MP4 playback issues

Hi,
I am trying to understand why I can't playback certain MP4 files. I have tried Coreplayer (1.3.0), Pocket player (4.1), WMP and album and none of them are able to playback the files. As they are MP4 files, I thought they would be able to play without needing to be re-encoded. I have patched with Neo's beta 1 driver pack. Details of the media are below:
===========================================================
This one appears to be a straight forward MP4 file. It plays in the players, but only the audio, the video playback is blank. The coreplayer website says it should playback H264 AVC files, so I thought it would play this.

I guess the one below doesn't play as it is a .ts file rather than straight MP4. Core player recognises it, but wont play it, apart from showing the first few frames. Is there a player that would do it?

Have you compared the file properties you can't play with the file properties of a file you can? It can give a clue of what's the problem... A bit rate, some format...

As far as I know MP4 is only a container. The streams inside are coded using a codec (e.g. H264, etc...) much like divx coded stream in avi file. So maybe the file you can't play is coded with some codec the player does not understand. Try reencoding it with MP4forHD (can be found around the forum) to x264 stream in .mp4 file and see if it works.

Hi,
sorry for no replies, i've been v. busy at work . I will try re-encoding it and see what happens, but it would be better if I could play them straight.

Perfect video convertion on HD2

I am going to convert all my videos to look as good as possible for when my HD2 arrives.
So could anyone help my fill out this chart of the best video format and properties:
Container =
Encoder =
Frame rate =
Resolution =
Video bitrate =
Audio encoder =
Audio bitrate =
Thanks in advance =)

Thanks! But can't you convert better videos on a HD2 with another converting software given that it has better hardware? If yes what will the concrete difference be in the convertion?
EDIT: I have tested the linked software and it returns far from perfect results. I have my own paid converter and would like to give it a try, but I am still not sure if it should be wmv, divx, mpg4(with h.264) or something totally different. I am unsure about the bitrate as well.

Another question that might solve all of this for me. Will the HD2 be able to play this video smoothly without needing to convert:
768x432, wmv, bitrate: 2364kbps, 29fps
and will it be a good idea to convert to 800x480 for better image quality nontheless?

I suppose that is bitrate (2364kbps) is werry high for smooth playback on HD. You must transcode your video with lower bitrate. Touch HD has no right video driver to force video decoding without use a CPU. This is a big problem.

Without owning the device and knowing what hardware acceleration it has and what drivers htc decided to buy for it this is all speculation. But if I were you, I wouldn't waste time converting anything yet. I think there is a strong chance that the HD2 will be able to handle that bit rate.

The best converting program is MeGUI
dont use other cheap looking programs, use the real one.

you can download the video and watch it in your HD,

I did converted this video to fit in 640*480 because I wanted it to play in my ipod classic as well, but if you want it only play in your HD then set screen size to 480*800
if you have any question regarding MeGUI (The Best and Only One), ask here I will help you. and listen to my advice, if you want quality use MeGUI

720p showoff video

Yeah i know its a demo video that comes with omnia hd's.
But it works perfectly on our hd2's.
Nice video to show to your friends
http://forums.samsungi8910omnia.com...ions/1853-helicopter-demo-video-download.html

YAY! Thanks a lot for this. I have seen this running on an Omnia Pro and it looked really cool. It really might be a great demo video to look at on the HD2.
One thing though: This is no 720p video. It's only 360p and it even gets upscaled on the HD2. If there would be problems playing such a small resolution source on the HD2 I would seriously doubt HTC until the end of all times.

I ran a benchmark test using a topaz with Leo rom Tess 3.9 + 2.5 sense,
video/audio information (according to VLC on laptop):
640*360, 30 FPS, mp4v
mp4a 44100 Hz
best playback in order
1. coreplayer (default settings, installed to internal memory)
2. wm player
3. htc album
coreplayer benchmark results;
avg speed: 77.10%
vid frames: 2995
audio samplle: 4393489
amount of data: 47521 kb
bench............- .................. original:
time: 02:09.487 ............... 01.39.833
frame rate: 23.130 ........... 30.000
sample rate: 33929........... 44100
data rate: 3.01 Mbit/s .......3.90 Mbit/s
conclusion: rather better sound with stuttering video than no stuttering video but stuttering sound (when CP ran test)
hope you enjoyed this little test, and lets see what the big league has to say about how it's supposed to run

on Toshiba TG01:
Average Speed: 194.17%
Benchmark Data Rate: 7.57 Mbit/s
Original Data Rate: 3.90 Mbit/s

^so Toshiba is 2-3 times as quick as HD2? lol

No its 2-3 times faster than a topaz running a leo ROM, which is to be expected.

I am downloading some movies right now in Mp4 format HD quality, 1280x720, i want to see how it looks on the HD2.
I dont think it should be a problem for this thing to play a 1.4 gb file, right?
BTW the Helicopter movie looks great on this beauty

Good luck , first of all i could not play those files.
Even coreplayer does not play anything bigger then 1008 pixels (program limit)
And second , it doesnt really make sense to play a higher resolution then the display can handle.

okay
what do you recommend?
i couldn't find a lower resolution.
convertion? with?

oh...ok thanks a lot for clarification.
I should have kept reading carefully.

No, but as some have mentioned -it would be nice if the HD2 COULD play higher resolutions as you wouldn't have to convert before transfering to the phone. I myself don't have so much of a problem with doing a conversion -but I can see the wish for just transfering what ever files you already have -and they'll be able to play..

You could try this for conversion;

First one works best for me. I get some weird artifacts on the other converter. Don't know why..

thnx
gonna give it a try,
thanks a lot
watching movies on this thing in the car would be nice i think
i convert it, i try it, i watch it, i like it.
picture and sound on this beauty, is a beauty
thnx niknik76

thanks for the video however doesn't play well on my coreplayer. i played on win media looks great. on my other phone(vibrant) looks sick.

thanks for the vid, looking forward to trying this, i've not seen a movie on my phone yet......

FYI, this isn't 720p. I doubt very much it would play any HD stuff without proper hardware.

Converted Video Audio Issues

When putting a video onto my Galaxy S Vibrant the video works but I have no audio. The audio works on my PC but not on my phone. I followed the below instructions after:
[HOWTO] Convert videos for Samsung Galaxy S using Handbreak.
but the audios still doesn't work. Instead of pure silence however it sounds like the audio is distorted and extremely slow sounding to the point where you cant make anything out. The following is the Audio format:

GPU Video Playback issues - Screen shuttering and vertical lines (T585)

Hello everybody,
i have a new SM-T585 with Android 6.0.1 (EU) NON-Root and problems with some .ts videofiles from my TV-Headend-Setup.
When i try to play those files with H/W Accleration (MX-Player, BS Player, Kodi) i get vertical lines and screen shuttering (the whole screen with menue). When I try to play those files with SW-Mode the artifacts are gone but i have poor fps-performance.
My Honor 7 with H/W-Accleration has no problems with these files.
Here is one example of the .ts file:
Code:

Has anyone of you made the same experiences?
