Convert video files for Nokia E90 (and other MPEG-4 compatible phones)
A while ago our guide writer and multimedia specialist Siku wrote two exellent guides for converting video files, Divx AVI for an example, to Nokia E90 Communicator compatible format. With these instructions one can produce MPEG-4 video files with near-DVD quality and hi-fi audio. Perfectly suitable for watching TV-series, music videos, or even movies on your mobile phone!These guides are targeted for the Nokia E90 Communicator, that has a very powerful GPU and a high reslution display, but with a few adjustments you can follow the steps to produce videos for any MPEG-4 device - either a mobile phone or portable audio/video player . Just set the output resolution to match the display resolution of your device and adjust the bitrate accordingly. The smaller the display your device has, the lower video bitrate can be used while still achieving good video quality.
There are two editions of the guide. The basic guide uses MediaCoder and provides a very easy starting point for converting your videos. The settings can be very easily adjusted to match your needs. The advanced guide goes much further and covers a lot of details, like the video aspect ratio and uses more advanced tools for conversion - not for absolute beginners, but very good reading and a lot to be learned from the guide. The guides are not yet transfered to our new site platform, but you can read them at our archives.

The converter is just amazing. However, I am not able to play from the default player (real player). After I transferred the converted files to my E90, I tried playing the video files but there’s an error message saying the player couldn’t play the Audio & Video Files. A bit disappointing after hours of ripping and conversion but realise the end result is :CAN”T PLAY FILE. Help from anyone?
The error message is: “Unable to play either sound or video clip. Trying to play partially.” After displaying the message, the player continues, there’s sound coming out of the device, meaning the audio is working fine, however, the video file is not working as the screen turns “black” whilst the audio continues playback…
Could it be because it is an “Asian set” (Singapore) issue? Hence the built in player works differently, hence the E90_preset_v1.00 don;t work ?
