I keep reading about issues with video playback on the Touch HD & I haven't noticed quite the same amount about the X1.
So is the X1 better at playing videos out of the box, even though it's HTC hardware as well?
No, it's not better. It's the same (like the Diamond, Touch Pro etc..it's all the same hardware)

Wrong. HD is 10-20% better than Xperia at video playback.

Nice to know that HD is better at video playback than SEXXI. Thanks for the link to that article, Tnyynt.

Thanks for the link to that article, very useful.
Hy to all, I've write in the forum staff of Greetech (Gom Player) if they think to produce a Gom Player optimized for Qualcomm Chipset (Touch HD and Diamond) with AC3 and Subtitle.
I think if they see a good response from users they can think to do that!

After searching for the best video player for the HD2, including trying CorePlayer (latest version) and the Smart Movie 4.0, I have finally come to the conclusion that the Mobile Window Media that comes with the HD2 is the best player.
Here are the reasons why.
1. Core Player cannot play the movie Transformers 2 that comes with the HD2 smoothly while the Mobile Window Media player can play it very smoothly.
2. Instead of paying for Core Player, use the money and buy the ImTOO MPEG encoder ultimate and convert the .VOB file in the DVD disc of your favorite movie and convert it to H.264/MPEG-4 video (*.mp4) with 800 x 480 resolution and 1500 bit rate and you will get a movie that is just like the Transformer movies that comes with the HTC HD2.
Hey mate,
Just FYI the Mobile Window Media player embedded uses hardware support for video playback. The Coreplayer has yet to do this so invariably it will suffer as a result..
Fantastic guide though...Thnx..
Don't forget an xda developer -projection has also posted a HTC HD encoder.
Not sure which of the two is better but still nice to know..
You can also use Handbrake (freeware) to convert directly from DVD to MP4 (m4v).

I agree...
Using the HTC encoder from these forums today took too long and the quality was sub-par. With this program you can choose the bit-rate and the quality is sensational..
++++1 to OP
Kudos mate
I really dislike re-coding my media library in advance of wanting to watch something on the go, and I find CorePlayer handles well with almost an XVID/Divx I drop it's way, at a very acceptable quality level.
It's my two biggest gripes with this machine:
1) Windows Media Player has such limited codec support.
2) HTC won't pay Qualcomm to allow other companies access to the drivers (I think that's the reason anyway).
Either way, it nearl put me off the HD2, until I felt reassured the 1GHz Snapdragon could make up for the lack of native support.
I used that encoder year's back for my Sony Ericcson, but again I'm not prepared to put that work in (not out of laziness, I just want to be ready to go at a moment's notice and not have to factor in half-an-hour per video - nor do I want to re-encode all of my thousands of media files )

what you got Transformers 2 with your HD2? what the Duck!!!
hahaha
I think that there is a big flaw in windows media player: it doesn't rememeber the position of the film. That means that if you close it the position is lost. I typically look the films in small parts, as logical in a mobile device. There is a plugin to solve this but it doesn't work.
This is not a problem in core player, but core player is a lot slower.
i use a divx player on my HD2 for all my movies - they play great.

I just use the iPhone/Ipod Touch preset. I think you can configure it for any output resolution you want though. The other great thing about Handbrake is that it can burn subtitles onto the video
hi
any body can send me link to download coreplayer for htc hd2 and divx player
Guys,
Try this out and let me know what you think about the video quality. I think it looks pretty damn good. This is the official DivX player - v0.94 (Released early 2010). The interface is very minimal but it definitely seems to be better than CorePlayer so far.
Please throw some quality high-res videos (800x480 and beyond) at it and post back.
If you guys can, it would be a good idea to throw in a few tests with Chainfire's D3D & OpenGL ES drivers.
If only WMP's "scale to fit" didn't cut off part of the video (we're talking resolutions that are LESS than 800x480).
That and the ridiculous audio lag on the HD2. I can't believe people can stand watching Transformers with that delay. Even from the very beginning where a fishing buoy is dropped into the water (and the splash is heard well after the impact, lol) all the mouths move well in advance of the words coming out.
It's preposterous. I'm holding out on the hope that Linux (accelerated) will eventually be the solution, in which case mplayer would be the "Best video player on the HD2" hands down.
thanks
thank you very much , any luck on team viewer for windows mobile version
any new software available for htc hd2
moreover, can i get advice that, whether video out is available on htc hd2
Confirmed!
This (DivX for WinMo v0.94) is MUCH better than CorePlayer. The video is very smooth, except for some very occasional freezing of the frames which is barely noticeable. I observed that only once though.
There is absolutely NO Audio lag. All my videos played fine except for one, but in this case, the audio played before the video randomly in some areas of the timeline.
I'm starting to wonder if this might be hardware accelerated.
@nagagaya: HD2 does not support TV-Out.
Woah, what a shock. I'll have to try this. I wonder when it was released, and for what devices...

