Full screen in WMP

I have several video clips on my SD card that play in full screen on my xda2i but wont fill the screen in WMPlayer on my exec, is there a solution for this or is it a problem with the Media player that comes as standard in the exec? also if i shoot a video clip on my exec that wont fill the screen either, ive messed around with all the different settings but cannot find a solution Please help.

I too find this very annoying.
Please let me know if you figure it out..

It is a known issue with universal and there is no fix yet, hopeing to get it in next ROM Update.... everyone is using TMPEG Player to play those videos which works much better on videos than WM.

Videos.. They just won't work!!

Hi all, firstly I've used the search function and failed to find anything on the subject.. I'm blaming vb's generally bad search engine!
Anyway, I'm having a problem running videos I've encoded on my Vario II. I've encoded them using Pocket DivX Encoder and they still don't work. On my phone I have installed Divx, PCPMP, Pocket MVP, and WMP obviously. So far, all I've managed to get to kind of work is one video which doesn't play in WMP, but plays in all the others.. well, when I mean play, has sound which is ok, skips now and then and the video is either all black or just shows the very first frame and goes weird.
Where am I going wrong? Are there specific settings I should use with PocketDivXencoder? Should I use a different program?
I used to use Virtual Dub a while ago when encoding videos for my Iriver h300, but wouldn't know what settings to use to get vids to play on my vario II..
Also, with the syncing, I can get it to sync, but WMP10 just doesn't want to sync.. so I can't do the videos that way. And I'm not installing WMP11!
Thanks! This is driving me mad.

Don't know what you looked up but it wasn't for example TCPMP or Core Player or Raw Frame Buffer etc etc etc using the advanced search options to select Hermes forum (important with this issue to specify Hermes). I think you'll find there's oodles of info - not all good but oodles all the same

Very poor playback of video on p3600 (trinity)

Hi all.
I have a Trinity since just a couple of days and I´m very happy with everything about it, except for one huge thing that will make me get rid of it if it´s not solved shortly.
The problem is that for some reason I can´t watch divx movies or listen to mp3 files thru the standard player I´ve always used in windows mobile phones all the way back to the qtek s100. I use TCPMP (former Betaplayer) and I encode with PocketDivXEncover as usual. When I try to watch the movie I only get a very distortet image with a lot of pixels and strange colors, and very distorted and wierd sound for a couple of seconds, and then the screen goes black?! I still have my Qtek 9100 with the exact same program in it so I transferred the same exact video files to that phone and tried them, and they work and play perfectly and smoothly as they should. So obviously there is nothing wrong with the program or the video files, so what could be wrong?! I thought it might be something with the program then so I tried installing DivXPlayer and CorePlayer, but the same issues are there as well. Doesn´t work.
It´s totally fine to play mp3 files thru the built in windows media player, then they play just fine, and it´s also fine to play wmv video files thru media player.. But the wmv format is simply way too bad to watch movies on such a good screen. Divx is way better and I just can´t understand why this new and expensive product can´t play back divx files when all my old pocket pc and windows mobile phone of several years back can handle it with no problems at all.
I´ve tried searching around but havn´t found any sollution to the problem or what is causing it, just others with the same problems. Please help, I really don´t want to get rid of this phone as I think it has everything I could possibly want except for this major problem!!
Thanks!

same here i have the same problem, apparently if you select RAW buffer or something like that it sorts it, not got round to it yet, too much else to experiment on!
for video though i use "total video converter" & select "mobile mpg4" 320x240 500kbits/s and they play perfectly in media player

Ok, I´ve tried all the settings in TCPMP, putting it in directraw and everything, I can quite ok picture if I do that, but the sound still doesn´t work properly. It plays for a couple of seconds, then distorts in a wierd way and then stops playing even thou the video is still playing..
I´ll try the program and settings you stated and see if the result is satisfactry. I´ve never been able to get the same quality with wmv as with divx, so that´s why I don´t like wmv as a video format, escpecially on such a large and good screen and the trinity has.

there is a atifix.cab file around here which may solve your problem. Please use the search function...

Ok, just tried Total Video Converter with the settings you described, and it´s actually quite ok with the mp4 format. But still not as good as divx, can still see some pixel artefacts, but a lot better than the wmv format. So I guess until someone comes up with an explanation and sollution to the divx problem I´ll have to stick with mp4..
Thanks for your tip!

I am using PV Player that came with Orange, no problems here.

Video player for X1

Ok ive installed Coreplayer and every time i change to a new video like after changing 4-5 times it ALWAYS freezes... and i have to restart the phone by taking out the battery...
does anyone know of a better video player than coreplayer?

What the?
To be honest coreplayer works like a dream for me. Watching videos on it daily without any problems, fluent and all. Have you set output mode to Qtv?
Cheers

(Now) no sound in video playback on Touch HD

Hi XDA people,
This is my first post here, I have a HTC Touch HD standard rom and I love it! Has a bit of customising (thank you to the creative people here!).
My problem is the movies I have on my HD as of yesterday have lost their sound. I use the standard player through albums/video folder and it has always been fine. DIVX player has sound, system sounds and MP3's are fine. Volume controls work ok. All the video were converted using Video Converter v1.20 and has done a good job.
I have soft reset, taken out the mini SD card and replaced it, been through win 6.1 settings/systems and personal looking for anomaly's but cant see anything out of order.
Anyone with any advice as to what could be the problem would be greatly appreciated.. Thanking you in advance..
Ajarn John

Any update on this? My HD just started having this problem. Its weird.
Core Player and WMP play the audio, but not the default "Album" player.
