Requirements


Video Converter


First of all you need a good software to convert the video.How about a free converter? Format Factory is a great free software with a lot of options.You can get it at http://www.formatoz.com/download.html.

Video or Movie

FormatFactory can handle almost any video format.Aditonally you can convert video to audio also. 

Nokia 5230 supports the following video codecs

• advanced video codec(avc)
• h.264 and h.263
• wmv9
• rm

Audio codecs include

• Good old mp3
• aac
• rma
• wma

So with some trial and error i found out the best configuration for nokia 5230.

Note:I used mpeg4(divx) instead of avc because nokia supports avc videos of resolution 240*320.

Also battery drains quicker and x264 encoding is not supported

Max video bitrate i have tried is 2000kb/s but 374 or 768 is recommended.
