DEFINITIVE VIDEO SETTINGS

Howdy all,
I have had my M5000 for some time now - and having some experience in video / compression settings, I have spent months fiddling back and forth trying to find the perfect settings for SMOOTH playback.
I have read thread after thread all over the web with half help, good ideas, etc but no definitive answers.
The strange thing is that after searching for a long time, I came accross an Xvid of Mr T's "Be Somebody" (don't ask) - and this runs absolutely perfectly on my M5000.
Analysing the exact compression settings with vDub and gSpot reveals the following :
Frame Size : 352x240, 29.970fps
Length : 90418 frames
Decompresser : XviD MPEG4 Codec
Number of Key Frames : 678
Data Rate : 802Kbps
Audio Sample rate : 44100Hz
Channels : 2
Compression : Fraunhofer IIS MPEG Layer 3
Data Rate : 96Kbs
Thinking I had cracked it, I then used these exact compression settings on several ripped DVDs, but to no avail. Jerk. Jerk. Stutter. etc.
I've even tried setting the data rate as low as poss for both audio and video, reducing frame size to tiny, but it still won't play smoothly.
So - after this long rant (apologies), could anyone please tell me the exact settings they use for absolute 'smooth as a button' playback - and if there's anything painfully obvious that I am missing?!
I am running these vids from my highspeed SD card, with TCPMP 0.72RC1 installed on the card also.
I am happy to use any software, but am rather keen on Pocket DVD Studio.
I am extremely jealous of those who appear to have full framerate playback, so please help - for the sake of my sanity!!

well my xda is in the post on its way to me, but i did have the same problem with a standalone divx dvd player. you need to go to moitah.net and download the mpeg4modifier and unpack the bitstream.... this sorted the problem for my divx player...
let me know how you get on

Greetings.
My Exec plays videos encoded with PocketDivxEncoder full screen with no stuuter or jerking. I simply use a preset for one of the Pocket PCs and it works like a charm. I use TCPMP as my video player.
Good luck!

lathe
Hi,
Same here. I use PocketDivxEncoder (free) and TCPMP, works like a charm. I tried upgrading to lathe (bought it) for the sake of being able to compress to a higher resolution for the possibilities of the universal, but that was not a succes. The extra options are nice but you end up with a blocky and stuttering picture (even if you put in the same configurations used in PocketDivxEncoder). After a couple of test runs like this I gave up on lathe and went back to PocketDivxEncoder. So my advice is to stick with this program for encoding.
Good luck with finding your best solution!

Hi I am on a universal, after not being impressed with wm player i upgraded to TCPMP aswell and its very good, full screen works wonders. As above its all free.

Have you tried encoding the video with Microsofts WM9 Encoder, it's free and, fair enough the resolution isn't great as with all these encoders for pocket pc, the picture is perfectly good on a 3.5" screen. WME has a built in Pocket PC profile to make converting a file even easier.
If the source is in 16:9 format the letterbbox is automatically added to keep aspect ratio or you can choose to crop the file etc......

Unable to watch movies fluently

hi guys,
I'm glad having a Xperia since last week....but I'm unable to run videos fluently - even with TCPMP 0.72RC1.
There was a "James Bond" trailer von the device when I have bought it, but it runs with 1 frame per 5-10 seconds!
even other movies don't play fluently.
Yesterday I did a hard-reset....but this didn't help.
Does anyone have the same problems?? Or a solution for this probs?
I even tryed out the "Turbo Speed X1 - Up to 8 X faster Performance than standard setup"...but even this didn't help...
//edit: there's no branding on the device...ROM: 1.02.932.3 from 08/29/2008

hi Cysign,
first i have to say sorry... i cannot help you with your specific problem.
but i have got a related problem. the bond trailer runs ok with my x1i... so i tried to rip a dvd for the x1 by myself using the following conversion-settings:
video: 480x270, h264, mp4, 25fps (pal) @ 796kbps
audio: aac @ 128kbps
this resulted in a 706mb file.
i copied the file via active sync to the 8gb flash card in the phone. all went well so far but when i watch the movie it looks somewhat "artificial". meaning that this movie looks like it was made by using a home-videocamera. (i hope this discribes it a little)
the bond trailer doesnt have this videoish appearance.
what went wrong ? are my settings exceeding the capabilities of the x1? or do you have other suggestions ? (btw, i tried to use the same settings as the bond trailer)
greetz

Did you guys trying increasing the buffering size in ur players? I personally use core player 2.0 and it plays perfectly but sometimes and this is rare but its like the graphics gpu is failing or something. All the images appear on the screen very slowly but a hard reset usually fixes that.

