I have recorded something (video in mp4) with my XDAII and then copy this file to my PC, then I tried to play it with QuickTime and I could only see but not hear...
Can somebody please help me to solve this problem?
change the Capture format to: Motion-JPEG AVI, it's standard set to mpeg4. This will play in mediaplayer.
Where?: Tap lon the cam button -> Tap Tool Icon -> Tap Under Left the Tools Button -> select Options -> Select Capture format: Motion-JPEG AVI -> press OK -> Done!!
Try this out.... it worked for me like a dream

Hi,
How is it possible to convert with a good quality a MP4 file to AVI or MPEG1. I have try with Quicktime Pro but the video quality of the final AVI file is verry poor.
I would like to use my movies files with "Movie maker" or "Adobe premiere" but both of them can't read MP4.
Any idea?
MP4 to AVI etc

Works fine for me homes!

patrick, mpegable.com no longer supports this - HELP
I went to mpegable.com to the link you specified and registered. a couple days later I go an email from them saying they no longer offer those downloads. Please advise, thanks.
I've always used Media Player Classic that's bundled with K-lite Mega Codec Pack, or you can also use VLC Media Player, these two players are the best multi format player so far. As for encoding videos, you can always try the free SUPER video encoder which is the best open source media converter http://www.erightsoft.com/SUPER.html
i was thinking of a getting a shift as i am desperate to be able to play p2p streams via my hsdpa connection , so i can watch LIVE football on my AMEO from sopcast and other p2p streaming tv progs.
This morning I finally CRACKED it! and am now watching
Full screen SOPCAST TV on my AMEO
This means I can watch literally EVERY FOOTBALL match ANYWHERE on my AMEO for FREE!
this may be old news but im amazed.
if you want to know how i will post details
watching football for a bit to get it work is cooooooool...
tell me more!!!!!
dont beat around the bush c'mon hit us with the details!
okay heres how its done
First u must have an unlimited HSDPA account or you are gonna spend loads of dosh
progs needed for full control fom anywhere
Logmein - free version (pc remote control app)
VLC player (pc app)
Sopcast 1.1.2 (pc App)
TCPMP 0.81 (its the only version that plays video great for me, u may prefer other versions)
obviously you need BB connection on your home pc
1. install logmein and create an account you can then log into your pc remotely (change resolution to 640X480)
and you can see the whole of your screen on your athena/ameo.htc7500 etc
install all of the above apps
2.In your Ameo make sure that TCPMP is your choice for all video types i.e. wmv playback etc so it auto runs any video
3. open media player , select open URL and under network options select wifi/Lan (1.0mbps or faster) and tick detect connection speed and then close
4. start sopcast on your pc and get a channel going in the standalone player not the web based player
5.start VLC
6. once the channel has started right click on the player screen and select properties
7. highlight and copy the location http://xxxxxxxxxx etc
8. click File- open network stream on vlc player
9.select HTTP/HHTPS/FTP/MMS and paste the location into the URL box
10. the stream should now start to play in vlc (prob quicker than sopcast!)
11.click file again on VLC and select WIZARD
12. make sure stream to network is slected and click next
13.select Existing play item and highlight the location name in the box and click next
14.Select HTTP and leave the box below blank press next
15.Leave on ASF and click next
16. type 1 or 2 or leave blank it may or may not matter
17.now click finish
VLC player should shrink and in the bottom box it should have a timer that doesnt move and say transcoding
click view and check messages if its BLANK your in business.
Now open up internet explorer in your ameo
and type
mms://your pc's ip address:8080 press go
TCPMP player should automatically start and start playing the stream.
If you are in portrait mode when you hear some sound press the button to change to landscape and TCPMP should be playing back whatever you Channel you selected.
VOILA!
Logmein like all remote software allows you to set this all up from your PC remotely
have fun FOOTY HERE I COME!!
Can anyone confirm that this works?
Also, is it better/worse than a Slinbox type config, aside from the advantage of not requiring a separate cable/tv box?

