Video Codec used on XDA II (.mp4)

Hello
When trying to watch captured videos from my MDA II / XDA II (.mp4) I don't get an image and no sound. So which codec I must install to watch these videos?

this is what google had to say about that

On the PC, Microsoft Media player doesn't suport MP4. You need to download a MP4 compatable player, such as quicktime.
I've tried various MP4 codec plugins for Media Player, but haven't managed to get any to work with native MP4 files yet.

re
I have not managed to get anything to play the vid files produced by xda 2 with anything but the latest version of Quicktime.
There must be some other vid players out there ?
Cheers, shire

I did try it is success but still I cannot view the Video in a full size screen.
I am looking for a better one.
I found some other application calling "am player" and "explainer" by searching through inter net but as per described it is not supporting the MP4 or it need some updating .If any body found a better way pls inform me

MP4 Coded
I use a product called EnvivioTV. It is a standalone app as well as plugin for WMP. So Mp4 video can be viewed in EnvivioTV app as well as in Windows Media. I downloaded version 1.5 from download.com. The file is EnvivioTV.exe

Thanx for your replies, but I did not manage to get Sound with Quicktime Player - Video works, but no sound! This other Plugin EnvivioTV even doesn't work - Media Player rejects to play the files although it defenitely accepts the files...
Any solution?

Thanks for the tip chioque, EnvivioTV works well.

MP4 conversion

good day.
i've noticed that when we take videos using XDA 2, it records the files as MP4. It isn't good but its not bad quality, HOWEVER, I cannot seem to play it when I transfer it to my PC.
Can anyone please suggest an MP4 to any recognizable PC format converter?
Thanks.

quicktime play them

quictime can play MP4 i think.
You can also chance the capture format to AVI
in Camera settings/Tools menu at bottom/Options

im hitting myself in the head, BOING!
thanks, im weird, hehehe.

there is also a codex u can install which will allow you to play MP4 in windows media player on your PC... i will upload it when i get home ... i use it without any problems

thanks, ill be waiting for the upload.

I've made a little research....
the videos are not recorded in mp4! They are recorded in "3GP" http://www.3gp.com
but you are right, Quicktime Player is the recommended player for 3gp files (regarding the above website).
Even the "QuickTimeAlternative" did not play the files

quicktimes does at least i've never had any issues
and it's the normal version not the pro one i use

as promised pls find the codex for windows media player, which will enable you to play MPEG4 on you PC.....like i said before its worked fine with me, i have been using it for the past 8months without any problems.
Regards.

oh just in case if you want to do you research this is where i got the codex from
http://www.mpegable.com/show/mpegableds.html

i'm not trying to be anel or anything but it's codec not codex
it's a merge of Compressor / Decompressor
where codex is a manuscript volume

shouldn't it be anAl ?

[double submit]
Can't find the delete checkbox

heh yeah well i do suppose i could blame it on that maybe the forum had a curse filter ..... but i'm not going to ...

There's also 3gp2rawavi command line utility that seems to work for the 3gp files produced by the XDAII.

well...this morning, i realized that i can't also use my WMP anymore.
Coreplayer and Manilla HTC album work well, but it's pretty cool to make coreplayer as default video player

wmp only support avi, mpeg4.......
you should download the other player.

anybody know if there`s a program to convert avi video file to a file that plays on topaz? i want to watch movies on my phone tried videora but cant seem to get it to work. a nice easy one would be great, a beginners one maybe?.... if there is such a thing!!!

Download Handbrake
http://handbrake.fr/

if you use the core player on your phone then you dont need to convert the files it will play them fine

thanks for that but same thing happened as with videora, it says "the file may be copied for storage or transport use only. it is not supported for use on the device". i converted it to mp4. think it might be to do with the video file itself i`m converting, its off a torrent. also when playing it through windows media player on my computer it says: "the selected file has an extension (.mp4) that is not recognised by windows media player, do you want to try anyway" an when playing the file the sound is there but no picture. do you need codecs for mobiles??? because when 1st playing the original file on my computer before converting it for my phone, same thing happened and i had to download codecs to watch it.
anyway thanks for your reply

Videora (TD2 Version) works perfectly for me...
Can you play back the original file on your PC?
And the converted one?

TCMP
Tcmp is your solution !
If you do a little search of this forum you may find a version of tcmp supporting the srt files.
With tcmp, you don't need to convert your avi files. It run pretty well in full screen with 700 mb divx files on my topaz.

use pocketdivxenc
Hi everyone,
I use this http://www.pocketdivxencoder.net/EN_index.htm on my topaz and it's incredible....try it.
I use Beta version 0.4.5 and the templates tool, and i saw on my topaz Terminator Salvation, District 9 & Start Trek without problem on CorePlayer .
I hope it works for u
sorry for my english !!!

thanks for this, will the files play on windows media player on my phone when i`v used this or do i need a different player?

Usually Divx/Xvid..files for PC have an exagerated bitrate for PPC use, that is why it is wise to convert them.
Here's my technique:
1) convert original divx/xvid file with HTC Touch HD Video Converter, available here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=467112
2) Copy resulting .mp4 file to SD
3) Play with HTC Album
Note: Coreplayer can play this file aswell, but I think that htc album playback is smoother.
Unfortunately HTC Touch HD Video Converter doesn't rip dvd, can anyone suggest some all-in-one application to easily make divx?
