Video Ringtones?

Does the O2 Mini S play video ringtones? If so what format should the video be in?

i don't think it would be possible for the phone to load a video fast enough when someone calls

this question came up before, the final answer was to create animated gif files, but I was hoping with wm5 and the demo of that halo theme way back that we would have this already....

any solution to TCMP?

I just wanna watch avi... no streamingh or anything. At first I got green screen with sound... added a couple files i found to windows reg and now i get frezzing pictures that are completely unwatchable. Just wanna keep some cartoons on there for the kiddos!!

works fine for me? i watched the new Dr Who ep on my way to work the other morning!

have you played with the video driver settings? that sorted me out

[TUT]PLayback by using WMP on Touch HD

Lots of people still confused and still looking for a solution, I believe.
In the next 5 mins tutorial, you will squeeze the best out of a good old WMP by doing the following;
Code:
WIth this method, you will get much better quality MP4 video compare to FLV video which you need to open with CorePlayer.
1. First, Install the SD TuneUp.
Code:

2. Use "AimerSoft Video Converter"
Code:
http://www.aimersoft.com/video-converter.html
Why?
Some says "Super Converter" is the best bcuz of its performance and its free but here come the new champion, AimerSoft Video Converter.
Let me explain..
Code:
With WMP u need to convert the file in H.264 for the best result.
So, "Super" can do that with 80-90% output quality after converted.
"AimerSoft" will do it with 97-100% output quality after converted.
In conclusion, if u convert 720p, 30 mins length video by "Super" u will more likely to see frame dropping in every 10 min.
With "AimerSoft", u may see it once in a whole clip or not at all.
3. Fire up "AimerSoft" then add your video clip.
4. At "Profile" drop down menu choose "MPEG-4 Movie (*.mp4)"
5. Click "Setting" at the right hand side and adjust as the following;
Code:
Resolution: 800*480 (You can type it in if u cant find it)
Frame Rate: 23.97 FPS
Encoder: H.264
Bit Rate: 1500 kbps (Trust me, WMP can handle this bit rate)
**Bit Rate Tip**:
Bit rate is the the most tricky part of converting process so u have to b careful on how u choose a proper bit rate.
Here's how u do it;
If the video has a native resolution [COLOR="Red"]lesser[/COLOR] than 800*480 u can go for [COLOR="Red"]1500 kbps[/COLOR].
If the video has a native resolution [COLOR="Red"]greater[/COLOR] than 800*480 u must choose [COLOR="Red"]900 kbps[/COLOR].
Audio: 44100 Hz 2 Channels Stereo
Encoder: AAC
Bit Rate 128 kbps
6. Click "save As", name "WMP for Touch HD" for next use. (You can name the profile as anything u like)
7. Choose your video output folder.
8. Click start and chill out. ^^
The Pros:
- You dont have to pay for CorePlayer.
- You get much much sharper quality video and very minimum frame dropping. (Download the sample files I provide below and judge for yourself)
- Less hassle and user friendly.
- With "AimerSoft", when u set resolution to 800*480, the bigger resolution will be re-sized, the smaller resolution video will remain as the original but "AimerSoft" will automatically put a frame around the clip so the video will maintain 16:9 aspect ratio.
The Cons:
- You got to pay for "AimerSoft" instead. lolz (About the same price)
=============================================================
This is the sample video converted by AimerSoft useing the exact setting as I describe above.
Code:

Note: You may put this clip into your SD Card and play with WMP straight away.
Another sample video shot from Touch Diamond showing 3 clips with WMP.
Code:

Note: This file is for playing with VLC Media Player on PC only and you will have no sound. Sorry about that >_<
=============================================================
NOTE: I am not a "AimerSoft" representative by any mean.
I am not paid by "AimorSoft" to convince you to buy their product in any way.
I am just a sick and bored man who want to relax by watching a good quality video clips on the phone when im at workP) or traveling and wanted to share the information to people who looking for the solution.
Thank you everybody who help and contribute to this forum especially "tnyynt".
Please give credit to me if you want to spread out this tutorial anywhere else.
Thank You and Enjoy watching!

