Sidekick LX Video details
Wondering what the Sidekick will be able to record and playback as far as video is concerned? We’ll we’ve got the 411 straight from the manual:
Note! The SonicBOOM Media Player will play 3GP and MP4 (simple profile) video files, and MP3, WAV, MIDI, WMA, AAC (MP4), XMF, RMF, AIFC, IMY, AMR music files. It will not play RAM, M4P, FLAC, RA, AVI, or any other file that is not listed above.
Sorry gang, no YouTube support this time around. Maybe when a 3G device comes out in the distant future.
As for the format the Camera will record videos in, it looks like that’s going to be .3gp files using the H.263 video codec. Should be nice and small for sending to your friends.

Would have been nice to have youtube but hey can’t expect to much I guess. Camera upgrade and video is still great. Also this is only the next id. Is there a youtube app or something or is that just a rumour I heard somewere?

Is this for the LX or Gekko? Or sit it for both?

there is still hope for youtube.
m.youtube.com streams videos in 3GP format..

I hope m.youtube.com works, but they said something bout youtube working with H.264, and the LX is H.263

well it not like he isnt telling the truth. The Ocean is worlds better than the kick. and now that the Ocean 2 is coming out, there really isn’t any stopping helio. I use to love my kick but it really pales in comparison, quite a lot.

Do you think we can at least be able to record video using our phone then convert it’s format so we can post our videos on Youtube?

I think it should be. Maybe use the USB to PC then convert it’s format then post your video on Youtube. It does make a sense. It should, isn’t it ? 🙂