Going by the file date from within the cab, the release is as recent as 25-MAY-10!
Interesting... I tried it with three HQ DivX files, and they all stuttered and were jerky, compared to playing fine in TCMCP.
Ignoring playback, my general thoughts are:
+
I love the Video Browser - always wanted one of these (and would LOVE one as a Sense tab)
-
I wish the "Fullscreen" buttons etc were bigger.
I downloaded Xilisoft Video Converter,
and it has the 800x480 native res under the Nexus one MP4 profile on the application, I converted a 356MB Sesame Street AVI in 10 Minutes which came out perfect on my HD2,Absolutely no video stutter or out of sync audio.
I then let my 3 year old Son test it out, and he definitely approves!!!
I have tried like 5 different softwares promissing to deliver awesomeness on the 800x480 Res screen, and all have failed to deliver
Xilisoft video converter works best for me, Im downloading the transformers 11gig WMV and will be converting that, then transformers 2 1080p IMAX version 17gb and also converting to MP4 and I will be uploading those to a private tracker that I'm a member on, it may be a week before they are both up but PM me if interested and I will provide you with a magnet link once transformers 1&2 are up.
Xilisoft is good! I use it to rip dvds into .mp4 and watch them on the hd2
I found Total Video Converter to work pretty well as well. Converted Avatar in 45 minutes in 800x480 2000 bitrate. It converted it to around 1.3gb. Quality is awesome.
Thanks for the tip, I will try that one too, I'm not totally happy with the results of Xilisoft, Allok or Videora at this point.
I use XMedia Recode.
My favorite so far.
have you tred Coreplayer?
I used to get converters, but after I got the Omnia and now the HD2 I realize that they are really not needed with Coreplayer. Corplayer lets you play most movies and they have various screen ratios to choose from. I used to watse time trying to fit them to my screen. Coreplayer willl save you a lot of time but it does cost. just my 2 cents.
I use DVDFAB is good take long time but good

@DaveNavy,
First warning. No posting warez or links to warez sites.
I use Extra DVD Ripper Express for all devices include HD2.. its is best WS resolution screen 480x272, 480x320, 720x406 MP4 for HD2

Dave, he was just using the term as a catch-all, referring to the following in the forum rules:
6. Do not post warez.
If a piece of software requires you to pay to use it, either pay or find your cracks and serials somewhere else. We do not accept warez nor do we permit any member to promote or describe ways in which Warez, cracks, serial codes or other means of avoiding payment, can be obtained.

It's a pretty strict line that's drawn around here, regardless of what term you use.
I appreciate that fellas makes me feel a little more secure when following the information here ---this phone has opened a new world for me and I need a trusted source for information and you guys seem to be on top of it for sure

The site that you posted is one of the biggest warez sites in the world. It isn't that the software itself was warez or not, but you linked to a known warez site and that is just as against the rules as it is to post the warez itself.

My thoughts exactly, why would you want any video with resolution higher than 480x800 (HD2) ?? 1920x1080 > 480x800 !
Anyways, How about this great little (Free!) utility, it converts most video (flash, divx, mkv, etc etc) to a format the HD2's native Album Player (not coreplayer etc) understands & plays very well. There are profiles for HD2 specifically as well as other phones, even iPhone

theres a video player there with tons of apps. the video player is sweet because there is no conversion needed. it plays all video formats. just drag it into a folder on your storage card and enjoy! i put 8 full movies on my card in less than 2 hours.

I believe that would be This app. Really great player, most movie files, such as divx, I just copy from PC & paste into SD and it plays them right with great performance & quality. It also has many advanced options.
Well, the WMV files will play but it's slow & jerky.
so isn't there to play HD AVI files on htc HD mini?
AVI will play!, but if 720p and above won't.
I searched so much and couldn't find one?
Strange it's Microsoft Windows Mobile! I don't believe, it must have!
We see on our Computer Windows has a Great Media Player
Thanks
Can't play at MP4 720p & above!
In the Album, I see the Picture of the Video!
but when press it, a Black screen will display! looks like it's it's finished?
Can't play at MP4 720p & above!
but lower yes.
So the problem is the Windows Mobile or htc HD mini? or needs a Software Codecs?
Thanks
same problem

Have you tried another video player like CorePlayer?
Maybe the CPU is not strong enough to play that files...
Yes I tried CorePlayer Before!
But I Never seen too Worst Player
Well Codiak, the CorePlayer doesn't play HD or so Jerky plays!
We need to be Powerful and should play HD Videos!
I Don't think the Phone is Bad;,
I think the Windows Mobile or the Players aren't Good!

wait for Android to be fully ported,and try Android players.
btw why do you want to play HD videos on HALF VGA screen resolution?
FULL HD=1920x1080
HALF VGA=320x480
p.s. i converted some videos on 720p and didnt work,then i converted to 480p and works fine,and looks very good,clear and bright..just like HD on TV,give it a try
