BEST video encoder for X1 ~Support HW Decode~

I tried many H264 ACC encoder, such as jetaudio and Format Factory. But all of it didn't have a native resolution and basic profile setting for X1
If you have a high demand on video playback.
You could try the GOM encoder. it support the RMVB to H264 + ACC, and it can limit the basicline profile 1.3 and native resolution for X1 WVGA (800x480).
I encoded many video by GOM encoder, the quality is very COOL ~~~~ I am highly recommend of it
http://www.gomlab.com/eng/GMP_download.html
On beside, the GOM player still is beta version and the internet connection is require while running the encoder.
***The beta encoder it will encode a GOM encoder logo on the top right hand corner around 10sec ***
*** Please make sure tick the "limit basicline [email protected]" checkbox and force the output file resolution to 800x450 (16:9), otherwise the video playback on X1 will very unstable***

Dude use MEGUI. It's can encode just about anything and in any resolution. Been using it to convert my blurays to smaller files to stay on my computer for streaming.

you can try SUPER as well...

How did you manage to get yourself a full version of GOM encoder because I can't find a way to buy the software.

What is the video bitrate you guys are using? Also anyone converting to xvid instead of mp4? What is the best setting for xvid?

SPB DVD????

s.u.p.e.r is a very good programm.
but nvidia kaboom and tcmpg 4.0 xpress can transcode on geforce hardware (8xxx+9xxx+02x0).
on my gtx280 i can transcode with 250 fps (kaboom). really nice!

anyone care to write a tutor for the best encoding video for the x1? I've tried so many different programs and the video playback is sluggish. I use core video player btw

CorePlayer doesn't take advantage of the hardware acceleration atm so it won't play H.264 videos that well. The best I can get CorePlayer to play is about 1000kbps divx with any resolution. Obviously the video looks worse as you raise the resolution but keep the 1000kbps data rate.
I mainly use the video player in the SE multimedia panel, which does use the hardware acceleration and can play H.264 videos at 800x440 at 1000kbps very well and looks better than the equivalent divx.
As for programs... for encoding divx to avi for Coreplayer, I just use virtualdub. For encoding H.264 you can use a number of apps, but a free one that's ok and was mentioned on these forums is http://www.videora.com/en-us/Converter/iPod/
Basically just create a new profile for the X1 using 800x440 or whatever resolution you want, and set it to about 1024 kbps using H.264.

Thanks I will try what u suggested. I'm using cucusoft dvd converter btw
Edit: I tried with cucusoft converter, this is my profile. Video bitrate 725 kbits/s, H.264/AVC codec. Resolution 800x450. Audio codec acc 96kbits/s. I played with the default SE player, video kinda choppy and sluggish. I dont know what I'm doing wrong

Any updates on this?

i have made a full script for auto converting a full directory of videos:

Some news on the GOM Encoder
With the newest version, there is a option update on "limit basicline [email protected]" . Now you can set it to 1.3 or 3.0.
I've tried 3.0 and it is working fine.
I don't know what's the effect for changing to 3.0. I just assume new stuff and bigger number are better.

Honestly, has anyone figured out what the best settings for Video/Audio encoding are for SE player? Does it have hardware acceleration?

I havent, video still laggy as hell, i use both windows media player and SE media player panel.

Just tried Videora free converter yesterday and today, and works great at 320x240 MPEG (did first one at two passes but you get a 1gb file instead of 500Mb and it really looks the same on the phone screen). And really not laggy at all....I'm not going to say you don't get an occasional jaggy but not very many. Biggest problem is the 1hr+ encoding time per movie

total video converter is best
works grt on xperia
and very fast too

Best video converter, size and format for HD?

Can anyone help?
I need best video converter with subtitles included for divx-xvid movies. Also, what is the best resolution for HD? 800x400? So croping files must be suported to.
Thanks anyway!

This is great and has a custom profile setting for the HD.
http://pocketdvd.ca/products/dvd catalyst 3.html
Totally worth the $19.99 USD. I found using Windows Media Player to work perfectly with the file that DVDCatalyst generates with great sound and smooth playback. Subtitles can be selected and it has auto cropping. A++ in my opinion.

Thanks a lot! Ill try this and post my opinion!

Free and works for me!

The best is imho Total Video Converter 3,14 . It can do everything. And the best settings are 1000bitrate 128 audio bitrate , mp4 and hv264 and 800x480 resolution. Play it in Album.
djschumi ocketdivx encoder is pretty bad... it cant convert into mp4, so you must play it in coreplayer => no chance for WVGA resolution.
jetjockgordo: I will try that maybe. But the only thing my total video covnerter is missing is 2pass option.

I tried DVD Catalist - excelent converter with only one missing. Subtitles are supported only for DVD, not for DiVX/XViD (.sub .srt etc).
Thanks anyway!

I would suggest contacting their tech support. Mitch responds in a few hours and he might have a work around or another suggestion to get it to do what you want.

As you experienced with Total VC, other converters are hit-and-miss when it comes to usability/stability that is why I like DVDCatalyst, it has never crashed and works perfectly on my Vista 64 system.
Good luck!