You can view the original post by "tnyynt" here.
Here you go. I made another sample video just to prove my concept.
In this video I use the 77Mb file size, 720p trailer of "The Day The Earth Stood Still" downloaded directly from Apple Trailer with 1280*554 native resolution with top and bottom black boarder.
Code:
http://rapidshare.com/files/169445296/earthstoodstill_720p_1500kbps.mp4
Details: Converted by [COLOR="Red"]AimerSoft[/COLOR], [COLOR="Red"]800*480[/COLOR] resolution, [COLOR="Red"]1500 kbps[/COLOR], 23.976 fps, H.264 in MP4 format.
You may put this video on to your SD card and play with WMP straight away.
Note: As u can see there is a lag at the beginning and a little towards the end of the movie which i believe its cause by video buffering and data transfer rate of SD Card.
==========================================
http://rapidshare.com/files/169449637/earthstoodstill_720p_900kbps.mp4
This is the same video but converted with [COLOR="Red"]900 kbps[/COLOR] to reduce lag which indeed improve about 10%.
And with the same file but converted in FLV format and need to play with CorePlayer.
Code:
http://rapidshare.com/files/169445836/earthstoodstill-tlre_720p.mov.FLV
Details: Converted by [COLOR="Red"]SuperConverter[/COLOR], [COLOR="Red"]560*304[/COLOR] resolution, [COLOR="Red"]1200 kbps[/COLOR], 23.976 fps (best setting for CorePlayer as suggested by "tnyynt")
Note: I have to admit that the frame rate is very smooth but really lack in details and sharpness of the video.
Conclusion:
With MP4 format by AimerSoft I have a crisp sharp video but a little suffer from frame dropping.
With FLV format by SuperConverter I have a very smooth frame rate but lag in details and sharpness.
If u ask me, i prefer to suffer a little frame drop to have a very crisp clear and sharp picture rather than smooth frame rate.
Enuff for bla bla bla.. just download and try for yourself.

Thank you very much for this useful Tut!! I'll try this out, for sure^^ and really thank you, a very clear, step by step tutorial for perfect video converting, thats great!!! Greez, cad^^

This is a great forum and I truly appreciate the selfless contributions of the many members, like you. Normally, I can get everything I need just by searching the forum. However, I have a problem and I am not sure if it is unique to me. I can’t get wmp to read mp4 files, even though they were created in the manner you just described. My mp4 files are readable using the native player. Any ideas why wmp won't read them?

WMP wont play your converted mp4 file or it wont play any mp4 files at all?
If WMP dont play just the converted file mayb its the converting process issue.
Just try download the sample video i provided. let c if it play.
If not, i guess its the WMP issue.. u need to reinstall WMP mayb.
What software u use to convert the video? Super or AimerSoft?

I used Aimersoft to convert the video. I finally got it to play. I had to download an H264 codec from an obscure site. Now, the video plays fantastically. I think WMP may have gotten corrupted from my trying out so many different brands of media players.
Again, thanks for the fix. Keep up the good work.

No problem mate. Glad that my TUT help sumbody.

I also noticed that MP4 with H.264 CABAC profile ON dosn't work with WMP
you have to be sure to turn it off to BaseLine
These options are in Super , don't know if VDO has something similar
by the way its in the other thread too,
but you can have a look at the quality using SUPER with this video clip
I don't have the Aimersoft to test the quality but SUPER does a good job converting to MP4,
but it can take several hours for a 8 Gb 1080 file

CABAC profile is set to off by default so that's why i didnt mention about that.
About comparing Super and AimerSoft i dont want to say much cuz i dont wanna course any flame war here and I know lots of people use Super too. (I have both anyway)
NOTE: I recommend AimerSoft Suite cuz it do a lot more than just a converter.
So, what i mainly do with my HD is to watch Music Video and Movie Trailers just to show my friends at work. And since MV and Trailers both are not a huge file so what i normally do is convert the same files with both Super and AimerSoft then play it and compare which one is better to keep.
I know mayb its a waste of time but thats the way i do. ^^
NOTE: It turns out, personally, AimerSoft beats Super by 9:1
NOTE 2: With Step Up 2 movie(its divx dvd-rip 780mb convert done in 1hr 20mins) I just pick AimerSoft to do the job and it was fine like i said apart from the laggy at first 2-3 mins tho.

Don't suppose you can remember where you got that codec? I have the same issue and have been googling for ages without any luck, must be getting late
Many thanks

U can get K-lite codec pack easily by google it, after u install that i recommend u to install CoreAVC pack as well. It improve H.264 and it comes with Haali Media Splitter too.
NOTE: PM me if u cant find them.

Urrrgh, don't use codec packs, they're notorious for screwing up machines.

i have codec pack install in my pc and it doesnt screw anything tho.
can u xplain how it screw your machine?

thank god for multicore processing or this would pretty much make the computer useless for however long it took for the conversion.