Guys, when I try to play the Bond movie, it prompt for license cert etc but it is still not able to play. How to resolve this problem?

which player?

that bond trailer ran pretty good on my x1a. i cant remember if i watched the whole thing or just to see how it ran but from what i did see, it was good. no lag or freeze up. i played it on the standard media player that came on the phone. i didnt play it thru the panel tho, i just played it by opening up media player. how were you running it? my x1a is pretty much all stock with no hacks on it.
i also had some movies that i ripped in .3gp format and from what i can tell, it also ran pretty good. i ripped these movies for my other phone (lg cu500) and my nokia internet tablet and so it also runs pretty good on the x1a.
i like ripping in .3gp because i can play it on any of my devices and the files are about 100mb per two hour movie. i think my resolution that i ripped my dvd was something like 480 x 240 but im not for certain. its kind of funny that not all devices will run mpeg because of the different variations of mpeg. kind of dissapointing when a product says it will a certain format but when you try and run it, it just so happen it doesnt support that perticular format.

Try Media Xperiance Panel, it is by far better than Core/TCPMP/WMP.
I think the media panel is the only app that support Hardware Accelerate in X1 at the moment.

but it doesn't play most formats and even some of my mp4s sadly

Similar problem here.
The only vid that plays well is the bond trailer.
All others (wmv) are played but with a horrible fps rate
Tried to start media player directly from the today screen and via panel... no difference.
Looks like a fast slideshow.

i tried both, playing via wmp and the media panel but the appearance of my ripped movie stays the same....
there is no stuttering but (as i said in my first post) it looks like it has something to do with the framerate. ?
btw, here is a readout from the program "super 2008 build 33" of the bond trailer:

I tried a My name is Earl episode a few days ago. It's in 1280x720 resolution so I thought it would be a good starting point for a test.
I managed to play it ok i media player at 800x448 or around there, but only with 600 kbps bitrate. It looked ok and played fairly smooth. I would say around 20 fps.
For recoding I used the Xvid4PSP program with modified default MP4 profile.
You need to use x264 (AVC) profile 4.2 and AAC LC (Low complexity). Then it should play with hardware acceleration.
800x480 resolution may be overkill, since the pixels are so tiny, so I would recommend a much lower resolution (600x'something') and around 600 kbps bitrate for a nice result.

I just run the 350mb (ish) avi files direct in Coreplayer.
Res is around 640x352.
TV shows are fine, and IronMan only had a few drops in the high action scenes.

Here's what I do with my videos:
Open PocketDivXEncoder on my pc.
Select HD-TV as the option.
Select the movies I want to endcode.
Drop video quality to 70.
Audio qaulity to maximum.
Resize video (keeping aspect ratio) to 400 horizontal.
Encode.
These all play in Coreplayer smooth as silk

I personally do absolutely nothing. I download a movie and just place it on my sd card and watch it through core player. It plays smooth with no compression at all.

try using spb mobile dvd to convert your movies, i've done this with some movies that didn't play smoothly and now they all work perfectly

Im currently using TCMP im just wondering if anyone has any ideas for the optimal settings for it
Cheers

what is a recommended buffer rate for watching videos?

Can someone confirm that the only player that utilises the media accelerator is the media panel?
I had thought that WMP also uses the accelerator.
Also what are the codecs the accelerator uses?
I've tried various MP4's and i've found only by lowering the resolution do I get smooth playback.
I'm currently going through the baselines for H.264 and found that baseline 3 does not play and baseline 1.3 does not get accelerated.
I'm currently (as I type) encoding a file with the baseline of 1 to see if that is accelerated.
I think we need to narrow down the exact codecs/media players/resolutions to use.

In super if you look in the video panel you can see the H264 Profile in the options section.
Click on the "H" button and the profiles pops open and select your baseline from there.
I've tried Baseline 1 now and still i'm not getting acceleration...the file still plays faster on Coreplayer than it does in the panel.
I'm wondering if this is because I have Jack's custom Rom using pubbas panel installer for the Media experience?
Also nobody answered me about whether or not WMP uses acceleration?

