Do you have any experiences playing unconverted video in HTC P4350?
And what about videos from YOUTUBE?
THANX...
Dunno, but for now you can use http://tinytube.net/
Just to clear stuff up:
I'm running DivX Mobile 0.88 on WM6 Herald.
Even if it is NOT overclocked, it plays every divx file fluently. The thing is to encode the files with DrDivx in the first place.
Just put the file you want on your mobile onto DrDivX, set the Mobile Profile and let it encode. Thats it - works very nice and shiny.
reencoding videos? no, thanks
playing with a tmobile wing right now and it plays everything from my site in my signature. so yes it will play xvids mp4s long as they are converted correctly.

well... then its around around 15-20 frames on a HDTV Movie.
It makes NO SENSE adding a 1 GB Movie to the SD Card when you can have SAME QUALITY with 80 MB... its just a matter of will.

I understand it, but I would never do the conversion, because it's time-wasting. I just want to have a CHANCE to watch a divx file sometimes, but for this purpose I will have KAISER, once it's available
well... mark all *.avi and let it convert over night.
100 films in PDA Quality per night...
but ok - wasting time for doing senseless crap is the pleasure of some people in some country with some mobile phones....

hi,
i've got one of the first pda's a t-mobile mda compact. On that device i played wmv files with 320x240 ~350kByte/sec from the sd card. they has a size between 199M and 35MB. With the program "speedy vcr" i record a lot of movies and tv-shows directly into 320x240.
Since this time i only need to copy some records to my sd card an could see my favoried tv-shows or movies. This was funny, when i was traveling by train or plane.
But - since i've got a O2 tera, the videos dont play smooth on that device. it runs with only 3fps. I tested anything to get it smoothly. I tested coreplayer. This software can run xvid and divx videos on that device. But i dont have xvid and divx files and i dont want to convert them.
If the herald pda don't can play videos with the sice of 320x240 in media player this must be a bug in windows mobile. I tested a 160x120 video also with 350 byte/sec and it runs smoothly. The decoder has also to encrypt 350Byte/sec. The only different is the resolution. I suggest that the windows media player transfer the calculation result of the video encoding through a .NET program code. And that is the pottle leak.
At the end - we can't play videos with the media player, because the microsoft programmer are so stupid, they cant reach a life time abouth 35 Years. ( because mom dies, and nobody feed them and they also die )
could somone please direct me to a working link to divx mobile player. I cant seem to find any. http://mobile.divx.com/ doesnt seem to be working. Thanks
Which program do i need to convert soundfiles on my computer to my tytn2 and also videos???!
it plays most the formats the pc does
no need to convert unless you have storage formats on your
pc and can't find a player for your pda which play them
What type of files are you trying to play? Like rudegar said it should play pretty much anything. You may also be interested in a music/video player program called CorePlayer.
i got
latest harry potter, transformer.
Thats in *.avi, in my laptop i use vlcplayer to se it but when i copy those files to my kaiser i want to convert and it always taking more than 8hours before it's finished.

Coreplayer shoul play most of the video files, link below :
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=W54LB7XQ
"when i copy those files to my kaiser i want to convert and it always taking more than 8hours before it's finished."
is that using the SD mode connection or just activesync file sync?
because the later is not a good way to do that
also if the movies is in a high res they may not play too well so
reencoding them in the res of the kaisers screen would be a good idea
okey
but my sd adapter dont work...
both films are in good quality but what size shall i choose??? so it fits my kaiser screen?

Pocketdivxencoder works best for pocket pc n choose pda when it opens up (320x240 resolution)
Link : http://www.pocketdivxencoder.net/EN_index.htm
Try
erightsoft - Super
search google or in this forums for best settings pending on your prefences for audio/video you can probably get a 700mb file down to about 150mb with decent quality. This has been discussed a couple times already in these forums, use the search I think I posted my settings once.
super is free but latest builds have been buggy see if you can find an earlier version, right now i personally use "Any video converter pro" compressed a 2gb divx file to a 565mb mp4 file(just so i can use on Ipod or other phones)
settings for that was
codec Mpeg4
size 320x240
vbitrate 512
vframerate 15
audio codec aac
abitrate 32
sample rate 11025
they have about 30 settings built in, but I like these settings, the videos have played on a behold, instinct, my tilt and wing, nokia 5300, and my ipod so pretty good compatibility. hope this helps. Aloha
Hi,
I am quite new to the Windows Mobile scene buying the new HTC HD2 (Leo).
I am looking to convert movie files from .AVI to .MP4 for my HD2 but I was wondering.
1) What is the best converter to use for a Mac.
2)What is the best settings. I.e. Bitrate, Audio, fps, kbps and so on.
I have tried a couple of settings but really have no clue to the best settings.
Any information and help is much appreciated!
I use the files that also work on my iPhone.
So,
.mp4 h.264
1408kbps or 768kbps
audio 160kbps
fps - I leave as the same as source
As for a MAC program - I would use Handrake.
All just my personal settings - others will of course, have other views.
What's the point of converting AVI? HD2 can play it pretty well without any conversion.

