SlideShow with TV Output

The pan and zoom function doesn't seem to work when connected to TV. Does anyone get this too or it just my N95?

Another issue, creating muvee. Seem that "not enough memory...close other applicaton..." error message pop up occassionally, even with only 5 image files. I can't muvee a video file. There're still half available free memory on phone and card.

No, the pan & zoom doesn't seem to work on the TV out. I've tried muvee a couple of times; it worked with no problems but I thought it was pretty rubbish so haven't used it since. I've so far had three attempts to use the full Video Editor and each time when I come to save, it runs out of memory and crashes, even at medium resolution (reviewers have already said you can't use it at high resolution). Disappointing. Seems to me they've included a feature that the system can't actually cope with, in the hope that future firmware updates will free enough RAM for it to work.

Another issue with TV-Out that I have found is that only the inbuilt realplayer seems to be able to support "full screen" (I mean fully expanded to fit the TV screen). The few other "3rd party" players I have tried end up in a little "postage stamp" in the middle of the TV screen. It would be nice if Nokia supported a zoom or expand or whatever for anything that doesn't realise the connectivity to the TV exists (e.g. DIVX player).
So I have gone thru the painful process of converting normal DIVX into something the stock internal realplayer can handle just to get fullscreen onto the TV (I was kind of hoping this N95 would become my "part time media player to TV for DIVX etc" video player, but a couple of things kill that like the fullscreen issue, and that the media player will keep the lights on even though the TV-OUT is happening).
Sure, this isn't quite related, but thought I would vent my thoughts about the TV-OUT none-the-less!
Cheers

I played Fantastic 4 II wide screen version using DIVX on N95. As expected it shows full from side to side with black spaces top and bottom, either vertical or horizontal view. I set the DIVX player to play fullsceen on restart. When I output this to TV, DIVX give a full display on TV horizontally but the widescreen F4II goes from top to bottom of the TV! 😮 So I slided the N95 to multimedia mode, only then it goes from side to side. Anyway, it doesn't look good.

Tonite, gonna try with Popeye movie which give a perfect fullscreen on N95on DIVX player. See how it goes on TV.

BTW, I played podcasting downloaded video on TV, very impressively clear. Image and sound as good as TV itself.😊

Cheers.
