You're welcome. It's starting to look strange that no files seem to work. I always connect my phone to PC in mass storage mode and drop the files in the video folder of the memstick. Have you tried "update media" ("settings" at the bottom of the media player) after disconnecting the phone? Shouldn't really be necessary though.

You stated earlier that you received the message "file type not supported" when transferring files. Does it still occur?
Are the files also not visible when locating the memstick's video folder via the file manager of the phone?
Have you tried transferring from PC to phone using SE PC Suite instead?
What firmware are you running?

Right some progress has been made. yes still comes up with the error when drag and dropping from folder to phone itself.
BUT can locate files and play them through the phones file manager which is strange??
Firmware version is R1BA038, believe thats the correct firmware version anyway??

Let me start by correcting myself. I use File transfer mode when connecting the phone, nothing else.
Tried it now and dropping a .doc file results in "file type not supported" message, but giving the same file a .mp4 suffix instead makes the phone accept the transfer. So every file with a .mp4 ending should be possible to add to the phones/memsticks video folder! It seems to me your error messages while transferring should not occur...
The latest firmware is R1BA042. Try updating your phone. If you use FOTA you don't have to worry about backing up data beforehand. (Main menu->Settings->General->Update service)
Try to have a 3,5G connection while updating, my experience is that FOTA times out after one minute and cancels the download if it has not been completed within this time. This won't harm your phone though, it only cancels the download before the actual update has started.

M3 is an excellent application and the preferred one when converting videos, i think. Nowadays it takes an initial extra step to get it up and running though. Since M3 when initialized always tries to connect to a certain website that is no longer in use, it crashes/shuts down. You have to enter your firewall and manually block M3 from connecting to the internet. This will solve the problem.
As to settings for conversion, use these for C905 and M3:
-phone model: ipodH264
-audio: LC-AAC, VBR 96 kbps
-video: x264 MPEG-4 AVC baseline codec, 336 kbps, 30 fps (resolution is of course 320x240 and I also choose crop 16:9 to 4:3 and sharpen 5%)
Converting .avi movies using these settings will yield excellent results on the C905.
Thank you so much for you post, this simple answer has been eluding me for months now. I am glad to say I've had great results too.
I am using v0.0898 I found somewhere, I had to use my software fireware to permanently block access to the net to stop it from crashing. Now it works perfectly.
I tried a few test runs, for size and quality, and quite frankly I can say that the settings that work best for me are:
-phone model: ipodH264 with the automatic 'smaller filesize' setting...
-video: x264 MPEG-4 AVC baseline codec, 250 kbps, 25 fps
-resolution: 320x240
(I chose to add letterbox to 16:9 to fit to 4:3, I tried this on various sized inputs with perfect results, the c905 screen is just big enough and definitely bright enough for a watchable picture.)
-audio: LC-AAC, VBR 64 kbps
I've checked a couple of results (animation/movie) against a 'high quality' 400kbps, 30fps conversion and until you make the movie 4 x the size on quicktime playback you dont see ANY difference, in fact there's not much between them at this size. I'm not so sure about the sound, 48khz stereo @ 64kbps seems terribly low to me, I will output through my headphones and check the results later, if they are bad then a few extra MB for good audio is not a problem.
m3 is a very very clean program, and it works perfectly with the right settings.
24m = 55MB
30m = 67MB
90m = 207MB
Healthy results I am convinced are close to perfect.
hansen, thanks again for clearing this up