If it didnt work i wouldnt post it
An easier way to do this is (taken from the Orb website not my work and it works great is)
I managed to get SopCast and pplive streaming on my cell through Orb. It's probably similar with the other p2p streaming softwares.
'Here's how to do it:
1. Open SopCast on a channel.
2. Add the Custom Channel in Orb. For that, go the the TV application, select the Internet TV/favorite channels menu, and click the Add Custom action next to the play button. Enter SopCast for the name and http://127.0.0.1:8902/tv.asf for the URL (this URL may be different for you if you changed the default ports options in SopCast)
3. You can now stream this channel via Orb from the Internet TV menu.
With pplive, the URL to add depends on the channel you select, to find it, click on the "open in external Windows Media Player icon" once the channel play, and look at the URL of the playing item, it will look like http://127.0.0.1:8888 '
it does pause now and then but you can get a good long watch much of the time depending on the channel
this is down to the way TCPMP player handles streams more than the ORB software

should be the same, i have hsdpa and havent tried wifi so i cant say for sure , but why not?
might be to do with IP addresses, if u are at using wifi maybe your ip address is different
Question for spacecat, or anyone else who can help:
I have an ameo too, and have tried the two ways that you have mentioned of viewing sopcast i.e. through VLC and ORB. Have found the following:
1) via ORB: Managed to get the stream to the ameo displayed via TCPMP but the video was very choppy and frankly unwatchable (any particular settings I should be aware of?)
2) via VLC: Keep getting the error mms: protocol not supported (do I need a particular plugin for TCPMP?)
Which option gives better quality of steam?
Thanks in advance

you need the WM5 WMV9 codecs the WM6 codecs you currently have do not work properly !
basically unzip the attached files and bung em in your windows folder !
oh and if your stationary you can get away with your ORB server uploading at 320K or 400k max but 400 might have issues, if you are on the move (train for example) 160K is about your limit but experiment, and be mindful of your home broadbands max up speed, im on virgin 20Mb (down) so my max upload speed is 768K
Hi,
I am looking for a program (eg media streamer) which can stream Internet TV from my PC to my Galaxy S2.
Previously I had an iPhone and I could stream my online television with TVersity, unfortunately this program is not suitable for android.
Orb can stream television to android but only with a built-in TV card and not online streams.
Who know of a program that can stream online television streams to android ??
cor
Not sure i got the meaning. Orb and TV card is not for WebTV . ONLINE TV can be streamed by VLC or WinAmp to your local network. Hpe this helps

iMediaShare
Can also stream to ps3

Check out PlayOn. It sounds like it does the same thing and they have an Android client. You can use it with VLC to share any photos, videos, or music you have stored on your PC. I use it to stream TiVo and MKV files while I'm on the road. It even works over 3/4G.
http://www.playon.tv
They also have a DVR function in beta which is really cool.
http://www.playon.tv/playlater/
P.S. - It's not free
If you just want to stream video files I suggest es file explorer.
I can stream xvid and other without any problem over the samba protocol. (Local network file sharing.)
No need for any other server, at least on windows.
I only want to stream online television from my PC to my Galaxy S2, so I can watch it when I am away from home through 3G.
I m doing it long time , since I had WM...
I m using VLC running on PC, I have also
DVB-T USB and I can watch real TV by streaming it to Phone.
You also can steam any file or other Internet TV from
PC to Phone (WiFi or 3G)
To do it:
1. Open VLC, select Media > Streaming > add files (or network for internet TV, or Capture device like DVB-T)
2. press steam icon
3. Next Icon
4. Destination HTTP > ADD
5. define port and path like /my-tv (or leave it / )
6. Activate Transcoding (to reduce bit rate)for example H.264+aac select the blue icon and MP4/mov ,
Video Codec h264, bitrate 256K, frame rate 15,
scale 0.5 , audio codec reduce to 64 k. (you can use other bitrate, for video and audio and scale - more quality more bitrate or opposite), if audio is not working try "keep original audio track"
7. save
8. next (copy the long line u got so u can use it later, i'll explain how)
9. press stream
10. with Vplayer (android app), open URL like:
http://your.ip.address : port/my-tv
(without spaces)
ENJOY !
You can use playlist with many files, and also command line to run the line you copy before.
also you can define remote on vlc and use android-vlc-remote apk to change file playing from your PC to phone,
PLEASE NOTE that this Remote option is not secure and everyone can log into your PC ....
Objective:A consolidated post listing multiple ways to stream videos from desktop to SGT 10.1. Contains answers to 4 questions
1) Best DLNA App?
2) Best Video Player that can play files over the network or one AllShare or DLNA app can use?
3) How to encode files to view them over SGT?
4) DLNA Server serving video files from desktop
Solution1 (cnewsgrp)
3) This thread says that SGT with 3.1 can play high profile natively. The encoding instructions are great
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1060825
4) I use Tversity and it works well. Any other suggestions are welcome.
Solution2: paua__
1) :get UPnPlay, which you use to browse the videos you want to stream
2) paua__ : DICE Player is (AFAIK) the only mediaplayer which utilizes Hardware Acceleration to process those heavy HD files. It eats .mkv for breakfast.
Solution3: oreo
1) 2) 4) VLC Direct.
it streams everything from your PC via VLC's built in web interface, and you can browse through all your files in your computer all with just 1 app. As an added bonus, it can REVERSE stream FROM my TAB to the PC (which is hooked up to my HDTV), I find this very useful when I want to show something quick on my big screen to my guests (like photos and vidoes that i JUST took). and you can fine tune the stream quality with settings in the app. oh and there's also virtually no limit on the number of formats/codecs it can handle, if your VLC player on the PC can play it, everything can be streamed to the Tab.

