Best way to play Movies on Rhodium :)

Dear Friends!
I spent last two weeks trying different app's to get best solution for Movie experience on our beloved Rhodium/Tilt2/Touch pro2 device.
The main idea was to get divx movie to play smoothly and to get best quality as possible.
As we know H.264 codec (mp4) is hardware supported and it gives best results.
So considering that, I got best video experience with inbuilt HTC player that supports hardware acceleration for video.
It does not have a lot of options, and scrolling forward and backward is a little cumber stone, but it provides the best picture so I think (IMHO) is still the best choice.
When Choosing right software my main goal was to have as few steps as possible.
I found that the easiest way to do the conversion is with ImTOO Video Converter Ultimate 6. (http://www.imtoo.com/video-converter.html)
I tried a lot of different software, Trial and Freeware, and ImToo proved to be the best from lot of different perspectives. So it's my number one choice for this task (and also some other video encoding stuff.)
STEP1. Subtitles (Skip to STEP2 if You don't need them)
In case English is not your native language, you would probably (like me) want to have some subtitles with your movie:
You will need to convert *.srt and *.sub subtitles to *.ssa type, so You could get 'Outline and Drop Shadow' effect.
'Subtitle Workshop' (http://www.videohelp.com/tools/Subtitle_Workshop) seems perfect for that. (It has all needed settings and also Batch conversion option)
Press Shift+Alt+L to get to Settings/Output menu, where You can set the subtitle settings like Font, Color, etc.
Choose SubStation Alpha (*.ssa)
Border style: 'Outline + drop shadow'
Font:Arial, Bold, 22, (works best for me), encoding...
Load Subtitle and save it as SubStation Alpha format or use Batch Converting option under Tools/Batch Convert options (Ctrl+M) (if You have more than one subtitle to convert):
-set the source folder for subtitles, output folder, FPS and SubStation Alpha format.
STEP2. Encoding to H.264 format with Imtoo
a.Load your video file
b.Load the profile in general video format/ 'H.264/MPEG4 AVC video'
and set conversion settings to
Video: (Manually enter!) Video Size 800x480,
Note: If You enter for example 576x432 instead 800x480, there will be no sound on your HTC, only video. Don't ask me why, it's the same thing that happens to lots of people with many different encoders and it has something to do with AAC settings detailed, which will also change, when you change video settings....but I am not enough in to hardcore encoding, to understand what is the reason, I only know that this problem appears to be very common when converting for Rhodium with different software....
Bitrate 256K, Frame rate 25FPS(should be same as sub file FPS!)
Audio:Mpeg-4 AAC, 44100, 128K
Now You should set/add Subtitles:
Go to: Edit/effect/Subtitles. (Note: only Ultimate version of Imtoo!)
Add Sub if not already there, and set font to Arial, Style to Bold and Size to 22 (or smaller if You prefer)
Convert the movie and transfer it to Your Touch pro2
That's it!
Enjoy playing Your file on HTC.
Final Output size of the file is not the same as stated Output Size, nor it is the Bitrate. Imtoo bug I guess...But File plays smoothly enough at least for my taste.
Try and let me know how it works for You!

What i do is open you tube in chrome and i already have chrome extension installed on chrome.http://www.chromeextensions.org/music-videos-photos/chrome-youtube-downloader/. So when i play video i get options to save video in all the available formats and the Mp4 video i get is usually 20mb or 25 mb (sometimes less than that) in best quality.
Other thing you can do is go to this site http://keep-tube.com/ and downlaod video in MP4 format in great quality.
I think the best option is chrome extension because you get best quality video/audio with less size
Give it a try.

I don't know why you do this, just download core player
I watch LOST season 6 on my phone just download jackos s2 rom and disable manila for better performance

I use Pocket Divx Encoder to make xvid files of my favorite videos and then play them with CorePlayer using the QTV setting for best quality.

I use DivX Player. It was made for QVGA but works just fine on TP2, just the menus & fonts are small. It'll play DivX encoded AVI's that must DVDRips are.

Video playback (vegacomb)

I'm wanting to put a few videos on for my sons, I cannot get the audio codec right, so far I've tried ac3 and aac in mp4 container with avc video, the video plays back fine but never plays audio. Tried a couple of different players (dice player just force closes) but they part without audio too. Any one know what audio codec the default video player accepts?
I can stream from my pc using plex and it works fine but would rather play from local sd card

Have you tried Mobo Player? Works fine for me and i play all types, mkv, avi, mp4
Plus they have lots of codec packages to add if havng any trouble,
Worth a try.

Thank you for the suggestion! I have been wondering the same.
I wish there was a simple way to side-load codecs onto Android so the default video player supports more

No probs.
Let me know how you get on.

