Any help me with playing avi videos, do I have to convert them or do anything with them before I can play them? Cant seem to get any to play, says format not playable.
edit
ignore this...they do work!!
lol, I copied the sharks tale trailer from the divx hd showcase site, worked flawlessly and looked awesome.

Does anyone know of any software that will play this format of file. I have searched all over and can only see suggestions that entail converting the files to .AVI or similar. Can do this, but is time consuming and output file is bigger and has lost some quality.
rmvb
u can play rmvb with real player
if you are talking about TVB drama from online etc, then nothing
It is a tv series I have, and real player on PPC will not play RMVB only RM files. Thanks anyway, looks like back to converting and good old TCPMP.
I'm using joox to download movies and I would like to know how can I download or sync the videos to my phone? Any ideas? Thanks in advance.
Could anybody tell me please how to upload movies to my phone, if it's possible? I never did it with my so I just though I try it. Thanks in advance!
fastest way would put them on your storage card via a card reader and then put the card in the phone.... I have some on mine and they work fine but I do tend to stick with just .avi format
Where do you get your videos from and how do you do it? Thanks!
I've been playing movies on my Titan with TCPMP (the core pocket media player) and everything is playing fine, plays Divx and XVid and everything.
just take your movie file and reencode it in 320x240 with wathever software you want. Personnaly, I always use PocketDivXEncoder, set it to PDA, crank the audio to 6 and an episode of 22 minutes takes around 55Mb
Man...it's frustrating when you're a novice to some things. Could you explain a little further how to download the movies to my computer and then to my phone? Now, I download the movies to a my realplayer library and I'm stuck at that point.
well, I don't know how the Realplayer thingy works, I usualy just download TV Rips (in Divx or Xvid) then reencode them. I guess google is your friend for the rest!
Ok. Thanks for what you told me anyway.

When you install Realplayer, it gives you the option to record video and audio streams from flash players, though it saves them in real format. I personally prefer SUPER (thats the name of the program), which downloads and reencodes the videos on the fly. It even has presets for several screen formats. Also, it's freeware, which helps.
Cheers.
i remember just dragging n dropping avi movies on my Blackberry bold ..i can just play the movie and enjoy it.
but on X1..the Windows media player says 'cannot play the file'
why?
isnt it supposed to be more friendly with such formats?
NO..i am not willing to pay for a software just to play a world famous .avi format.
avi
simple answer is NO you can not play avi's out of box. you have a couple options....either re-encode the video to another format or dl a different player. I like coreplayer and i know alot of other people like it as well. some people just get the divx player but you have to know what was used to encode the video as avi is only the container file and not the encoder.
most of my videos are DivX encoded...
so is it possible to install DivX codec on X1 and then play those files?
really sad but..i thot i can just drag n drop the movies on my mSD and watch
yeah using coreplayer or TCPMP
not sure if the codecs works with windows mobile media player though
but those 2 players does the job
Okay thanks a lot for the quick response guys.
i got hold of Coreplayer....just wanted to try.
it works..i just dragged n dropped some TV shows and movies ..and they work fine
i have yet to see such an awesome clarity on a mobile phone.
this is even better than bold because i can see the movies in widescreen and the contrast is superb
Hey.
Im kind of tired of converting from avi to MP4 just to watch a episode of a show or a movie on my TD2. Is there any program that can play AVI files?
I tried the program "TCPMP" but it didnt work.
coreplayer, but dont forget to convert the files for your screen resolution
loving my streak ive just come to put an avi file on it and it wont play ... from reports the streak will play any format ??
is this not true or do i need to download something for an avi file to play
You will need rock player to play avi's.
Hi mancuk29
No idea where you have seen it reported the Streak will play any video file as the built in player plays limited amount of formats Divx and Avi's not being in the list. But as zero.fx has already pointed out Rock Player is a great player that plays most formats and is free with ads or not that expensive for the no add version but make sure you get the v7 version that supports the Streak best. As long as the files are well encoded it should play virtually anything you throw at it in great quality.

see also vplayer, plays my avi just fine & is free from market (prob someone has uploaded apk on here somewhere)
& no, i don't have any association with vplayer developer in anyway!!
