Free Video Converter?

Anyone know of any free programs you can get that work like Pocket DVD Studio?
Thanks

PocketDivXEncoder will convert most files for your tytn, as long as you have a divx player - such as the core's TCPMP.
You might find some useful info and divx files at phonevidz.com

Also see my articles, I've listed / tested quite a few of these converters; see for example http://www.pocketpcmag.com/blogs/in...deo_flv_files_on_the_poc&more=1&c=1&tb=1&pb=1

Thanks!
PocketDivXEncoder does the trick perfectly.

Well it did....
I seem to be getting MAJOR artefacts during playback that gets worse and worse until TCPMP just goes nuts and the whole screen just starts flickering and squeezing and stretching.
Does anyone know what I'm doing wrong and why TCPMP is behaving like this?
Thanks

Coreplayer as TCPMP is now known has lots of problems on TyTn due to its particular processor. If you search on forum you'll find no lack of posts. Some folks manage reasonable playback with certain settings. Me, I'm sticking to WMV format and Windows mobile player until they get it sorted.
The settings that work/semi work I'm sure will be on some of the other posts. Menniesyys has written quite a lot on this I believe.

Nice one....It works fine under some of the other video options such as GDI and Raw FrameBuffer although I haven't taken a look at benchmarks for either.
Thanks!

Coreplayer Audio

I've set my Coreplayer up as per the posts elsewhere in the Athena threads and the video quality is almost perfect now.
I'm using 320x240, DivX 6, 500-700KBps constant bitrate files.
Stereo MP3 audio. 96kbps or 128kbps.
After 10 mins of playback the audio slowly starts to lose sync (it plays fine on my PC).
Has anyone got any ideas what I need to do to stop the audio from losing sync?
Any help greatly appreciated.

hi
when you say "outof sync", does this mean that the audio is fine but the video is not "in time"? if yes, that's exactly what i was going to ask in the forum =) but i'll be trying the parameters you set. i've been meaning to ask the "optimized" setting for this application.
cheers

Yep, that's exactly it. It starts off fine, then ever so slowly the video gets ahead of the audio.
I've 'fiddled' with just about every setting I can think of within Coreplayer but have yet to find a solution.

well, at least your video gets ahead. for me it's the other way around...the video is late yet the audio sounds perfect =)
cheers

ive already asked this question. with no replys. ive tried every setting and format possible. still loses sync. it doesnt matter if its from the sd card micro drive or streaming. it still loses sync. ive even tryed disabling the auto scaler and running tcpmp over clocked. still loses sync. im a a loss. if you find a solution let me know.

I guess we need to wait for the next version of Coreplayer which will (hopefully) be released on the 18th of June. It supposedly fixes some of the ATI issues.

I am so sick to death of this subject!! Not mad at you guys, but at ATI/AMD. This has been an ongoing issue since September last year when the TyTN was released with the ATI Imageon chip, and due to no input or support from ATI/AMD, Corecodec cannot fix this issue as it's to to with the Imageon hardware.
Bottom line is find the settings that work best for you. For me, I find TCPMP v0.72RC more stable and versatile than CorePlayer v1.04. Also set Video driver as Imageon (NOT Imageon decoder!) this yields best performance and visual quality 'during' playback.
If you're using DVD-Rips use the above setting, but if your playing/stretching QVGA 320x240 on your Athena, then Rawframebuffer mode is even more stable in the GUI, but lacks the ooomph of the Imageon driver, which to some extent might well eradicate your lipsync issues.
One more test folks. Play your video whilst your Athena is pluggen in to mains power. See if the lipsync is still out. If it is make manual adjustments in the A/V offset in TCPMP under Advanced.

How cam that you can use it.
I'v tried 0.72 version as well as 0.81 and both give me the "crash.txt" error while starting TCPMP.
Oh, you are using CorePlayer not TCPMP, right?

im using coreplayer the latest version becuase tmcp as you said keeps on crashing, (for me too).
With a hard reset playing even a video in windows media player still gives a audio lag. Its so bad, now i don't care about quility just let me have a video with audio i don't care how bad the video looks like.
Does anyone have any solution? ive tried all kinds of "video output" settings and it still gives audio lag (even raw framebuffer)

FINALLY! ah found it after lots of searching of google and forums and sites...
its -400ms and its perfect thought the whole video..
(Note: the best method that i use to see if its in sync is to watch a lecture and then watch their mouth real careful and you'll see that -400ms gives the best results )

What is this -400Ms?

-400ms is -400 milliseconds as in time. The minus sign means "start playing the video 400 milliseconds ahead of the audio. Its perfect for core player put all the settings on max just take acceleration and dithering off. And it plays a DVD rip perfectly no conversion very sweet on its 5 inch screen
If you don't know put the -400 in the settings next to "manual A/V offset +/-" and just type in "-0.400"

Does it play flv files as well?

Coreplayer plays flv files, yes. There's no need to separately install additional component. It benchmarks better than TCPMP in my test.

