So right now I am using Super Video encoder to encode my movies so I can watch them on my wing. I use TCPMP to watch the movies on my phone. The only problem I am having is the video looks sub par. Its all pixelated and doesn't look crisp like the original copy. So does anyone use Super to encode their videos and know the best settings or know of a better program to use?
Yeah I use SUPER © video encoder. Its freeware and its real easy to use. Just search for it in google and you'll definatly find it. These are the settings your going to want to use for TMO-WING:
-Output Container = 3gp (sony ericsson)
-Output Video Codec = Mpeg-4
-Output Audio Codec = AAC
Video Settings:
-Video scale size = 320:240
-Aspect = 4:3
-Frame/sec = 12.5
-Bitrate kbps = 576
-Options check boxes "High Quality" & "3gp v4/v5"
Audio Settings:
-Sampling frequency = 44100
-Channels = 2
-Bitrate kbps = 24
-DVD Language = default
Then drag and drop the files in the empty box below, click on "Encode files" and there you have it.
*If you dont see the button to start encoding the files then you'll have to adjust your display properties to a higher screen resolution.
Hope this helps and if you have any more questions... holla holla holla holla holla holla...haha Late.
I tried this and I get unknown format. What are you using to play the videos? I guess I will have to mess around with the settings some more.
Im using Windows Media.

Nothing of this value change speed of video
I experience a constant lag (every 5 minutes) when listening to MP3, do you think change the settings of buffering can help?
Those settigns worked perfectly for my Diamond 2! First time a full .avi worked smoothly! thanks!

I've had this when the built in equaliser is enabled. I solved it by not using the built in equaliser but instead using Audio Booster.
I have no improvements with those settings :S Its the same but it isn't bad.
But if i see the benchmark the video is much smoother than playing it.
Edit: maybe a bit faster after opening a new video

Do you know the REG setting for this so that i dont have to set this over and over again when I flash a new rom?
No REG, settings is located in the config.xml in the Application Data folder...

no difference
Hi, I see no difference or at least no discernable one, however I am using stock latest rom, i reencode all video and use wmp as hardware encoding is enabled through wmp api.The way you can play a decent quality with a decent bit rate 500 and above whereas coreplayer will struggle to play anything smoothly above 150.
An example. download any recent 350 lost episode and load and play it in coreplayer, this will be around 620x352 at a bitrate of 60-120 depending on the download. It will play and not too badly but will skip and freeze now and again. Reenode it using Mp4ForHD v2.6 using a higher bit rate and 800x640 res (phone standard res) and it will play perfectly in WMP even though you are using a higher res and bitrate as the hardware encoding is ised. There is no real need for coreplayer as long as you can be bothered re-enocding, if you cannot then you will have to put up skipping video.
coreplayer is greate for music and low res video as it has a lot of codec support however, A good purchase with this in mind.
WOW!!! It works on my Raphael..

It works on my Raphael, no more lag on playing over-resolution(bigger than VGA) video..
PDA : HTC Raphael 100 GSM (HTC Touch Pro T7272)
ROM : Official from HTC v1.90
CorePlayer : v1.3.6 build 7427
Different setting : Normal buffer size is 1024 instead of 992
D3D ATi driver installed
Thank You Very Much
For touch HD, just tick "Disable AVC Deblocking" at advanced tab, "soft drop tolerance" to 0.3 sec, and let other settings defaults. Enjoy your hardware-like video player.
P.S: Other settings must be default. I tried with the settings at the first post, just got worse.
512kb of video buffer is pretty enough, and I couldnt understand why no audio buffer and higher video buffer, since I have got even better results wih 256kb video buffer and 64 audio buffer.
Regards.

