DVD playback on TyTN II

I have used the method published by mrvanx on his site with great success.
In fact I used this with Coreplayer 1.1.1 on my original TyTN, and the video and sound were great.
I am getting the same results on my TyTN II.
I have just done the upgrade to Coreplayer 1.1.3 and will run my stored files with it.
The only problem is that the ripping and conversion takes forever, but the results are worth it.

I hope this helps those new to their TyTN II,s

Thanks mate will give it a try!
MM

thanks for the tips. giving it a go now.
however... the stable autogk version i got is from '95! Is that version ok or should install a more recent beta version?

I use DVDx to rip DVD's into avi's directly.
It's also free and unfortunatly it too takes a lot of time to finish.
At first it is a bit searching for the best settings, but once that's done, they are stored and reapplied when you open the application in the future.
There are other freeware applications to rip DVD's, but most of them can't seem to rip it as a whole (the different .vob files on the DVD can't be ripped into 1 movie file).

DVD Playback also covered in this thread, also full of post's with other ideas.

Can you share what settings you have used? I've tried several, and it never completely finishes making the conversion. It thinks it is finished about half way trhough. No errors, just not a complete video.
BTW...I am trying to create one from a set of VOB files on my drive, if that makes any difference.
I'm in fact trying another program right now to see how it works. It says it's going to take a littel over 3 hours. The DVDx said it was going to take quite longer.

Video Recording

Video recording app now in the market, tested and works ok overall but no sound. To stop recording hit back button. Very buggy!!

watts da name of it

yeah it's working well.
very, very buggy mind you, alot of force closing but, hey, it works i suppose.
quality's not too bad but it's really slow, so as long as you keep still it works fine
i'll get a little video uploaded to show you.

Been trying to find it myself, all it has in the program file is a bunch of blank pics! Man its a start but buggy as hell!!!

on the website it says there's gonna be an update in the next 2-5 days so lets hope the bugs get ironed out. also i'd quite like to see more stable recording and sound
but maybe i'm asking too much

Interesting. Pity about the bugs and no sound, but it's a start, which is very good.

Good start. Bring on the updates.

Keeps asking to update! very annoyin

i saw this app today, for some reason decided not to download it
but its a "good" start
hope to see this being updated constantly.

How could u not even try it out .
I grabbed it as soon as physically possible.
It needs a lot of work.
And yes, MJPEG
Really needs some work haha.
EDIT: I just realized that my post has a lot of smilies

Update Released!
New update with a much cleaner interface. The videos are stored(i use this loosely) onto the sd card in /.org.android7/videorecorder. Uses about 16m for 10 seconds of video. The audio works as long as you also have the VoiceClient installed, it's not very loud but it's there.
After opening the app press record to open the recorder window(your not recording yet) hit menu-record to record and the same to stop recording.
I'm curious how the recording is working? It would be nice to at least be able to re-assemble the recordings on my machine.
In the video folder there are two file types blah.3gp [16kb] (appears to only be the audio) and a group of blah.jpg [~225kb] images (tho these are not viewable even on my pc?) any ideas?
The videos it makes are not viewable on any of the other viewers on android either. (the only thing it's really missing)

Well, it seems to get better with updates.
2 things i realized...
1) When you replay a video after you record it, it plays like its on fast-foward or 2x.
2) If you delete a video from your phone, the video gets deleted(Why is 30 seconds of recording 32 Megs by the way?) BUT the audio files from the video(which the file type is .jpg also, weird?)stays in the anroid7.org folder so they never really delete, you have to manually go in there and delete them when you USB to your comp.
Either way, i consider the effort and applaud him for the first video recording app of its kind on the android OS, i see potential in the future.

built-in video player?
I'm confused.. I know g1 doesnt have a built-in icon for video player but i just noticed that i can open a video file using an astro file manager (unless astro has a video player itself).. it has an auto-rotate function too and looks like the Video Player in the Market.. hhmm.. And currently, I dont have any video player program installed in my G1... Can someone clarify this?

Ya, I've tried rebuilding the 'video' into something useful. The Audio file name is xxxxx.jpg.3gp (amr i believe) and the images 225k each ~2/sec don't appear to actually be .jpg, nor can i get them open with .gif .bmp .jpeg .png as extensions
this is on windows, maybe they'll turn up something more promising on *nix.

