(Takes a deep breathe)
I'm been trying to troubleshoot this problem all day, what video format works on wmp?!
I've tried FLV, AVI, MP4, and even WMV.
FLV and AVI both fail to register, there's video for MP4 but for some reason it's going at 2x/3x the speed! And WMV(2) is unworkable.
I been using imovie and vlc to convert the formats, and I can't find a format that works.

Ive tried encoding a few movie clips to watch on my Hermes I've tried mp4 and avi but just get an error message, file type not supported.

can i not just convert a video file to mp4 or the correct file type and play it through windows media that cam on the device?
Depends on what you are using to encode the video. The WMP may not have the decoder. Although, AVI movies all have the same *.avi, all AVI movies can be different, depending on what encoder you used to encode the video and the audio. Hence, not all player is able to play all AVI movies. I think it goes relatively the same to MP4 also.
Anyway, what format are you trying to convert. You can go Microsoft homepage and download their Windows Media encoder to encode your stuff into WMV format which should play nicely on your phone.
I have been using Xilisoft MP4 convertor, converting from .avi to .mp4
I will try out the Windows Media encoder and encode into WMV format.
Thanks for the info
converted ok but its not full screen when selected..! any ideas?
its ok sorted it out...!!!!!!!!!
I have a wmv movie on my PC that I want to watch on my Mogul. I have another mpeg movie that plays beautifly on the phone, but when I re-encode the wmv, I get choppy/no playback. I tried converting to mpeg1, all sorts of bitrates , tried converting to avi with 4-5 different encoders with all sorts of settings, nothing made it playable. What is a good encoder/settings for getting this movie watchable on my phone?
I'm assuming you've got the video mode in TCPMP set to GDI? If I don't have that set then I get video chop too.
I have an HTC diamond 2 windows 6.5
it should support video AVI
but i can't play AVI files without sync it with media player to wmv??
why it can't play AVI
and MP4 files played only sound not with picture?
why is that
is there is any codec or update for the windows mobile media player!!!
You need xvid or divx player such as TCPMP or CorePlayer
I've tried MPEG4, x264, AVI, XVID and nothing plays. Anybody have a clue what video format to use? I have never once watched a loaded video on Android equipped HD2 because it doesn't seem to play any common video format.
natively i dont think it will play any of them you need rockplayer
Rockplayer rox... it supports DivX, Xvid, FLV, RMVB, MOV, AVI, MKV, ASF or WMV
try mp4 or 3gp
Here is a search on market
MP4
I use MP4forHD (program on pc) to convert any video file to MP4 HD2 format, wich is present in the program.
Seen several movies on my HD2 while going to work, great quality.
Definetly plays 3GP
I found a program called Videora that works excellently. It's idiot simple, too. lol...right up my alley.
Thanks to all the replies.
Hey everyone,
I've been trying out all the different apps that claim to be able to play an impressive array of video formats, but none of them can play a simple avi video file (even though it says avi support/playback in the app descriptions).
So, my question for you is, have any of you discovered a way to watch avi files, or any other video formats on the legend without flat out converting it to a playable format? (ex wmv, 3gp, mpeg are the ones supported i believe). Post your comments/thoughts/experiences!
Thanks for reading,
Michael
yxplayer or something like that, and rock player are doing just fine for me...
Vplayer is good
Sent from my HTC Legend
Just for the record, note that AVI is not a video format but a video container.
An AVI video can be encoded in MPEG4, WMV and so on, so even all the players claims they can play AVI videos, that doesn't meant they can play all the formats found in AVI files.
FYI: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Audio_Video_Interleave
And: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_container_formats
Never the less it's not the format that is not supported by the Android core, it's the container...
That's why AVI video will consume much more computing power, the program just has to calculate those frames "manually"...
