I'm sure this can't be too hard...
I'm playing around with converting YouTube videos so they can play back on my Dopod. Currently I am using Free FLV Converter v3.5.0, but I always get video that play back jerky in Windows Media Player Mobile 9 (off my 8GB MicroSD card).
Can anyone recommend the best settings for video on a Hermes? Currently using:
Codec: WMV2
Size: 320x240
Video Bitrate: 750Kbps
Frame Rate: 25
Aspect: Auto
Audio Codec: WMA
Frequency: 22050
Channel Mode: Mono
Audio Bitrate: 96Kbps
Google a copy of Any Video Converter. I use it to convert WMA, FLV, anything really into MP4 format (Which our phones record in natively, so playback is smooth and clear). I use the follow video setting in Any Video Converter after choosing the mobile/pocket pc option:
Video Codec: MP4
Video Size: 320x240 (This fills the whole screen in landscape)
Video Bitrate: 512
Video Framerate: 30fps
Audio Codec: aac
Audio Bitrate: 64
Sample Rate: 11025
Audio Channel: 2
Disable Audio: 2
A/V Sync: Basic
With these settings, the video's I convert look nice.
Thanks, but do those play back in Windows Media Player Mobile 9, or do you use different software to play them back?
Using those settings in Free FLV Converter v3.5.0 results in an AVI file that gives "Cannot Play File" when trying it on my Dopod
Woohoo! The exact same settings with the free version of Any Video Converter works perfectly! Thanks!
Maybe this area has been covered before by using Handbrake, but I've found another useful utility XMedia Recode (google it, I am a n00b here so I can't post external link).
This tools already has a build-in A500 profile! But what I really want is to make sure the video stream intact and just convert the audio to AAC, since many of my mkv files are already in h264 format and there is no reason to waste time on re-encoding the video part and degrade the video quality. A500 plays those mkv videos fine but only without sound. This tool has a "video copy" option, this will bypass the video re-encoding part and just convert the audio channels. Converting a 1GB 720p MKV AC3 to AAC only takes less than a minute (limited by harddisk speed I think). A500 now can play the mkv smoothly.... and also with sound!!!!
I second this app. I have been using it for a while for Xbox playback and it works flawlessly.
So I says to Mable I says ...
I used this quickly the other day before flying, and it seemed to work really well. I used the method described above, using "copy video" and all. It seemed to work really well...at first. The video is fine and the audio plays, until it doesn't. What I mean is, the audio plays but then stops for no reason while the video continues. If I rewind and play the same part again the audio is fine this time, again until it stops.
This is the case for the like 4 different video players I've used. Do you think it's the file, or should I try even more video players? Thanks.
One easy to use solution is here

heheļ¼this is good.
i tried this app a few mins ago.audio is perfect,but the video which converted by"video copy" is still slowly or stoped sometimes .but this app is still worthy to try!
i recommend iDealshare VideoGo which can work as either a AC3 encoder or AC3 decoder.
Acting as an AC3 Decoder, it easily helps:
Convert AC3 audio to other audio formats like convert AC3 to WAV, convert AC3 to AAC, convert AC3 to AIFF, convert AC3 to FLAC, convert AC3 to M4A, MP3, WMA, OGG, AU, RA, MP2, DTS and etc.
Convert video with AC3 audio codec to video with other audio codec like AAC, MP3, MP2, DCA, PCM, WMA etc. You may choose to keep or change the output video format like convert MKV with AC3 to MP4 with AAC.
Convert video with AC3 audio to audio format like convert MKV with AC3 to MP3 audio.
Acting as an AC3 encoder, it easily helps:
Convert almost all popular audio formats to AC3 like convert DTS to AC3, convert FLAC to AC3, convert APE to AC3, convert to AC3 from Apple Lossless ALAC, AMR, QCP, CAF, VOC, VQF and etc.
Convert video with various audio codec to video with AC3 codec as well as keep or change the video format like convert MKV with FLAC codec to MKV with AC3 codec.
Change AC3 audio channel like from AC3 stereo to AC3 5.1/6 channel, from Dolby Digital 5.1 AC3 to Mono or Stereo AC3
I found Bigasoft Audio Converter on Google and gave it a try. It works well to convert ac3 to aac on my side. Try it!
I use Dice player on my A500 to play MKV files with AC3
play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.inisoft.mediaplayer.a
in my opinion, mkv in ac3 is better then aac, so why change it?

Same question
Faasoft's great "Audio Converter" is the best choice to convert ac3 to aac.
You may prefer to a step by step guide named "Faa AC3 Converter - How to Convert AC3 to AAC, MP3, WAV, FLAC, WMA, M4A, AIFF, ALAC, etc on Mac and Windows?" which inform us how to convert AC3 files to MP3, AAC, M4A, WMA, FLAC, etc.
Hope it will help you more or less.
I found Dice player was able to playback AC3 encoded videos more recently you needed to install an open source codec as they were no allowed to bundle it.
install this http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=719362 codec pack for defy, after i can play divx videos for general player, just nos sound when audio in ac3 format.
The default video player cannot play DTS or AC3 audio which is annoying... Only video HD player on playstore seems to work... is it possible to install the ac3 and DTS codec so that all players can play them? The problem is I want to play some 3d movies with google cardboard and these players do not play the audio