Still tweaking this setup, but it works well for the SGT, Xoom, HTC phones (and the i*'s also)
* Windows Media Center 7 Host
* 2 WD TB hard drives
* Ceton InfiniTv 4 channel digital cable card tuner
* Verizon FIOS (all shows set to copy freely!)
* Remote Potato (Provides Windows Media Center Interface on Mobile and Desktops)
* MCBUDDY (Beta 18) - Transcodes recorded shows to smaller file, more mobile friendly format
* ES File Explorer - Can browse the Media Center hard disk wireless, and launch recorded TV, Movies and home videos in the player of choice. Also can use to copy a video to the device for offline watching

My goal is the opposite of cluttering XDA with another video thread. I will take time to compose good information in my first post. for that to succeed you experts must provide me good usable information in replies .
Solution4: BarryH_GEG: Plex
1) DLNA App: Plex for Android, AllShare
3) How to encode files to view them over SGT?DVDFab, CoreAVC
4) DLNA Server: Plex Media Server
First off, get UPnPlay, which you use to browse the videos you want to stream.
Then BUY the DICE Player, which then will play the file tou select with UPnPlay.
DICE Player is (AFAIK) the only mediaplayer which utilizes Hardware Acceleration to process those heavy HD files. It eats .mkv for breakfast.
I assume you have already activated file sharing on your computer for your media files?

Thanks. Comments added to first post. I will test this in about a week after I get my SGT.
After using tversity, now I use ps3 media server to share everything on my xbox360 ( for watching movies on the TV ) and on my GT10.1. You don't need to build a library and it can handle mkv ( It was not possible with Tversity in the past, I don't know now. ?)
I use an alternate method, VLC Direct. it streams everything from your PC via VLC's built in web interface, and you can browse through all your files in your computer all with just 1 app. As an added bonus, it can REVERSE stream FROM my TAB to the PC (which is hooked up to my HDTV), I find this very useful when I want to show something quick on my big screen to my guests (like photos and vidoes that i JUST took). and you can fine tune the stream quality with settings in the app. oh and there's also virtually no limit on the number of formats/codecs it can handle, if your VLC player on the PC can play it, everything can be streamed to the Tab.

