MP4's on 8125?

Hey, I've recently converted some DVD's to MP4's for use on my GF's iPod video, and they work great there. I figured I'd try to use them on my phone, of course, and had to find a media player to do it (Platform 4 Player), but for some reason the video is choppy as hell. These same files play perfectly on an ipod. I used CloneDVD Mobile to do the ripping (and DVD43 to break the encryption, which clearly worked out as evidenced by the ipod playing them just fine), so I'm at a loss for what's the problem. These are at 320x240, AAC audio.
Help!
Thanks!
Jason

Not sure if it will work, but you might try TCPMP, which you can find at tcpmp.corecodec.org. (If that link doesn't work, just google it. I was having problems with the link when I wrote this).

Yeah, I tried TCPMP and it wouldn't play back the video *at all* for some reason. I got audio thanks to the AAC plugin, but still, no video. It's strange because the same damn episodes and movies recompressed to WMV play just fine, but of course, those won't work on the iPod.

That's what I have right now. It *works*, and I get video at least, but it's so choppy that it looks like a slideshow.
Anyone ever use MP4's on an 8125 successfully I wonder?
Thanks for the help so far guys, I do appreciate it.

I had the import copy of Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children as an MP4 on my Wizard a while back and actually found that overclocking helped with playback.
At the stock 195Mhz, the phone would have some problems with choppy playback or even some spurts of clean playback and then a hesitation. When overclocked to 260Mhz, the playback became as smooth as silk.
Are you dropping in the MP4's straight in or are you converting them with a program like Pocket DivX converter? Conversion will usually help out with choppy playback as well, provided that the scaling and details optimize playback and etc.

Well, I'm using the Jodix Free iPod converter for files that are just AVI's and whatnot, but for DVD rips I'm using CloneDVD mobile. I'm running both with a bitrate of around 450Kb for video and I *think* 128Kb for audio, if I recall. Both seem to want to do audio only in AAC, though, but I'm not sure if that's related. I have my Wizard at 252Mhz right now with the same cruddy results. I may have to try a lower bitrate, I suppose

Podcasts....
I have tried mightly to get the iPod version of the GeekBrief podcast(and others) to work on my Wizard. However, all attempts have met with the same results as you are seeing. I am now firmly of the opinion that the Wizard cannot match the iPod's specialize hardware, and that using autosettings in conversion programs will always yield these results.
Conclusion: Find settings that work on your Wizard (the common denominator) and use those to encode for both devices.

Thanks, I'll give that a try. With any luck I can find settings that both work on the Wizard *and* don't look like complete ass on the iPod . I'll report my figurings back here on the off chance anyone else is crazy enough to try such a ridiculous stunt in the future, LOL.

Same lag and stutters overhere. Any solutions out there allready?
Default mediaplayer suddenly stopped working on my TP2, though the quality was way better then the core player's. Too bad it doesn't work no more.

can anyone help with this after paying for core player it wont play anything with out stuttering along

everything used to lag for me in coreplayer, including videos but if i switch the audio settings to higher priority for mp3 files they play without a hitch. now if only i can find out how to do the same for videos

Add me to the list of VERY unsatisfied results with Coreplayer on the TP2... it absolutely SUCKS. BIG TIME. Laggy and crappy... how is a man suppose to watch all those great videos stuttering!

I had the same issue (laggy, ...) a couple of months ago. I sent an email to CorePlayer support and got this answer back :
"Hello,
This is a known issue and we are working with several people on trying to track it down and are hopeful to have it included with the next release. I can offer you a full refund if you would like.
Regards,
CoreCodec Support Group"
They expect to release the new version by the end of this month.
Just have to wait...
Hope it helps.

Are you using DirectShow? If not, try it.

Great on TP2
Coreplayer is running great on my TP2. Watched 2 movies today and the video looked great and frames were solid. Honestly its the best thing i did for my TP2 yet. I dont believe it will handle 800x480 but a little bit lower resolution should still be fine and the video scales very well. Check this review on youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uONMuEeTo7A&feature=related
Watch near the end when he shows how Coreplayer runs.

REFUND!!!
So I just sent my refund request for Coreplayer. It has a bug with Tv-Out causing it to show a blue flicker. Also it has no real hardware support yet. The best thing I found was the Touch HD gui encoder program. It puts your videos into formats the built in players can use and those do have hardware support. So while coreplayer is a great app its not for the TP2.

Disable DirectDraw in TCPMP. Use GDI mode.
I am not sure if the following has any effect when DirectDraw is disabled, but this is the way I have it:
Select Options\Settings, then click on "Select page" and select DirectDraw.
You will see three options. Only select the one that says "use blitting instead of overlay"
This worked for me...

A7 stutters when plaing 1080p files help

I recently got my a7 and fresh out of ye box I did the elocitymod 1.1 and got the market place. Everything worked okay but when I tried to play my 1080p file the playback was very bad. Stuttering, slowdown and audio/video sync issues. I thought maybe it was the mod causing problems so I went back to the update from elocity(via recovery). Everything works but the same hd video problem, non hd files play fine. Its as if the unit is decoding via software or something. Im wondering if something got deleted when I did te mod? Can some help me

I don't have enough to post in the development section, can anyone help or maybe pass me off to some development people?

You can't ask for help or just post random questions in developmental sections anyways.
I would suggest you try something like ES Task Manager and Mini Task or your favorite task manager and kill other tasks, see if that helps.
If you are loading from an SD card, perhaps you need a faster one, or it may be fragmented.
hope that helps,

I have nothing running pretty much. My memory is at 256mbs free

I found the problem, i was my HD files were High profile H.264, the unit only supports base and Main profile.

Convert 1080p video to .mkv using mpeg4 or xvid codec. Encode at a bitrate between 9000 and 12000. You will be pleasantly surprised. My 1080p 60fps video from Sanyo HD2000 is silky smooth converted this way.

Playing mp4 files on Nookie

Hi,
i have generated a mp4-video with Sony Vegas which is of 1280x720 size. Unfortunately nookie can not play this file.
I have no idea, why this dont works. Can you give me hint?

AFAIK, to get hardware accelerated playback - you need to encode the movies for the Nook Color in 854 x 480. At least, this is how it works for CM7. I personally wish it did 720p as well, as having to convert for both the phone & NC sucks

Try using rockplayer.... see if that works

i use moboplayer, it plays almost everything in Soft Decoding mode
it just cannot be HD stuff, it stutters than a lot

[Q] Playing m4v Videos on ICS9 on my Nook Color

I have been using my Nook Color to play converted DVD's (using Handbrake...to m4v format), without problems using CM7 for almost a year.... and CM9 (up until nightly 20120126)... Now any recent nightly update produces green diagonal lines through the screen when I try to play. Doesn't matter what player I use...Mobo, Doubletwist, stock player (that comes with CM9)...sometimes I get a error that says "unsupported format". If I convert back to build 20120126, everything is fine... Is it just me? am I missing something? Is m4v no longer supported out of Handbrake? I would appreciate any help!!

I'm no longer able to play m4v videos either. I don't use the nook to view videos often, but I am on cm9 and tried to run a m4v within the last hour. It didn't work. I'm guessing there may have been an issue with the new kernel.

I am on the ICS nightly from 2-20 and I can confirm that a Handbrake converted m4v does play correctly using MX Video Player. (At least for me!) hth