Thanks for the response. I think I may have got my wires crossed here. I can get the MP4 to play on WMP on my PC but your sample "Empire_Of_The_Sun_-_Walking_On_A_Dream.mp4" wont play on my HD. It will only open in Album or Coreplayer (although it doesn't play properly). I thought there was an additional codec to get my HD to play the file
This is strange, maybe I will need to do a hard reset already??? No doubt the first of many

Now that is really weird.
Do u have any error log/msg pop up when u try to play it?
Any strange thing happen at all?(such as loading icon appear)
Or its just nothing with black screen?
Q. "I thought there was an additional codec to get my HD to play the file."
A. I dont think u need to install any additional codec to your HD. (I didnt install any extra.)
Code:
Keep this a try >> http://rapidshare.com/files/171066422/h264.cab << Install it and let c if it play. if it doesnt, just uninstall it and do a hard reset.
Tell me if it works.

Vosszaa
The message I get from WMP is "Cannot play this file" andf thats it??? I will give that cab a spin and report back.
I tried a Madonna 4 Minutes MP4 video thats been posted on the forum to play on WMP as well and I get the same.

Just had a thought, are people syncing the files to their phones using WMP on the PC??? I am just copying the videos to my SD card manually. Does that make a difference??
I've never really used WMP on any of my WM devices, I've only used Beta Player, TCPMP or Coreplayer. Hopefully Coreplayer will have a release soon with full support for the HD chipset then none of this conversion will be necessary.

I just copy and paste by using Windows Explorer. It make no difference.

I found a cab on the htcdriver.com site. Here is the download link:
www.htcdriver.com/downloads/install/h264codecHTCdriver.com.cab

O.k tried the CAB's still no joy. Will get all my must have CAB's together either tonight or tomorrow and do a hard reset. Then report back.
Would have done it already but the lurgy is making around my home town and I feel like death!

DVD to MP4

Hi there
I have a question.
I have some festival movies on my HTC HD2, converted by Aimersoft DVD to MP4.
I tried to make it a 480x800 resolution, but it fails, it shows in verticalmode, and not in landscape mode.
So I tried a few of the other standard resolutions, those look good, but it shows a black line at the borders, so it doesn't use its fully 4,3 inch !
Does someone have a better alternative to convert a DVD to my HD2?
Thanks in advance!

You say you've tried 480x800 resolution but have you tried 800x480 resolution? This might be the quickest and easiest solution for you.
If all else fails, use the program developed for the HTC HD1 called MP4HD (search the forums for it). Quick, simple, easy and effective.

Yep, when I did 800x480, it fails.
I am going to look for the MP4HD, thanks!

Hmm I cannot find the MP4HD, do you have a link?

Thank you! will give it a try tomorrow, it's time to sleep for now (in my timezone then)
I hope it supports 480x800

i let it do a conversion last night.. it did it... the thing is that hd2 profile crops the video to an almost 1.680 crop ration instead of 1.667... so it leaves some small black bars... i do not know if it is because of the original... but it shouldn't considering that it actualy crops the video...
a 4 GB dvd made it in almost 700 MB... the video quality isn't the best... but is good....
LE: ooh.... and it doesn't know mkv,,, at lest the audio in it...

So, the issue with the black bars is not solved with it?

I'm not sure yet.... now i'm converting another one... this time an mkv... with dts audio... and the cropped res says is 800x480... it's gonna take some time.... it was a 7 GB mkv... it's half done... when finished i'll post back...

Try xmedia recode, its even able to convert blurays.
It has a HD2 setting option too, so no need to fiddle!

I tried some DVD files, but it's gonna maka a different mp4 file for every VIDEO_TS.
Can't I just make 1 mp4 file for all VIDEO_TS files?

No, they are all 22/25 min, when you play one, it plays the full movie, but when you try to convert it, it only converts the 22/25 min.

[Q] Problem while making bootanimation

I have been trying to make a boot animation from a video I made in Adobe After Effects. I am using Samsung Theme Designer because I am on the stock rom. The problem is that the animation is not going at 30fps. The original video was 1080x1920 30fps. I was syncing it with sound but that doesn't work because the animation is not going at 30fps. Thank you to anybody who can help me.
P.S. Also, there is a duration setting in Samsung Theme Designer which I've read should affect the fps, but it appears to have no effect.
Here is a sample of the video in case anyone was wondering:
