I have my movies located on a NAS server. Is there anyone who knows if it is possible to play movies directly from it. The films are in the "vob" format?
video_ts is just the folder name for dvd format videos. I dont have an answer for you, but to help you search you need to be searching for a player that supports '.vob', not 'video_ts'.

Thank you. I edit the title.
.vob is DVD MPEG-2, and there isn't any player that correctly supports it under WM, simply because it takes a lot of power to decode, which no WM device ever really had.
TCPMP with the AC3 and FFMPEG plugins will play it, but just barely on the HD2, a little laggy, and most importantly without deinterlacing, which looks ugly if your content is interlaced.

Hi,
Apologies in advance if I'm being incredibly stupid here, but has anyone successfully taken video clips using the xda2 camera and played them on the desktop? I've upgraded media player on the desktop to 9, I've installed the latest divx codecs - nothing. Both apps just complain at me.
Many thanks.
Spike.
i have the smae problem but i get video but no sound ????/
Hi,
I have not the problems you have both.
But I ´m using QuickTimePlayer. You can get it free at:http://www.apple.com/quicktime/

Editing the Video Files from i-mate

I got Quicktime Pro, it enables me to edit and rotate the moves as I wanted to. But when you save after say rotating the video it save the file as a Quicktime movie file which does not play on the i-mate. Any one know how to play that file on the phone.
Window Media player doesn't recognize.mp4, you could change the capture format to Motion-JPEG AVI. WMP does recognize this type of document. I have experieneced the same problem b4, since i change the capture format, it works perfect on my PC. Regarding the movie making, you could use Window XP's window movie maker. It also recognize the .AVI type of document. Once you import the document to Window Movie Maker, it will automaticall save it to the WMV format, which could be played on your PPC. Hope that helps your guys.
hi, i am lookng for a video player supporting subtitles in text format or other ?? is there anything like that ??
cheers, matt
I'm relative sure that TCPMP has you covered here.
i am using TCMPM and cannt see this option.
Don't think the core player supports subtitles and have not seen another player that includes this. Why not do what i do and encode the subtitles with the rest when i am encoding the video - comes out fine on my device - just about read the text. I use fair use wizard (free edition) for straight ripping from dvd to xvid including subtitles. http://www.fairusewizard.com/lang_en/fairuse_wizard_dvd_divx_xvid_backup_tool_light_edition.html
thats fine if i wanna rip dvds but i am tolking about avi format. i mean i usualy have avi movie in eng and polish subtitles in seprate txt format. i use vpaler on my desktop. any ideas ??
I think it does - in the version 0.72
Hi.
You may also try:

it's in polsh, but pictures are also.
Quite simple and it works.
And you will need the newest version of TCPMP: 0.81 with such support.

Yes, VLC media player. Google search it.
hi guys!
there is any way to play a movie (divx, xvid, etc.) on HD and to see also the subtitles of the movie (srt, txt, etc.)?
i don't want to reconvert them and iclude the sub, just to copy the movie file and the sub file in the same directory and play them in the same manner as on PC with BSPlayer
thank you!
yes, teoreticaly with TCPMP. But your video will most probably lag, because TCPMP sux. So you better burn them in your movie on PC.
i knew about tcmp but i also knew that it sux.
i thought that it would be possible with core or divx player or other player.
i have a lot of avi movies with separate sub file and i want to use them as they are.
thank you!
i forgot what program there was but you can embed the subtitles on the video and it re-encodes back to avi and it works with core player. i'll see if I can dig the program up again.
they are several programs, cucusoft is one of them, but, as i said, i don't want to reconvert them. i just want to use them as they are: avi file + sub file
when y put subtitles in TCPMP quality of pictures is worst than original,why?

