Hi All
iwant 2 watch movies on hermes, i already hav tcpmp installed, but cannot transfer movie files to memory card, it only works when i convert files 2 3gp format with convertor, but i get totally crappy quality.
Any advice out there?

I've always had issues with TCPMP. I just convert movies to MP4 with my laptop, stick 'em on my memory card, and watch 'em with WMP.
Just buy a memory card reader to transfer files to your card. They are dirt cheap on eBay and about 15$ in stores. The transfer rate via activesync is horrible, so you are better with it for file transfers, may it be pictures, videos or music.
Tnx
tnx, i'll try the mp4 & card reader options ...
I have another question though, the library of WMP cannot read media on the card, is this normal on hermes?
i dont have a hermes but when i choose update lib in options
and choose sdcard un the playlist i get all my music from the sdcard
that the wmp can play that is it dont support many formats

Windows media has limited format support and sometimes videos are slow too. I sugger TCPMP when possible. Coreplayer, its shareware version, is an excellent player and features a library just like in windows media player, but even better!
N1c0_ds, reverse that, core player is commercial and tcpmp is shareware...
Really like core player though, has many format support...
If you don't mind paying for something, would recommend it.
Cheers.....
Cool!!! ... tnx all 4 ur advice, I cn't stop watchin movies now, i'm considering Core playr...
Vive la XDA!!!!

Dear All,
Is there a software that i need in order to convert Windows media Player 9 files, in .avi format before downloading to my Xda Exec? I tried a couple of times but it just says the format is not supported. Any help is greatly appreciated, thanks

Ravi
When you got WMV files your Universal's media player shouldn't have much problems with it. For larger files, say like ripped DVD's I use PocketDivxEncoder to shrink them & TCPMP to play them back on my Magician. Works like a dream & both programs are free .
Regards, M
I often use Windows Media Encoder to convert avi's and mpegs to wmv files.
The built in wizard includes options for Pocket PC sized files (320x240, low-ish quality sound) but you can totally vary the Bitrate (video & sound) to suit whatever quality/size balance you prefer.
You can download it from here:
http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/forpros/encoder/default.mspx
And it's totally free.
The only downside is that it doesn't seem to be able to rip a DVD directly and convert to wmv. I normally need to use a 3rd party ripper to convert the dvd to mpeg or avi.
Nowadays though with my new 4Gig SD Card - I just whap the full movie (700 odd meg) onto it and play it with the best PPC media player available: TCPMP (The Core Project Media Player)
(Oh - Windows Media Encoder is also useful if you have a TV card in your desktop - you can stream the TV out onto the net/intranet allowing you to watch your programmes on your XDA
Still unable to convert
Hi guys,
I downloaded the Windows media encoder but i am unable to convert the .avi file. Everytime i choose the input file and the output and click finish it says ''Input media format is invalid'' Why is that?????
I chose the Pocket PC option as i would like to view the file on my XDA but i keep getting this error msg.
Would it be helpful, if i downloaded another software for conversion???
regards,
Still unable!!!!!
Hi guys,
Downloaded the PocketDivxencoder and converted the file but when i tried playing it on my XDA it says file format not supported!!!!!
Is it a problem with the Windows Media player that i am using?????
Is Windows media player the default player for the XDA? Would it be helpful if i installed another Media Player?
Where can i get this TCPMP ?
Any suggestions would greatly appreciated,
thanks and best regards,
What kind of avi are you using, a divx maybe? Cause avi is just a container for many formats & wme doesn't support all of them.
Regards, M
Just google for tcpmp it's really easy to find.
M
OK DONE!!!
Hi guys,
Sorry for the multiple posts, but i finally managed to download TCPMP and converted the files via PocketDivxencoder and it now works...FINALLY!!!!!
Sorry to have bothered everyone,
regards,
I got it with the PocketDivxencoder too.
BUT: I got several avi-files, is it possible to get only one big file?

Okay, I'm not sure what the deal is. I just realized that the videos I record on my Hermes won't play on my PC. I've tried different codecs for it, as I have wmp11, and I have tried different media players, but the only thing that will play the videos I record on my phone is wmp10 on the phone itself!!! This is nuts! I don't want to just view them on my phone!! Does ANYBODY know a work around for this??? I don't want to have to move the videos I take onto my PC so I have space on my storage cards, and then have to move them all back to my phone when I want to watch them!! Please help!!!!
install KMPlayer on PC
Install KLM mega codec pack (free ). Should support most codecs and is better, & less painful to use than WMp ....
Cheers...
Awesome. I'm going to try it, but does either of you know if there is a codec that will allow me to watch the videos on wmp11 on my PC?? I'm assuming the klm codec will have it's own player to watch them. I want to be able to share the videos with friends. Should I get a decoder??

