Playing a movie on M6 SL

Okay. This is my second day of using my new M6 SL.
So I decided I wanna watch a movie on it. I took a 2 hour 700mb movie and recoded it with batman with quality profile: Q4. The recoded version became 398mb 350kbps @ 20fps. Ok.
I uploaded it on my player and right from the beginning I noticed lag... Quality is perfect but every few seconds sound and picture will stop for a split second.. At first I thought batman damaged the movie while recoding but then I watched the movie again and it lagged at different places so it seemed like the player isn't powerful enough to play it smoothly...Once it even lagged so much the video was falling behind sound for like 5-10 seconds. Do you guys get that too ? Is it normal ? How to fix it ?

And I also noticed I can't rewind forward. Whenever I try the movie ends.

I use the latest firmware 2.004.6

A guy did recently asked about how to fix the fast forward problem here

you need enough free space on your Meizu because video playing produces some buffer output. 50-100 MB should be sufficient.
Fast Forward problem is solved here. (problem #7)

My 4GB meizu is almost empty... I have only about 200mb of music and that movie on it.

try this!

Actually at 350kbps and 20fps it's quite usual for these playback hiccups to happen on the M6 (sometimes even causing audio to go out of sync). The processor/decoding algorithm is just not powerful enough.

According to the M6 specs, it should handle up to 512kbps, but that's probably a peak value, whereas your 350kbps is just a an average value that can actually go above that.

DivX and XviD have profiles that allow you to limit this, but so far I found the available profiles to be inadequate for the M6: only XviD has a profile that is restrictive enough, but then it's too restrictive and quality sucks. A while ago, I started doing some tests with the DivX VBV (video buffer verifier) option, to try and find a set of values that would guarantee seamless playback without too much quality loss, but I'm unsuccessful so far.

Bottom line: as far as I know, there is currently no guaranteed solution for the video playback problems. But if you try with lower bitrate values you might get some better results.

Sunless I tried that and its the same thing.

I even tried recoding a movie with quality profile: Q3 and there was still the same amount of lag.. Then I recoded an episode of southpark(20min) with Q4 and it played smoothly for the whole 20 minutes.. Im really confused and a bit dissapointed, thought im gonna be able to watch full length movies on this thing.

same thing here

I used the Handheld XviD profile and it worked fine.

southpark might be exceptional, because it not a very complex set of frames to encode and compress... there is like 9 colors total, and just a few elements move on a static background. Just a theory.

Is there a way you can get a file thats known to run well on someone elses m6?
