Video playback on S730

---

Hi!
I've been reading alot on this forum and im very intersted in the S730, and by reading your posts here the majority seems to think the s730 is a great phone, but noone has said anything considering the video-driver issue in tytnII, whether its a problem in the s730 too?, So how is the video playbak in s730, is it possible to watch a 320x240 movie or TV-series, because i always downsize my shows to 320x240 will i not have any problems?, i currently have an Dell axim x30 which i often use to listen to music or watch movies and it has a 624Mhz processor which gives me smooth video playback, and would hate myself if i bought the s730 and the video playback would be lagging in 320x240...
And also, how is the call quality? is it clear and is the sim-card automatically set up?

thanks in advance...

Watching 320x240 is no problem. CorePlayer (TCPMP) handles it well, all is smooth, the cpu power is enough up to 30 - 33 FPS (MPEG-4 ASP, 300 - 400 kbit/s).

What program are you using to downsize the videos?

They way I am currently doing it is too slow

However video playback is perfect. Even with the full resolution video's it only studders on the video and my audio is solid. (core player as well)

Thanks for the answers, and im pleased to hear that watching videos on th S730 is smooth. I'll probably go for this phone, and hope that you guys continue finding good ways of maximizing the performance in the phone!
An btw when I downsize my series or movies i often use pocketdivxencoder found here http://www.pocketdivxencoder.net/ . But most of the videos i downsize are Family guy and American Dad so im not really sure on how the result of a real movie would be, but i guess if you maximize both the video and audio quality , you would still end up with a reasonable small file with nice quality!

But to my other question, is the call quality good? in other words does it perform well as a phone?, and i read about the memory leak which i hope will get fixed, but will it cause any trouble if i listen to music via the bluetooth A2DP profile when not using any other programs?

Cool, filesize isnt a problem with my 6gb sd card. I'll play with it. My way works but too much hassle.

My old phone was not very good, so I cant speak too much about call quality. I find its very good overall, I had one occation where my connection was bad (kinda remote location with 1 bar signal) and the person on the other end said I was full of static, did clear up though.

Thats the only issue I have had. The earpiece speaker volume could go up a little higher but I have never had problems not being able to understand people.

i used TCPMP with mine, and the 400mhz makes a huge difference
i barely have to convert any video now when i'm watching my shows (usually in 700x200 or something like that)
with steady framerate and quality

if it starts to stutter or slowdown, i just turn the quality a bit lower in the player and it plays back just fine

yeap
