Video Encoders

So right now I am using Super Video encoder to encode my movies so I can watch them on my wing. I use TCPMP to watch the movies on my phone. The only problem I am having is the video looks sub par. Its all pixelated and doesn't look crisp like the original copy. So does anyone use Super to encode their videos and know the best settings or know of a better program to use?

Yeah I use SUPER © video encoder. Its freeware and its real easy to use. Just search for it in google and you'll definatly find it. These are the settings your going to want to use for TMO-WING:
-Output Container = 3gp (sony ericsson)
-Output Video Codec = Mpeg-4
-Output Audio Codec = AAC
Video Settings:
-Video scale size = 320:240
-Aspect = 4:3
-Frame/sec = 12.5
-Bitrate kbps = 576
-Options check boxes "High Quality" & "3gp v4/v5"
Audio Settings:
-Sampling frequency = 44100
-Channels = 2
-Bitrate kbps = 24
-DVD Language = default
Then drag and drop the files in the empty box below, click on "Encode files" and there you have it.
*If you dont see the button to start encoding the files then you'll have to adjust your display properties to a higher screen resolution.
Hope this helps and if you have any more questions... holla holla holla holla holla holla...haha Late.

I tried this and I get unknown format. What are you using to play the videos? I guess I will have to mess around with the settings some more.

Im using Windows Media.

Nothing of this value change speed of video

I experience a constant lag (every 5 minutes) when listening to MP3, do you think change the settings of buffering can help?

Those settigns worked perfectly for my Diamond 2! First time a full .avi worked smoothly! thanks!

I've had this when the built in equaliser is enabled. I solved it by not using the built in equaliser but instead using Audio Booster.

I have no improvements with those settings :S Its the same but it isn't bad.
But if i see the benchmark the video is much smoother than playing it.
Edit: maybe a bit faster after opening a new video

Do you know the REG setting for this so that i dont have to set this over and over again when I flash a new rom?

No REG, settings is located in the config.xml in the Application Data folder...
//Nik

no difference
Hi, I see no difference or at least no discernable one, however I am using stock latest rom, i reencode all video and use wmp as hardware encoding is enabled through wmp api.The way you can play a decent quality with a decent bit rate 500 and above whereas coreplayer will struggle to play anything smoothly above 150.
An example. download any recent 350 lost episode and load and play it in coreplayer, this will be around 620x352 at a bitrate of 60-120 depending on the download. It will play and not too badly but will skip and freeze now and again. Reenode it using Mp4ForHD v2.6 using a higher bit rate and 800x640 res (phone standard res) and it will play perfectly in WMP even though you are using a higher res and bitrate as the hardware encoding is ised. There is no real need for coreplayer as long as you can be bothered re-enocding, if you cannot then you will have to put up skipping video.
coreplayer is greate for music and low res video as it has a lot of codec support however, A good purchase with this in mind.

WOW!!! It works on my Raphael..

Thank You Very Much

For touch HD, just tick "Disable AVC Deblocking" at advanced tab, "soft drop tolerance" to 0.3 sec, and let other settings defaults. Enjoy your hardware-like video player.
P.S: Other settings must be default. I tried with the settings at the first post, just got worse.
512kb of video buffer is pretty enough, and I couldnt understand why no audio buffer and higher video buffer, since I have got even better results wih 256kb video buffer and 64 audio buffer.
Regards.

Thank You so much for this. This setting is perfect! I played with coreplayer settings so many times but this one is by far the best!
Ok I have just found out that if I set the soft drop tolerance to 0.600 I get smoother playback than 0.300

default settings
Hi, can someone post the default buffer settings, I have mucked about so much with them I have forgotten what they are. Note however that the soft drop change seems to be produce the best overall results in that you get the longest amout of smooth play in between frame drops and minor freezes. This is going to be different though depending on what we are playing. I wonder when discussing issues like this we should all agree on a movie or TV episode we can all download and then we are all reading from the same book. It should also be noted we are all probably using different roms which also adds another layer of complexity to it. I am currently using GRIDEVO 1.7B based on 28011 os, those that claim to have smooth playback, what rom are you on and what are you watching, ie whats the bit rate, size of file, codec used and image size.

Coreplayer Configuration

Since changing my Rom and upgrading to coreplayer 1.3.6 the video quality has degraded so that now even media player is better.
When watching a video, sometimes the video freezes, but the audio carries on. I usually change from fullscreen to normal mode and back to full screen and the video carries on as normal
I used to be able to read the text in a video, its now degraded and barely legible. I checked the video in media player and it looks better.
I was going to post this query in the coreplayer forums, but I noticed how many of the treads actually had replies.
I've tried googling for configuration settings, but all I found was HD2 config settings, some of those settings arent listed in my configuration.
Does anyone have any suggestions on how to improve the quality of coreplayer video?

What was your coreplayer settings before you changed rom? If your settings worked before you changed rom then just set it to what it was before.
Anyways, my coreplayer settings are;
set everything to default then in tools-settings-advanced
tick disable avc deblocking filter
set soft drop tolerance to 1.000
set hard drop tolerance to 1.100
these configurations work best for me
I hope it solves your problem

Thanks for your reply.
My settings were probably default before I had to flash a new rom, it seemed to work fine, so I didnt muck around with them.
Just to confirm I have Coreplayer 1.3.6 build 7427.
I have Tools => Settings => Select Page where I can select VIDEO, BUFFER, etc. I dont have an advanced option.
I couldnt find any of the options you mentioned either.
Is there a way to reset the settings to default? I cant find any options.

The only way i know to set everything back to default is to install it again.
tools-settings-select page-advanced. you have to press select page then go to the advanced page
I have the same version coreplayer as you

Lol, you're right. Sorry.
I didnt realise that I was able to scroll that screen up.
I did some more searching and managed to find this link:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/archive/index.php/t-481714.html
It had the following setting suggestions:

BUFFERING:
Normal buffer size = 992 KB
Preload at underrun = 70.0 %
Preload for audio = 0 KB
Microdrive mode = checked
Microdriver buffer size = 16000 KB
Microdriver starts at 1472 KB
VIDEO:
Video output = QTv Display
Video quality = High
Smooth Zoom = On
Dither = Uncheck
ADVANCE:
Slow video memory = Check
I entered the above settings (except the ADVANCE).
On Testing I found that coreplayer played fullscreen video for 10 mins without a problem.
I havent tested the clarity yet (ie being able to read text), but will do so this evening
Thanks for your help.

If you read further down that thread, you can see that I also participated in that discussion. I believe it was barisahmet that suggested playing with some of the advanced settings. I have since stuck with the current settings that I mentioned above because it works best for me.
Glad to be of help!

I found coreplayer was still having problems. My audio wasnt syncing with video.
Despite mucking about with the settings some more, things didnt improve.
I tried uninstalling and reinstalling to wipe the settings, but that didnt help.
I eventually found the settings were stored in Application Data\Coreplayer\Config.xml.
After renaming the file, things went back to default.
EDIT: Just thought I would add that this is also where coreplayer keeps the serial number. Really secure
If you're comfortable editting xml files a better option would be to delete everything between the <CONFIG></CONFIG> tags.