I have the m900 and am trying to adjust the output dimensions in pocketDivXencoding. When I click resize it gives to windows with what I guess are aspect ratios. Bit its strange that there are 2 windows. I have tried to adjust 1 of them to 800X480 and I can get close but when I click apply it goes back to the previous screen stating the output will be something like 468X472.
Anyone have experience with PocketDivXEncoder

Have you seen [APP][REF]Video encoding GUI?

Hey,
HD Video converter is one of the best video converters that can very easily convert the video files into some of the most popular video formats. This is one of the best converters that can perform multiple works at one time. This converter can perform:
Part 1: Edit and Rip DVD Movies to popular video formats.
Part 2: Convert HD TS, MTS, M2TS, MKV, MPEG, MPG, H.264 video
Part 3: Convert Video with DRM Protection.
Thank You.

For me the best video converter there is Flash to Video PRO.

recommend you a hd video converter,leawo
and I usually to convert video to 1280x720, and choose mkv format.

Thanks i m also searching for this.

HTC Legend "Out of the box" video capabilities

Hello there, everyone.
I have been looking around for a new phone, reading and watching reviews, and the Legend its a definite possible winner. But I cannot find one basic thing I need: What video resolutions can play?
I know it plays MPEG4, H264, WMV (I guess WMV9) and 3gp. But regarding H264 and MPEG4, what resolutions and profiles can handle?
I need to know this, because I already have an extensive Bluray collection that I have converted to Apple's universal format (A handbrake profile that works on Ipod touch, among others), and they are all 720x400 (or 304), and some of them with dual audio.
If you need a sample to test, I can give you a link trough PM. (I cannot post it here yet)
I also have an Ipaq 214 with WM6.0, and coreplayer plays those movies just fine, with 100% zoom (=no scaling) and deblocking filter disabled. But Im a noob in Android and, for I have been gathering, there's no general specs on this.
Thank you all in advance.

i tried to play a bluray movei on the legend after using the same application ( handbrake ) i converted it to 640 * 320 and it was just amazing ... no lag at all .. i didn't try something elese still

anybody know the max. resloution the legend could handle ?

Best Video output to use on the Transformer

Hello all I just got my E Pad and looking to load some movies onto it.
Can anyone tell me the best format to use for quality. I have an 8Gig Micro to use for videos. I also use DVDFab for converting.
Thanks
Diverwes

I'm wondering this as well. I've seen a few threads on here regarding 720p settings, but how about non-hidef? What would people recommend using? I copied some movies over to my TF when I first got it and the playback was horrible, regardless of what player I used.

Anything works for non-HD, just make sure you play it with something like Mobo Player, the default player doesn't support that many formats, nor does it play it as smoothly. In terms of HD, just look at the handbrake preset or install Mediainfo to check what profile your h264 video is at (Baseline, Main, High), it usually is Main/High. If it is 720p High, you may try playing it, but anything with more than 3 reference frames will lag.

something weard is i converted some movies they play but only at 2x they fly through.

I had this issue too. The file was an MP4 H.264 encoded file but the audio codec was not in stereo.
I re-encoded the movie using AVS Video Converter with these settings:
Frame Size: 1280x 720 (depending on movie format)
Video Codec: H.264/AVC
Frame rate: 24fps or match source video
Bitrate: 1500KBs video
Video Advanced: Multi-pass (first pass fast)
Audio Codec: MPEG-2/4 Audio 192KBS Stereo not 5.1
File type: MP4 PSP
With these settings, high def videos play awesome on my Transformer both on stock player and Rock Player with hardware decoding setting.

Lagfree playback of .MOV files

Sorry to start another one of these threads but after hours of searches on xda and google I want to know what my best route is for playback of .MOV files.
I have a Contour HD helmet cam that captures video 720P 60fps. It's only format choice is .MOV. On the a500 I have tried all the major video players and codec packs but what I get is super slow playback or no video playback. What I have been doing is transcoding the files using the Handbreak 720 baseline preset and that works pretty well 80% of the time. Sometimes the files are unplayable (not sure why).
My goal is to be able to take the card out of the cam and put it into the a500 and review my files without transcoding. If this isn't possible I will just continue to use my netbook for reviewing the files while I am away from home. Ideas? Thanks

According to this,
http://helmetcameracentral.com/2009/04/27/vholdr-contourhd-the-worlds-first-hd-wearable-camcorder/
the ContourHD does either 720p @29.97, or 480p @59.94. Video uses Main profile. The sample 720p clip uses a 5.6Mb/s bitrate, the 480p uses 3.3Mb/s. Both use 64Kbs mono AAC. All are within the stock player's capability.
No need to transcode, just a remux to MP4 container. Try the below,
"Use MPEG Streamclip (http://www.squared5.com/) - Open MOV file and Save as - change file type to MP4."

Thanks for the response. I will try the link you provided and a simple renaming of the file to .MP4 also. It's funny because the first time I tried to play a file on the a500 from the Contour I swear it played flawlessly but now they all play in super slow motion.
Update:
Ok, that worked and was pretty fast on my work desktop (older dual core). I am still hoping for a non converting/re-coding solution that I can use in the field. I was hoping to review videos while camping using the a500.