I quit testing this.
It's not encoding nothing only take fast pics and save de audio on 3gp format.
It's good to see that we can take pcitures so fast because this show us the real posibilities with this cam on HTC G1.
Google has to build something using the internal h264 posibilities of decode/encode(i guess) to encode the pics and audio on real time(too heavy processing ?)
Till that time....just wait and see

It CAN.
WinMo guys did.
Prove me wrong.
HTC Touch Diamond T-mobile G1
Main specs:
Qualcomm MSM7201 CPU Qualcomm MSM7201 CPU
192 MB of RAM 192 MB of RAM
3.2 MP Camera, no flash 3.2 MP Camera, no flash
OS: WinMo OS: Google Android
Videorecording:
352x288x30fps None.
So:
1) It is definately technically possible.
2) Hey, WinMo does Android, the open source, WTF???

Where's Our Video Player?
Does anyone remember TCPMP / Core Player on WinMo?
Why can't we have that satisfaction on our G1's???
Is it the hardware-decoder thing? Is it OTW?
Anyone know what's up?

There is a video player, It's called Video Player....

MKV files bigger than 4Gb? How to split them to copy into FAT32 4Gb size-limit SDcard

I don't know if it's already been posted or not.
You know that our SD cards (internal and/or external) is FAT32 formatted, so the FileSystem size limit is 4Gb.
This means that if you want to copy on your phone one file .Mkv bigger than 4Gb you can't
Some users have tried to split the Mkvs in several files less than 4Gb using tools like MkvMerge, but the Phone doesn't recognize the files outputted.
But if you split the file on a Linux OS (Ubuntu i.e.) the files generated works perfectly on the phone.
I have tested it on Ubuntu using MKVMerge, starting from a 4,8 Gb Mkv file splitted in 3 files (2Gb-2Gb-800Mb), files copied on the phone and played perfectly with the default Video Player.

There's a much easier way as well, though I've only tried this once:
If you connect the phone in Kies mode (in the usb settings) and it connects properly you will get a "GT-I9000" Device show up in my computer instead of the standard lettered drive under "Devices with removable storage". It seems that you need to have Kies running in the background (with the icon in your system tray) but not fully open for this to work (not entirely sure on this as Kies is finicky). When you double click on the GT-I900 device in my computer you will get options for the internal or external sd card (assuming you have one installed).
If you copy and paste a file onto either of the sd cards using this method, it uses the Kies background service to check the file. If it detects a media file that might not be supported it will give you a warning which you can choose to ignore and copy the file anyways. I've found that if you copy a larger than 4gb mkv it uses the Kies service to split the file and put it on the sd card automatically. This takes a while as it has to split/convert the file and then write a fair amount of data to the sd card over usb.
You may be confused when it finishes as it only shows 1 file, it is smart enough to hid the others. The size of the file seems to be the amount that the original one was over 4gb (ex a 4.7gb movie will show as 700mb), however if you check the space avail on the sd card you will see that it contains the full movie. I transfered a 4.7gb 720p rip of "Tropic Thunder" this way to my phone and it played just fine on the samsung video player.
Let me know if that works out for you, I havn't seen anyone else try this.

how about formatting the SD card as Linux EXT3 or 4
the use smb mount, so when it does the mass storage mount to windows you can simply drag and drop, without having to cut any video into 4 GB chunks due the FAT32 limitation?

Wow if this is true it is some pretty slick thinking ahead by Samsung both on the phone and PC side.. I think I will try this just for kicks, have a 6 GB MKV right here.
EDIT: Could not wait any longer... thing was maxing my CPU for 1/2 hour. I am pretty sure this is doing some kind of trans-coding.

This is exactly the test i would like to do, do you have already tested this way?
But, atm, i haven't any SD card to use and (most important) i would like to know if after having formatted in i.e. ext4 i will be able to re-format in Fat32.
And however, do i need a particular Memory Card Reader to read one ext? SD formatted card?

Yea just make sure that it's 720p and not too high of a quality level.. I know it doesn't do quite all MKVs as the format is not yet entirely standardized. It seems to handle 4~5gb 720p mkvs just fine though, they just take FOREVER to transfer.

