Hi i have a question. Is there a player or codec that makes the prophet to play divx movies avi files? I have downloaded an encoder that encodes an avi file that plays on pc to an avi file 320x240 that plays on a ppc. I tranfered the file to the prophet but the media player says that can't open file. Now what can i do?

Glad it works for you! For most movie files, TCPMP is great, and then there is CorePlayer (the comercial version of TCPMP).

can i not just convert a video file to mp4 or the correct file type and play it through windows media that cam on the device?
Depends on what you are using to encode the video. The WMP may not have the decoder. Although, AVI movies all have the same *.avi, all AVI movies can be different, depending on what encoder you used to encode the video and the audio. Hence, not all player is able to play all AVI movies. I think it goes relatively the same to MP4 also.
Anyway, what format are you trying to convert. You can go Microsoft homepage and download their Windows Media encoder to encode your stuff into WMV format which should play nicely on your phone.
I have been using Xilisoft MP4 convertor, converting from .avi to .mp4
I will try out the Windows Media encoder and encode into WMV format.
Thanks for the info
converted ok but its not full screen when selected..! any ideas?
its ok sorted it out...!!!!!!!!!
Hi
Are there someone recommend softwares for converting MPEG video file into MP4 that can play in Athena WMP 10?
I tried ImTOO converter but my Athena says it doesn't support that file. I have old MP4 files that are able to play in WMP 10.
Thanks
Felcus
install TCPMP and the codec pack then you will be able to play any MP4's !
where to download?
google is your friend ! start with just TCPMP and if that does not work add the codec pack, the codec pack can be a little harder to find so I will up it for you.
Video recorded on HTC touch cannot view on Windows Media PLayer
HI,
can anyone help? I recorded some movie on HTC Touch and when i copied the file to my PC, I can view it on Windows Media Player 11. How can i solve this?
Do you mean you can't view it?
What type of file is it? MP4, 3gp, avi?
Id recommend VLC http://www.videolan.org/vlc/ on the PC for viewing most video files. Its free, lightweight and just works.

I dont know why you did not start your own thread on this but try installing something that can play 3gp files like quicktime
Windows Media Player supports only certain type of Codec. To make WMP support MP4 format, you should install filters for MP4 format and its associated codecs. After you installing these filters, all players that use DirectShow technology, include WMP, will support MP4 format.
Install the following codecs to have a try.
Elecard MPEG-4 Codec Pack
If you can't install or still can't play MP4 in WMP, converting your MP4 to WMP natively supported WMV or AVI format with Faasoft Video Converter is the best choise.
Hi All,
I have tried searching for MP4 and AVI in the forums, but search results came up with nada.
Can someone please assist me with the BEST movie player for the Touch HD and how to encode the files?
I am currently using Slysoft CloneDVD Mobile. I selected Windows Smartphone as my encoding template, loaded the DVD, and built the AVI file. All went good.
I then copied it across to my Touch HD and tried to play it in WMP but get an error "Cannot play file" without any further details.
Any ideas people?
TIA
Sounds like a missing codec problem to me. i had the same with playing xvid movies. i use tcpmp player now instead of wmp, but am looking for a nicer prog.
I find Coreplayer to be the best using the DivX converter set to Mobile for compressing. It will compress most files and even convert AC3 files for use.
The playback is smooth whereas the actual DivX mobile and old TCPMP players seem to have a 1 second slight glich in playback (shown when a video is panning across a scene).
I have also found that if you use a File Explorer with Network access such as Resco Explorer, you can set the default player to be Coreplayer and play these files from any Network drive. I use an ASUS WLHDD2.5 small wireless hard drive with 100Gb capacity and can store loads of Music, movies and photos on it.
Ensure that Coreplayer can actually play the file type first or an error will occur.
Map your Network drive in Resco Explorer (follow the distructions..)
Select and hold the file to play in Resco, select open, Open with and then select Coreplayer.
Viola.
you might want to try the blackstone video encoding gui (search on this forum) to convert movies to mp4 and then play them via windows media player or tf3d video player. To date, those two players are the only ones capable of playing video using hardware acceleration
I use MP4forHD encoder software. Very good and clip quality very good. Playback using default Album player that comes with THD.

Try the attached CorePlayer 1.3.0. No need to encode files, it reads them all, works perfectly. Enjoy.

No acceleration though, so you have to encode to much lower quality.

Sorry, but main problem is that CorePlayer will not play movies with AC3 sound (5.1). A lot of new movies have 5.1 sound.
blabla
i love and hate AC3 at the same time

And do you have 5 ears with 5 headphones?
What is the point for having 5.1 on a mobile device, it's not like you can output to TV anyways.
The point is to watch existing movies with AC3 soundtracks without spending hours to reconvert them first.

you may try Core player, its really great player which plays almost every format
where can i find it and is it for free?
I use youTubePlay, it's free and found on xda-developers. You can also save youtube clips into FLV format as well as MP3.
you-tube play is really awesome but why it doesn't play the flv files i got from my computer? it plays the flv files that it download it only
Look for TCPMP it's similiar media player to CorePlayer, its free, and with a .flv video codec you can play flv video files.
TCPMP could be found here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=380387
and for the plugin go here:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/tcpmpflvplugin/
Download the plugin and put .plg files to /(or Storage Card)/Program Files/TCPMP/ folder.