Please help: the REAL Coreplayer settings

Dear friends,
A Coreplayer (official license) user as from yesterday, but like some others I have some "setting up trouble".
Lower quality videos are playing well, but crisp high quality movies I have located on the MicroDrive aren't at maximum framerate, like it was when using TCPMP 0.72RC. These movies are also pausing for a few seconds after the first seconds of playback (happens everytime when I open the movies). This all wasn't the case with TCPMP.
To make things clear, who can please help me with the best possible settings in Coreplayer 1.1.1?
I'm asking for all the important settings, so the Preferences pages Video, Audio, Buffering, Advanced, ATI IMAGEON and DirectDraw, including all their to set values, to check or uncheck boxed, etc.
I hope someone knows all these settings and that he/she is willing to share them with me!!
Thanks!!

Just a quickie - what benefits does Coreplayer have over TCPMP? - I've been very happy with TCPMP so far.

TCPMP Optimized Settings?

I've been watching a few videos on my Mogul and have noticed that I cannot seem to get the audio and video to match up quite right no matter what settings I use. Has anyone played around with the settings to get the best performance out of TCPMP on their mogul? What settings are you using?
Hope this hasn't been discussed before, I searched but found nothing useful.

Here's my settings and they work great. Go to Options-Video and set it to GDI.
Then go to Options-Settings-Select Page-Advanced then go to the Manual A/V offset +/- and type in "-300" without the quotes.
That will make the lips sync with the sound.
Enjoy.

Thanks! Definitely a lot better!
Curious, what does GDI stand for?

Is GDI really the fastest choice on the Mogul? I had heard that until recently Raw FrameBuffer was the best choice, and that now with 6.1 DirectDraw is also good.

I think there is little difference between Raw FrameBuffer and GDI but have mine on GDI. I see a reduction in quality in DirectDraw as the Titan does not have the drivers to run it properly. There was quite a bit of discussion on this in one of the past two ROM threads. Try both and see what suits your needs best. These settings only affect TCPMP though.

Awesome thanks for the settings! Does anyone know if this player plays wmv files? WHen I use the browser in TCMP player WMV files do not show, any ideas?

I dont see WMV on the list but you can associate media files at the following. Launch TCMTP and go to Options>Settings...>Select Page>File Associations

Coreplayer

Im starting to get the feeling my phone never came with it. I can't find it anywhere.. does anyone know where it should be? Even a directory location would be helpful but i've searched the phone from top to bottom looking for it

coreplayer is not included software for htc hd2 (as far as i know)

Its not included, you can get it from http://coreplayer.com/
While I get 158% on benchmark and it plays really smoothly (in the benchmark) it then judders and is useless when not in benchmark mode, so I wouldn't bother with it...

I am having problems installing Coreplayer. Running the purchased pocketpc cab file it tells me my hardware isn't supported. I have been in touch with Coreplayer (who take at least 24 hours to respond) and all they can tell me is I need to use the pocketpc version, this is what I am using. I've paid for this and it won't run on my phone even after factory resetting, I'm getting frustrated now after 3 days of trying.
Has anybody else had problems? Are there any possible solutions such that I can install it?
Any help gratefully received

Ah cheers guys. I hate video reviews that show apps and claim that they come with the phone lol. Yeah i'm not reading great things about it though so I deffo wont be purchasing it.

It's working just fine with me, make sure you set GDI as video output.

Coreplayer works fine on mine... although it doesnt rotate or follow the GUI like it used to on my omnia.
This seems to be a failing throughout the interface... the rotation doesnt follow the device.
Is there any way to fix this
GG

Direct Draw seems better than GDI on mine, wierd

Coreplayer installs and works fine, however i am unable to enable A2DP functionality with with my headset. It recognises volume control but not pause, Forward or backward.
However i think this is a device issue, as i've tried installing S2P and it does exactly the same thing!
Anyone have any ideas?

I have the feeling that the image quality on HD with QTV enabled on Coreplayer is better when playing the same file on HD2 with GDI or RAW FB.
Anybody can confirm ?

I just found this thread and wanted to thank tnyynt as I had been using Coreplayer with the default DirectDraw setting and the playback wasn't so great but changed to GDI and it surpasses my Archos 5 IMT. Top stuff.

So GDI is better than DirectDraw ? haven't noticed any difference, at least for me. Although GDI takes advantage of hardware acceleration at some points.

In scenes where the camera was panning sideways with Directdraw you could see the image kind of wobble as it redrew the picture from top to bottom but with GDI selected this no longer happens. Much smoother playback of XviD's for me.

Can you guys please post details of the verions of Coreplayer you are using?
I ask I was 'acquired' a copy of v1.3.2 to test and it seemed fine. I then went and purchased a copy (latest - v1.13.6) however on installing this it seems dreadful no matter what settings I used.
Not sure if this is something to do with me uninstalling one version then installing another, or a ROM upgrade etc, however just wanted to check.
Cheers, Simon

CorePlayer v1.3.6 on HD2 only 50% qality rending any video !!!
The video image quality on HD2 with CorePlayer v1.3.6 GDI or RAW is lower with 50% !!! When playing the same file on HD2 with HTCvideoPlayer video image is the best !!!
