Nokia 700 video and audio codecs

[ Edited ]

In my work I am using different nokia phones. I testing different videosamples on new arrived Nokia 700 (Belle). I collected videosamples  from N9, X7, C7, E7. There are for example: 

Nokia Pure, Wild Ocean ROW, The Ride demo video clips. I can notice that Nokia 700 cannot play audio for all these video clips. I have also several mp4 video files taken from different phones. Some of them cannot show video, one cannot play sound, and only 2 works OK. 

Flash video files with ".flv" extention shows fine but I cannot rewind video properly. After I rewind first time e.g. on the middle, it works, second attempt to rewind just freezes video forever.

 

All viideo files described above plays fine on the Nokia N8 with latest Anna firmware upgraded.

 

The question: Why Belle device has so little codecs support in comparison to old perfect Anna nokia N8 phone? When to expect update of codecs for Belle firmware (and flash player fix for flv files rewind)?

Nokia might have missed those codecs they might add them if they provide any updates to 700.

Ok lemke77, then the only option is to covert the audio or video files to the format supported by your phone. This you can do using PC and some converter apps.

"the only option is to covert the audio or video" - it is not the only and not the best option. I know another one: use old Nokia N8 or switch to android 2.3 phones , they can play all kind of video and audio files.  

I can see that Elop messed up a lot in company after february this year. How Belle firmware can have less codecs that Anna? I am sorry about Nokia and their employees.

Re: Nokia 700 video and audio codecs

Are you upset because you can't play downloaded YOUTUBE videos in .flv format in your phone?
If that is the reason then I suggest you to use picobrother's youtube downloader app from Nokia store....it is free and it can download any searched youtube videos in either 360p or 720p quality in .mp4 format which I guess works perfectly in Belle os
"If I'm helpful in anyway, a click of appreciation on the star button would be considered as thanks.....Current phones Nokia Lumia 920 and Nokia N9 "

I am upset because of regression of Nokia software development related to symbian belle platform related to video playback. Btw. fyi youtube downloader from picobrothers is not available for Nokia 700 in Nokia Store.
