch a movie???

Or can i just use the web browser, on the N-gage and down load some porno's , and watch em???

The videos would probably be too high quality (bitrate, resolution, fps all would likely be too much) for the N-Gage/QD (ignoring the comment about type of movies). You would (most likely) have to convert them on the computer. I don't know good settings for S60 phones so I can't really say much about that. The movies would have to be transferred to the N-Gage somehow, from the computer or downloaded straight to it should work (though as I said you probably won't be able to watch them without converting first).

Conversion depends on what you're using to convert, you computer's processor speed, and the length of the original video file. I use Smartmovie, and it takes about 45 mins to an hour.

Sending to the N-Gage... Well, I wouldn't really recommend anything but manually copying the file to the MMC using a card reader. Bluetooth or USB connection to an N-gage is, IMO, too slow for video files.

I also use Smartmovie, and the time it takes to convert is roughly the length of the video. I have no problem in sending my files to the MMC via my classic N-Gage, since I only send 3 minute clips.
