It's seem that video recorder that already installed in the phone can record just about 9-13 seconds. So, is there any other program that can record video for longer times....? And where can I download a program that can convert a movie from a cd (and make it's size smaller or shorter time) so I can load the part of the movie to my phone !!! Please..... reply..... And where can I download symbian games for free ?

Are you using the main mobile phone memory or the card to store the video?

Select options and change storage to Memory Card. Of course, if your memory card is empty you record more than when the memory card is half full or nearly full.

When you post, can you note it's a 3650 - I know it, but some new users might be lost and not give you an answer!

10 maybe 12 seconds is the max. on the 3650's video recorder. Remember, multi-media file formats are large (even in the phone's compressed format) and are designed for transmission from the phone. Since MMS is one of the sending options, it is the limiting factor at least in the US (bluetooth & ir being the other options).

You can send .AVI, .MPG, .MP3, .MP4, .WAV, .NIM or QuickTime files from your pc through PC Suite if you enabled the converters at installation. It will convert to the phone's internal format. Just be careful and watch the size and send it to the memory card, not the phone memory.

Mauricio is correct that you should definitely set your "memory in use" option to be the memory card due to the large size of these files. Otherwise, you'll run out of shared memory real quick.

Hope this helps
