Alright, so I have TCPMP on my phone and it works great and all, except for the fact that i don't have videos for it to play on my phone and don't have the software necesary to get those videos onto my phone. I have some .avi divx files that i would like to convert and watch on my phone because they are currently way to big to watch on my little screen (resolution and size) so I just wanted to know which program would be good for me to use on my computer in order to convert the videos for watching on my phone using TCPMP, I have tried a couple in the past (mainly Ashampoo Movie Shrink and Burn 3) and the video quality is fine, but the audio and video are never synched in TCPMP, and even though I have tried using the manual audio/video sync option, I really don't know exactly what I am doing, and would just prefer a video that has it automatically synched well. So what is the best program to use to convert the videos on my computer, for viewing on my Sprint Mogul?
I use SPB mobile dvd. Small and Simple
TCPMP can easily handle full-res divx files.
For example, a friend of mine is about to copy The Daily Show and Colbert Report that he downloaded on bit torrent right onto his phone.
No transcoding necessary.
Yea but the problem is, wouldn't the file be much smaller if I shrink the resolution down to the exact size of the mogul's screen, as I like to save as much space as possible, (I have 1GB free on my 4GB card). But thanks for the info, ill try it out.
If u convert it to 320x240 4:3 with 50% quality u looking at ~ 200mb
I dunno if this exactly what you are looking for, but for converting video files into whatever resolution and format, I use AnyVideoConverter. Freeware version available as well as a "professional" version for a nominal amount.
sompy is one of many software u can use
Have you tried Orb.com yet?
If you have an unlim data plan you could always use www.orb.com to stream the videos to your Mogul. Then you wouldn't have to worry about the format or using space on the phone or the storage card to keep the videos. If you go into the options on TCPMP and check all formats then it will play the streams pretty seamlessly.

Hi
I would like to down load films and them play them on my Wizard/Qtek 9100 if any of you have and know how this can be done please tell me how.
just use microsoft movie maker and encode the file for pocket pc.
for the movies you must rip them from dvd or download them.
Download TCPMP. Its a free media player that plays all sorts of video files including DivX ones. If you want to shrink full movies so you can fit them on your SD card, I use Ashampoo Shrink and Burn. It lets you specify a media type and a size (the lower the size the lower the quality), and then produces a file. I have watched Full DivX Movies without any alteration and it shows up quite nicely on my Wizard. When I use the program, the quality does get lacking, but then you can fit 4-5 movies on a 2GB SD Card. I am pretty sure there is other software that also reduces the size of movie files, perhaps someone else can provide insight.
yes, yes, yes, i know every newbie gets told to search. i tried but this seems like a heck of a site with tonnes of posts.
In short could anyone kindly point me to a post or answer the que:
How do i get my videos to play on actual FULLSCREEN and not postage stamp fullscreen.
is there an option or is it small because of the limited processing power?
Cheers

If u wanna play them with the default WM player then upgrade to the AKU 3.2 version ROM or else try TCPMP player it's free and good enough for all ur multimedia player needs.
Thanks bud. i tried a few vids on the wmp player first and luckily one of them actually played on the FULLSCREEN. the vid had a much larger data transfer rate.
So is there any way to modify the files i have so that they have the same arrangement as this particular file.
Anyone had the same problem
Cheers

I'd really recommend installing TCPMP. The standard media player is pretty crappy (just like Windows Media Player, I guess). TCPMP is free and plays all videos in Fullscreen if you want. If also supports a lot more codecs than the standard player.
WMP that comes with the phone will not show a video to be any larger than it actually is. If a video is 64x64 pixels then it will occupy that much on the screen. It will however crush a 640x480 video to fit your 320x240 screen.
TCPMP WILL stretch videos to fill your screen. Get that!!
There is no way to edit the file like you suggested without making the file size much greater needlessly.
If I use the camera video capture function, it always plays in reduced size, even using the new ubeaut 3.2 ROMs. These ROMs have not fixed the full size video issue for videos captured in 320x240 using mp4 format.
Unless, of course, somebody can tell me where to look and the settings. I have been using AKU3.2 for a while both versions, and they do not play the video capture in full screen mode at all.
Maybe if I use AVI formats rather than MP4 might be an idea I havent tried. MP4 is a much more compressed format.
hey thanks for the help - cheers
guys, i just needed the reassurance that it was ok. i just downloaded it and as u say its a great full screen player - thanks again.