Nothing of the sort, yet.
The Core Player people said that they might include such a function down the line.
that's just too bad.
we'll have to wait for people from coreplayer. hope not too long
Hi All,
I have tried searching for MP4 and AVI in the forums, but search results came up with nada.
Can someone please assist me with the BEST movie player for the Touch HD and how to encode the files?
I am currently using Slysoft CloneDVD Mobile. I selected Windows Smartphone as my encoding template, loaded the DVD, and built the AVI file. All went good.
I then copied it across to my Touch HD and tried to play it in WMP but get an error "Cannot play file" without any further details.
Any ideas people?
TIA
Sounds like a missing codec problem to me. i had the same with playing xvid movies. i use tcpmp player now instead of wmp, but am looking for a nicer prog.
I find Coreplayer to be the best using the DivX converter set to Mobile for compressing. It will compress most files and even convert AC3 files for use.
The playback is smooth whereas the actual DivX mobile and old TCPMP players seem to have a 1 second slight glich in playback (shown when a video is panning across a scene).
I have also found that if you use a File Explorer with Network access such as Resco Explorer, you can set the default player to be Coreplayer and play these files from any Network drive. I use an ASUS WLHDD2.5 small wireless hard drive with 100Gb capacity and can store loads of Music, movies and photos on it.
Ensure that Coreplayer can actually play the file type first or an error will occur.
Map your Network drive in Resco Explorer (follow the distructions..)
Select and hold the file to play in Resco, select open, Open with and then select Coreplayer.
Viola.
you might want to try the blackstone video encoding gui (search on this forum) to convert movies to mp4 and then play them via windows media player or tf3d video player. To date, those two players are the only ones capable of playing video using hardware acceleration
I use MP4forHD encoder software. Very good and clip quality very good. Playback using default Album player that comes with THD.

Try the attached CorePlayer 1.3.0. No need to encode files, it reads them all, works perfectly. Enjoy.

No acceleration though, so you have to encode to much lower quality.

Sorry, but main problem is that CorePlayer will not play movies with AC3 sound (5.1). A lot of new movies have 5.1 sound.
blabla
i love and hate AC3 at the same time
hi, have you seen this
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=474955
its a handy little prog that makes very good conversion and plays exellently in the htc player.
yes yes

And do you have 5 ears with 5 headphones?
What is the point for having 5.1 on a mobile device, it's not like you can output to TV anyways.
The point is to watch existing movies with AC3 soundtracks without spending hours to reconvert them first.
HEy everyone I was just wondering if anyone has a fav app for video conversion with 800*420 resolution support and one for DRM removal of itunes movies. the app i used to use for my G1 doesnt have any settings for 800*420 only 720*420 and doesnt offer any DRm removal for itunes videos. I just got a tmobile-US HD2 (bad-ass!!) and I would like to be able to convert my collection over to the HD2. I already searched the forums but couldnt find an exact awnser. So I am hoping some of you Euro-HD2 guys with a little experience on the matter could suggest a gem of an app for this.
Thanks in advance.

DRM removal anyone?
i know this might be a little unadvanced of a question for all you super genious's but i have been searching the web for any kind of software that can remove DRM protection from itunes purchased movies and i can't find anything that works.. . i guess ill try the burn to dvd method and return to computer without drm to see if it works. although this way seems a little excessive.damn you Apple and you movie studios and you record labels i bought the stuff i should be able to play it anywher anyone here has a trick or favorite method of doing this let me know. if there is no way could someone let me know also. thnks
I think most people here would be looking at 800 x 480 and not 800x420. If you do a search on XDA you will find quite a lot of information.
I'm not so sure about DRM, but I use Xmedia. it's fast and free.
It has HTC HD2 profile already in it, so it's very simple.
Just so you know, 800x480 is 15:9 not 16:9.
It converts it to MPEG4, so you can use windows media or video player. No extra players (Coreplayer is excellent for other files though) needed.
Only thing I haven't figured out is how to get subtitles on it.
My mkv movies have german subtitles embedded in it, and not by a separate .srt file.
oh well. still works very well.
Sure, it's no an answer to your question, but: usually converting a video to phone screen resolution format is wasted time.
The HD2 is more than powerful enough to watch xvid encoded videos, given you use a decent player, coreplayer > tcpmp, but tcpmp is good enough; bigger video has bigger files, yet a 16gb microsd is also big, and you're going to delete the file after you've watched it, so... save yourself the big hassle of video conversion

You can usually extract the embedded subs with apps like mkvextract....they come either in srt format or ass, which u can then convert to srt and use with tcpmp.

Which Xmedia program and version are you using? I searched and there are a ton.
