I installed this neat little media player and it seemed like it would work fine. So i took one of my dvds and ripped and reencoded into a divx movie. It plays nice and the audio sounds awesome the only thing is the audio is not synced. Its perfectly synced when i play the video on my computer but when i put it on the mogul and play with TCPMP its about 1/2 a second out of sync. Is there a special way to encode it or a buffer tweak i can do i nthe options to make it sync?
Just change the AV sync in TCPMP
Go to
Menu > Tools > Preferences
Select Page > Advanced
Scroll down and for "Manual A/V offset +/-", enter -0.400 to -0.450, whichever suits you best. I have -0.400, but it seems very very slightly off still, so I might change it to -0.450 eventually.
Hope this helps.
HELL YA! i looked at every option but that one. THANKS!
Thanks, helped me a lot to.
Does anyone know the optimum fps/bitrate I can encode an originally 700mb divx file without the titan slowing down?
my tcpmp is having problems playing video. I downloaded it from the 'pocket youtube' site, and whenever I play a video, for instance one I have recorded via the mogul's camera, tcpmp plays about 1 fps.. the same file plays fine in WMP. any ideas? i've played around with the buffering and advanced settings but have not seen any improvement.

So I converted some movies I own to wmv to play on my verizon xv6800 using a program I purchased called AoA DVD Ripper. They play Fine on my computer but when I play them on my phone they lag like crazy and only play every few frames or so. Basically they look like garbage. I Set the resolution to 320x240 and stop all other running programs.
Is this just because windows media player mobile is crap or what's going on and what can I do to fix it.
Thanks a lot for the help
Find the latest Tcmp and flash bundle for download. Its a great player. Be sure to enable all file types in the tcmp options. Be sure to go into options, video and turn on raw frame buffer. Enjoy!
I have an issue with videos on my Touch. Just recently I tried creating and watching a video for the first time. My photos and video folder is stored on my SD card.
I can record the video and it is in the right folder (the Touch can easily find it under videos), but whenever I try to play the video, Windows Media Player says "The source filter for this file could not be loaded".
Anyone know how to fix this problem?
Nobody?
screw windows media, just install TCPMP

I second that and if you can, get the latest Core.

Yeah, I've got it installed and it does work for these files.
Any way to easily make TCPMP the default app instead of WMP?
I would like to know why WMP won't work though. It bugs me when something doesn't do as it should.
in TCPMP, go into settings > file assoc. and select the ones you want. as far as WMP, i'm sure there is a relatively simple fix, but at the end of the day, WMP is still a completely useless player.
Thanks! I'll go and check that out.
Edit: One more quick question for anyone that knows. Even though I associate TCPMP with .MP4 video files, when I use the cube and select videos and choose a video that I've recorded and hit play, the cube by default brings up WMP to play the video. There must be somewhere in the registry where I can change this to default to TCPMP for playback right?
Hello,
I'm trying to get some xvid movie RIPs that I have on my computer to play on my laptop but so far I'm having no joy. I downloaded and installed CorePlayer 1.36 but the movies aren't playing right, they go green and it doesn't go full screen.
Do I need to change any settings to make it work properly?
The movies are generally 720x452(ish) and video is xvid 1600kbps with audio mp3 128kpbs.
Any help would be appreciated.
David
I hear they should play in HTC media player (not WMP).
HTC Player won't play xvid, unfortunately.
Re CorePlayer, go to Menu - Tools - Preferences - Select Page - Video and try to play with the Video output setting.
right now core player has problems of playing movies on HD2. also green here .
use WMP/HTC ALBUM is ok.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=582122
I've done a search and read many posts about coreplayer performance on the HD2. Most have no problems but some do and i'm one of them.
I have no problem playing the files using these settings from member Shasarak (thanks mate):
Options/Video and activate Dither, then "smooth zoom always" rather than "smooth zoom 50%". You will get substantially better performance if you then go into the DirectDraw settings page, choose "YUY2" as your overlay format, leave "use device stretching" checked, and uncheck the other two boxes.
I have tried all other settings and combinations but i agree the above gives the best performance.
However, i am still experiencing occassional judder and it's annoying me.
1). would upgrading to stock ROM 1.66 make a difference?
2). is there ANYTHING else i can do to stop the judder? i've already tried disabling background tasks, wifi etc
3). The audio is also very slightly out of sync, it's delayed, it's minor but i notice it. It happens on all videos, they are all .avi I've not seen anyone complain of this before.
Thanks
With regards to uadio sync:
Menu --> Tools --> Settings
Select the 'Advanced' page
Manual A/V offset let's you adjust the audio sync
The judder is most likely due to the format the videos are encoded in just eating too much CPU. How do you encode them?

