Anyway to download movies from internet?

[konabiker47]

Hello everyone, I wanted to post some videos on the net for people to download onto their mobile phones. Is this possible to do? Is the Q able to download and then view movie files? Is there a specific format they need to be?

A little searching and you would find a lot of info on sites that already allow you to do this. If you just want to post them on a webserver you might have access to, just make sure they are either a 3gp, wmv, or mp4 file, and the Q should be able to play them just fine. If the Q recognizes the file format, it will automagically download it for you.

Ok thanks i now know how to get the videos but when they are on my Q they play very badly. The videos are always buffering and are like watching a slideshow. Is this a problem with my windows media player or what? Please help.

You have to remember you're dealing with a 300MHz device... high FPS isn't expected, but we should expect something fairly smooth. Make sure that you aren't trying to watch 1500kbps movies... Whenever I convert I aim for ~300kbps (that's a 48 kHz stereo audio sampling rate at 63 kbps and 320x240 241kbps video (WMV 9 codec) stream). Video's encoded at this rate play flawlessly through both TCPMP and WMP on my Q.
