Currently I am using CloneDVD Mobile to create movies in DivX format (making them around 800~900kbs). I am also using TCPMP to view my movies that are on my MicrosdHC 6GB card. They play pretty good but I do get some video jumping from time to time...
Has anyone used other formats, is something else other than DivX better? Perhaps a iPod format (but is there a Quick Time for WM6)?
What about WMV and the Kaiser, I am thinking it is not better than DivX, anyone tried DVD's converted into WMV?
are you making them 320x240? when I scale down a regular divx movie that starts out around 700 megs and turn the resolution down to 320x240, they work perfectly for me.

Yes I am making them fit the Kaiser screen and it's pretty good viewing (matter of fact my kid is watching a movie now on my phone, CURIOUS_GEORGE).
It's just sometimes I get a little pause (~ 1 second).
hrmmm. which player are you using?
TCPMP Player RC2 I believe. There a better Divx Player?

The commercial CorePlayer, but it's only marginally better (as of now, at least), when it comes to plain DivX. Not so with more advanced formats like H.264, where CorePlayer is MUCH better.

i use pocket divx encoder to encode my movies...they look great
Just bought coreplayer, it does play my Divx files better.
I use DVDshrink and FAIRUSE. It compresses my movies down to around 300-350kbps avi file. They look and sound great.
i used Encode360 for my zune, appears to work well with my kaiser
I use pocket divx encoder (PDXE) and CloneDVD mobile. I've made hundreds of movies for my PDA's and have found that 320x240 with total bitrates under 500k play and look excellent, even on my 4" VGA iPaq4700 and Archos boxes. The difference between 475-500 vs 700 or more is minor and you just have bigger files and sometimes jerky playback with the higher bitrate settings.
I have TCPMP and Core players and they both perform the same with these, TCPMP has more plug-ins for streaming vid like youtube I believe.
Just my experience.
I'm using TCPMP and I can't get bigger files to play smooth for the life of me...any suggestions?

I second that Especially the new Zune is really nice. You can connect via your router to sync your music. I just hate the zune syncing software it's such a pain in the ass. I wish we could sync with WMP. I mean come on seriously.
Pocket Divx encoder
I had the same problem with my touch. TCPMP would not play large video's .avi even though it supports it. I used Pocket Divx Encoder to reduce the .avi according to my screen size and now I can watch any .avi without any problems and the audio and picture is still incredibly clear. I max out video and audio quality still with no problems during playback.
Pocket Divx Encoder is free
Hope this works for you and enjoy your video's
I use CorePlayer (based on TCPMP ) to play my Divx files (700 to 900 Mo each resolution 660*360, datarate 1010kbps) without any specific Mobile transcoding and it plays quite well with the right settings, with some rare glitches (but i guess it will never work flawlessly until we have the real Kaiser drivers).
TCPMP is good, but Coreplayer is faster on the Kaiser from my own experience.
The only down side about Coreplayer (aside from the fact its not freeware) is that it cannot play AC3 sound unlike TCPMP (due to open source licence)
why i dont understand it...when i had my standard att WM 6.0 rom that came with my tilt...i watched avis and mpeg4//divx movies CRYSTAL CLEAR....and thatt was with no htc ca driver or none of that ****. And now ive upgraded to WM 6.1..first duttys hybrid then L26 and now garmins...and each rom has the same problem...old tcpmps crash and when i use the repack tcpmp app and it works....i have SLUGGISH and chopppy fps when i watch avi movies and mpeg stufff. How is this possible with all the new drivers and such....it was crystal clear to watch movies with WM 6.0..but with 6.1 its choppy and ****ty playback? has anybody found a better fix for this other then converting the movies to sccreen resolution?
have lookedeverywhere for pocket divx encoder but unable to d/l it can anyone post please?
Try xvid4psp. It's free, fast and has enough options. I use MP4 iPod 5.0G settings for Kaiser.
thanks will give it a shot

Sorry, my previous post was meant to be reply to felixthecat.
So, to make things clear:
- XviD4PSP is not media player for PPC.
- XviD4PSP is software for converting videos. You can find it here.
- MP4 iPod 5.0G is just one of the format settings in Xvid4PSP.

I use Core Player for videos. Videos converted with XviD4PSP using my settings does not play well in WM player. You can try it with some other settings.
Here are my current settings:
- Format: MP4 iPod 5.0G
- Denoise/Sharpen: Disabled
- Brightness/Contrast: Disabled
- Video encoding: XviD HQ Ultra
- Audio encoding: AAC-LC ABR 128
I don't know what you mean with "bigger vids", but I use it for converting my divx/xvid movies and shows to MP4 and it works well. I think it supports even DVD files, but i didn't try that.
Last time i checked it took 6 minutes to convert some 30 minutes divx show to MP4 (Athlon X2 4000+, 2GB RAM, GeForce 8800GT).
One more thing about Core Player
Core Player with default setup gives me audio out of sync. But you can adjust that in options.
i tried those settings and didn't get a good result
works now i have upgraded coreplayer ... thanks alot

I use it also. I watch moives on my phone and it works fine playing full screen and BT stereo.
try the new win 6.1 that att put out for the tilt... it might be more stable since it is the new shipping rom
I'm looking a good video converter that compresses my movies so i can put them on my Tilt. Most movies i have are around 700MB and i need to get them compressed, without killing the video quality. Any help would be great, thanks.
What bitrate and codec are you using? I encode my videos at 320x240 using 1000kb DivX, and 2 hour movies come out around 400MB.
Also i can't use .avi, must be MPEG format after conversion. but my bitrate is 1000 and 320x240 is the size. Im going from .avi to .mpg

Your right... it does lol. Sorry, for some reason they were opening in WMP so i figured they didn't work in TCPMP.

