Re: Converting video on the tablet?

Quick question: has anyone else had any luck with Thoggen (http://thoggen.net/)? I've used it on a couple of DVDs, but anytime I try to push the resolution (eg, 480x320 and up), the video becomes choppy on my N900. I like Thoggen because it will resize and crop on the fly, plus it's very simple and straightforward; none of this messing with bitrates or containers or codecs. But then, maybe that's why I get choppy videos, because I don't know what "quality" setting or bitrate to use for decent playback on the N900. I'm fairly certain the N900 should be able to handle big videos; I'm just hoping it's something I'm doing wrong.

Hopefully I'll have more time to "play" later. If it turns into a real problem I can't solve or find a post that does I'll post it in another thread. Don't want to get off track here.TX

No need for a new thread but I did want to record my resolution somewhere so to not leave the issue hanging. Looks like I ran into bug 8605. Following this comment cleared it up. Now whether it was caused by my fiddling around here or something else who knows, but just like anything else you try on your tablet, YEE BE WARNED, THERE MAY BE DRAGONS ;). TX
