All,
I have recently captured some videos which I tried to burn onto CD, but first I tried to copy these files onto my PC. However, when I tried to play these with Quicktime, there was only Video with no audio at all. Let alone converting it to mpeg 2 or 3. Does anyone have any idea how I could get around this?
Also, any software I could convert this so I can burn these onto CD using Nero Burn?
Many thanks in advance.

The audio is not lost, it's just a case of a codec not available in Quicktime.
I would very much like to know how to create AVI files (using Windows Mdeia 9 video / audio codecs, or DivX/MP3 codecs) with the camera.
AVI is sooo much easier on the PC platform.

good day.
i've noticed that when we take videos using XDA 2, it records the files as MP4. It isn't good but its not bad quality, HOWEVER, I cannot seem to play it when I transfer it to my PC.
Can anyone please suggest an MP4 to any recognizable PC format converter?
Thanks.
quicktime play them
quictime can play MP4 i think.
You can also chance the capture format to AVI
in Camera settings/Tools menu at bottom/Options
im hitting myself in the head, BOING!
thanks, im weird, hehehe.
there is also a codex u can install which will allow you to play MP4 in windows media player on your PC... i will upload it when i get home ... i use it without any problems
thanks, ill be waiting for the upload.
I've made a little research....
the videos are not recorded in mp4! They are recorded in "3GP" http://www.3gp.com
but you are right, Quicktime Player is the recommended player for 3gp files (regarding the above website).
Even the "QuickTimeAlternative" did not play the files
quicktimes does at least i've never had any issues
and it's the normal version not the pro one i use
as promised pls find the codex for windows media player, which will enable you to play MPEG4 on you PC.....like i said before its worked fine with me, i have been using it for the past 8months without any problems.
Regards.
oh just in case if you want to do you research this is where i got the codex from
http://www.mpegable.com/show/mpegableds.html
i'm not trying to be anel or anything but it's codec not codex
it's a merge of Compressor / Decompressor
where codex is a manuscript volume
shouldn't it be anAl ?
[double submit]
Can't find the delete checkbox
heh yeah well i do suppose i could blame it on that maybe the forum had a curse filter ..... but i'm not going to ...
There's also 3gp2rawavi command line utility that seems to work for the 3gp files produced by the XDAII.

I have asked this question before but the problem was not solved.
I own a Panasonic DMR-E100H DVD & hard disk recorder that also records onto SD card. The output is an ASF MPEG4 video file format with G726 mono audio codec. My XDAIIi will play the video via Windows Media Player 10 for Pocket PC but there is no sound produced, so I assume there is no built in G726 decoder in WMP10 for PocketPC.
Is anyone aware of a plug in that can be downloaded or installed to help WMP for Pocket PC play G726 encoded files or has anyone developed software that will play .ASF files with G.726 audio codec? I have searched Handango and not found any application that will support this.
The only way I have managed to get to watch the files on my XDAIIi is by using Windows Media Converter to convert the .ASF file into a .WMV file with a playable audio codec. This process takes hours for a full length movie so it defeats the purpose of being able to use my Panasonic HDD recorder to record TV programmes to watch on the train etc.
Please can someone help or share their own experiences with Panasonic home video SD recording and playback on XDA software.
To help things along I have attached a short video clip in .ASF format as recorded on my Panasonic DMR-E100H this morning. Please try playing it to see if it plays on your XDA and let me know how your device is configured. Mine is a standard O2 XDAIIi with WMP10 for Pocket PC.

Dear All,
Is there a software that i need in order to convert Windows media Player 9 files, in .avi format before downloading to my Xda Exec? I tried a couple of times but it just says the format is not supported. Any help is greatly appreciated, thanks
regards,
Ravi
When you got WMV files your Universal's media player shouldn't have much problems with it. For larger files, say like ripped DVD's I use PocketDivxEncoder to shrink them & TCPMP to play them back on my Magician. Works like a dream & both programs are free .