Not a problem I used TCPMP for a while before I swapped over to coreplayer. Glad I could help
I use Pocket Divx encoder - It works great - Reduces the size to fit my screen, Avg video is 300 mb instead of 700 mb but you can still play with the quality to increase quality (Which increases file size) or reduce quality (to reduce file size). You can choose to play with video or audio qualities. I like to max out these settings as I like a crystal Clear picture on my screen with nice clear sound when I play through my car stereo.
Pocket Divx encoder is free - Just google it and try it for yourself.
I'll try that... also i should point out that if you use the D3D drivers, the videos play great. And to even make them near-perfect, put the frame rate at 15 instead of 25 or whatever. Then its near perfect for me.
SUPER is perfectly capable of enconding any flavour of mpeg (2,3,4 you name it...)
For every conversion I use Mediacoder. Whether it's for my Kaiser, PSP, an iPod, .or just for converting vids or music, this is my choice.
It's not really user-friendly and you will have to know what you're doing (since it lacks a good wizard IMHO). But once you master this program, the options are pratically unlimited.
Best of all, it's free!
I've used almost all the converters already listed here. But for me, the best one is still Xvid4PSP.
Originally used for the PSP, it has several presets built-in but you can use advanced settings also.
Very easy to use, and does a good job.
Give it a try:

Hi... Which video Converter is the best for Diamond, and which video format is best (mp4, 3gp)
thx
No needs special converter for "Diamond" , You can use any video converter..
or use other players like CorePlayer so u can play without convertion..
I m using Ulead VideoStudio to convert files, in fact just to make them little
smaller to save place and I convert them to MP4 and windows medial player can play them too...
either use coreplayer for .avi or a 3gp convertor for x-vid quality but resized to 3gp (best looking imo)

1- you dont need to counvert video file anymore jast use coreplayer
2- mp4 have greater video and sound quality than 3gp
PocketDivXEncoder
Although WMP won't play the encoded files, a lot of other player will. And it does a fair bit of resizing (480x640). Above all, it's free and works brilliantly. Download it here! Cheers
What is the best codec and the best codec settings for playing/convering video files?

I'm also interested in this question. While no conversion is needed with coreplayer, in action movies it can get choppy. Since there's colors that are lost, some trimming could make it a smoother and space efficient file, while maintaining video quality.
I tried many setting and found something between small files and good quality:
with Ulead VideStudio (or other software)
MPEG-4 Files
24 Bits, 192 x 144, 12 fps
Frame-based
MPEG-4 SP Video: 200 Kbps
32000 Hz, 16 Bit, Stereo
MPEG AAC Audio: 64 Kbps
This setting is good for other device as well..
go with the xvid/divx encoding
so i woould like to convert hd films(mkv container) into dovx or mp4 to watch on my diamond(of course i will change resolution to 640x480), i am not sure what program do i need to do this,also i am not sure what bitrate to use(600 enough??) and what format is better divx or mp4??
also i have some divx films is it better to change them into mp4(again what bitrate and aspect ratio??)?
thx
Movie converters....
Have a look here... there are loads of solutions.
what about codecs and bitrate and aspect ratio???
now i am using xilisoft video converter
I just dump the complete 600MB-700MB. DVD rip into the phone and play it as is with Core Player. No conversions or resizes.
Very good quality. Very good.
Greets.
so you just rip them into divx and copy them into diamond and than wathc?? what about subtitles?!?

Dont use subtitles so I dont know.
Just rip the DVD and dump the ripped file into Internal as is.
I use Coreplayer to play and it works awesomely.
For converting DVD's Spb Mobile DVD is a really functional converter. I don't know if it still has that audio bug in Vista, but it works great on XP.
For other video files use Coreplayer (1.3 is the latest version), consider it as the VCL player for the PC (if I may compare).
i have coreplayer 1.2.5 not sure how much better 1.3
i use vista and i have some dvd-r at home but when i rip them ant than put them on diamond i have black flags at the botom and up(probably aspect ratio problem?)
1.3 doesn't differ much from 1.25. And you might wanna change the zoom to "stretch to screen". Pixel aspect ratio is best on "auto". Be sure to put the video output to "qtv display" and enable the "TytnII driver mode". I got every movie going flawlessly on my MDA IV. (Maybe some frame drops on the 1st 30 seconds but rewind and enjoy the video...)
it is enabled and i also use stetch to screen but there is stil black flags at the botom and up?!?!
and i cannot get why i cannot convert hd films into sd(640x480) films?!?

I'm using SmartMovie, which is the only player for WM with subtitle support as far as I know. It comes with its converter on the PC side. See Lonely Cat Games web site for details.