I don't encode them, just downloaded movies in the common divx/xvid format. I played movies on my old N96but re-encoded them to mp4 as it didn't play avi and i never tried coreplayer on it.
Perhaps i should try re-encoding, but don't see why this phone couldn't handle a standard 700mb divx avi.

cheers mate, you are the man! putting a -0.300 has made it much better, not sure why it would be out like that on all movies? I'm very happy with that What do the other 2 settings do - soft drop tolerance & hard drop tolerance?
now just to fix the juddering.
I've found, and i think someone else suggested this in another thread, that if you pause it for a moment it sorts itself out. Would rather not have to do that but i don't see a way around it

The standard ~1h30 700MB divx movies I've tried to play all worked nicely. But sorter ones of the same size (meaning more bitrate) could start being too much load. Just try and do a benchmark in coreplayer with a video that causes problems, if you have less than about 150% average playing speed you might start getting drops.
It may help to put the phone in "Airplane Mode"; if it's checking for email messages in the background while playing it will judder like crazy. Use the task manager to kill off any other running applications as well....
I come to the conclusion that this phone just can not handle playing divx/xvid in avi very well, and i'm not sure why it can't.
I have gone back to my old ways of converting the video to mp4 using winavi mp4 converter, this also cures the problem of any files that have ac3 audio as it converts that as well.
On my 8 year old computer it would take 30 mins to convert a 700mb film, i have since bought a quad core Dell running 64 bit windows 7 and it converts in less than 10 mins!!
Smooth as butter now but a shame i have to go back to doing this. But at least the files will play in coreplayer, windows media and htc's player so plenty of choice
If anyone wants the settings i use for winavi mp4 converter then just ask away. It's not free but mine was if you get what i mean
EDIT:
I HAVE FOUND THE REAL PROBLEM, IT'S MY COREPLAYER! IT STARTED STUTTERING THE MP4 FILE THIS MORNING, WHEN I SWITCHED TO WINDOWS MEDIA OR HTC PLAYER IT WAS FINE 9OBVIOUSLY COULDN'T DO THIS BEFORE AS NEITHER OF THOSE PLAYERS SUPPORT AVI)
I JUST TRIED COREPLAYER AGAIN AND IT'S PLAYINNG THE SAME MP4 FILE FINE NOW, MUST BE SOMETHING WRONG WITH MY COREPLAYER, WILL GET ANOTHER VERSION.
WHAT A DRAMA AND SORRY FOR BORING YOU ALL WITH IT LOL
Has anyone noticed that the audio is out of sync with the video on their X10? It seems no matter how I encode my video, the audio is always a little out of sync with the video. I've tried multiple players besides Mediascape and they all give the same problem. An encoded file will play fine with no audio issues on my PC and iPod Touch, but will play a little bit out of sync on my X10. Any ideas? Does anybody else have this issue?
Haven't noticed this on mine. What program/apps are you using to play the file?
I've tried Act 1 and Mediascape, both of which are giving out of sync issues. I've tried lots of encoding software (Handbrake, Videora, Any Video Converter, etc.) and they all give the same out of sync results. What settings/programs are you using?
I've tried both Handbrake and SUPER, but honestly the stock Sony Ericsson’s Media Go has worked perfectly for me, encoding time hasn’t been too long, but more importantly the video quality has been hands down far and away the best with Media Go. Surprisingly though the file size of the MP4’s has not been the biggest either. The only downside is very minimal (if any) user customizable settings, but seriously give it a try, I’d be curious if your results improve. Also note, in Media Go if you Right-Click and drag the video file you want to transfer from your library to your phone a pop-up menu will appear and you can fiddle with some minor “advanced transfer” settings. Hope that helps.
*EDIT Also check out this thread, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=467112 I haven't tried it yet, but I'd be curious if it works well for the X10
Thanks for the suggestions, I'll try them when I get home tonight. For some reason, any of the 720p and up videos that I encode with Handbrake seem to work fine, but any SD videos I encode with Handbrake have major audio/video sync issues. Sometimes the video even stutters. I'm thinking it might be because I have the bitrate set too high (around 1,000kbs), so I'm going to lower it and see what happens. I'll also try Media Go and the software on the thread you linked to and report back here with results.
This could be a wide spread issue with the Snapdragon chipset.
HTC Desire/HD2/Incredible are all having the same video/audio out of sync issues.
Check it out.
