Get Video on E61 (pretty) FAST
I’ve written about Video converters/players for our E61s once and twice a while back, if you remember. Well, someone commented (a big Thank you from me) that they use MAKAYAMA Media Studio for Nokia, and I checked the website out. I thought that “Hey, this looks nice”, downloaded a demo… and forgot about it. Well, now I found some time for it so I took it for a spin. I was well amazed. I tried it with a DVD, it converted it onto my E61 (thru USB cable) in about 7 minutes!!!
I’m think that it’s totally worth the $30 that it costs… It’s pretty simple, pretty Fast. Ok click here if you are ready to test it out yourself.
PS: You don’t need to install anything onto your E61, it plays in RealPlayer on the E61
PPS: Nothing is perfect. For some reason the computer doesn’t assign a drive for my phone (with PC Suite v6.82) so this program puts my videos onto my F:/ Drive; when I noticed this it was simple to fix the problem: when you open the program, in the toolbar, click on Nokia>Phone is Drive> and select your phone’s drive name (find this in My Computer)
Update: It’s actually not that easy, I think it’s easier with S60v2 or older PC Suite because it hasn’t been optimized for the new one… I have to transfer each file onto my phone using PC Suite manually because they go to a specified drive, but never straight to the phone

Today Makayama has released Media Studio for Nokia 3.5
The new version supports new video formats, such as Youtube content and Windows Media video. A smart playlist allows transfer of videos back and forth between the desktop and the phone. And subtitles are rendered three times faster then before.

There is a free software to convert DVD to 3GP format. Try Acala DVD Ripper.
It’s free and it’s fast!