U r right as avi will take much of ur memory so thats not practical to use.
I have recently got an HTC TyTN II and i have been wanting to watch movies with it. Is there a way to convert movies into a format so the WMP on it will play them or the Video Player because the .avi files wont play on either. If there is a special format to use are there any programs to convert them to that format?
Thanks in advance
James
First off, the HTC Tytn II is the Kaiser, not the Titan
You should use TCPMP to play all your videos because it plays a wide variety of formats. I personally have a few preconverted stuff that play excellently on my phone (in mp4 format).
Honestly, I tried to do what you wanted, and gave up with trying to watch movies via WMP.
Instead, I use the free DIVX player whcih playes .avi.
I then, after trying almost every ripping software out there, ended up with SPB DVD Magic which admittedly is something you have to pay $24.95 for, but it works better than any other program free or share that I tried. It rips copy-protected DVDs (only those I personally own!) at a 25 fps rate with a variety of settings for aspect ratio, etc. and does it in the shortest amount of time and with the best quality to file size ratio I have seen.
The playback on my DIVX player is very nice, even with the Mogul's substandard video playback and internal memory.
With my 16GB memory card I have over 8 full length movies on my ppc (along with every CD Rom I own) and have room for about 5-6 more movies.
I highly recommend the SPB DVD Magic and DIVX player route.

I use Windows Movie maker or one of the other such things to convert the AVI to a WMP. I also resize it to the PDA screen, 320 X 240. Then I can get a lot of movies on my card and they play well.
I'm planning to transcode some video to watch on my universal via SD card, the presets on WinFF (Win32 wrapper to FFMpeg) are numerous but going to try 3GP @ 320x240x15fps, anyone else achieved this and if so what rates/sizes/formats did you use?
?
Transcoding ?? Why would you need it ? Unless the videos are HD, the Universal has the power to play them fine (most of them very fine ). If the space is your problem, I suggest a bigger SD-card.
I think it's a waste of time those ~30 minutes needed for conversion of a movie that lasts @ 90 min; and I'm pretty sure that you'll delete the movie after you'll watch it.
PS: for best results use TCPMP (freeware) or Core Player (not freeware). The Media Player is much slower and it supports few codecs.
Transcoding
I agree
There is no need for this as the UNI has all the power needed to play films with ease. If space is an issue google for DVD Catalyst. It's freeware and can reduce the size of DVD's down to about 275Mb.
Then just play them through the TCPMP as suggested by GNotten as this is far superior
I USE MKV videos with coreplayers .... they save so much space compared to other video formats and the video quality is far better than other format... one movie is around 250~300 mb...
Size and wether or not it could handle it were my main issues. Dont have a problem kicking off a transcode ffmpeg job and wandering off elsewhere while it's busy but i'll give a raw video a go and see how i get on

ive found threads talking about HandBrake and SUPER... but after a few days of reading and trying, the best i can get is an audo track of the movie to play, but no video with handbrake... and super plays both but the audio lags behind a few seconds???
i use DVDFab to get the raw data files saved to my computer, now im trying to shrink those files down so i can run them on my TP2...
forgive me for being 'slow' lol, but im at a loss...
maybe im using the wrong programs and theres something better? something a little more clean cut and to the point?
I haven't done it in a few years, but I used to use the program DVD2PPC to convert DVD movies into a smaller (200-300MB) file for viewing on my Ipaq. Google it to find the website.
Costs $19.95 though, but I remember that it worked quite well. And there is a free trial.

i use DVD shrink ( freeware ) and DivX convert for any movies i want to put on TP2. You can download these all for free from their websites.
i use an old program called FlasKMPEG
able to crop and resize etc and it always maintains a high quality movie with a DivX codec
Baddaboom works but it cost. You can find it for free if you look hard. it will convert a movie in less than 30 minutes. thats dvd to 720x480 mp4 so smaller sizes should be faster. but it depends on your video card as well. 100% gpu proccessing to convert so it won't lag your pc while converting it.
