Greetings loved ones, i will explain how and what are the precautions you should take in order to ensure that your converted video is supported by x10.
Firstly, remember this: THE HIGHEST QUALITY VIDEO FORMAT x10 support is MP4 encoded with codec for 'PS3-MEPG4' which has an extension of (.mp4)!
although it may seem like just one of the many mp4 formats supported by the X10, THIS IS IN FACT THE HIGHEST-QUALITY-FORMAT SUPPORTED. how do i know this? i am a kinda-professional video editor and a small director (not in business though, a talented hobby). and i did a lot of research using all the best softwares available on the market (i meant the internet not the android market).
ok, so to summarise, x10 supports quite a lot of (.mp4) format files, but they does not mean the best quality. best quality [for-x10] is (.mp4) files encoded in 'PS3-MPEG4' codec.
-----------------------------
HOW DO YOU DO THIS,
use any one of the following softwares which supports conversion to this codec:
*4Media PS3 Video Converter (windows & mac)
http://www.mp4converter.net/ps3-video-converter-win.html
OR
*Sothink Video Converter Free Version (windows only)
http://www.myconverters.com/video-converter/ps3-video-converter.htm
OR
*Xilisoft MP4 Converter (windows & mac)

there are many more other softwares which i have not tested but might support 'PS3-MPEG4' format conversion. you can google them. the above softwares are tested by me personally and works. I TESTED THE PAID VERSION NOT THE FREE TRIAL. SO I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE IF THE FREE TRIAL DOES NOT WORK FOR YOU. and i know how good most of you guys are at getting paid softwares for free from the internet. that is one alternative that i am not recommending (i dont want to go to prison) BUT YOU MIGHT WANT TO CONSIDER IT AT YOUR OWN RISK thanks i wanted to share this info with you guys.
THANKS AND GOOD LUCK
below are some screenshots of the softwares and the 'PS3-MPEG4' option highlited (you may need to login to view them):

the version i mentioned is the mac-only version.
because i had not TESTED the pc version of xilisoft yet so i cannot recommend it.
and if you want the pc version, you dont necessarily need xilisoft, you can use 4Media or Sothink (i have tested both in pc, so i recommend) links above in the main post.

Thank you very much for the guide, very useful!
I am using Format Factory and there is a PS3 converting profile.
Will that be OK to use or should I download one of the programs in the OP?
There is also a program from cyberlink called Media Espresso, it is pretty cool.
@OP do you know or recommend any video conversion utility that uses GPU acceleration specially ATI' stream or openCL ?

An MP4 with .h264(AVC) video and .aac audio is the best codec/container setup. Is that what is used in the profiles you suggested? And 854x480 = 16x9 so if your converter supports it, encode to that resolution.

Yeah, you "can" play 720p if it has a low enough bitrate. Good for showing off Animation can be encoded with lower bitrate & still look good so I do watch some 720p anime from time to time
I am using Handbrake. GPL, multiplatform, work over network. You can add chapters, subtitles, have many builtin presets, to no think about the best configuration, and can use acceleration on nvidia gpu's
The best for me as linux user.

i think it should be ok if you use 'PS3 converting profile' that you mentioned
BUT MAKE SURE THE encoding is in MPEG-4 (extension .mp4)!
BECAUSE PS3 SUPPORTS VARIOUS FILE FORMATS SUCH AS (.divx) (.avi) (.wmv) !
NOT JUST MP4.
SO MAKE SURE YOU use 'PS3 converting profile' and choose (.mp4) extension

AMD stated that Cyberlink MediaShow Espresso software WILL USE the ATI Stream direction and capabilities. so, you could just get that
but i heard a software called TMPGEnc 4.0 Xpress could do better quality than MediaShow Espresso, but i am not sure. you could check that out too.

So, I have finally managed to rip one of my BD movies to my computer, and then converted it to .mp4 with Mp4ForHD.
The quality is extremely good, and 90% of the time, the picture is crystal clear, however i think that the HD2 is capable of playing movies with even higher bitrate than what Mp4ForHD can create. I don't know how to fix this myself, but untill someone does, we can only imagine how good the picture quality could be.
But I've captured some pics, for you to see, tell me what you think. Its from the movie Inglorious Bastards.

If you want a feeling of the video quality on your own device, download the pictures (Right click; Save As) and then copy them to your HD2. Then watch the images in the gallery, and see for yourself.

