Hello,
I just got a new HTC touch HD and I was trying to convert a music video using the program Super located in the tutorial thread. However, after reading through the entire thread I tried it and ran into this problem.
My music videos are normally in .AVI form and runs a 25-29.97 frame/sec. Now the problem is that the HTC Touch HD runs smoothly in 23.976 frame/sec. When I set everything up, it gives me an error I guess due to the output being different from the input.
Can anyone help me with conversion tips? I'm currently just using the WMP.
It's hard to convert vidéo for Touch HD with SUPER because there are too many settings...
If you just want easily convert your vidéo, I suggest you to use HTC Touch HD Video Converter wich is very simple and give very good results
You can find it here

Just bought the touch HD! Im new to the whole converting videos for phone playback thing. I would really appreciate it if anyone here would share their experience with what free software to use to convert videos to playback flawlessly on my HD. What are the best settings and bitrate? Thx.

Hi Guys
Not long had my Touch HD and now wanting to get some movies onto it to watch whilst travelling into work.
I downloaded a trial of DVD catalyst 3, however I did a conversion and the result is pretty poor. Nothing to show off by!
I just wondered, what video settings I should be using and even the best video conversion software to be using.
Thanks

Hi,
you should really do a search, there have been many settings for many various applications posted, there is even a GUI you can use (based on menconder).
Actually getting a decent DVDtoDIVx converter is quite hard... I'd suggest Xilisoft DVD Ripper really
DVDCatalyst is the best for me. The Touch HD is listed as a device with default conversion setting and watching movies with Windows Media Player is fantastic. Images are smooth and the HD screen is fantastic. Using the HD defualt settings in DCat creates files between 450-550 megs. DVDCatalyst is well worth the $20. They offer a full featured 7 day trial version here http://www.a3vs.com/

I've tried a few, and the best I've found is the one johnpatcher mentions above : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=474955
Use DVDDecryptor to rip the DVD to VOBs, then VOBmerger to make the VOB files 1 big one - then run the Encoder above to make it perfect for the Touch HD. I admit its a bit of a faffing about, but it doesn't take much longer than using Xilisoft or something - which ends up with a movie with stuttery playback!
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.
ok well im slowly getting to grips with my touch, now obviously it comes with windows media player, i have also installed core player.
on my pc i have total video convertor and pocket divx convertor. which program should i be using to convert various avi's that i have to get the best quality, what format should i be converting into, and what program should i be using on my touch to watch them, iv had a few attempts and everything i convert seems to come out rather jumpy etc and just not good to watch.
thankyou.
Please use the search function or atleast google. This has been addressed many times over. In fact, it's been discussed so much that several great xda members have even made various programs/applications which will convert whatever input to an output which performs best on the HD. Most of these are in the Applications part of the Blackstone forum.
In a nutshell, the built in TF3D player is the best way to go since it's the only player which uses hardware acceleration and will give best results when playing mp4.
sincere apologies, i was just being lazy
will search now and delete core player lol
Hello pugme
Go here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=467112 and download this free video converter it’s the best one out there. The Touch HD has its own player and the quality of these 2 apps together is superb. If you put the converted films on to your sd card in a folder called films or what ever you want then start/programs/album/albums/storage card/films then select to play or add albums to your programs short cut.
Quality when watching is like half hd
use Duttys ROM with coreplayer i can play pretty much anything i want without jumping, dont get me wrong the converting programs on here are very good but why convert if you dont have too!
Hello,
please, what do you suggest as the best video&audio codec for playing films? Original is in FullHD (1920x1080) and I want to convert that to some playable format for HD2.
Do you have some codecs tested? Video and audio required: )
Thank you!
Have you try out the Prog xMedia Recode? Its free and the actually Version have a profile setting for the HD2. I use it since years. On my HD2 the Result is fine, but you can configure the different things like audio or video settings by your own.

Thanks!
xMedia Recode has HTC HD2 profile, but encoding ends after 0:01 and doesn't encode anything
This one is pretty nice:

Oh, that seems like a problem with your Pc. I recode my files ever with this and it works fine, but only on my pc. On my Notebook it don´t work, i have no idea why. But like i say, on my "normal" Pc its work perfectly. Maybe a problem with a installing codec or something?
Touch HD Encoder found in the Blackstone forum here works fine as well. I convert all my HD Films on that to stuff up my storage card and dont have any problems watching them that way - files are then mp4 by the way and very good quality.