wow, who nicked the jam out of your donut?
If you read my original reply, I'm using files that I already have for my iPhone. some of which I've converted, others that I've downloaded.
So I've not really wasted any time. I was simply offering an option to the OP.
The main reason I added that it was my opinion, was so that others didn't need to add how things COULD be done differently, just for the sake of it.
now the OP has at least 2 options - Just use the avi's or re-encode ( or grab h.264 files from other sites).

Can I ask you which player do you use.
I have movies on my sd card and with Coreplayer I get error message "File not found!\Storage (FFFFFFF8)". And with Windows media player I get error "Cannot play the file". Movie plays just fine from internal memory but that one lacks space.
Any advise would be much appreciated.
I forgotten to mention that the codec is Xvid.
I have tried playing some of my .avi formatted movies and I get errors with windows media player and I have tried a movie I d/l in .mp4 and both album and media player will play it but the screen is grey with sound and every now and then the picture will come on.
I'm guessing due to wrong settings.
I am just looking for the best settings to get smooth play and clearest viewing. I'm not too fussed with size as I have a large enough card.

I am using the same mate, I had all my AVI files converted to my old iPhone and I have found that they play great on my HTC HD2, infact I think they look even better with bigger screen, But that's just my opion.
The converter I used was download from the Pirate Bay and it's free from their home page VioVideoConverter
I'm not actually using coreplayer.
I did have coreplayer on my HTC Touch HD but i'm seeing about just utilising the album player and windows media player.
Any of the guys using HD2 can test these videos and let me know if they work fine or have problems playing?
http://www.multiupload.com/DYPQ7Q3LDW
I'm using the last Coreplayer.
But I figured if it works for you it should for me to.
So I figured out that if I run movie from Resco explorer or built in explorer the problem is still there but if I run it from Coreplayer via open command the movie works.
So there must be a problem how explorer sends a location path to the coreplayer on HD2.
Is this only me or do you experience the same behavior to?

All three files play, but they seem a bit jerky in places. They're not the best samples to test video with.
They suffer from artifacts in quite a few place using WMP, and in Core Player, they are jerky. Personally, I wouldn't suffer watching them, but they do play.
It looks like you used isom advanced video codec. I find that h.264 gives superb results.

Well, they are done using x264, AVC is just a subset of it. Plays fine on the PC, but I have no HD2 to test yet, so need some help.
Hmm...I'm using mencoder/winmenc to encode, so can't just update without the coders of mencoder updating. Mencoder is in turn a derivative of x264 if i read correctly. Meanwhile I will do some research on a GUI for x264.exe. I've used mencoder for most of my encodes so far on other phones, and it's been pretty good to me.
Here's another two encodes, this time with lesser (only 1) ref-frames, and using the latest version of the mencoder.exe....do let me know if it's better/worse. One is with the [email protected] profile (which i guess will have trouble), the other is with the good old [email protected] profile.

I have tested a couple of settings and I have found a format that works so far and is great quality.
I'm using Xilisoft Converter on Mac OS X.
MP4
Bit Rate: 2000-2500(Max)
Frame: 29.97
Audio Codec: mpeg4aac
Bit Rate: 192
Channel: 2
I am using the PS3 pre-settings then changes the video size to 800x480. It's great quality and plays smooth but the file size jumps from 700mb to 1.8g so any idea's on how to bring that down???
I'm still checking out different settings..

Your bitrate is too high.
If you're converting standard def media, 1200-1800 should be more than enough.
Also, if the resolution of the source is less than 800x480 in the first place, don't waste space trying to up the resolution. Re-encode at the original resolution.

Both seemed to play better than than the preivous encodes in WMP - no artifacts. Looked nice & smooth.
Core Player still struggled - very jerky.
Would be much easier to guage a non-animation/less dark sample.
hi. thinking of moving from the compact iv to hd2! question: how easy is it watch movies on the go with hd2? how big sd card would it need,,, and what format is the best to convert dvd's or tv program recordings? ta!
(the screen is so huge,,, looks like next gen iphone will be copying htc!)

