video problems

I am having problems with playing video on my E62.
I have down loaded the latest version of divix player and when using this player all of my videos playback very jerky.
I do have lots of memory left on the phone, but I have tried a number of things to get the video to play properly but with no luck.
Any help with this would be great.

Thanks.

If your videos were encoded for "desktop" viewing in mind then it's very likely they'll not playback smoothly on your phone. Try re-encoding the videos:

1) rescale the video so it has similar dimensions to your screen size (so the phone doesn't need to waste power rescaling the video)

2) lower video and audio bitrate

3) lower video framerate

4) downgrade the overall audio quality (if you're using your phone's speaker you're not going to get hifi quality stereo sound so why waste time and space encoding/decoding).
