Hi there

video resolution Question : if i had a video file with the res 1280*690 for say, will my phone with a res of 720*544 for example play the video at a lower resolution. or would i have to convert the original to a lower res?


SD Question: if i buy a new sd card do i plug it into the phone first or format it on a pc first.

1st question depends on the phone, and there are some Apps that will allow for this to be viewed at lower resolution if the stock app does not

2nd question, no need to format it first, simply transfer what you need on it and then put it in your phone.

It will play fine. My Galaxy S has a screen resolution of 800x400, I can record videos of 1280x720 from the camera and they play fine.