Thank You so much for this. This setting is perfect! I played with coreplayer settings so many times but this one is by far the best!
Ok I have just found out that if I set the soft drop tolerance to 0.600 I get smoother playback than 0.300

default settings
Hi, can someone post the default buffer settings, I have mucked about so much with them I have forgotten what they are. Note however that the soft drop change seems to be produce the best overall results in that you get the longest amout of smooth play in between frame drops and minor freezes. This is going to be different though depending on what we are playing. I wonder when discussing issues like this we should all agree on a movie or TV episode we can all download and then we are all reading from the same book. It should also be noted we are all probably using different roms which also adds another layer of complexity to it. I am currently using GRIDEVO 1.7B based on 28011 os, those that claim to have smooth playback, what rom are you on and what are you watching, ie whats the bit rate, size of file, codec used and image size.

Its the animated movie 9. I downloaded it from another site, due to forum rules I cannot post it here.
Am I allowed to post megaupload links of movie clips on here?
feck it
feck it, i'm going to get a HD2, these problems will go away then, my contract is up soon.
Hello guys;
I hope you can help and tell or provide me with the best media player application for my x2 to play videos and music. I think the embedded player is not very well and a bit slow.I have this Kinoma play but it doesn't play anything and asks me to buy it !!
any idea?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=647
indeed, sometime ago a separate X2 forum was introduced, which you seem to have missed
I couldn't find an existing thread on this subject (at least not on a very cursory search) so for the time being...
Mod. edit: not X1 related, moved to X2 general
if you want good video...
Just download "CorePlayer.v1.3.6.Build.7427"

thanks thanks man
that's great works like a charm
also i tried divx ppc and it worked nice, plays Avi and divx movies like charm
conduits pocketplayer is excellant for music. built in equalizer and DSPs for effects. nice easy to use interface. theres a few skins on the forum if you do a search. i dont watch videos on my phone so not really sure how good it is for video playback.

theres trial versions around if you know where to look
Hello,
I would like my app to simply start the build in media player and play a video. I've seen lots of information about creating a VideoView or creating a SurfaceView and using the android.media.MediaPlayer class but this is not what I want. I'm looking for something simple like
Code:
intent video Intent = new Intent(SOME_ACTION, PATH_TO_VIDEO);
startActivity(videoIntent);
is this possible?
Thanks,
Sam
Edit: I don't know what I was doing before but it does seem to work exactly like that
I just did
Code:
Uri uri = Uri.parse("path_to_video");
Intent videoIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, uri);
startActivity(videoIntent);
I feel kind of stupid now haha. this thread can be deleted
Hello
I'm currently making an app and i want to spruce up the login screen with a video like Spotify currently has.
It plays a small video in the background, behind the login buttons/logo etc and simply loops the video over and over again.
I've tried to mess around with a VideoView and a MediaPlayer to control it, but i can't seem to get a proper grip on it. And especially not with setting the correct size of the video dependent on different screen sizes or looping the video.
If anyone got an idea/link/knows how Spotify does it, i'd love to get some inputs

For the loop part you could try alarm manager. Now I know this is not the ideal solution for your case, but it works well if you want to loop a function
PHP:
PendingIntent pi;
BroadcastReceiver br;
AlarmManager am;
private void replay() {
br = new BroadcastReceiver() {
@Override
public void onReceive(Context c, Intent i) {
//The method which runs video
}
};
registerReceiver(br, new IntentFilter("com.your.packagename") );
pi = PendingIntent.getBroadcast( this, 0, new Intent("com.your.packagename"),0 );
int video_length =exact length of your video in seconds;
am = (AlarmManager)(this.getSystemService( Context.ALARM_SERVICE ));
am.setRepeating(AlarmManager.RTC, System.currentTimeMillis(), 1000 * video_length, pi);
}
call this replay method at the place where you are calling the method to play the video.
Worth a try, might work

Did you tried to use MediaPlayer.OnCompletionListener to restart a video? To be honest I'm not sure, that this way will provide smooth restart.
I can't download Spotify, because it's not available in my country, but maybe Spotify uses something like looped AnimationDrawable?
AnimationDrawable works great with short animations.
