Plug in your device via USB as MEDIA TRANSFER...
Drag the video from your hard drive to the E Drive in your Omnia HD. The system will prompt you to "JUST COPY" or "CONVERT AND COPY". Choose the latter and Windows 7 automatically converts the video into the best format compatible for the our device. Now, you won't have to go through all those hassles of converting your video!

On the topic, does anyone know what will happen if i convert a normal movie with a resolution of say 300x400 with a frame rate of 23fps to:
1.) A resolution of 720x1280
2.) A frame rate of 30fps
Will it increase or decrease the quality? It can't possibly increase but will it make a diff? Should it be converted to a lower resolution instead of a higher one? That's what i believe. Also whats the best quality format that supports this phone?

angel252, 07 Jul 2010I'm sorry, what does 24fps mean? I'm really bad at this stu... moreFPS = frames per second
oh my goodness,,it took me a long while to learn all this lot about video formats...I could not understand why one nokia fone could play this qcif video in 2004 but the other model still 2004 could and after about a couple of years i found out after a lot of research,, the bitrate was different..I had a qcif 15fps .MP4 video 90 seconds long and all the problems boiled down to bitrate and i can remember the models,,nokia 7610 would not play it but 6630 would..yet both only recorded 15fps ,mp4 qcif videos.
there is video size
sub qcif at the bottom quality = 124 x 96 pixels
thru to the normal vga nowadays =640 x 480 pixels..
there is types of video
.3gpp,.3gp,.mp4,.MP4,mkv,divx,avi and more
then there is fps from 7fps on my sharp gx30 to 120 slomo on some samsungs
this last setting on some machines selects quality and that can alter bitrate..
It is a nightmare so after buying the sandisk v-mate ive never looked back..You plug it into tele and into a record source such as dvd player ,,set the settings i use qvga 25fps medium quality and tape onto micro sd card or sd or memory stick and its done..
Someone will know the best settings for omnia hd but it could be an odd resolution for eg nokia 5800 had a setting of 240 x 180 for it to play at its best,or something like that..Video formats my goodnes its a science on its own..

Can anyone tell me what kind of video format I should convert my video downloads to, in order for me to download and watch them on my i8910? For instance, some videos I download onto it refuses to play. The media files it supports are obviously very specific, can anyone tell me what they are?

In the past normal non geeks accepted samsungs smartfones but people are getting savvy and with other manufacturers doing updates they want them too..So in all everyone now expects their smartfones to be up to date and bugs sorted out..

Hi everybody,
I aam posting this message again, as I dint get any answer last time few months ago,
just a quick question, can anyone tell me how to activate the phone interface while talking, for example if you receive a call and want to activate your speaker, it seldom works, mostly your screen is blank. And also sometimes if you call and they ask for touch tone facility i have terrible difficulty in getting num pad on screen, mostly it stays blank, is that a problem with my omnia hd or its a common error? or is there any button to press?
Thanks

I love the i8910 omnia and sincerely wish that Samsung would do something to keep it on the top. They seem to have forgotten about this phone, at least in India. It is better than the iPhone as far as I'm concerned. Only wish that Samsung would bring out updates and more applications for this phone quickly.