If you rip dvds with something like Nero, you can create DivX avi files that will play a treat in core player.
The native Windows WMP format plays perfectly in media player too.
The native HTC player format is mp4, and to be honest, that looks the best to me, but DivX in core player is about 99% as good.
Whenever I have something to watch, it's usually a DivX file, so I just copy it to the phone and watch it as is, without conversion (about 350MB per hour). I have a 16GB card with about 6GB of music, 2GB of installers and installed apps, and therefore 8GB free to put vids on (at the moment).
I should be able to get about 10 films on there, or 20 typical episodes of TV programs, at the above-stated average size.
A few people have had problems with core player, but there's plenty of settings that you can change. I've got it set to play nicely now, and there's very rarely any lag (toggling fullscreen off and then back on gets rid of that for me), and it looks gorgeous on the massive bright screen.
I am using HTC Touch HD video converter (use search in the forums for download ). It works fine to convert for example divx movies.

Yes me too. I converted several TV shows and the audio remained out of sync by about 0.25 seconds for the duration.
If you can get Core Player or TCPMP (core player beta) working well (which just takes some settings fondling), then you don't need to convert things. AVIs and MPEGs play perfectly for me.

Yeah, I know what you mean too! In fairness, the hi-def movie test thread with the helicopters movie on it looks sooooooooo much sharper and cleaner in the HTC player than it does in CorePlayer.
I'm just impatient. I just "rip" a movie or tv show and watch it straight off. I find converters to usually take as long as it takes to watch it.

Hehe, When I get time I am going to dowload a variety of converters and try to find one I like and one that works well. Ideally the one that was made for the HD would be perfect if the audio sync was fixed. I must admit though I havn't had chance to actively look for any solutions to that problem yet.
One thing I would like from the HTC Player would be a resume option.
Settings in Core Player
Everyone is talking about these Settings in Core Player:
I have searched the web and couldn´t find any good settings.
Can someone please share the settings for Core Player here ?
Thanks in advanvce.

In CorePlayer, go to Menu, Tools, Settings, Select Page, Video and set output to Raw FrameBuffer or GDI, and make sure quality is High. I also set Smooth Zoom on (not sure what it is though), and turn Dither off (I've had it hang on me when this was on).
I have mine on Raw, and it plays movies that are SD (telly size) perfectly. I can watch them on my TV via my PC, or just copy the AVI onto my memory card and watch them on the phone.
Thank You , I´ll try the new settings when i get home.
Thanks

What version are you using? That's been in every version of coreplayer I've had.
I've just done a hard reset on my phone, and haven't installed coreplayer yet, so I can't tell you how to do it exactly, but the it's in menu under options and I believe it's orientation. Also, when a movie is playing it, touching it usually makes it landscape and fullscreen too.

okay, whats the best movie format for the tilt2, i've searched and still confused, if mpeg4, avi, divx, etc...also what's the best app to watch them in: TCPMP, coreplayer or the stock steaming that is loaded already..etc....
thanks in advance,
fyi, might be will to share some movie by posting it on a server for a couple days...=)
What I prefer for movie format is straight up Windows Media Video . Its great and its stock for Windows Mobile.
The Encoder for your PPC is called Windows Meda Encoder 9 (Google it).
Instructions.
Here are the steps to get the video size you want, which I hope you will try, you must go to the New Session Wizard, then click on Convert a File (If you are trying to convert a video file into WMV).
Then find your source file which is your Video you want to watch on your TP2, after that choose your output (Where you want to put that file after it encoded into WMV)
After click Pocket PC (Note that you won't change resolution here)
After all that, choose specifically Pocket PC widescreen video (CBR), then choose the quality of your Bitrate, Audio, and if you want you can add all the Description to your video file if you'd like. (Note that you won't change resolution here either)
Click next, and DON'T check mark Begin converting when I click finish.
Then click finish, after that click Properties on your Windows Media Encoder 9 (it should be on top with a Check mark inside a paper symbol) and click the Video Size Tab. There at the bottom of the wizard you should find Width and Height, set the Resolution to 800 x 480 if you want to view your video horizantel or 480 x 800which is vertical ( which I don't prefer ) After all that, your video should be small but at a good quality and allowing you to have free space on your Micro SD card, and it should be playing on WMP on your phone.
Hope my 2 cents helps
Like avi... Have 700+Mb movie files converted from dvds and they work like a dream...

i have another question, whats the best average size movie to put on the tilt 2 and still have good picture and runs smooth
About the average size for a movie would be almost 200MB to 300MB depending on the amount of time of the movie.

I suppose whether it can be converted properly or not depends on the software you are useing and the source of the file.... who knows what could be wrong with it if you stole it off the internet. If you ripped it from your own dvd/bluray and it isnt working I would say that's likely because what ever converter program you are using doesnt work.
That said.. I dont bother coverting anything really. avi/mpg whatever format they come in TCPMP or Core player will play them just fine.
