Hey guys,
Is there a codec for the windows media player for the dopod 838pro that will allow you to play .wav files? Some waves will play but others won't...Other than that is there another type of player that will play all of the filetypes?
Cheers
.wav file is a container. It may have the sound information encoded by different methods, including MP3, or AC3, or DTS...
So you need not a .wav player (well, not only), but also a decoder for a particular method. You have to find out what exactly do you need yourself.
Has anyone use the built in player or windows media player to play a .M4V file.
HTC website says its supported, but Windows Media reports a problem and the built in player, accessed via albums, does display the file in question. Although it does seem to count it when you use the library selector.
I have posted a question to HTC support who says .M4V isn't supported, see below, but the specifications on the HTC website definately say it is supported.
I really want to know if M4V files are supported by default, but am interested to know if anyone has played this format using other players, such as CorePlayer etc.
Please note I do not want to convert the file from M4V to another format.
Dear customer,
This is the code that will play in your device:

This format M4V its not listed in our codes try to use a different codec to play the videos this way we will see if the device its playing the files.
Best regards,
Got a Response from HTC
.M4V (Itunes MP4 files) are supported but not if DRM is included.
I have now played one but the full HTC response is below.
Dear customer, M4V files are used for TV episodes, movies, and music videos in the iTunes Store. .M4V files are similar to .MP4 files, both of which are MP4 files. The difference is that M4V files are opened with iTunes player by default. MP4 files are opened with Quicktime player by default. The copyright of M4V files may be protected by using Apple's FairPlay DRM copyright protection. To play a protected M4V file, the computer needs to be authorized (using iTunes) with the account that was used to purchase the video. However, unprotected M4V files may be recognized and played by other video players by changing the file extension from ‘.m4v’ to ‘.mp4’. M4V files contain DRM and the purchasing users info. It is recommended to use Requiem to remove the DRM and remux this into mkv. About the file in your storage card, when you try to opne in the album viewer not recognized the file and when you try with the windows media player then recognised the file because it have the codec in the data base inside the application.

Is there no way to play .flac sound files on HD2 ? I converted them to mp3 but the original .flac format is too qualited.
CorePlayer or PocketPlayer with the flac plugin will do it
I'm sure there are some free players too!
I have certain MKV files which can be played and ones which cannot be played on my SGS, after a little searching i found it can be due to certain codecs not being supported by the sgs natively.
does anyone know a decent quick converting windows application?
example the MKV file i have is 6 channel audio, which i believe is not supported. i need to convert the audio codec of this.
You need three separate applications to convert your DTS audio to AC3 format that SGS can read. Note that 1080p is not supported so i can't help you there.
The applications you need are:
1. MKV Extract GUI - to extract the dts audio
2. DTS2AC3 - To convert the DTS audio to AC3 audio
3. MKV Merge GUI - to merge the newly created AC3 audio with your mkv file
You can do a good search to find these apps and instruction on how to use
Hope this helps.

check 'popcorn mkv audio converter' - it does all by itself using the tools mentioned by dipac. No hazzle for us, it takes less than a minute to convert a video song without modifying the video quality.
Suggest me an app to do the same for mp4s please.
Dont know if it helps with 6 channel audio, but i could play all mkv files after upgrading to JM2 firmware. Some files didnt play on the old firmware, JF3.
I have Songbird installed on my PC with an extensive FLAC Library of albums in FLAC Format.
When I move these files to my Galaxy Tab manually they play just fine in my music library. However when I try to sync with Songbird they get converted to either OOG or WMA.
In the device Information reported by Songbird it lists device support for the following formats;
3gp, aac, bmp, gif, jpeg, jpg, m3u, m4a, mp3, oga, oog, png, wav, wma
Since I know that the galaxy Tab plays FLAC files, How do I get Android to report to my PC (e.g. Songbird) that it in fact supports FLAC?
Thanks
