I bought on the market the Android7AVIPlayer. I copy on the phone the movies i want to watch, in avi format, the program see the movie but doesn't start them. The weight of these files are about 750 mb each one and on the sd card there is a lot of free space. There is also a lot of free spece on the main memory of the phone. Is there someone that has the same problem? Is there a freeware to convert the files to a different format so to have an easylier access to them??
The Android7 team is one big mess. They make paid apps that don't work, a document reader, a PDF reader, a flash viewer, etc...
You'll have to convert your avi to .mp4 with a PC app, I use "Any Video Converter".

just bought myself a 1 gb sd card from crucial.
can i convert my dvd collection to a format small enough to fit onto my 1 gb sd card. copying my dvd collection is not legal as long as i have an original copy at my home, correct?
i have got dvdshrink, can i use this to shrink dvd's to a pda exec size?
The dude tells you this ;-)
Pocketdivxencoder to shrink them to ±250MB each
TCPMP to play them on your Universal.
The combo is awesome & really a show off.

Converting dvd to SD
There is a software called " dvd studio" it's meant to be really good. you can buy it on pocketgear I think.
PocketDivxEncoder is free

what settings do you usually use to get the dvds to that size?
DVD shrink to backup a re-authored copy (remove the menus and other unneccessary frippery) (free)
AutoGordianKnot to convert the films down to 300Mb (ish) each (free)
TCPMP player to view (free).

Standard qvga (320*240) biggest problem is the sound, that must be good. So I'm still tweaking for best results. Have good experience with the wmv format too. Pretty compact & good quality. I downloaded a free Microsoft converter somewhere for this, but handles like hell.

I have all my movies for pocket pc between 165-170MB each to fit three onto a 512MB card and the quality is very good. PocketDiVxEncoder rocks!!! You can do absolutely everything, crop it to fit better to the screen, adjust the volume, cut the movie.
And of course TCPMP as a player!
I've just converted few movies for my 13h flight tomorrow.
thanks for the replies
i just downloaded the pocketdixexncoder on my pc, do i convert .iso's into output file, and what outfile do i convert it to
i guess i speify the outut file in the second dialog(tab). out of interest what software was pocketdixencoder written in?
i went to the tcpmp site, i geuss i should download this file tcpmp.smartphone.0.71.exe, correct?
no. The Universal is a Pocket PC , not a Smartphone.

I usually copy my dvd to harddisk or convert straight from dvd. Convert them to divx (avi container) & TCPMP will do the rest on the PPC
i went to the following link
http://corecodec.org/frs/?group_id=53&release_id=224#r224
and it gives me the following options
tcpmp.arm.cabs.0.71.zip
tcpmp.mips.cabs.0.71.zip
tcpmp.setup.0.71.exe
tcpmp.sh3.cabs.0.71.zip
tcpmp.smartphone.0.71.exe
convert straight from dvd using pocketdivxencode ??

will the xda exec have juice for 13 hours?
It depends on your cpu, which to download. For magician it is arm (pxa272), since a universal got a pxa270 you should download the same arm version.
Point PocketDiVXencoder to the first vob of the movie & go

Not if it is "protected". Use DVDDecrypter to rip the DVD contents to .VOB files, then PocketDivXEncoder to convert and compress these into avi for TCPMP.
AnyDVD ain't free, better results with newer protection systems & you can run straight from DVD ;-)

This is how i watch movies on my universal, I tend to use DVD Decypter as well for occasionaly as well as DVD shrink.
It works great, got a collection of CSI season 1 on my universal at the moment

i downloaded tcpmp.arm.cabs.0.71.zip and when i unzipped it, i ended up with 5 files. i was expecting an exe file and i saw the following files.
readme.txt
tcpmp.arm720_ce3.cab
tcpmp.arm_ce2.cab
tcpmp.arm_ce3.cab
tcpmp.arm_sp.cab
does arm720 mean that it is an ARM 7 processor, i thought the universal had an xscale in it. i went through the readme file the cab files seem to be for wince 2.xx, 3.xx and 4.xx
does not the xda exec have a windoes mobile version 5.0
should i use one of the above for tcpmp, also it is a .cab file, do i copy the cab file to a location on my xda.
if i need to copy it, can i copy it to my sd card memory?
hey i did a bit of searching and came across an exe file which i have downloaded from http://www.tcmp.org/
if this is the player tcmp4.exe then what do i do with the .cab files
also when i start up pocketdivxencoder
i select my device as smartphone (leftmost option), is that the right option for the xda exec
P.S. is there a way i can unzip zipped files on my xda?
Before installing the cab-file, get a copy of cabinstl first. With cabinstl you can decide yourself where a cab installs.
I'd go for tcpmp.arm_ce3.cab, if it's not correct you can always try another, & no you have a PPC & not a SMART PHONE :!:.
With Resco Explorer you can unzip on your PPC, PocketRar is nice as well & there's a stand-alone zip which I got from TMO in my ext-roms ftp://xda:[email protected]_1.13.125/Zip_Magician_T-Mobile_WWE_RC20.CAB maybe it works on your device too. Didn't found a universal variant.
Don't know about that exe file, but you can always uninstall it. Or make a backup first with Sprite Backup.

tcmp rocks. i managed to get an avi file based on a dvd playing on my xda.
i had one question, a dvd is composed of multiple vob files, say vob1, vob2 and vob3, this means that i end up with 3 avi files, myavi1.avi, myavi2.avi, myavi3.avi, is there any way i can end up with a single avi file?
I use Video Convert Master 3.0 from
It gives the option convert anything, from file or DVD disk direct, (although never used this i tend to start with the avi and need to reduce the size)
anywhoo it will convert to Mpg RM WMV AVI and DVD, there are seperate profiles for converting and within WMV there is an option for POCKETPC (windows media video 9 for pocket pc) which will encode the file to the correct screen size etc, TCPMP sorted the need for this being able to play avi direct.
You can limit the output file size to 170meg also it has the 'priceless' option of entering multiple video files and it will automatically combine them onto one file,
Hope this helps,
http://www.video-convert-master.com
Also the files you mentioned in TCPMP zip file,
I have found that there are two display types for TCPMP, the menu bar can be at the top as normal or switched to be at the bottom with the player functions at the top.
Good in theroy and does look nice, personally i dont like my handset having that much work to do when coming out of watching a film, has caused issues for my software overloaded pda in the past.
So the files as i know them are
tcpmp.arm720_ce3.cab - doesnt work, (on (my) 2003 anway)
tcpmp.arm_ce2.cab - Cab file for UPSIDE DOWN VIEW
tcpmp.arm_ce3.cab - Cab file for NORMAL VIEW
tcpmp.arm_sp.cab - Never used it dont know.
With this site, you put in the address of the youtube video you want then it generates a .flv file which you can rename and save to your memory card on your phone (any site that uses this format will work). Then you can use TCPMP to view it directly, flv files are really small and this method works great.
I got Tool Sober as my first try and it looks good.

Why not use the Flashvideo bundle along with TCPMP to play videos?
This is integrated into PIE after you install the software and you can view and save videos with out using another website.
does this work for non youtube flv files too?

This is for rapid download and save, through a PC, ultimately so you can have them in a folder for offline viewing. Flashvideo is great for watching when you have a data connection, but there are times I don't want to fool with it, like at the gym on the treadmill.
I like to have music videos playing in my car through my stereo and this is the best method that I can think of for downloading them in batches to my phone for later viewing.
METHOD #2: Open youtube or any other site with the .flv ending and allow it to buffer fully. Then go into your temp file and resave that file what you want with a .flv ending. Save that to your storage card and boom, music videos on the go (without a data connection of course).
Hi All
iwant 2 watch movies on hermes, i already hav tcpmp installed, but cannot transfer movie files to memory card, it only works when i convert files 2 3gp format with convertor, but i get totally crappy quality.
Any advice out there?
Cliffy101 (newb)
I've always had issues with TCPMP. I just convert movies to MP4 with my laptop, stick 'em on my memory card, and watch 'em with WMP.
Just buy a memory card reader to transfer files to your card. They are dirt cheap on eBay and about 15$ in stores. The transfer rate via activesync is horrible, so you are better with it for file transfers, may it be pictures, videos or music.
Tnx
tnx, i'll try the mp4 & card reader options ...
I have another question though, the library of WMP cannot read media on the card, is this normal on hermes?
i dont have a hermes but when i choose update lib in options
and choose sdcard un the playlist i get all my music from the sdcard
that the wmp can play that is it dont support many formats

