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.

Using Super to convert Video - Quick Question

Guys,
I'm using Super as per this link ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=3103846&postcount=394 ) to re-encode my video files for optimum playing on my Touch HD.
However whenever I choose Flash video it shows he output file to be an SWF and not FLV.
I have a later build than that shown in the picture and I can't get it to say FLV.
Can somebody help?
Thanks
EDIT: Scrap that I clicked encode and it gave me the option then...sorry - consider closed

hold up a sec pls.
this is even more of a newb question but..
What if you just want to covert a simple naughty mpg file from limewire etc?
would you still need to buy Coreplayer to get good result?
I'm using the old settings from my n95 atm so any basic settings appreciated.

That's a good question. quite frankly my Artemis was easier to use in terms of video playback...I encoded with PocketDivxEncoder and made the res smaller and job done. However I find lots of videos playing better in ALBUM than in Coreplayer (which is shocking in most flicks to be fair).
I have yet to find a "one size fits all" guide. I grab mostly XVIDs and want to convert them (I'm now downloading 720p rips and I'll see how they convert to FLV)...I converted a 720p trailer to FLV and it's lovely!

oh ok thanks.
I really have read up a bit more on the Wiki or other stickies cos I think I understood about two words of that second paragraph
I just wanna convert some free porn that's all..

If you want the perfect videos for the Touch HD, use this tool:
HTC Touch Video Converter
It has the optimal settings and is very easy to use.

...and it also doesn't give me very good videos to play - I think perhaps it's my source vid?

I used the coverter for more than 100 files already (HDTV and SDTV) and all have very good quality.
One thing is important for playback:
You MUST use Windows Media Player or the HTC Album for playback !
Only these programs can utilize the hardware acceleration and you need it, because the converted files are close to the maximum the HD can play.
If you still don't get good results, I guess you are right and the source file isn't the best.
Maybe you try some other files to see where the problem is.

[Q] Android Video Playback

I have installed this rom -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=814285
and had also installed the famour Azure 1.0.1 by aliba
i found both couldnt play some mp4
so my question is that does android support mp4 playback ? if it does how will i put it in my current rom [ i have tried 3rd part video players , it failed].
and what video extensions does a normal aOS support ?!
Thanks

Android supports mp4 playback.

but my default player aint playing mp4..are their certain resolution tht video need to be in ?

AFAIK, mp4 is a file container and many things depend on the codec that was used to encode the video file. Personaly i'm using Handbrake to encode videos for watching them on my Legend, so if you want i could share the "proper" preset for this task.

please share it or suggest some converter.

I installed Rock Player yesterday, which supports more file formats. I haven't tried a lot but it plays my downloaded Simpsons episodes just fine. They're in Xvid btw.

Does it work well for you? I got the free version and sometimes it loses audio/video sync...Any issues like that?

It works well but I've only tried short videos like tv show episodes. I read that longer complex videos might lose av sync at some points.

Download and install Handbrake (free app). The preset is attached bellow this post, (if you're using Windows Vista / Seven) move it to C:\Users\YourUserName\AppData\Roaming\HandBrake
Use preset called "Legend". Good luck
EDIT: don't forget to extract attached file.

is there a better player than rockplayer?
videos that arent 480x320 work incredible bad on my legend. itself the 5800 had a better video playback function than just every player i tried so far on the legend.

Video App + Settings

Convert using VLC player?

Does anyone know what the settings would be to convert hd video file to the proper H.264 format using VLC player. I heard there was a how to but i can not find it. does anyone have any suggestions? Thanks in advance

Recode
Have you thought of using XMedia Recode. It is a donationware video and audio transcoding program for Microsoft Windows developed by Sebastian Dörfler.

No i have not tried that. what settings do you use for it? thanks

I have been using AVS Video Converter lately and it is great. Always in sync and easy to use. Not free though.

I actually got an older version of AVS Video Converter. I can't figure out what format to convert to though. I hope, and guess, that our programs can expoert to about the same formats.
Which format do you use? I wanna covert into either 720p or 1080p.
