Newbie Question: Download my Videos from Nokia N95 8GB to my laptop?

tagged with:, , ,

I’m wondering if anyone can help me?

I’ve just brought the N95 8GB and I can’t download any of my videos to my laptop it just won’t accept them. I’ve even downloaded “realplayer” to my laptop as that’s the app on the phone but stil nothing. It will let me view the file but when I try and Copy, transfer, send the file it won’t work.

Has anyone had any problems with this before?

Any help would be great, thanks

Watching events live on your N95

tagged with:, , , ,

Received an email from my fellow Dutchman Marko Derksen (MarketingFacts.nl) yesterday with a nice little video.

One of the Dutch television organizations that covered the Dutch Championships Speed Skating offers its viewers to follow the live broadcasts through a mobile service (in case you are interested, the link is http://m.nos.nl/schaatsen/live/).

Here is the video of the service being shown on a Nokia N95:

Quite amazed on the GPRS speed. For these kind of things I usually activate a 3G service.

More N95 vs iPhone (spoof) battles

Stefan and Ricky Cadden have teamed up for a series of videos in which they kinda ridicule the iPhone…

Here is the first:

YouTube Mobile: Coming Soon!

tagged with:, , , , ,

It has been quite a while since Maxine wrote about YouTube Mobile (or YouTube ToGo), so yesterday I took my N95 and surfed to the “old” YouTube Mobile test-page (http://m.youtube.com/?client=ytdemo).

When that url was just up, you could see some demo vids… then there was a period that your redirected and only got a message of non available service…
Yesterday I got this:

YouTube Mobile Coming Soon!

So while being quite surprised, I did input my number and got the following:

YouTube Mobile Coming Soon!

I cannot find any additional information or news on this, but I hope this will be enabled soon!

Keep a close eye on http://m.youtube.com!

[update] It is up and running right now…

MetaCafe vids for your Nokia N95

tagged with:, , , , , , ,

As listed on the metacafeblogs:

Metacafe Logo - GIF

Imagine you’re going on a long subway trip — far from TV and cellular signals — and you’d love to have some video entertainment. With Metacafe and a Nokia phone, that’s not a problem! Before you leave home or work, just download your favorite Producer Rewards videos from your computer to your phone — it’s easy and free. Here’s all you need:

1. A computer running Windows
2. Nokia’s Video Manager software
3. And one of these video-capable Nokia phones:

  • Nokia 5700 Express Music
  • Nokia 6110 Navigator
  • Nokia 6120 Classic
  • Nokia 6290
  • Nokia E90
  • Nokia N73
  • Nokia N76
  • Nokia N77
  • Nokia N92
  • Nokia N93
  • Nokia N93i
  • Nokia N95

Once you have all that, pick a video in the Metacafe Producer Rewards section and select the “Nokia” tab beneath the video player. When that opens, click the “Nokia Video” button to download the clip to your computer, where you can later transfer it to your phone.

Ok, as far as I know, YouTube mobile is still under construction… what is keeping them???

Frustrating: Not enough memory to edit a video

tagged with:, , , , , ,

And I am talking about my N95… ;)

Killing yet another few hours (9 hours transfer-time for crying out loud…) and made a very nice edited video with some vids, pics and sounds from the past days here in Brazil. Coming to the point where I thought let’s save this.

And yup, there it was: Not enough memory. Yes I know I have to close some other applications, only problem is that video edit was the only app open! No matter what, it keeps giving this message and now, being fed up with it, I discarded saving and wasted some (thankfully not that valuable) time.

Am I the only one? Nope. But it sure does suck, excusez le mot.

But now more important… what to do how to not let this happen anymore? What restrictions am I facing when editing a movie? Or is there a way to use the editing feature to the max???

Please share your findings!

Take a look over at N95.blip.tv

Phil, of r3wind, posts videos on an almost daily basis, all shot with his Nokia N95.

I totally dig the design of his blog by the way… him being a Mac lover helps too. ;)

Here is an example of one of his vids:

Huge Nokia N95 review + video at Phone Arena

I have to make picks what review to mention here, but this one is to big to omit.

GSM Phone Arena has put up a 9 page review of the Nokia N95, including 332 pictures and the following 7 minute video:

I will not spoil their verdict, but it is in line with what most reviewers have mentioned.

update: GSM Arena has a quite large camera review

How to edit videos on your N95

Steve Litchfield demonstrates combining images, video and music on the Nokia N95, to produce self contained, edited movies on the smartphone itself, ready for uploading to a video blog or web page.

Me like this a very lot… it shows that in fact you will not need any additional editing on a pc!

Walk-through of Nokia N95 camera features

tagged with:, , , , ,

Spanish blogger Xataka has a nice video covering a walk-through of the whole camera menu of the Nokia N95.

Although I do not like the music and I think he better had focused on something else than a white table top, the video shows quite nicely the many possibilities and settings the camera menu is offering. It looks very user-friendly and easy to use, yet offering enough possibilities to somewhat more experienced photographers.