Encoding MKV Files for Playback

Hello Everyone,
After much testing/researching, I have finally found the best solution to encode .MKV files to .MP4 for flawless playback on the HD2 using MediaCoder. I have tried many of the other methods and settings provided by others on this forum and many of them were good, but simply took too long or sometimes caused choppy playback on the HD2.
Note: These settings will work for any video files, I just happen to use .MKV for their quality.
MediaCoder Settings:
Format: H.264
Mode: Average bitrate @ 1200Kbps
x264 Profile: Baseline
Audio encoder: FAAC
Audio Format: LC-AAC
Audio mode: Average bitrate @128Kbps
Container: MP4
Resize: 800x450
Aspect ratio: Set PAR 1:1
With these settings I have tested 12 different files ranging from 500MB-1.8GB in size(720p quality) and the largest took 34 minutes on my dual core CPU (intel i5). First tried playing the files with HTC Album player and CorePlayer and the results weren't very good and they included a lot of choppiness. After reading some others success with WMP, I decided to give it a shot and I was pleasantly surprised to find that it played the .MP4 files beautifully and without a single hiccup.
Some of you may already have solutions for encoding videos for playback on the HD2, but I have found these settings to be perfect for anyone who wants to encode HD .MKV files.
I want to thank everyone who has contributed to finding the best method of converting/encoding files for playback, but I can honestly say these settings will give you amazing quality and smooth playback, even in the most intense action scenes. Give it a try!

Thank you very much as this was one of my next endeavors to work on and you just saved me tons of time!

Not a problem, I honestly spent hours upon hours encoding with different settings and players to get it to run smoothly. One thing I haven't tried though is encoding 1080p files. If you do, let me know how they run!

Sure will - I have very few 1080 files to try right now (may be 1 or 2).

+1
Someone should sticky this, perfect playback on my HD2 with these settings!

Thank you so much.

Just saved me a ton of time figuring this out. Used for a couple of videos and they play great. Thanks

The only change I made is resizing to 800x480. Flawless playback.

Tried these settings and although they were good, took about an hour to encode, longer than the length of the video in the first place. The settings I posted are to encode video files quicker, and with MediaCoder and not TMPGEnc.XPress.
Different settings, different program

Those bit-rates seem awfully low to me, especially if you're not using CABAC. Do you not get better results with bit-rates >2000kb/s?

There's also a different thread for video encoders, but too lazy to look it up. Guess it's better to have a new thread every now and then instead of having 50 new "How do I get my HD2 to play videos smoothly?" threads show up every other week.
My encodes take about 5-10minutes tops. Only when doing a 2 pass encode does it take longer and there's really no point in doing those anymore unless you aim for a specific file size.

No point in going beyond 2000Kbps as you won't see the difference and the files becomes too big.
Using a crf value of 21 usually results in a bitrate of around 1000-1500kbps.

What exact settings are you using to encode files in 5-10 minutes? Also, what are the file sizes? I am all for learning new ways to do things, I would love to be able to encode in that short amount of time. Let me know!

Depends on the source and of course encoding settings. I usually do a basic [email protected] Encode with --crf 23 and --ref 1(no weighted B-frames and no I-frames) for TV shows and [email protected] --crf 21 --ref 2 for movies. I also use lanczos4 to downscale to 800 x XXX.
Encoding also relies pretty heavily on the hardware involved so the better the hardware the faster the encoding speed. Currently running my i7 at 4Ghz and cpu utilization is 100%(for all eight threads). The software also makes quite a difference and I noticed that MeGui was the fastest encoder of the ones I tried(and it's pretty easy to use).

2 pass and constant quality use the same algorithm so the quality is exactly the same.

[Q] [REQUEST] Hardware HD decoding

Hello XDA people,
I own an ePad and an HTC HD2.
When I put an MKV 720P file (probably encoded with x264) on my microSD card, the ePad plays it perfectly with Act one video player. When I try it using my HD2 its says "android media server died". And rockplayer can only software decode it, which is very slow and laggy.
Is there any way I can simply download and watch my HD TV series? The SD versions work but it's just not very sharp.
Tim

An hd movie played on the hd2 will only be 480x800, so it's still watching a sd movie in that case. >.>

That's true, however, when I grab the SD version of the TV show, it's 624x352 and a lower bitrate. So you can see a difference. Also, if I download the HD version I can still decide to watch it on my laptop and fully enjoy the resolution, rather than having to download the HD and SD version.
A friend with a Galaxy S tried to play an 720P MKV, and it plays it very well with hardware encoding, so I guess it's a driver issue?

