Ladies and gents, let me introduce Nokia Internet Tablet Video Converter, the first Beta Labs application for Nokia Internet Tablets. That's right, Beta Labs is not for S60 and S40 devices only: we are going to have lots of cool stuff for Internet Tablets such as Nokia N810 and Nokia N800 in the future too!! (I wonder if we should set up a dedicated section for these).
Anyway, all you N800 and N810 owners, try this out:
With Nokia Internet Tablet Video Converter, you can easily convert your videos

So 770 is not supported? Does N800 need the OS2008 update (not yet available I think).
Hi Tommi. I'm sorry to say I can't help much with the application as I don't have an Internet Tablet and have Windows Vista. But I do want to express my opinion about creating a special section for these apps: I think it's a great idea. That way, people could browse by platform and you wouldn't have 3 post about S60, 1 about something else etc.
Also, when is this blog moving to the main Betalabs site?

Hopefully this week. Something broke yesterday, otherwise I would have done it already.
I'm not impressed, for several reasons (which I've already provided in the feedback button)
1. Only a Windows client. The Tablet community is much more OS-diverse than the S60 community, and this will definitely limit use.
2. It took a 720MB file and created an 800MB one. That helps me zero.
3. After creating the file, it asked me where to save it, and took a few seconds to do so. Why not ask me that before, and then automatically put it there? Seems silly.
4. It locked up at 100% and said "21 seconds" remaining for about an hour. XP on a Core Duo with a gig of ram.
only a windows xp client?! additional clients please!!! Im running OSX and vista so im out of luck!
An additional request for an OS X 10.4- 10.5 compatible version.
Jukka Eklund - N800 does not require OS2008 update, it works fine with OS 2007.
Ricky Cadden - The point of this application is to reach out to a more mainstream non-techie audience, who are almost certainly using Windows. That's why it's such a simple app with virtually no advanced options. Linux and OSX users who want to convert video already have plenty of much more powerful applications, and if you do use Linux or OSX it's likely that you'd prefer one of those.
Having said all that, the app has been written using the Mozilla engine so I assume it would be relatively easy to port to many different platforms.
Yes, there is tablet-encode for GNU/Linux users. Can be used on other platforms too.
good app, but I'll suggest some new features:
1) direct encoding from an URL
2) output to at least 640*480 resolution (the current output res limit is 400*200, quite poor)
and...could it be integrated in the video center aggregator?

The Visual C++ package does not install, so the converter does not install.
"Error creating process . Reason: C:\WINDOWS\system32\advpack.dll"
Any ideas?
newbie, do not understand the process, dvd decrypter gives me vts.vob files, then how do I get 1 mpeg4 file to put on my n800.???? sorry so stupid
I installed the app on Vista64 Ultimate without any problems. I then converted a video file from a 2912KB wmv file to a 1226KB mp4 file. I then downloaded the file to my N800 running the OS2008 Beta version and it played perfectly on my N800 media player. Yes I know they said the app wasn't Vista compatible so install at your own risk, but it installed in the X86 program folder in Vista 64 without a single problem. Vista gets an undeserved bad rap for many things but it really is an amazing OS that has quite a bit of flexibility built into it.
the converter looks nice unfortunately i would never be able to use it since i run Ubuntu Linux on all my computers which brings me to my point. its really unfair that there is no Linux port. This device runs Linux OS that was built by members of the Linux community, its only fair that a port is made for Linux users. i know the assumption is that linux users are techie and would find a way for them selves. but that is not the case any more Ubuntu is very user friendly, an easy and simple app like this to convert video for the n810 would go a long way to help make our lives easier. please please and please dont exclude us from this N810 goodness