I don't know that the phone would accept a file system other than fat32? Would be easy to find out though.

i have some videos that are larger than 4G
i'll definitely give it a shot to test the Linux partition theory.
I'm almost positive it'll work, as the "Lag Fixes" solution all uses the EXT3 and EXT4 partitions anyway.
but in our case we want to use it natively for video playback, and be able to mount it when we want to use it with Windows
re: question about formatting back to FAT32 after EXT3
Yes, it's possible and safe to do so.
As soon as i have more time in my hands, i'll give this a go, unless some one beats me to it (some one with more time on their hand)

Haha yea it's software encoding, I think having Samsung encode it so it could run on your GPU would be a bit too much to ask lol. A 4.5gb movie took my quad core about 25 minutes to encode and then transfer.

Have you tried this yet? I've googled all over. Cant find solution how to format and use external SD like this. Found this thread and posted in it as well http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=975803

u can download mkv smaller than 4gb..and graphic will be still great =)

Its not just movies I want to be able to place on sd card. I can't split those files. And I don't want to convert existing mkv files to a lower resolution, spend time on that.... its not a quick process to compress the resolution. I much rather be able to copy what i have now to my phone, instead of having to modify. ...

I use http://www.bunkus.org/videotools/mkvtoolnix/
You can set the file size and even remove unwanted subs and/or audios.

I have mkvtoolnix and have used it. Thats not the question, but thank you

Anyone knows?

not losing hope. It will be useful for others, I am sure.

compressing the file would help
as in making DVD sources with less channel or less quality can drastically reduce the file size without too much sacrify to HD quality
say for example choose 720 instead of 1080
2 channels instead of 6 channels
or even if you keep it 6 channels make it 160 instead 320, or maybe drop it lower to even 128 kbps
use 44 instead of 48
use 25 fps instead of 30fps
etc...

[Q] Yet another n00b thread; new Nook owner, very lost. tl:dr it for me?

I know there's a lot of threads like these, but everything I could pull up seemed really out of date, or didn't have the information I need. The Wiki was good, but just gave a list of all the builds out there, and I can't sort out which one is currently best for what. I'm hoping someone can give me some quick answers:
tl:dr: Have a brand new Nook Color. Video will be 95% of what it's used for, little to no web browsing or games. Would like to use it to watch movies/TV shows streamed from my NAS or off the SD card. 5% of use will be viewing photos directly off my digital camera's SD cards (using converters in the cameras).
Tell me what OS/Software to use. Most files are .mkv format, usually 720p.
Currently, I've got Nookie Froyo installed on the SD card, and after a lot of frustration of how the heck to actually get files onto the SD card while also having the OS on there, I found that bootloader NookColorUMS thing, which even though it seems like more steps than should be needed, has allowed me to copy files to the SD card with the nook connected via USB cable.
I'd like to have the OS installed internally, so I'm free to swap SD cards around to quickly move data around. Also so I can pull the SD cards out of my cameras, stick them in the nook, and browse the photos.
Currently I'm using Rockplayer Lite, which plays the 480p files fine, but craps out trying to play 720p. It also is very annoying in that it it has no back button in the UI that I can figure out, so you have to use that tweek to force the status bar to always be on top, which is annoying. If there's any way to get the stock player to play the files, that would be best. I know it should be possible, my Samsung Moment plays all these files naively with the build-in movie player. But the Gallery player won't play them on this version of Froyo that I've got on here.
My questions boil down to:
-What OS should I use if I'm going to go through the trouble of figuring out how to install in on the internal memory?
-What's the best video player/codec pack?
-How do I browse/play files off my shared drives on my computers and NAS unit?
Thank you for any answers you can give, or any directions you can point me in!

Hope this helps.
-What OS should I use if I'm going to go through the trouble of figuring out how to install in on the internal memory?
CM7 - try phiremod nook
-What's the best video player/codec pack?
I've been using handbrake to convert all my video to MP4 using these settings.
-How do I browse/play files off my shared drives on my computers and NAS unit?
PlayOn works pretty good. Depending on the source video type i get some sync issues.

Easiest install method
#1 Install Clockwork Recovery Mod to internal memory from your bootable SD card.
#2 Drop your desired rom on the root of a non-bootable SD card
#3 Restart into Clockwork Recovery Mod by powering on with n button held down
#4 Backup!
#5 Flash zip from sdcard
Now as far as video... I think you might be disappointed. You are going to need to reencode each video for the nook to get best results.
I recommend Phiremod Nook 6.2

Thanks for the reply's everyone. I'll get CM7 installed tonight.
I'm REALLY hoping to not have to convert videos to be able to play them on the Nook. That was basically the reason I DIDN'T get an iPad, I don't want to have to convert videos into a specific format to play them. All of these files played fine on my Moment, I guess I made the mistake of assuming they'd work fine on any Android device.
Is there no way to just be able to browse a network, and view/play videos and pictures on them? It seems like it should be such a basic feature.
What other good video players are available besides Rockplayer? Or, how would I install additional codecs to get the build-in video player to work?