This file is neither allocated to a Premium Account, or a Collector's Account, and can therefore only be downloaded 10 times.
This limit is reached.
Please repost.
Not to take anything away from the OP but this isn't Blu-Ray on an HD2. It's transcoded video.
It's not different to ripping a DVD to DivX or something and playing it surely?
how big was the file before and after it was converted?
It's "blue ray" as a normal dvd doesn't have a resolution like this. A normal dvd has a resolution below this, therefore there is a difference whether you convert a "blue ray" or a dvd to 800x480. Did you get it?
edit:
which program was used for conversion?
Mp4forHD now has a higher allowed bitrate of 1600 kbps...this should allow for better quality video. However, imho, 1800-2000kbps is the sweet spot for HD converts...I do that for all my HD converts for HD2 and they play fine....only concern is not to hit more than 2gb per file.
Not sure if TS is converting videos to fit 800x480? I would advise to convert videos retaining aspect ratio, and if there is a need to view videos without the black bars, just press the fit to screen button.
Keeping with the theme, here's 2 shots I encoded of the IB HD sample. 16mb for 1min of video....that should be around 2hrs of video to stay within the 2gb limit.

Blue ray is 1080p , 720P is sufficient, BUt I get your point
I'm waiting for a 16gb microsd. In the meanwhile I'm encoding some of my 720p hdrip from mkv format to mp4 at the leo resolution (800 x 4xx). Whit the program I'm using I can select bitrate and size. So what is the maximum bitrate I can select? And what is the maximum file size the htc player can support?
Thank you.

I would recommend nothing more than 2000kbps for video. Max file size for video is 2gb.

Ok...
I have some important news for all those wanting to transfer videos across to the HD2.
Firstly and for some reason we all probably all realise now the screen resolution 800x480 is not supported by the graphics chip on video playback. i.e. I have found all my ipod/iphone encoded videos work so much better on the HD2 both with the embedded video player and also TCMP which I have as a stand alone video player. The maximum encoding for the ipod is 640x480.
Any-time I encoded at 800x480 I have always had problems of stuttering and pixelation and framming. Instead encode your movies at what the maximum ipod/iphone settings is at which is 640x480 someone please correct me if I am wrong.
The TCMP plays them smoothly with the -200ms audio delays setting to get the video and audio in sync whilst the embedded video player also plays them very smoothly albeit with the slight audio sync issue but you can zoom in and out now..
It seems just like the audio player which looks like an ipod/iphone copy the embedded video player is very much a copycat of the ipod/iphone video player with support only being what the max ipod video setting is at.
I guarantee this works for all your videos, etc. It's becoming more obvious that the software engineers at HTC used the iphone video/audio software and ported it across to the HTC whilst not utilising the bigger resolution which is a real shame.
Curious to hear what others think...feel free to reply with the above settings..
Yup can now confirm the 640x480 encoding resolution works and works bloody fast on the HD2 video is flying along and very smooth too. By the way the audio is nice and loud too as well..
Hope this helps others users wanting to watch a nice movie on their HD2.
Furthermore, the audio/video sync issues with the standard embedded video player are now very difficult to notice... I have watched a few videos now they seem very close but need others to confirm on this..
Maybe you should do a search for the video encoding threads in the Leo section...we've been playing 800x480 videos just fine for sometime already. Need to set a delay to compensate for the audio sync...but otherwise it's pretty good.

Disagree....the 800x480 works but with stuttering and glitching. This method above does NOT produce any glitch or framing or pixelation. The method above produces stunning quality video which is very fast and does not frame...
Try it for yourself...
I am starting to believe that HTC are aware of this but advertise the unit on the screen resolution thereby confusing users that they should encode their videos at this maximum resolution. This does not work but instead encoding them for the ipod/iphone screen resolution works with fluid video even in very fast scenes and clear loud audio which looks to me to be very in sync.
Please don't throw the topic off with an unnecessary post...

Hehe...if you believe so strongly, then I won't do anything to change your mind.
I've personally done a ton of 800x480 videos converted from HD videos, and they play great. But since you believe what you are doing is the only correct method, then don't change....self belief is very important. All I can say is that we've owned the HD2 much earlier, and have tested many ways to get video working the best way it can. However, if offering an alternative is wrong just because you feel your way is the only way, then I apologize.
However, if you're open to other possibilities, I would suggest doing a search on video encoding in the HD2 Themes and Apps subforum....you might be pleasantly surprised. I myself have posted rather often in several video encoding threads there, but I'm not so shameless to do any self promotion.
Cheers and good luck!

