Check out the "N700, N800/810 Notes" (near the bottom) of http://wiki.maemo.org/Video_encoding

You'll likely want to scale it down using a video conversion tool.

h264 is probably too cpu intensive. If you're just getting a black screen, it's because it hasn't managed to decode a single frame fast enough.

thanks both, guess i'll encoding it to something less intensive
