CorePlayer still works faster on the Diamond.
How fast?
can i simply drop a regular ~700mb xvid/divx movie on the internal storage and play it in full screen(with dithering and smooth zooming enabled) without lag or frame dropping?
just wondering since i'm probably buying the diamond, and this could really be a deal breaker.

My friend I think you didn't try watching divx on Diamond...We can't watch divx even with core player. But this is possible on Omnia. So we are watching other programs ore codecs...
sorry but, have no problems watching dvix 700mb files on my diamond witch coreplayer

I'm sorry, but I have no problem watching 640x272 files on my Diamond with CP.
I have 2 diamonds and for a few days the omnia i900. I think nobody can see a full 700Mb movie on Diamond, without cuts. But on omnia is no problem at all. Omnia is much much faster than Diamond. I was thinking to buy one, but i will wait for the 480x800 version.

Omnia resolution screen is just 240 x 400 pixels
Diamond is real vga - 640 x 480 ...
so Omnia has less resolution with faster CPU ...
as result, u have BIG cut in the resolution with the Omnia..
Diamond is not for Multimedia. Is one of the slowest mobile that I`ve been testing so far. The only thing that can chage this is the release of Ati video Drivers from HTC and a new O.S (maybe windows mobile 6.5?). Until that, I recomend you to buy another phone with better multimedia support (iphone or nokia)
I downloaded DivX player from divx labs and installed it.
After that, I started downloading movies from the following site:
http://moviesmobile.net/
and now, I have aproximatly 10 movies installed on my phone, that I can watch with rather good quality, (not crisp)
So I think it's very well doable, but you shouldn't try to cram a 700 mb movie trough there.
also, I used core player once and it starts showing some weird deformations when I run a 700 mb movie on my diamond
The speed stays nice and stable, but the movie itself looks like crap.
Hope this helps
Err, that site only has 320xXXX resolution, awful lol.
"700MB divx" don't mean anything.
You have to look the bitrate of the video. The diamond with the last Core Player can handle videos (almost perfectly) with a bitrate <~ 550 (and a resolution under the 640x)
No problems with video at all. Make sure to tailor your videos to the Diamonds resolution, I use DVD Catalyst to switch up resolution, then DL to my phone. Typical 1 1/2 hour movie is around 550 to 650MB, I use size to denote quality although even a 550MB movie looks awesome on my Diamond.
Mind you, this is using the new Telus ROM
Whatever Telus did with the ROM upgrade, it turbocharged my media capabilities
by 700 mb I ment all comon .avi files cam,TS,DVDrips and so on you can find. Had no problem whatsoever.
Videos with a higher bitrate than 600~700 will have frame drop on the diamond.
Its hard to see them, especially if the movie don't have many actions scenes.
With a movie ~90mn/700MB, you have generally a ~800KBp, so no problem really, some frame drop, but it seem perfect.
But if you try a ~20mn/400MB or ~40mn/700MB (midle quality TV Show for example), the bitrate is most higher than 1000KBp and the video its almost unviewable...

I`m watching 700MB movies whitout problems, is very important what program was used when the movie was processed, there are some that hang some time. I watched movies that had 1500kb bitrate without problems, and the quality is great. Try the CorePlayer 1.3 is the best. I will always choose my Diamond over an Omnia .

I didn't know that HTC Diamond got an ATI chipset
Maybe it has a HD4850

well the Diamond uses a Qualcomm cpu which has a embeded ATI Imageon. Programs like coremedia player uses this to improve the performance, but windows mobile comes without drivers. So bassically your diamond is running windows mobile like a failsafe version of windows xp.
check this link http://www.mobilewave.ro/news/Performanta-grafica-a-lui-HTC-Diamond-Touch-Pro-259.html, there are a few videos about the bad Diamond´s graphic perfomance. Devices with one, two or even 3 years have better perfomance than diamond

thats very funny , a synthetic benchmark is very helpfull to see the true potencial of the device, but that doesn´t meen that you are using all of this power in a daily use. Just one example, try to play a video (H.264 at VGA (640×480) resolutions at 30 frames per second) in a diamond and then try a nokia n96. The nokia device plays the video smooth and without lag, the diamond video is laggy with frame lost, but ehy! you can run the benchmark on the diamond to feel better afther that.

ok i am here to ask you all to prove them wrong " especially those fanboys fail"
take a look at the youtube video link attach above. As you can see the the uploader is comparing video playback on omnia hd i8910 and x1. In the video the x1 uses tcp player for playback, everyone knows that tcp dosen't support x1 internal graphic aceleration. only wmp support graphic acceleration. this video is prepare for omina hd resolution 640x360 so no way the reality look like this on x1. and x1 can even do better as it got 800 x 480 pixels and higher pixel density then omnia hd. First i have to say im not a fan boy of se,wm or samsung, i compare everything fair and square.
so if you have time go in a post some comment and prove them wrong!
Of course i didn't ask for a open argument
So ive just been reading over on gsmarena here and it says that the new iPhone can now play 1080p video. Even though im anti iPhone I have to say that it is pretty impressive. But lead me to ask the question what is the maximum video type that our HD can play? Also do you think the next generation phone to take over from the Touch HD will be equipped with advanced technology?
The iphone screen res is lower tha hd's BUT it has a tv out (with component), but the hd doesn't, so video with a higher resolution than 800*480 is useless for it

not if you want to play videos that dont need to be resized first..
From what i understand the nexus shoots video in dvd like quality but can playback in hd 720p. Does the nexus have the best resolution, video recording, and video playback(without researching I feel sure the 5 megapixel camera is easily outdone by other phones) on a u.s. mobile phone? Also, what are the different types of screens and how does amoled compare and why? If nexus isnt the ultimate then what's the brand and specs of a better one? And is it true thy ota's can actually improve visuals on a phone ie making the camera and recorder look better (this isnt a complaint I'm thorough impressed with the nexus visually ) i guess im basically asking for a clinic in mobile phone screens with comparisons to the stunning nexus one.Thanks
The Nexus One is the only WVGA AMOLED on the market *that I can think of* right now. However, the Droid's screen resolution is more suited for 16:9 video playback. 854/480 ~ 16/9 while 800/480 does not. The Nexus One has a better camera, though.
I have some of anime and old videos which I need to play. The are in 540p, 480p & 720p. The quality look great on my 16 inch laptop which has 1366x768 resolution. Can someone please comment on the playback in Nexus 10 ?

It looks as good as any 480p+ videos will ever look. It will look crisper than your laptop mostly by virtue of packing more pixels per inch (480 pixels on a 7.5" tall surface vs ~13" tall surface)
360p is somewhat odd, but some look cool. Now for 480p (540p I never saw before) it looks good, and for HD it's very clear. You can watch without worries . I recommend MX Video Player.