Before Google acquired SageTV I was looking at using it as the media center component, but for now it seems to be lost in acquisition limbo. The advantage it had was it didn't record in Microsoft's WMV format, it maintained the native MPEG2 encoding used by FIOS. Transcoding was much easier, and mostly unnecessary.
I use qloud media. If you beef up the bandwidth settings, it gives you good viewing experience. You have to run a separate server app on your desktop. Also both the client and the srvr versions are under constant development. I used to use air video on my ipod touch, and always felt tailored app just for the device always gives the perfect experience.
After quite a bit of tinkering, I have been able to play movies from a shared DVD drive on my Windows PC on my Fire TV with XBMC. This may save someone else a little time. Basic skills in setting up XBMC are required for this.
Note that while a DVD menu starts up quickly for me. It can take over 30 seconds (but less than 60 seconds) for the actual playback to start... so just wait for it. My Fire TV is on a wired network... I don't know how well this would work on a wireless network.
Basic steps are:
1) Share your DVD drive on your windows computer... call it something like "DVD". Make it public if you don't want to enter username/password.
2) Put a DVD Movie in the drive.
3) In Videos/Files add an item by browsing to the SMB share for the DVD drive.
4) In Settings/Video/DVD select Attempt to skip intro before DVD menu.
You can now play the DVD by hitting the play/pause button either on the DVD share or the video_ts folder. You can make this work better by
5) In Settings/Video/File List select Combine Split Video Items
This allows you to just use the center select button on the video_ts folder to play it rather than hitting the play/pause button.
6) You can also setup a favorite to the video_ts folder on the shared DVD drive so you can just select the favorite. Rename the favorite something like DVD.
7) If you are using elmerohueso's Confluence++ skin you can even add this favorite to a shortcut under the Videos menu so you can play the DVD from the main menu screen.
I also added an entry to the keyboard.xml file to be able to easily exit from the DVD menu back to XBMC:
<VideoMenu>
<keyboard>
<menu>Stop</menu>
<backspace>Stop</backspace>
</keyboard>
</VideoMenu>
**** If you cannot get playback to start, its probably a sharing problem on your PC. If you are not using username/password make sure you allow no passwords for public sharing profile ****
I am using SPMC http://spmc.semperpax.com/ as my Fire TV Launcher with elmerohueso's confluence++ skin http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2790392 . I also use Alternate Keymap 3 http://wiki.xbmc.org/index.php?title=Alternative_keymaps_for_Fire_TV_remote#Keymap_3 for Fire TV http with the VideoMenu addition above.

Awesome guide! I plan on doing mine wireless, which should prove interesting and fun!
I will be doing some tinkering tonight, but there are a few ways I am planning to do this:
1) UPnP/DLNA (using a server, most likely Windows Media Player 12, and using MediaHouse or AirStream)
2) HTTP (apparently you can convert using MakeMKV one the fly and send stream via HTTP, and you can recieve by using an addon included in XMBC for MakeMKV)
3) Stream via ES File Explorer, or Solid Explorer, and somehow find a video player that will play Video_TS.
4) Something that I haven't thought of (which usually always happens)
After some fiddling around, I FINALLY got XBMC to receive video from my laptop, specifically from a DVD. I created a share path on the DVD, and added a Windows SMB, and I was successfully able to path to my DVD Drive. I specifically named the path E://DVD Drive and setup Windows SMB on the XBMC side to direct to the path.
However, there are a few things still I am trying to figure out.
1) View the disc in my drive as a DVD, rather then manually going into Video_TS and clicking on a file.
2) Figure out how to map the XBMC Remote for external applications
Those two are my big on to figure out list right now.

For number 1 you need look at my first post...step 5. It will automatically play video_ts directory.

Related DVD Folder question...
Thanks a lot for the detailed description!
I currently own a WD TV box and have most of my DVDs transferred to a HDD. The WD TV is able to play the Video_TS folders directly from the USB-attached HDD, which I think is great.
Now I thought about upgrading to a Fire TV but I couldn't find any information if that box is able to do the same and not just play each VOB file individually - like my not so smart LG-TV...
Would be great if you could let me know.
Thanks a lot in advance!
Wifi no go
While I was able to play some small clips over wifi, there was a lot of freezing, buffering, and artifacts. Trying to play the movie, it just freezes at the title screen and never does start playing. I've never had much trouble sharing a DVD drive between PC's, so this is rather disappointing.
