Video message size limit

Hello I'm new here and I've just finished searching for information about video message size limitations. Failing to get an definitive answer I did some hands on.

Max file size: ~416 kB at 176 x 144 which is 30 sec.

The Rogue records videos in three resolutions: Camcorder direct - 640 x 480 & 320 x 240, Messaging Camcorder - 176 x 144. Camcorder direct will produce a file too big to send via MMS. Only the Messaging camcorder method works. This means knowing in advance that you are going to send the video through MMS and use the video messaging camcorder function.

1. Enter the Messaging function
2. Select (1)New Message
3. Select (3)Video Message
4. Enter your Contact(s) and text as desired.
5. Scroll down to the Video box and tap on it. This will take you to a list of your videos.
6. At the bottom of the screen is a bar titled "Camcorder". Click on this. It will start the camcorder function of the phone.
7. Record your video. Note at the bottom of the screen you have only 30 seconds max.
8. Once you are done recording, in the upper right corner of the screen is the "Add" button. Click this to add to your message. Adding it will also save it to your phone for later viewing/sending. However, there is no unique identifier to know that the file is appropriate for MMS.
9. Having been returned to your message in progress, finish filling out the remaining fields as desired, then send.

After having recorded a video in this manner I went back to My Videos and checked the file info. That's where I found out what could be sent. Also I noticed that different 30 second clips were different sizes. Not by much but still. So just guessing, the file max is probably closer to 512 kB.

I hope this helps someone. It's all I could do to alleviate my irritation with the phones manual and web resources. No mention that I could find about functional limitations.

Good luck.

Thanks for the feedback.
