I took the plunge and bought a 770 second hand (Thanks uczmeg!!) And i'm impressed with what it can do, surfing is a breeze, and using orb I even get to stream youtube videos which I was convinced was impossible before, so I'ma happy bunny... I installed scummvm which works perfectly and I'm currently revisiting Curse of Monkey Island (until I get a bigger Memory card!)

So all in all, after reading all about it on this forum I got what I expected which is great!

EXCEPT...

The video playback on the built in video player leaves quite a lot to be desired, it was especially unimpressive compared to my flatmate's Ipod video and PSP... I used Media converter to convert a trailer for 'Epic Movie' (looks like an awful film) and while the picture quality is pretty good, the framerate is a little slow...

So I installed Mplayer which doesn't seem to be happy on my Nokia, and causes it to freeze when trying to exit the app and now doesn't let me connect to my 770 via USB...

Does this sound normal?

Is it worth the trouble to install mplayer? Will I get crisp smooth video playback?

Sorry if these are very basic questions...

Thanks

Well, I'm sorry if I can't help you but... I'm struggling from *weeks* because I don't know why I cannot connect to the PC via USB. Now you tell me you installed mplayer and can not connect to your PC.

Are you sure that the problem is with mplayer? I'll try to uninstall it...

Thanks!

Omar

not Sure... but i'll try uninstalling it to see if it helps...

A ton of us have mplayer installed with no problem. Not sure why you are having a problem. Before uninstalling mplayer, restart the unit.
