6500c: how to record/play mpeg4, avi?

Hello everybody,

how to record and play mpeg4, avi with Nokia 6500c?

Is it possible to reprogram or patch it?

 

Xvid or mpeg4?

which is higher quality? Xvid or mpeg4?

which video format is higher quality?

- xvid
- avi
- mpeg4
- mpeg
- or what?

 

Xvid or mpeg4?

ok, it's all about quality to file size ratio on this... here's a list of codecs and their relative sizes for the same quality and picture size...

example:
640x480 video at 29.97 fps with total length of 24 minutes and no artifacting.
xvid - it's about 180 mb.
AVI - this is a file type container, so it would be safe to ignore this.
X264 - around 140mb to 150mb
mpeg4 - it's a general class, look into h264 or x264.

Personally i'd go with X264 or h264, and use mediacoder to encode the videos.

note:

to get the best file size and quality ratios it's trail and error, however once you get it down you'll find very few issues, i've got good results on h264 using around 700 to 800 kb/s rates.
