Video Encoding HD2

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!

Ok....here's one of my past encodes.

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.

[gti9003]xxpe mkv playback help

well people seem to be reporting mkv playback works fine on xxkpe gingerbread but for me it doesnot work.the native player plays mp4 fine but no avi/mkv support tried more than 10 files.
people who have flashed the xxkpe firmware can you please report if it works for you.thanks

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???

MX Player Replacement App

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.

Both are COOL
Agreed , +1 For VLC , But In terms of Features and Interface , i Would Prefer Archos Video Player ,
It gets the Subtitles Automatically ,
Gets the Info about Almost Any Video File
And
The Interface is AWESOME
JUST GIVE IT A TRY , :good:

VLC for me too, the interface is a bit crap right now but it's only temporary right?

XBMC that works FLAWLESSLY

So I been researching the new Amazon Fire TV and they have figured out how to sideload XBMC on it, but most versions give playback issues except one that was made or the OUYA. The OUYA and Fire TV are both built on Android, so I decided to try the build on the note 10.1 2014 and it works flawlessly!
I've tried and experimented with several versions of XBMC and always had issues with it in some way or the other, but this one is without fault. Give a whirl!

I am very interested in the fire TV if it can output 24p via xbmc. Otherwise, I'd recommend it to others but the stuttering it would cause on my TV would be unbearable.

Suddenly today XBMC gotham beta 3 won't open. Tried uninstalling and installed back, nothing, the tablet is stuck for 5-10 seconds and then prompts a message that "XBMC needs to close". I don't want to run SPMC as this is compatible with 12.3 and I would like 13 database compatibility.
Anyone else experienced this? Is there a gotham version of SPMC?

I run XBMC on a Vision3D right now, with my media being served up from a Synology box and it's quite nice. It would be sweet to primarily move to the FireTv as I'm a prime member and must run video full screen through a browser, and though I have a 50/25 wired connection I frequently need to force movies into HD when streaming through Prime.

I'm rocking a raspberry pi tweaked to within an inch of its life lol. Playback is flawless. Navigation is actually great too (I'll post a review I did in a minute) but I want something new with a bit more power so I can use a nicer skin aside from amber. I'm serving media from a Synology Nas as well, the DS112, pretty cheap and very solid.
So yh, I'm hoping the fire tv can do 24p as its perfect otherwise.

It's just one of dozens of ways of getting media from something to something potentially via something else. Somebody above mentioned using a NAS (Network Attached Storage device) which has their media on it and (I'm assuming) using a XBMC client on their N10.1-14 to access that content. They could potentially then stream that content being received by their N10.1-14 on to something else (EG: TV). There's a ton of ways of accessing and presenting content and XBMC is just one of many.
I use Plex which does pretty much the same thing but supports my smart TVs (Samsung, Google TV) natively so I don't need a device in between. When I'm traveling I use my trusty old AllShare Cast dongle. I have a Windows Home Server vs. a NAS and run PlayOn on it in addition to Plex server. PlayOn provides access to a ton of web content (including Amazon Instant without needing Flash) in addition to integrating VLC to playback content on my server. PlayOn uses the stock video app which means I can use pop-up-play, multi window, and Smart pause. When I'm working on office stuff I'll usually have a movie, TV show, or the live news running in a pop-up window to keep myself amused.
Here's some screen shots. The first three are PlayOn with AIV or Hulu playing; the second two are Plex. Both support Chromecast but I don't use it. With so many ways of doing the same thing there's no right or wrong solution.

Can someone confirm 10-bit h265 HW codec support for me please?

Hi. I've been eager to buy this phone but there is a feature I would like to confirm first, and is the HW video codecs support, specifically for 10-bit HEVC (x265/h265).
The best way to confirm it is installing the MX Player app, then going into Local Player Settings > Decoder > HW+ video codecs and see if it is checked in the list and says "Hardware accelerated".
The window in the app looks like this, from my current phone. As you can see, it lacks 10 bit h265.

I would be very grateful if anyone can confirm this for me please, to proceed with the purchase. Sadly I can't verify it since it will be an online purchase and I don't know anyone who owns it. Thanks.

Hello if you don't mind I would like to ask you a question. I am also considering to buy this phone. Im not a gamer but I do watch a lot tv series on my phone. My current phone (Pixel 2) support HW video codecs 10-bit HEVC. But since this device does not support that, does that mean
1. will it consume more battery when playing x265 10bit videos on this device?
2. will there any video playback issues related to smooth playback?

Hi!
1. Yes it will consume more battery since it has to decode the video in software, thus using CPU power.
2. Probably yes as well. I got a Redmi Note 8 because it was on sale and it has native support for 10-bit HEVC. But if I run a video with that codec on software mode, cpu usage goes up a lot, the phone gets warm and playback is not smooth a lot of the time. 10-bit HEVC is pretty resource intensive.
I was on the same boat as you since I also watch a lot of media on my phone and some of these come with this format. So it was a deal breaker even though I liked everything else about the Poco M3.

Thanks a lot for the response mate, that's really helpful. Initially I was going for Poco X3, however due to my budget issues I was considering M3. But after I got to know this, it is kind of a deal breaker to me as well. Thanks again!