I think Vitalplayer Neon and Mobo player are pretty good for the nook.

TL;DR; ?? Reaally?!?
Not reading (repeatedly the same instructions over), being impatient and rushing headlong into things is the easiest way to muck things up. We're just lucky NCs are impossible to be permanently bricked.

CM7 latest nightly (n86 onwards) has the newest fix for audio and video, while being on the .32 kernel and have support for an Overclock kernel. Smoothest vid playback I've ever seen, without any mucking about in re-encoding in Handbrake, etc.

I use moboplayer. 720p vids are a touch-n-go, some are OK, some are not. But if the HW acceleration (of the .32 kernel) doesn't cut it, moboplayer has the soft-decoding option.

Just install, no other tweaking necessary. All extra files (mentioned in older thread abt this) have been in the CM7 ROM since n30s or n40s (or n50s, I can't remember really ).

[Q] How to recover/open a temp_video?

Yesterday, I was attending the UEFA Europa League Final and I was filming the starting ceremony.
I didn't know that I had a merely 1.6 GB left on my SD card. When the memory was full, the camera app did the unthinkable (FC). I entered a file manager and saw that the video is there under the name temp_video but without any extension.
Can you please tell me how can I recover it?

Nope, that doesn't do the trick cause, you know, the file is not finalized one way or the other by the phone itself.I guess I should edit the file somehow on the PC.

Thanks for reply i'll keep the files, but there must be a solution (

Various free video conversion software should do the trick. I've had success using the conversion feature of VideoLAN's VLC media player to 'convert' to .mp4; the video is full size, with sound, and at the original quality. The VLC media player could even play the temp_video file as-is, without any conversion...the conversion was only necessary to play with other players/to burn to DVD.
Hope this helps.

Found a utility that does the trick
I had the same problem. Some people claimed vlc would work, but it didn't. So I tried out this tool: http://grauonline.de/cmsimple2_6/en/?Solutions:HD_Video_Repair_Utility
It worked when I gave it a reference video (video shot from the same phone), but it only saves half the video unless you buy the license. After watching the video, I determined that I don't need the second half for the price they ask (29 euros), but at least I got half. If the author would only charge say $5 per video I'd probably buy it. In lieu of that, I simply joined the file together to create one file twice as long and re-ran it. In windows "copy /b file + file combined_file". This worked as a stop-gap, but the sound got really off at the midpoint. So, if you really want it to work right, I'd suggest paying for the license.
Credit to this person for pointing me to the tool.

DId you bought programm and got better result with or without added longer file? Cause for me full version got and maybe thats all there is to get- all ok but video or sound is going at different speed. So just readjust that in video edit programm. Also in options can select to divide files in seperate audio and video files and then combine changing speed only for video in video editing sofware.

Recovering the temp_video file
Dear all,
i know it is odd to response to a "long time ago" post, but i wish that this may help people who are facing similar problem.
I have just tried the app from the Google Play, MP4fix.
It requires the corrupted file, temp_video and a well-recorded file, i am not sure is it better to be a similar length for the well-recorded?
After processing, you can freely play the recovered file or paid to save the file.
Which means you can use another phone to Rexxxx while the phone is pXXXing the video.
However, it is better to pay for the developers who make this app.

VLC Works as of This Writing
I had this problem. Went looking for a solution and found this article mentioning VLC. On a Galaxy Tab A (purchased new in late 2017), VLC was indeed able to play it as-is. Renaming the file with the mp4 extension (no conversion) meant that even the Samsung Video Player could play it. Maybe Samsung improved the readability of the temp files.

I got the fix
I know this is 7 years later, but I just got this problem and got an actual fix for it. Go to your file manager and click on DCIM then on Camera then scroll all the way to the bottom and press and hold on your temp video and press share. Share it to your google drive and then once its on your Google drive, you can download it if you want to back on your device. Worked on my s7, hope it works for yall