Windows media has limited format support and sometimes videos are slow too. I sugger TCPMP when possible. Coreplayer, its shareware version, is an excellent player and features a library just like in windows media player, but even better!
N1c0_ds, reverse that, core player is commercial and tcpmp is shareware...
Really like core player though, has many format support...
If you don't mind paying for something, would recommend it.
Cheers.....
Cool!!! ... tnx all 4 ur advice, I cn't stop watchin movies now, i'm considering Core playr...
Vive la XDA!!!!

Maybe this will work for you!? i havent tried it but it looks pretty good.
Heres another convertor http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=492261
I personally use AVS video convertor -http://www.avs4you.com/AVS-Video-Converter.aspx?sct=inc&ct=google&cid=67 it is a paid app but very good and simple to use, but i'm sure there must be free versions of a similar program available.
also i convert to MP4 and play using either Coreplayer-http://coreplayer.com/, TCMP-http://picard.exceed.hu/tcpmp/test/or the built in HTC Album video player. others use different formats for higher compression(to fit more on the sd card)..... Definately think about trying out/buying CorePlayer as it is a great media player.
These are easy to find, use the search box at the top right and you can find a lot of information for our devices. have fun!!
Welcome to the forum
Video converters
I personally would look for a program called Format Factory. Search for it on google. It can convert any video, audio ,pictures etc into any format you want and best of all, it's free.
My favorite converter is dvd::rip (http://www.exit1.org/dvdrip/). I've converted movies to 480x256 that play beautifully with CorePlayer.

Does this convert movie files into that size/resolution or just DVDs?
I use a program called DVD Catalyst. It cost me like $20 but I can rip into any format and screen size I want. I use the free TCPMP to play all my movies on my TP2.

did::rip will only covert DVDs (after ripping them), but I think installing it will also give you command-line tools to be able to convert other formats as well. I haven't looked for a GUI for that yet.
I dvdfab to rip the DVD to my hard drive and AutoGK to convery to Xvid format. Both are really easy to use. I use the basic free DviX player to play them. Not a very nice player but it's free.
The best one... is FREE!!!
Being Dutch, you probably would like to have your subtitles included, something US and UK people does not take into account when looking for a media coder.
Here is the best, multilingual, I set profiles for my wife's Nokia and for my superb Tilt2 (and my old Fuze as well).
It comes with the codecs and the tutorials and all you need to rip any movies/DVD into your phone.

I use handbrake also, but do so in a slightly different way.
I got tired of re-ripping my movies each time I switched to a device that had a different resolution/codec/whatever. So what I did was to buy two 1TB drives, one for DVD Movies, and one for DVD TV shows. Then I downloaded the free DVDFab (http://www.dvdfab.com/hd-decrypter.htm). DVDFab will strip the DRM from the movie and copy it. For movies I only copy the "main movie", for TV Shows I "copy the entire disk".
Then, since I dual-boot Ubuntu Linux, I wrote a couple of scripts to use HandBrake to go through all of the DVD folders and convert any DVD Movie to my current movie codec (right now mp4 using H.264). For the TV DVD's I create a text file with each episode's title and location on the disk. That way I can again transcode them automatically.
So, for instance, when H.264/mp4 is no longer viable and we are all on WebM, all I have to do is download the latest version of HandBrake for Ubuntu, change the settings in the script, and re-run them. Viola, I have all of my movies and TV shows on my third 1TB drive that I can take with me and put on my phone or laptop or whatever.
I found FormatFactory to be better than handbrake if you already have the source on your computer and want to implement subtitles. Just my experience.
Below are the settings that I use.

....It doesn't on others. So you can decide who to believe. I mean, it's been used and recommended by xda members and other sites. So yeah, believe what you want and use what you want.
The only thing McAfee got right is the wavesecure app, otherwise I wouldn't just believe everything their software say.
