Welcome to the site ^_^

What movie player are you using? the problem you may be having could be caused by the way the files are encoded.

How long have you let it run for? I'd try letting it run for a few minutes to see whether the video catches up...

I'm not sure how smartphone video's are encoded, but my first guess would be that it's a keyframe problem (not enough of them)...

There are guides for encoding in the Articles and FAQ sections.

It sounds like you might still have the GAPI problem. Try changing the Betaplayer settings to Options-Video-Video Driver-GDI.

The C500 GAPI problem was fixed with the recent Orange ROM update. Have you updated your phone yet ?
