Sony Ericsson S710a
Videos on cell phone
So I have been playing around with videos on our awesome phone and I have a question for the more technically minded of you...According to the developers guide on the Sony-Ericsson website,
the phone only supports QCIF (176*144) size videos (and one size smaller). Now this seems a shame seeing as the phone has a large beautiful QVGA (320x240) screen. Would it be possible to write a java program to play larger videos since our phone does not natively support larger videos? It seems like there should be a way to write a media player program that has functionalities like rewind, or fast forward along with the play, pause and stop functions that the s710a supports. Any ideas, solutions?

I don't think it's up to any program or the firmware of the phone that determines the possible size for video capture, it's more or less on the part of the camera.

Ohhhhhhh OK. Then he does bring up a very good point. It would be nice if video playback could support the entire screen. At least on things that arent recorded by the phone itself, cause then it would only expand the video and look pretty crappy.
But as for video put on it, that are bigger than 174 x whatever, it would be nice to take full advantage of the big display.