Okay, both of you are AWESOME!!!! I was completely wrong!! The videos play perfectly in wmp11!!! Not what I was expecting at all!!! Gracias BIG TIME!!!
No worries... KLM Codec packs just give the pc the codecs so ALL players can utilize them unlike standalone players that may have proprietry codecs...
Cheers...
I'm using joox to download movies and I would like to know how can I download or sync the videos to my phone? Any ideas? Thanks in advance.
Could anybody tell me please how to upload movies to my phone, if it's possible? I never did it with my so I just though I try it. Thanks in advance!
fastest way would put them on your storage card via a card reader and then put the card in the phone.... I have some on mine and they work fine but I do tend to stick with just .avi format
Where do you get your videos from and how do you do it? Thanks!
I've been playing movies on my Titan with TCPMP (the core pocket media player) and everything is playing fine, plays Divx and XVid and everything.
just take your movie file and reencode it in 320x240 with wathever software you want. Personnaly, I always use PocketDivXEncoder, set it to PDA, crank the audio to 6 and an episode of 22 minutes takes around 55Mb
Man...it's frustrating when you're a novice to some things. Could you explain a little further how to download the movies to my computer and then to my phone? Now, I download the movies to a my realplayer library and I'm stuck at that point.
well, I don't know how the Realplayer thingy works, I usualy just download TV Rips (in Divx or Xvid) then reencode them. I guess google is your friend for the rest!
Ok. Thanks for what you told me anyway.

When you install Realplayer, it gives you the option to record video and audio streams from flash players, though it saves them in real format. I personally prefer SUPER (thats the name of the program), which downloads and reencodes the videos on the fly. It even has presets for several screen formats. Also, it's freeware, which helps.
Cheers.
My knowledge of formats,computers and mobile devices are pretty crap IM learning so please 4give me......
I want watch a full length film on my handset n having few problems

Try TCPMP-0.72RC1 app...good luck!
You can find it here if you dont already have found it. Very good application, sad it isn't being developed any more.
http://picard.exceed.hu/tcpmp/test/tcpmp.smartphone.0.72RC1.cab
does anybody know if there is .flv plugin exist for TCPMP 0.72RC1 ? I couldn't get it work with flash video files, thanks in advance.
Find an software called "Touch HD Converter" and it may help you to convert videos that's fit to resolution and bitrate for Touch HD. And if you are trying to transfer huge file from PC to PPC, I sugget you swtiching the USB Mode from ActiveSync to 'Storage Card' for the best performace.
TCPMP or Coreplayer but better if you use HD Converter.
If Videos are big better solution is take off MicroSD and copy them with a CardReader.

Apart from this thread having 0 to do with ROM Development, how would using a card reader be any different from using the HD in USB mode? The mem card I use is class 4 and gives me a transfer rate of between 1-5Mbps the HD is a card reader, supports (SD 2.0 compatible) and USB 2.0 therefore it will pretty much use full transfer rates of any compatible SDHC cards.
mmm
Screw that stuff mate above, get yourself a copy of CorePlayer from somewhere. You don't have to convert anything, just copy the TV shows or movies you get off the internet to your memory card on your phone and it plays them straight off with no converting.
if you want maximum quality (ie dvd rips, blue ray rips, hd broadcasting rips, etc), go for this app: Mp4ForHD.
it converts almost any audio/video file to mp4, which is the best handled for touch hd. you want subtitles? it also hard code subtitle files perfectly.
this is my post describing my first experience with it.
for maximum performance in reproducing the video file, it may sound weird, but use the built in WMP or the 'album player'. by now, these are the media players that can use better the video capabilities (video acceleration is still not fully supported on touch hd by coreplayer or any other 3rd party app).
and you can also install neos2007 driverpack 3. its topic is posted in the touch hd rom section. they can take some extra juice when it comes to video performance.
simply the best video converter for the blackstone

any .flv file video (ie., youtube) you've downloaded convert them first to a .wmv file, then use this program! THANKS TO Projection
MOD EDIT
Move to General Discussion as not related to rom development
This is classed as warez, as you are not paying for the movies you watch and download its piracy, if the mods see this thread you'll get in trouble lol