Yes it is a driver issue, or more like it's not built in. Our snapdragon doesn't know how to process mkv files.

When you say "properly encoded with x264", what profile are you using? I used the wrong profile in Handbrake and ended up with choppy/laggy video on my HD2. Fixing the encoding options (read the tooltips on the Advanced tab in the latest version of Handbrake) results in a larger file (because it's compressed less-aggressively, so the player doesn't need to do so much work) that plays just fine on my HD2.
I've been ripping my DVDs and making .mp4s from them in Handbrake just fine. They're encoded to 720p and all play without any problems.
(Although Handbrake seems to have problems with using the correct height, but that's a HB problem).

Do you think it will be possible to have hardware encoding any time soon? Or wil this never work?

I doubt it, especially because Leo is a WinMo device, not Android, which means hardware manufacturers will not provide drivers or code to achieve this.

(I'd linkify my links, but I"m a new users here and the forum software won't let me).
See the table here: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/H.264/MPEG-4_AVC#Profile
From your video meta-data, it's encoded with the "High" profile. I'm not familiar with the H.264 decoding algorithms, but I'm willing to bet that you won't find any video player on your HD2 that can decode that video in real-time.
Most mobile devices adhere to the Baseline Profile (BP). Here's what you need to do: Go and install Handbrake. Run it and create a new device profile (click "Add" in the bottom right-hand corner).
Switch to the Advanced tab and make sure yours looks like this: i.imgur.com/AEkFf.png
Right click on the new profile you created, and click "Save Changes".
Now, you might need to muck with the picture size on the first tab, but that's not too important since you're just trying to get the video playing smoothly.
Load your source video, and encode it to a new file. It should play just perfectly on your HD2.
I've tried several video players, and when I had the encoding options wrong, the only one that worked was VitalPlayer, but I had artifacts all over the screen. With these settings, any player that actually works in my ROM loads and plays the video just fine (ironically, VitalPlayer doesn't work in the ROM I have flashed right now). The stock video player, Meridian, mVideoPlayer, Zimly, all work fine. I suspect that the majority of the video players in the app store use the same engine to decode the video.

I tried recoding the file. It now plays better, but still only 10fps and the video is running behind. No other options I guess? Recoding to 800x480 is way to much of a hastle for me.
This is a major setback, I'll see if someone with a Desire can test it.

Get a better version of RockPlayer and try again. Look at the ARMv7 links on the right...
http://rockplayer.freecoder.org/index_en.html
I found that a LOT better than the version available on the market.

Too bad, tried the latest version and got the same results.
Do you think a desire build would be better since it also has a snapdragon cpu?

[MOD CAMERA] Recording video with STABLE FPS / STABLE FRAMERATE. Android ICS 4.0.3

Hello everyone ..
First, sorry for my bad English.
Exist the mod for record videos with fps stable and not variable fps?
I have a problem to edit the videos created by my galaxy s2.
After editing, the audio is not synchronized with the video, I think it is a problem of variable frame rate.
I'm searching a solution to force the application of the camera to record video with fps stable.
I have ICS 4.0.3 stock rom I9100XXLPW, I have root, I have recovery.
I have already tried LgCamera and other applications. Without result.
Please do not link to other threads because I can not read and understand full pages in English.
Thank you.

nothing????
Inviato dal mio GT-I9100 con Tapatalk 2

You say the problem only becomes apparent after editing. What app / software are you using to edit the video?
Sounds more likely that it is the re-encoding that is de-syncing the audio rather than the video

No, the audio is not synchronized already in the preview of video editing programs. Just when importing the video into video editing program. Not only after creation.
The problem is in the video recording method of the ICS software. (VARIABLE FPS).
I used many video editing programs (even I had thought the problem was the program) .. Pinnacle Studio 15, AVS Video Editor, VirtualDub, Avidemux, VideoDub.. etc. ..
I am sure the problem is the variable framerate, because I tried to register with another phone that registers with stable fps, and do not have these problems.
So..
You know methods to force the application to record in stable fps?
Exist a mod?
These are the info of file (recording with Galaxy s2 ICS 4.0.3 with stock rom samsung LPW):
Frame rate mode : Variable
Frame rate : 29.926 fps
Minimum frame rate : 11.027 fps
Maximum frame rate : 46.320 fps
Standard : NTSC