Try this from modaco.
Afternoon all
As mentioned in a few threads, I've been tinkering with encoding settings in Handbrake in order to get the optimal settings for converting video. After spending a few hours with this last night and this morning - what a fun Friday night, huh? - I think I have nailed it. This profile will allow you to watch files using the native video player - you don't need anything like RockPlayer, or VPlayer. This means that they should be hardware accelerated. You can use something like RockPlayer, but framerates will suffer if you're using HD videos. I tested this using the 1080p MP4 version of Big Buck Bunny as the input file and it works very well - I'm going to give this a shot on some of my other videos today.
I have attached the profile in question.
EDIT: Rename the file to "Vega.plist" before importing (take off the .txt extension) - I've only just realised that modaco will not let me upload PLIST files...
Don't try to double click this, as it might try to open in Quicktime - no idea what it will do on a Mac! To import it open Handbrake, go to "Presets" and click "Import". The profile export feature is experimental, so I'll list the detailed settings that I used in case it does not work.
Firstly though, if you're not sure what you're doing in the "Picture" tab, have a read of this quick primer on Anamorphic video. If you want to scale down a 720p or 1080p video to match the Vega's resolution, set Anamorphic to loose, modulus to 16, and set the video width to 1024. For any videos that are not HD, or if you're not sure, just set this to "Strict": this will make sure that the video always displays in the correct aspect ratio, but you won't be able to scale the video down. Don't mess with the "Cropping" settings unless you know what you're doing.
I'd highly recommend scaling 720p or 1080p HD videos down to match the Vega's resolution - it drastically reduces the output size:
The original version of Big Buck Bunny (1920*1080): 885MB
Strict anamorphic - no scaling (1920*1080): 388MB
Scaled down to 1024*576 with loose anamorphic: 128MB
The Vega will play 720 or 1080 files, but you won't see that extra detail so there's no point in wasting the extra space on your SD card, IMO.
Detailed settings - in case the attachment fails. If anyone finds any optimisations for this, please let me know!

This is going to vary, depending on the audio tracks in the source video (for example, a DVD may have multiple languages and each of these will be a different audio track) - I have not yet tested multiple audio channels on the Vega, so I highly recommend only adding one audio track to your output file.

Subtitles:
This will depend entirely on whether you want to include the subtitles from the source video. This can get a bit more complicated, so I'm not going to cover it here; if your source has subtitles as a separate track (i.e., soft subs not hard subs), you may need to take some extra steps - do some research on this over at afterdawn.com or doom9.org.

For those that are interested in the more nerdy side, I started off by copying Handbrake's built in "High Profile" x264 settings. I found this page, which mentions that the Xoom only supports the baseline x264 profile, so I turned off the advanced x264 stuff. However I realised that even though the hardware is the same, the Xoom is not the Vega. So started re-enabling the advanced options one by one to see if any caused a problem. The only one I found that caused any issue was weighted P-Frames, which seemed to make videos judder slightly.

Cheers but I shouldn't have to convert for my Optimus 3D as well as the Vega, one video should be able to work on both

[Guide] Optimal Blu-Ray Setting Using Handbrake

My original post:

Please read and watch the above links to have an understanding of what your actually going to do.
This little guide will basically rip your BD to HD mp4 using h.264 and aac as codecs playable on our vibrants, and future mobile devices using 1280x720 resolution.
Step I:
1. Launch Handbrake
2. In the menu on the right-hand side, select the iPod Legacy preset
3. Select your video source by clicking on the Source dropdown menu
4. Select the destination and name for the file once it has been converted (both the .mp4 and .m4v extension work for Android)
5. Confirm that the container is set to MP4 File and that Large file size, Web optimized, and iPod 5G support are unchecked
Step II:
Picture Tab:
1. Keep Aspect Ratio Checked
2. Depending on the source BD or DVD keep the width and height compatible with the resolution of device.
3. Anamorphic “none”
4. Modulus “16”
5. For BD cropping the letterbox keep automatic checked "I really dont mind the letter box".
6. To Actually get the 1280x720 in the height and width go to cropping. Change the top, bottom, left and right to 0. Then go to size and adjust accordingly. You will have letterbox though.
Step III:
Video Tab:
1. Set Handbrake's encoding settings by clicking on the Video tab
2. Confirm the Video Codec is set as H.264 (x264)
3. Framerate (FPS) should be set to Same as source
4. For BD check Target Size and change it to 2999 (MB).
Step IV:
Video Filter Tab:
1. Don't do anything here.
Step IV: Adjust audio settings
1. Set Handbrake's audio settings by clicking on the Audio tab
2. Confirm the Audio Codec is AAC (faac)
3. Mixdown should be set to Stereo.
4. Change the Samplerate to 48
5. Change the Bitrate to 160
Advanced Tab:
This will Be the biggest difference from TGA_Gunnmans' post
Encoding:
1. Reference Frames “3”
2. Maximum B-Frames “3”
3. CABAC Entropy Coding “Checked”
4. 8x8 Transform “Checked”
5. Weighted P-Frames “Checked”
6. Pyramidal B-Frames “Default (normal)”
Psychovisual:
1. No DCT-Decimate “Un-Checked”
Analysis:
1. Adaptive B-Frames “Optimal”
2. Adaptive Direct Mode “Automatic”
3. Motion Estimation Method “Uneven Multi-Hexagon”
4. Subpixel ME & Mode Decision “Default (7)”
5. Motion Estimation Range “24”
6. Adaptive Quantization Strength “Slider in Middle”
7. Psychovisual Rate Distortion “Slider in Middle”
8. Psychovisual Rate Distortion “Slider all the way to the Left”
9. Partition Type “All”
10. Trellis “Encoded Only”
11. Deblocking “Both boxes Default (0)”
Step IV: Save as a preset for future use
1. Click on the Presets menu and select New Preset
2. Enter Mobile DVD or Mobile BD in the dialog box and click Add
3. "Mobile DVD or BD" will now be saved as a preset and listed on the right hand side in Handbrake to be used in the future
Step V: Convert the video and copy to your Mobile Device
Some people may be using different settings and thats fine. But these settings for me produce a smooth, stutter free experience even underclocked at 800MHz.
I Have also no problems with the file size playing under 3GB.
WARNING!!!
Depending on your own computer this conversion can take a VERY LONG TIME. I have an intel i7 920 with 12gb ram and a 2 hr. movie took 2 hrs. to convert.

[GUIDE] U8800(all versions) Best Encoding Settings For Video Playback

Hello there guys!
Today I'm gonna share my encoding settings that I think are the best for movie/tv-show/anime watching on ideos x5(pro/non-pro) screen.
Note: Encoding is a very heavy task for a computer. Make sure that you computer has at least 2 CPU cores and 2 gb of RAM before proceeding.
For example I have an Intel Core 2 Quad Q9300 (4 cores at 2,5 GHz),4gb RAM and Win7 x64. Re-enconding 20 minutes of anime/movie takes about 5 to 7 minutes. Output file size is about 160-180 MB.
Anyway.Let's get started!
-----------------------------
1) Download a program called HandBrake. You can get it here:http://handbrake.fr/downloads.php
Note: If you have 64bit OS get the 64bit version of the program,as this will greatly speed up the encoding progress.
2) Install HandBrake(hope you know how to do it ).
3) Run HandBrake
Note: In Windows in case it shows up an error when trying to run it, try running it as admin.
4) Find a movie/tv-show/anime file to re-encode + proper sub suitable for your needs
5) Take a break here and get ready for the hard part
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
1) Click the Source icon located in top left corner in HandBrake interface. Press select video file (I won't do a source->folder example since it's pretty much the same.)
Select your video file. Usually the extension of your video file will be something like .avi .mp4 .m4v .mkv etc.
2) Now in Output Settings (Preset: Normal) make sure that Container: is set to MP4 File
Now click the browse button located a little bit above and right and give a name and location to your output file
The hard part really starts here...
3) In Picture Tab set Anamorphic: to None
See how Width and Height changed and you can now edit their values?
Now change Width: to 800 and Height: to 480 (that's x5(all versions) screen resolution)
Make sure Keep Aspect Ratio is UN-CHECKED
4) Switch to Video tab (leave Video Filters Tab as is)
Set Video Codec: to MPEG-4 (FFmpeg)
Framerate (FPS): Same as source (leave as is)
Constant/Variable Framerate don't make a difference to me but feel free messing around with these options if you want to.I just leave the default one(variable) selected
Now in Quality select Avg Bitrate (kbps):
Enter a value here from 850 to 950. The higher the value the better. I use 920 which I find very good. The only difference here is that in dark scenes higer values will give a better image,where lower values (i.e. 850) will make the image look a little "pixelated-like". Increase it even further (i.e. 1000-1150) if you are not satisfied with the result in your phone's screen.
5) Switch to Audio Tab
Remove any audio tracks you don't want by selecting them from the drop down menu and pressing remove in order to save up space
Now select the audio track you want to keep.
Change Audio Codec to AAC (ffmpeg) (2nd dropdown menu)
Change Mixdown to Stereo (3rd dropdown menu)
Leave the rest as is
6) Switch to Subtitles Tab
If you don't want any sub simply remove any sub track like you removed the audio track previously.
If your video file includes a sub stream(usually .mkv files have one) that you want to use for sure,select it from the track list and check forced only, burned in(This will hardcode the sub into the image.You won't be able to remove the sub after that.If you don't want that,then just remove the check from this checkbox) and finally check default.
If your video file has no sub track/stream but you have a working .srt or .sub file then continue reading.
7) Chapters Tab is useful for some people. I just just un-tick create chapter markers.
In advanced I dont' enter anything
8) Switch back to picture tab and revise your settings (also do this in video,audio and subtitles tab).
Correct any mistakes.
When you are ready press the Start Button located next to the Source Button you used to load your movie.
Encoding should start. Your pc may stop responding fast during re-encoding of your video file.That's normal. Just wait for it to finish.
After encoding finished test your re-encoded video in your computer to test if it is as you want it (in terms of video/audio quality and subs). Well you can't tell much about the video quality by viewing the video in your computer because image will be stretched to fit computer's screen resolution.
9) Now copy your re-encoded video file to your phone's sd card.Better make a folder called movie or something. Paste the movie there. Place any additional .srt subs you may have here.
Download MX Player from PlayStore. Install it.
Open MX Player and load your video. Make sure HW Decoder is in use. Load any sub stream you may have.
10) Turn your phone into landscape view and Enjoy!
-----------------------------------------------------------
Well,that's it!
I hope my settings will proove useful for some users who want to use their phone more like a media center device.
Don't forget to click thanks if this helped you and also comment That means a lot to me!
If you disagree with some part of the guide,have another opinion/solution then feel free to comment and make this guide even better.
Cheers!

