I know there are threads here discussing video compatibility issues with OS 4.5. But I havent been able to get some cut and dry answers as to a breakdown of supported video codecs and bitrate limits for each. im assuming 320X240 is the biggest we can go right for resolution? any source for this info would be appreciated.

and to clarify... videos on my old 4.3 worked. after the upgrade to 4.5 all them failed to play. I would definitely say this is a 4.5 lack of support issue. unless there is a hidden setting that turns off codec support.

I've had this as an intermittant issue that is always fixable with a battery pull

well have have fully reset the system with softreset program. I assume this is the same thing as a battery pull as it is completey turned off for a sec.

From my studies concerning the Blackberry Media plugin and it's codecs ranging from OS 4.3 to OS 4.5 I have found the following information to be true.


As long as you are not running OS 4.5, you can use the following.

3gp (AAC codec)
3gp (H.263 codec)
3gp (Mpeg4 codec)
3gp (Divx codec)
3G2 (Divx codec)
3G2 (Mpeg4 codec)
MP4 (Mpeg4 Codec)
MP4 (Divx codec)
WMV (Older formats, newer ones won't play...I forget the version numbers)


However, if you are running OS 4.5 only the following work:

3gp (Divx codec)
3G2 (Divx codec)
MP4 (Divx codec)


If you are interested in my studies, you can find my posted research by searching for the threads that I have created.
I still have not found a solution to the video problems with OS 4.5 and it's abbreviated codec library...but I am getting closer to resolving the problem. My theory is that a combination of OS modules will provide the expanded Codec library of OS 4.3 with the modified media player of OS 4.5, but I have yet to isolate the .COD that contains the Codecs in OS 4.3.127

well with 4.5 OS i know that 3gp with mpeg4 will work. it seems mpeg4 in general is the most compatible. where as divx h263/4 give lots of problems.
