This thread is about getting a movie onto a Nokia N91. asked how to do that, and and gave good starting tips. Below is a short, practical workflow that focuses on conversion settings, file-size planning, and simple troubleshooting you can apply with most converters.

  1. Make a quick test clip (10–30 seconds) from the movie and convert that first. Use conservative settings: reduce pixel dimensions to roughly the phone screen, lower frame rate (12–20 fps is often enough for dialogue scenes), and pick a modest audio bitrate (commonly 32–96 kbps).
  2. Estimate the total bitrate you need to hit a target file size with this formula:
    total_kbps ≈ (target_size_MB 8192) / duration_seconds
    Example: to fit about 15 MB for a 3-minute (180 s) clip: (15     8192) / 180 ≈ 683 kbps total. Subtract audio (say 64 kbps) to get the video bitrate to use.
  3. Create a custom profile in the converter with those settings and run the short test. If playback is OK, batch-convert the rest; if not, lower bitrate/frame rate or try mono/lower sample-rate audio.

Troubleshooting checklist: if a converted file won’t play, try a smaller bitrate/frame rate and re-test; convert audio to mono or a lower bitrate; rename the file extension to a lowercase extension the phone recognizes and place the file where the handset expects media (phone memory or removable storage). For feature-length movies, consider splitting into parts to keep per-file sizes manageable. Also be mindful of copyright: only convert material you are allowed to copy.

my cell phone is Nokia N91. what software should i download?

Member Avatar for Junyah

I'm taking a guess thats the new phone with bluetooth .. you want to load the newest version of nokia suite for PC to put on the PC its free

they dont have a version for MAC.. If you have a Mac you have to buy Datapoint software

You want to search for a cable also .. the bluetooth works but If want fast data transfers use the cable... check your manual or the nokia site ... my nokia is a 62551 and I use bluetooth and a CA 53 Nolia to USB cable...

Find out if your phone is GSM or CDMA

keep me posted ..

me again .. I made a mistake on your cable...its DKE 2 about 29.00 us

I think they are on version 6.2 or 6.8 by now for the PC...just go to the nokia site.

my friend told me the use the converter software named something just like Xilisoft. i just want to have a try.And thank u a lot,guy.

Yes 3gp is the best option. The file size is very small and the quality is good. Xilisoft can be used to convert avi video to 3gp.