Guide is well written but why re-encode?
The only reason in my opinion is the free space, since our phone can play standard definition (didn't try HD) videos with srt subtitles (software decoded). If it is a space problem go with a bigger SD card re-encoding will cost in time...
Also keep in mind that any re-encode from a lossy codec to a lossy codec will cause loss of quality (even when re-encoding at the same bitrate/specs)

By re-encoding to a lower resolution it may use less cpu power to decode it, and therefore less battery (could be wrong though, this may not be that noticeable).
But yes, our phone can even play HD videos (they seem to have a low framerate on my phone, but I think it is related to a slow sd card).

@priestx
Well to tell the truth I don't do it for the free space.
I watch a lot of anime but there all in .mkv format with softcoded subs at 720p resolution and a high bitrate (1200kbps avg).
Trust me you can't watch this even with hardware decoder.It's laggy. Of course software decoder served me quite well some times but that was for easier to handle videos(like standard avi files).
You are absolutely right saying that re-encoding costs in video quality and time,but I think it worths re-encoding in some special occasions you want to watch something somewhere else apart from your computer and u8800 specs fail to playback the video correctly. Also due to screen's size it's not very easy to spot quality drop ,but only in special scenes. The advantage of re-encoding to me is that I can use hw decoder no matter if I am in 2.3 or aurora and get proper video playback.If I don't re-encode usually I won't have a hw decoder option in 2.3 and in aurora playback will be laggy sometimes even with hw decoder.
@FlashTH
I also think it uses less power but I didn't do any tests to proove it.
I don't think that slow hd playback is due to your sd card(I have a class 8 and still a lot of 720p videos shutter/lag a little).
Anyway,thanks for your comments and opinions

[Q] Image Truncating on a 720p TV

Hello!
i am using my nexus player on a 720p TV but i am not viewing the complete image, it truncates the image, like if the nexus player is fixed at 1080p so the image received through HDMI is 1080p, but the TV is only able to display a part of it, (centered)
i installed xbmc/kodi and it also does not let me change the output resolution, also says 1080p (though it has the option but is read-only)
there's no option to change the output resolution manually
any help?

Currently there's no way to change the output resolution, but I should add that the Nexus Player always renders at 1080p internally, and then scales when it goes to output over HDMI. So, even if you're outputting at 720p, XBMC will report that you are rendering at 1080p.
Have you confirmed via your TV's display info that you're actually getting a 1080p input signal? If you're just getting overscan at 720p, that's expected and all the native apps are (supposed to be) designed to handle a 10% picture loss. Are you only noticing things cut off in XBMC, or are you missing parts of the screen in the rest of Android as well?

I didn't noticed until I started installing apps. all sideloaded apps have missing parts, Chrome, Sideload Launcher, xbmc, File Commander, etc...

WORKED!
thanks xBIGREDDx, my TV settings where wrong, it was set to Zoom instead of scale to fit.
