I've been trying to find a mobile video player that either enchances Windows Media Player Mobile or thorugh its own player.
Looking for something that can play different formats but mainly divix, .mkv and .avi files.
Any help is appreciated.
TIA
Derrick
Coreplayer!, supports Qtv acceleration. HTC Album also is good player, support Qtv and easy of use. TCPMP is slow for high bitrate or high resolution videos, not support Qvt aceleration but support external subtitles.
Sorry for my english
Ditto on Coreplayer. Do consider switching to h.264 .mp4 formats for SUPERIOR performance.

Hi Folks,
I haven't bought the shift yet but I'm certainly leaning heavily in that direction.
Can you please tell me about your experiences playing Divx video using the shift? I'm hearing mixed messages about the video capabilities of the machine some are saying it's no good for this some are saying it's fine which is it?
Please note I'm not talking about utube or wmv I'm talking divx avi files I would like to use this as a media player.
Cheers, Chris
I have the K-lite codec pack installed including Media Player Clasic (K-Lite Mega Codec Pack).
The Divx I used played verry shoothly, I do not exactly know how this file was encoded. It was just an episode of a TV series that I missed and downloaded to watch on the train. (350Mb for 50 minutes...)

it does play divx well. Never had problems. The real question, can it play mkv files? I'm trying that in windows xp (no chance in vista i suppose) and i get some huge lags between sound and image.

Did you try VLC?

Better use vlc: excellent performance, and no codec pack that can wreak havoc on your system
i've used gome player and media player classic, both configured to use "above average" process priority but no fun. gome has it's own internal codec system, only added matroska mkv codec.
I'll check what VLC has to offer.
I run VLC on my Shift and the only degradation I have seen on it is in full screen mode on the 1024x600 resolution. Definitely recommend VLC on the Shift.
I have a better experience with this:
Use Media Player Classic Home Cinema from here.
It has in the options the "EVR" Video Output which has a better image quality and lower CPU usage under Vista. And the GUI is better than VLC's ^^
And for the codecs I use the ffdshow tryouts.
I recommend clsid's latest Intel Compiler 10 builds, because they have a little performance improvement when using some post-processing filters.
When I convert my vids to mp4 with MP4forHD and play it on Core Player. The framerate is too low to watch the vid. But when I play it on WMP it runs fine. So I was wondering if my settings on Core Player is wrong or Core Player doesn't work that well on Touch HD.
Also will Core player work better when I put a other ROM on the touch HD, I am still using the HTC ROM.
Ow BTW, I am converting the vids with these settings.
Video Codec: x264 2 pass
Quality: Normal
usely (800x480)
Audio Bitrate: 96 kbps
wmp
As it's said all over the forum only Windows Media Player and HTC Album use some kind of hardware acceleration that CorePlayer doesn´t use in current version. I also heard some people telling that he actually made it worked but from my experience WMP o HTC Album are just fine.
Hope it helps.
Hey everyone.
Wanted to find out if Coreplayer is worth buying for the HD2? Currently just installed myplayer app and forced to switch the player to WM player but wondering if the quality of streaming or video playback is better in coreplayer?
I'm not too fussed right now about codecs and functionality although no doubt I will be in a few weeks when i dont have a codec for a video but I'm wondering if there are any improvements in purely video quality only in coreplayer compared to WM player?
Thanks

hey dude...i have both installed and i have few dvd that i have ripped onto my phone by using spb mobile dvd. I have viewed videos through both players...and they both works fine and could not tell any difference, however what i have noticed is the buttons on coreplayer are more responsive, for instance you could fast forward a track or video easily rather than the WM player
i hope that helps
The main advantage i have found with coreplayer is watching internet TV streams. These seem to sun much smoother.
for the best performance/video quality its best to recode video to MP4 and use the htc album player to watch the movie/documentary about maggie thatcher (or whatever source you have)
The main disadvantage of the CorePlayer is a lack of AC3 sound codec compatibility.
When you open a movie with sound in AC3 - it just won't play.

And WMP plays AC3 fine?
To me Coreplayer seems to be way faster, plus it plays most videos without converting.. wmp does not play any of my avis..
I know that the tab is divx certified but, i would like to know if it is possible to play divx in the browser? On sites like stagevu, loombo and vidxden.
Thanks in advance.

No,
i am not able to play divx videos from web.... its showing the plugin symbol
That all said, my Tab is loving XviD dvd rips
I mainly want the Tab for Xvid DVD rips. Do you know if the Tab plays avi's that our encoded with an AC3 soundtrack rather than MP3. a lot of dvd rips have Ac3 rather than MP3 and I heard that the galaxy cannot support multichannel soundtracks.
It has played all files I have tried until now. avis' in a lot of formats, divx. h.264 all new series. It even does mkv files in 720p with no problems or lag at all
ac3 is supported. But the stock player has decoding problems. Try vPlayer alpha - its the best atm.
so with vplayer alpha does it play 720p mkv files with AC3 (a52 codec) soundtrack, dont want to convert everything to AAC 2 channel or MP3.
Any word on firmware upgrades to fix stock video player???
None yet... but youre right, the stock player is very good otherwise! I love the browser and media library. And of course the ar control.
so can someone confirm does it play perfectly with another video player instead of the stock one.
As I said really interested in playback of 720p mkv with AC3 (5.1 sound)
Gonna try it when they are for sale next week, take my sd card and see if it works
Yep works fine in vplayer. But remember, no files larger than 4gb on internal storage.
Also, the 1080p playback advertised for the galaxy tab refers to divx and xvid I believe, so high profile move are square in third party player laps. Lets hope they make fixes too!
Anyone manages to play most 480p/576p.H264.mp4 files in blackstone via windows media player? in what rom and how to? Thanks...(I have great trouble playing mp4 files. The wmp which exclusively supports H264 acceleration always gets nothing but sound, coreplayer simply cannot play the aka files, and TCPMP skips too many frames.)
Or can an adroid system solve this problem? I've tried a lot, none of them is able to play video files.
I have the same problem, too. I cannot watch videos any player skips so many frames what resolution, player and video format should i use to watch videos ??
Use Touch HD encoder guyz. Nothing is better than it for our HD. 800*480 resolution, h264 mp4 format and no frame skipping problem-or other-.
