pvPlayer problems

Hi,

I have a Nokia N70 which seems like a pretty good phone, but it has a built
in video player called pvPlayer. This is supposed to play .mp4 videos but I
am having some problems with it. The sample videos shipped on the memory
card all play at a really slow choppy frame rate (fine when viewed via my
PC). I have also tried converting some short video clips to .mp4 format but
when I try to view them on the phone the sound is completely screwed. What's
up with the pvPlayer? Am I doing something wrong?

Assuming you also have realplayer on the N70, have you tried playing
the video in that ?

I do have the Real player, but how do you do that? It only seems to open
audio files.

on my 6630, open real player.
go to "options" menu, then "open"->"Saved Clip".
Then browse to where the video clip is stored, select it and it should
play.

Excellent, that seems to solve it, thanks!
