Large movies in your phone?

Hove to watch movies in P990?

I can watch at short peaces of a movie, but when I compress a DVD for the phone an play it, the screen became white, or black. It a different between the formats I have used.

I have tried mpg4 and 3ggp, and some other formats I later understand the phone cud not handle.

So I wonder hove to do? Is there a special need of a fast memory stick? (The one I use is scandisk Memory stick pro duo 4gb)

If this don�t work at the moment, cud you please tell me when it�s possible, and tell me if its never going to bee possible.

and I haver herd that it would be possible to watch movies in 30fps, is this tru?
In Swedish.....

Jag har stora problem med att visa l�ngre filmer i min telefon.
Jag har rippat DVD filmer och f�rs�kt att se mina hemgjorda filmer och s� vidare i formaten 3ggp och mp4. Allt fungerar s� l�nge det �r kortare snuttar.
Hur g�r jag f�r att se filmer som �r runt 200MB i min telefon?
�r detta inte m�jligt f�r tillf�llet?
N�r i s� fall kommer det att bli m�jligt?
Beh�ver jag n�gon speciell typ av minneskort?(det jag har nu �r Sandisk memory stick pro duo 4gb)
Jag �r tacksam f�r svar, med v�nliga h�lsningar Karl Efraimsson.

jag har f�tt det h�r svaret fr�n sonyericsson suport..

Hej Karl!

Tack för att du kontaktade Sony Ericsson Call Center.

För att telefonen ska kunna spela en videofil korrekt behöver den vara kodad i rätt format. Kontrollera att ni kodar videofilen enligt någon av följande standarder:
MPEG-4 Visual Simple Profile Level 0-3
H.263 Profile 0 Level 10
H.263 Profile 3 Level 10
Dessa profiler begränsar olika saker som t.ex upplösning och fps så att videofilen fungerar utan problem i telefonen.

Med vänliga hälsningar,

I had same problem like yours, until I used Nero Digital.
Just use the Memory Stick profile when you convert the DVD and you should be fine.

I bought the Sony Ericsson Media Studio from my-symbian.com, and it works great. The only thing is that it makes the movie in 30-40 Mb pieces, so you watch one piece at a time. This might be configurable, though, haven't checked out.

I have tried to use nero digital, converting my file 150mb, Memorystick PSP. but it still dont work. and i have also tried SE media stodio, but my trail perod has ended, and i dont want to bay a program if I', unsoure if it works. does anyone know when the next Firmweare comes?

Excuse me fore my spelling, english is not my strengh.

Maybe it was the settings then? I have had no problems with the SE Media Studio. Large files are slow to open, and I converted a movie for this reason in several 30-40 Mb pieces. No big hassle to switch between the files, since usually anyways I cannot watch the movie in one session while traveling.