I often use Windows Media Encoder to convert avi's and mpegs to wmv files.
The built in wizard includes options for Pocket PC sized files (320x240, low-ish quality sound) but you can totally vary the Bitrate (video & sound) to suit whatever quality/size balance you prefer.
You can download it from here:
http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/forpros/encoder/default.mspx
And it's totally free.
The only downside is that it doesn't seem to be able to rip a DVD directly and convert to wmv. I normally need to use a 3rd party ripper to convert the dvd to mpeg or avi.
Nowadays though with my new 4Gig SD Card - I just whap the full movie (700 odd meg) onto it and play it with the best PPC media player available: TCPMP (The Core Project Media Player)
(Oh - Windows Media Encoder is also useful if you have a TV card in your desktop - you can stream the TV out onto the net/intranet allowing you to watch your programmes on your XDA
Still unable to convert
Hi guys,
I downloaded the Windows media encoder but i am unable to convert the .avi file. Everytime i choose the input file and the output and click finish it says ''Input media format is invalid'' Why is that?????
I chose the Pocket PC option as i would like to view the file on my XDA but i keep getting this error msg.
Would it be helpful, if i downloaded another software for conversion???
regards,
Still unable!!!!!
Hi guys,
Downloaded the PocketDivxencoder and converted the file but when i tried playing it on my XDA it says file format not supported!!!!!
Is it a problem with the Windows Media player that i am using?????
Is Windows media player the default player for the XDA? Would it be helpful if i installed another Media Player?
Where can i get this TCPMP ?
Any suggestions would greatly appreciated,
thanks and best regards,
What kind of avi are you using, a divx maybe? Cause avi is just a container for many formats & wme doesn't support all of them.
Regards, M
Just google for tcpmp it's really easy to find.

OK DONE!!!
Hi guys,
Sorry for the multiple posts, but i finally managed to download TCPMP and converted the files via PocketDivxencoder and it now works...FINALLY!!!!!
Sorry to have bothered everyone,
regards,
I got it with the PocketDivxencoder too.
BUT: I got several avi-files, is it possible to get only one big file?

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Just put the installer (the cab file) on to your SD card then browse to that location on your phone using file explorer and then run the installer.
Yeah, AFAIK the best one is TCPMP for windows mobile.
Transcoding video clips for the Sense video player
If you want to use the Sense video player you have to transcode most video clips.
I used HandBrake to convert my favorite clips to MP4 (H.264 AVC).
Following settings are necessary in every video transcoder so that the clips are played:
Set B-Frames and 8x8 DCT to 0.
Another option is to select "iPod" as preset and increase the bitrate to 1000 kbps and the display resolution to your needs.
Set the framerate (FPS) same as source to avoid judder.
cheers guys
So did it work. I had a similar problem? I just havent tried in a while
Hi
When I am trying to transfer an avi video on my Nexus 7, I am receiving the following warning:
The File "filename here" may be copied to the device for storage or transport use only. It is not supported for use on the device itself. If possible, use a media program that can convert the file before copying it. If you copy the file now, it will be stored on the device, but may not be presented in the device user interface. Do you wish to copy the file anyway?
Now I have installed MX Player, however I am receiving the same warning. Any ideas what can I do to view avi files on nexus 7?
Thanks in advance.
Is this the computer telling you this? If so, just ignore it and copy anyway. The computer doesn't really know what your device can or cannot do, it is just making a dumb assumption. You should be able to play the video with no problems.

Hi
Thanks for your reply. Yes the message was given by the computer. In fact, I followed your suggestion and copied it anyway, however I got a message that the video cannot be played. Also I tried downloading other apps (bs player and dice), however I still got the same message.
Any other suggestions what can I try please as converting them to mp4 seems to be taking a lot of time.
Thank you in advance.
Hi
Just as an update I have tried the following but all to no success:
- In MX Player I tried to play the avi file in S/W decoder but still got the message that the video cannot be played
- I tried to download the ARM7 codec for MX Player - again with no success
- Tried to install the DICE Player, but still the avi files cannot be played.
Any other suggestions would be greatly appreciated as I am really stuck.
Thank you in advance.
Hmm... perhaps try using MoboPlayer.

Hi
Thanks for your reply. I have downloaded the MoboPlayer as suggested but unfortunately to no avail. Not sure if it helps, but the following are the avi properties of the file I am trying to play (the file was recorded from a digital camera)
Image 640x480
Audio: bitrate - 64kbps, audio sample size 8 bit and audio format - CCITT u-Law
Video: framerate 30fps and data rate 6745 kbps.
Just as a side note, I tried several other avi files which I have on my computer, but I am receiving the same message for all of them.
Thanks for your help.
Regards
AVI isn't a video format as such but a container, the actual audio and video can be any number of different codes (divx, xvid, aac, mp3 etc etc)
I'd guess your video camera is producing a file that might be a more unusual codec. I used to have a tool o the my pc that would analyse the file and tell you what codecs it used, can't remember what it was called though.
Based on the info above and a little googling the audio seems to be in a format mainly for recording phone calls in call centres. So it's already looking like a weird format from that alone

thx jimbobvfr400 for your reply. Actually I managed to solve part of the problem. I used the Gspot v 2.1 utility to identify the codec being used. As for the avi in question, the codec is mjpg and this did not play with the apps I tried. Eventually, I tried copying another avi on the nexus, and initially I received the same warning before transferring the file. This time I used an xvid avi and although at first it didn't work, I tried to play it in Soft decoder and it worked fine.
So at least I can play the xvid types but so far not the mjpg files. If anyone managed to play these type of files your feedback would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