kenkiller said:
For me, i use Winmenc...currently at 0.81 iirc. You can find it easily via Google.
it's a tad complicated at first, i've attached a couple of profiles below if you wish to try, just unzip into the profiles folder on Winmenc.
One uses the baseline profile, this allows videos to show up in the HTC Album. The other doesn't, for videos you don't wish others to view easily.
Of course, the usual caveats come in, if you wish to get a high quality encoding, garbage in = garbage out, so decent HD media is a plus. So far I've not seen the need to go above 2000kbps for video. Setting to process priority to highest and multithreading to 2, I can get realtime 1:1 encoding via 1-pass from my slowpoke AMD dualcore for 720p videos. 2-pass and/or 1080p media will obviously require more time.
@Shawn_230, let's start over again.
First, that encoder you're using has a bitrate limitation, making even HD encodes no better than a tiptop dvd encode. The resolution is there, but the bitrate can't do the resolution justice. Also, it doesn't seem to do higher processor priority and multithreading, which would account for your sluggish encoding time.
I am in the process of uploading an avi dvdrip (that being the usual trend in dvdrips these days) and it's corresponding HD encode in mp4 format. Also, one very important reason for transcoding is that due to the myriad video codecs out there, there will be a time when you encounter a certain video that doesn't play on the HD2, regardless of the player used. That's when encoding will come in useful.
Meanwhile here's 2 screensnaps of the video I'm uploading...
This is the SD screenshot.

mkv is just a container (like avi). Inside mkv there can be several streams (video and audio). These streams can be encoded with different codecs (DivX, H264 and so on). Stock player now knows mkv container, but if it doesn't know codec of the stream inside it can't play this stream (video or audio, or both). That's all

Kraiton and ILPruny rip actually But they're pretty amazing and x264
ok so proper 720p mkvs lag big time but dice player can play mkvs pretty well which are of lower resolutions.mp4s play fine even 720p(in stock player aswell)
funny thing is my stock players seem to recognize riddlera's x264 mkv house rip(gives a thumbnail for the video) but even starts playing it for 3-4 seconds but then stops and gives a msg "this video cannot be played" but the same video plays like butter on diceplayer.
makes me think that its all about encoding issues.
can you check whether the video on the 4th post of this topic plays on your stock player plz.
so you mean in xxkpe even dice player with the hardware acceleration and all cant play 720p mkv???

Since the MX player has not been Updated to work with Newer Android Versions ( i.e. 4.4.1 / 4.4.2 ) .
It Shows "" unsupported Android version "" and won't even open , MX player is my fav. Player BUT until the dev.s update it . I found the REPLACEMENT APP https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.archos.mediacenter.videofree
Also you can Download All Codecs Plugin that allows to have more Video and Audio codecs supported in Archos Video Player.https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.m4rk3t.libcopy2&hl=en
I DO NOT OWN THE APP or AM RELATED TO DEVELOPER , THIS IS JUST A SUGGESTION :good:
You could also try DicePlayer (click me).
The interface and functionality feels very similar to MXPlayer.
MX Player Developer(s) are already working on the issue. As I understand, they somehow have a hardcoded check for Android Version (not related with maxSdkVersion) which prevents you from using it on 4.4.1/2.

It doesn't play everything. Some .mkv files and some .avi files crap out.

Is that so? I haven't actually had any issues with most files (though i must admit i've not really played tons of videos on this phone)

Haven't had much luck with VLC, it just craps out and makes my screen unresponsive when opening a .mkv that isn't a HW supported codec.

I have a 3yr old daughter that loves her Kindle Free Time on the Kindle Fire HD (2012). However the one thing that sucks is that when we are in a car she doesn't have access to videos that come with Kindle Free Time. I only have a 16gb Kindle and want to be able to put a few videos onto the Kindle so she can have something to watch in the car.
Most of my movies are 4-6gb 720p MKV rips. I want to re encode to mp4 and have smaller file sizes so I can fit more movies onto the Kindle. I am using Handbrake to do this but was wondering what would be the best settings to hopefully get the file sizes around 700mb and still have at least DVD quality. I assume the streaming videos that I see like Blues Clues and Sesame Street on Kindle Free Time must be about DVD quality.
What are the best settings you guys are using to make smaller files?

Use Any Video Converter or Xilsoft Video Converter to convert files in your pc.

The best app to use that I found is Handbrake. I was using Any Video Converter before but, could only fit like 3-4 videos on the KF at a time and then my brother told me about Handbrake. It converts the videos quickly and has presets that make it very simple. It also makes them very small so you can fit many more on the device at once.
HandBrake is a tool for converting video from nearly any format to a selection of modern, widely supported codecs. It is Free and Open Source. Multi-Platform (Windows, Mac and Linux)

Try different presets.

For kids movies I use ipod preset. Bad quality, but enough for them and I prefer lower size. If you prefer quality, try high profile. Try first both profiles in a short video and choose.