No, the audio is not synchronized already in the preview of video editing programs. Just when importing the video into video editing program. Not only after creation.
The problem is in the video recording method of the ICS software. (VARIABLE FPS).
I used many video editing programs (even I had thought the problem was the program) .. Pinnacle Studio 15, AVS Video Editor, VirtualDub, Avidemux, VideoDub.. etc. ..
I am sure the problem is the variable framerate, because I tried to register with another phone that registers with stable fps, and do not have these problems.
So..

Camera drivers are locked down. Try recording in optimum conditions and in a lower quality (not resolution) and see if that helps at all. The video/audio codec combination are adapted to a variable framerate so the fact that it's not syncing properly makes me think it's your video editor.

No, the problem is not my video editor.
I am sure of what I say, because before making a thread on xda I did endless research.
I already tried with low quality and even with low resolution.
THE PROBLEM IS VARIABLE FPS.
I read that there are custom rom with mod camera with stable fps.
For example this: [Neutrino system] PFittech ROM GTX AND 4.04 - Neutrino - faster than light - 8.7.2012
Report this characteristics:
Camera Mod
video bit rate increased to 20Mbps - 1080p
stable 30FPS
audio format AAC
So exist a method for mod camera..

please.. help me!!

That's based on CM9 and AOKP. Flash that ROM and see if your problem will get fixed. I've tried to mod the camera on our device. I've raised the bitrate to over 40Mbps and tried everything to force framerates. It DOESN'T work. Our camera firmware is only going to work with Variable Framerate. Flash CM9 see if it works. If not, then stop asking for it since it doesn't exist.

I've never had a problem editing the videos recorded from my GS2. From GB to ICS its always been the same. No Issue and the audio is always in sync. Something must be wrong on your end.

Sorry, What software do you use to edit video?
It's impossible.
With Gingerbread worked. Now with ICS no.

You can put the info of your file?
I withdraw the information with software Format Factory. --> Format Factory
Home --> Advanced --> Media File Info
What firmware you have? And what software do you use to edit video?

The only Problem what I have is, that my Phone camera not really focus but its ok

I import the file directly into Sony Vegas 11. Done

I have exactly the same problem. The video from GB was also variable FPS so that is not it, I guess.
When playing a recorded vid, fine. When importing into Adobe Premiere Elements 10, I get the video/audio lag....
Anybody please?

I now use MediaCoder on desktop to convert video from phone to fixed frame rate. Adobe can then work properly with the vids.

I use without any problems Sony Vegas 11 and I am happy. There is no any problem with desync, FPS are stable ~29.95 to ~30.10. Both in lgCamera and system camcorder as well. I am on ICS 4.0.3 NeatROM.
There is no any mod for stable, fixed FPS value. There will always be some deviation.

I saw the same issue with other editing programs as well. With GB video's no issues....maybe time to switch to Sony Vegas as this seems to properly support the recorded vids.

I solved this problem by uploading the raw file to YouTube and then downloading it back into Premier Elements 10. It then edits without loss of audio sync. I have not found that any other conversion (including MediaCoder) that will solve the problem but maybe there is a setting for MediaCoder that would work. I found also that Sony Vegas Pro 11 (trial version) does not keep the audio in sync.

I've been searching quite a lot for some solution to get picture and sound synced in Adobe Premiere when I recording with my Note Edge and on the end I found perfect app which records in constant frame rate.
I have tested the app just shortly today and everything was fine after exporting the video from the Premiere.
Here is the link on the google play

Buddy I guess your talking about bs editing software like premerie pro and believe me I know the struggles, I'm sorry to say that your only options are 3rd party software. A software called "handbrake" which allows you to convert your video to a constant frame rate.... another option which is a pretty simple method and possibly even better, is "OBS", simply play the video in vlc player (or whatever player you use to watch movies on your pc) and set up OBS to record screen display or that specific window that your playing the movie it don't matter. Be sure to first edit your settings in obs to save the video in mp4 or avi format, or once again your video editing software won't take it because apparently it's to complicated for these genius that make these video editors to make one that can process any other format or better yet process a video that has variable frame rates.
