What the best movie player... Also, im using tcpmp, is that the best?
Thanks
guys
yes.
8125 is excellent for watching movies. I've ripped a few DVDs that I own and watched them on the train with my 8125. TCPMP rocks and 8125 screen is killer, also a little sun resistant.
thanks for the replies guys, the video does look awesome
Playback is slow at times. is it for you guys as well. did you overclock...
im a newb here and im receiving my 8125 (which i could not select in my profile) on saturday.
should i get the media player listed above? is the built in not good?
does overclocking improve performance?
I haven't experienced any significant playback issues for MPEG4/Divx/Xvid encoded movies using TCPMP. As long the videos are encoded in the native resolution of 320x240 or below, you should be fine. Even at higher bitrates, you should be ok. For larger sized videos, I've seen some stuttering. Overclocking will improve performance. If you don't want to reencode your videos, try overclocking. It should help out a lot.
DVD Encoder Settings?
I have recently been using DVD Catalyst to encode DVD's to watch on the Cingular 8125. Some of the movies play okay and some are really choppy.
The problem is there are a lot of options to set for the encoder and minimal recommendations in the directions. Does anybody have recommendations for the following?
I'm utilizing TCPMP to watch the videos.
Codec: XVID, DIVX, WMV, etc.
Frames Per Second: They have selections from 10 - 29.97.
Kbits for Video: 100 - ????
Kbits for Audio: 16 - 300+
Sampling Rate for Audio:44100 and down from there
Any recommendations would be appreciated.
Thanks....
Hi all.
Recently got the new Coreplayer (formerly TCPMP but now commercial version with built in codecs).
Please feel free to download the .zip file which contains 4 differently encoded 1 minute video files taken from a vob/DVD source file for benchmarking/comparison purposes.
I've had mixed results and would appreciate any feedback, especially with regards to the AVC test video, as I simply cannot get it to bench past 106% successfully on my Hermes. Considering the H264 codec is supposedly the way to go in terms of great balance between quality and file size, I'm really trying hard to achieve this. It has been achieved by many across many other platforms, but I've not heard from anyone with a Hermes having had good results as yet.
Sorry about the poor quality jpeg of Benchmark results, but the .zip file has a larger and better copy within it.
There's much discussion going on over at:
http://www.corecodec.com/forum/index.php?topic=3324.0
Please feel free to join in and contribute.
Downloads at the bottom of this post (hopefully). No, sorry Uploads failed! Will try again when I hear back from webmaster. Unless anyone knows where I can upload a 14mb zip file (4 small video files).
I havent used coreplayer yet but the version of tcpmp im running (and using the imate ROM) REALLY likes avi files encoded with xVid mpeg4(2 pass)....using auto gordian knott technique.
managed to get a decent few hours of synced playback no problem with that encoding method.

I found that if the video res is higher than the screen, it chugs like no other...haven't tested with regular res yet.
DivX 6.4.0 & DVDx....excellent on Hermes!!
I've had some pleasing results at last, but not through CoreAVC. Instead I'm having much better results using CoreASP. I'm now using Divx 6.4.0 with DVDx and am encoding using Divx's High Quality setting 4. This omits the need for choosing the appropriate bitrate and the resluting file still ends up smaller than MP4 H264 or x264 etc.
In the Divx codec settings I choose 'Auto detect' for 'Noise Reduction' and 'Bicubic Sharp' for 'Resize Filter' on the 'Video properties' page and 320x240 resolution. On the 'Main' page I choose 'HQ 4' setting....that's it. It takes a little longer to encode than I would like e.g. 55 minutes for a 80 minute movie, but it really does look like High Def on a small screen, Benchmarks comfortably in excess of 125% and more and additionally plays with the type of fluidity that leaves no room for complaint. 277mb for 80min of VERY HQ with no blocking/artifacts of any kind.
I've only tested an animated film at this stage but will encode an action movie to see if I get the same pleasing results. If I do, my quest ends here. I'll post my findings shortly, either way.

Thanks mike, but I've found a much better way of encoding IMHO, so I don't need to upload anymore.
Hi all.
After some more testing and lots of encodes, i thought I'd share my findings.
In short, I encoded to low and high bit rate vids:
1) AVC MP4s using Nero Recode and Super (.mp4)
2) Standard MP4s using ImToo DVD to Ipod Converter (.mp4)
3) PocketDivxEncoder (.avi)
4) 3GP Converter v031 & 034 (.mp4 AVC & .avi)
5) DVDx and DivX 6.4.0 (.avi)
Best results were still no.5 DVDx and DivX 6.4.0 nothing else even came close in terms of quality but AVC by far generated the smallest filesizes, as did PocketDivxEncoder.
I wonder how you guys managed to run a video on TyTN using the CorePlayer at all, as it does not support the ATI Graphics chip in the right way.
When I try to start a video playback, I get a real shaked display that is unreadable.

I'm having same problem. Any other alternative soft meanwhile?
That's a known bug. Picard & BetaBoy are aware of it and are waiting for information from ATI. ITMT use Raw Frame Buffer.

what is the difference in size between pocketdivxencoder and dvdx? (trying to determine if i should switch over now, or wait till i get a 2gb card.

Hi y2whisper. Sorry about the long delay, but been tied up. Not literally.lol.
Anyway....pocketdivxencoder is great and results in fairly small filesizes due to its 2 pass encoding process. You can achieve the same with DVDx & DivX 6.4.0 by specifying one of the multi-pass functions (haven't actually used though). From my experience (using other software), you'll get better quality vids with 1 pass encodes, but smaller files with 2 Pass. The choice is yours.
I chose a new 2GB card and the 1 Pass method outlined in my previous post. There's no looking back for me. Hope it works out for you.
Hey thanks for the response, i will try it and and see the actual size of files, haven't done movies in a while, normally just shows i taped and recap while on the treadmill

thx mackaby007, i'm going to try DVDx now.
tried with nero and avc, but it just doesn't play smoothly with LVSW 5-20-07
have you tried any more combinations?
Suggest you give AutoGK a go.
Ive already posted about my findings in this thread (see post 19 onwards) MUCH success with it.
AutoGK rocks, got some great results with it, thx mrvanx
compared the results with avc and avc is pretty good for filesize/quality but the hermes can't play it without jerkiness. autogk+xvid=awesome quality

No problem. I figured it would be widely known!?!
Im currently updating my hermes upgrade guide to have a tutorial on making decent looking vids.
The new CorePlayer is out... applies several little fisex for Polaris... speeds ut the camera!!!

I'm not going to bad mouth the new Coreplayer 1.2, but my friend purchased it over the weekend. I was not impressed with the video resolution quality, neither could he tap into mobile YouTube video via the 3gp rtsp:// url, now he wants his money back. If you want mobile YouTube videos in crystal clear picture pixel video resolution quality, then go to http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=365248 and get the Blue-ray Screen Video Player with the H264 Decoder on board auto wizard in stereo version IMax and CineMax..........!
Yes CorePlayer is very good I am glad I bought it. Much nicer forward/reverse slide of movies.
I don't know if they have built in youtube stuff yet for coreplayer.
Technology's app (above) is also very clever and good too.
Right guys...I don't know about you but I'm still having Video playback problems.
Frankly, Coreplayer is shocking. Yes it plays FLV which Album or WMP don't but the fact it has no h/ware acceleration on an HD player is a tad stupid.
This thread should be populated with people's own experiences as to what format, player, and encoding should be used to get the best results. I know there is already a thready about Super(c) converting, but again, this says to encode to FLV which you still have to risk in Coreplayer!
Anyone got any comments - I just want a decent player or a way of my HD vids playing half decent on the unit!
Cheers guys
in my humble opinion, this thread offers the best solution:

Use the encoder mentioned there, so you dont have to struggle around with eright super.
And then u can play the movie with HTCs built-in movie player. Ok, the player is everything but comfortable. But the TCPMP is pain-in-the-ass, too.

My Xperia x10 phone is stuck with Andriod 1.6 because of the weak / faulty usb port. But Im fine with It and use It for months.
But since this early last month (June 2012) until now, I cant watch good quality videos of Youtube anymore. Its not in mp4 format now. Im sure. Because when I use my firefox in my pc and go in the URL m.youtube.com, I see the stream link of any video been changed. The last URL or format of the link became .3GP
Sample..
rtsp://v8.cache1.c.youtube.com/CjYLENy73wIaLQl1N2y7clN6ThMYDSANFEIJbXYtZ29vZ2xlSARSBXdhdGNoYPCDwfejir7-Tww=/0/0/0/video.3gp
Im sure before Its not in 3GP format. I know Its in .MP4 before. But now, Its became 3GP?
Is there any other way I can watch again good quality videos of Youtube? Like before in MP4 format?
And for infos, I can watch good quality of videos in MP4 format I think. But only in other website/s like m.wimp.com
Only this Youtube now where I cant watch good quality of videos anymore. I can watch videos on Youtube but In a very low
quality. Because Its changed now to 3GP format.
And again..
Is there any other way I can watch again good quality videos of Youtube? Like before in MP4 format?
I can't help you, but man that's painful! Android 1.6!!
