So, what makes this video converter is better is that it can produce the playable video for your 5800 XM, that is VGA (640X480). Guys on thenokiaguide.com had said that the searching for the other video converters results in none of them that support for 640×480 video. As you know that your 5800 XM only can play 640×480 video. Only if you lower the QVGA quality, the playable video can be produced.
