problem converting flv to wmv

This is one of my fav websites
http://www.milinkito.com/los80.php
I can copy the videos to my home pc and they work and play fine
I'd like to copy these to my xda2s
What software program can I use to do this? What should the video and sound freq and bitrates be? Has anyone been successful in converting flv to wmv or even mp4?
thanks
Windows Media Player 9 series
v. 9.0.1 build 14132

Ok, I'm able to convert the video to wmv, but no sound
I see that the converter uses an mp3 audio codec
when I need to be using windows media audio 9
I'm using cinemaforge
I found out what audio codec superman returns trailer uses (which sounds great on my pda) - and that is the windows media audio 9

Success!!
Although it is a two step process
Using Cinema Forge I need to convert the flv to either mpg or avi
then when that is done
I then run Windows Media Encoder 9
(which has a pocket pc setting!!)
convert that to wmv and there ya go

That is good, i like some clips from youtube.com, thanks for the info
Offtopic:
You are really all in one, post question then answer it

Too bad that he posts in Blue Angel upgrading etc. (I see no relation between BA upgrade and movie conversion)

Software to Play PC Quicktime Movies (.h264 .mov format)?

I have many TV programs/movies in quicktime format. Is there software for the Kaiser (tilt with htc rom) that will play .mov quicktime movies WITHOUT first converting the .mov file to some other video format? If so, how is the quality and what software do you use?
Would I be better off converting to some other video format to obtain smoother viewing?
Thanks, Ron

Coreplayer is about the fastest. Its like TCPMP the next gen

Depends on whether they're ASP (the simpler) or AVC (the more advanced). TCPMP may play the former (with the AAC plug-in). For AVC, you'll need CorePlayer.
Keep in mind that Nero Mobile Pro is MUCH slower and MUCH worse than CorePlayer - that is, don't even think of going the Nero Mobile Pro route. I'll very soon publish the H.264-related excerpt of my forthcoming Multimedia Bible - I'm in the process of making some SERIOUS, related tests.

AVI Playback

Hi!
I m trying to get my TTYN II to playback avi files but cant seem to make it happen... I've tried downloading the Core player but that gives an error saying it doest have the MPEG-4 codec? Where do I get the codec's from?
Thanks,
Neil

it shouldnt ask for mp4 codec if you are playing an avi file. different formats. did you download the latest version of core player? make sure you get the one for pocket pc and the latest version is 0.72RC1. avi works fine for me.

AVI is just a file format, it has nothing to do with the codec. So there can be MPEG4 AVIs. Actually most are (DivX and Xvid are MPEG4). MPEG4 videos don't necessarily have the .mp4 extension.
Don't know how to install the codec though, don't have a Kaiser yet lol.

If you installed the core player (http://www.coreplayer.com/) then you should be able to play avi files. What version are you using ?
Try to uninstall and reinstall it and try again.

I'll be watching for responses as I'm also wanting to play MPEG 4 files (with avi extensions - from ATI's Multimedia Centre Software on my desktop PC) on my TyTN II. I'd prefer just to use a codec to provide this functionality in the built in version of pocket media player (what I currently use for wmv files).

Many thanks!
Thank you for that format expansion cab link texarcana, and it's free too. Will try it out on Cristmas day if I have the time.
[Edit] Alas it didn't allow playing of my ATI Multimedia Centre produced mp4 AVI files - back to wmv for me.

So does this work any better than TCPMP at playing back mp4 files?

Better ? Prolly not.
But instead of installing another player, you just add some codecs with it instead.
Anyway, my personal favourite is the core mobile player (which isnt free)

While I still haven't published the "full" Multimedia Bible, the H.264 Bible at http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=The H.264 (a.k.a. MPEG-4 Part 10 and AVC) Bible (in the Wiki) explains a LOT of these issues (what MP4 files are, what they can contain, what players and what codec packs are needed to play them etc)

Ive been using Pocket DivX Player 0.8 and it play7s avi files perfectly

its not bad for freeware

good video converter?

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:

FLV Player

Hi guy's im looking for a FLV player, or better yet a FLV to mp4 converter for my kaiser. I could just as easily convert the flv files on my pc, but im using you tube play and from time to time i find myself downloading the videos as flv's, i cant blue tooth these files to anyone else because of the file format, but having a converter on my kaiser to convert the files there on the spot would be great and then i could just play them in windows media player and share them easily,i had tried using TCMP and installed the plugins all of them, and still no go with getting them to play, they can play fine in you tube player but you cant forward or go back just pause and play and of course stop, im sure this has quite possibly been asked lots of time's but i cant find the answer. so any help would be greatly appreciated

FLV player
I have the same problem, can't play .flv videos.
Any solutions? Thanks!
Kaiser WM6.5 Shifu 4.2

FLV Player...
Core Player can handle most of the *.flv files , but there is a *flv files with different codec which it can`t... I don`t remember the codec name though...

roko
thanks

I think Youtubeplay also allows you to search videos in a nice friendly Windows Mobile application and then play the full FLV video ( not miniscule MPEG4 versions ) with its own player. This application is written in the mix. net and C so you need a runtime. net, v2. Overlay video player hacked out of TCPMP and FLV part is based on FFMPEG

i have a solution
convert the video by any video converter to flv or mpeg but you have to select the right video size ( 320 x 240 )
