My N95 Hints, Tips and Help

for N95 of course!

I think there are freeware out there but Quicktime Pro is simply awesome! (I’m a Mac fan)
Exporting to MP4 AVC/H.264 doesn’t work well with N95 but here’s a tip, 3GP is a container format which allows MP4 AVC, awesome quality for a small file, and N95 reads it with no problems.

Open movie with Quicktime Pro,
File > Export
Movie to 3G > Options

Video Settings:
Video Format: H.264
Data Rate: 512kbits/s (Play around with settings for your preferable quality, 512 is perfect for myself)
Image Size: 320×240 (Tick preserve aspect ratio and use letterbox, you can use crop if you don’t mind a cropped image for movies)
Frame Rate: Current
Keyframe: Automatic

Audio:
Audio Format: AAC-LC (Music)
Data Rate: 128kbps (same as video, play around with the settings)
Channels: Stereo
Output Sample Rate: 44.1kHz

That’s all. If anyone has a better converter for H.264/AVC codec, please share.

Before my N95 I was a PocketPC Phone Edition user and using the internet on your PocketPC meant big bills if you didn’t watch your data usage. So the only way to do this was with a third-party “Data Usage Meter”. So naturally I went looking for one when I got my N95, but I couldn’t find one…only to discover that it comes with the phone in the “Log” application!

To get there: Menu> Applications> Log> Packet Data

Once there you can clear the Log (with a lock code…which by default is 12345 unless you’ve changed it!) or set the log to clear itself every 1, 10 or 30 days.
