It looks like only a few phones support codec that is used by NVM. @rulirahm: I haven’t managed to play any videos converted by Nokia Video Manager on my N73 and E61 until today.

It requires codec. Second, after installing K-Lite Codec Pack, now the converted movie by SmartMovie can be played. Third, I\'ve a simple .WMV movie. When I try to transfer this movie to my Nokia N70 from NVM, I just can hear the sound. The screen is black. NVM converts this movie to be .MP4 video format.

Each time I play the video, the phone reboots. @Sebastian: I have tried to select the lowest quality and the result is even worse. Each time I play the video, the phone reboots.

Perhaps selecting a lower quality setting (= presumably lower bitrate instead of smaller resolution) will make it possible to play on all phones that support H.264?

According to http://www.forum.nokia.com/main/resources/technologies/audiovideo/av_features/FN_vid_table.html , not all phones support that codec. It is supported only on some S60 3rd ed. phones and all S60 3rd ed. Feature Pack 1 phones. (The officially supported phones, 6110 Navigator, 6290 and 5700 XpressMusic, are all S60 3rd ed. FP1.) And different phones have different maximum allowed bitrates. Perhaps the converted files have so high bitrates that they can only be played with the newest S60 3rd ed. FP1 phones?
