Hiya, i have had my c500 for ages but on my half an hour break from work i popped into the orange store, and with no prior initention, i bought a c550. I'm impressed with the slight improvemnents, but one thing i'm struggling with now, is the wmp, in my c500, when i selct full screen, whatever size the video is it goes full screen, right to the edges of the screen, NO EXCEPTIONS!. But when i play the same video on my c550 it only uses up part of the screen. Does anyone know how to change this, i simply can't enjoy, my movies on such a small setting

The reason for that is that your movies are encoded for the lower resolution of your old SPV C500. The SPV C550 has a larger screen resolution and so movies will need to be reencoded. You'll find that some Smartphone software will have the same issue (a black border) for the same reason.

As time goes by and QVGA Smartphones become more mainstream the new software should have been adapted...

also use tcpmp to play your vids at full screen, it makes the videos fit the whole screen and watching videos in qvga is exeptional

Thanks for the help guys, i've kept hearing about this tcmp player, but i like havin jus one media player on my phone. I hate the fact dat a problem is never really solved, e.g my problem with the video size. But we have to jus find alternatives. i wanna exhaust every option on wmp then possibly move to tcmp. Bt u guys have helped me much, i'll have a look around and c if i can re encode d vids. great.
