Ok I am a newcomer so many of you may think this a simple question ..but .. how can I transfer my dvd films onto my kaiser? I have read a few threads about converting video formats and have downloaded a copy of Pocket Divx which I hope is a step in the right direction. What now? I admit to being confused by talk of bit rates etc so can someone provide a simple step by step method? What about copyright protection - is it possible to copy feature film dvds anyway, must be way I suppose. Optimistic thanks in advance.

It converts to WMV so no need for DIVX.
Try reading some of these guides. www.videohelp.com is a great website full of guides.
If you want though there are programs out there that can directly do this for you and optimize it for mobile phone screens but i havent encountered any that are free. PocketDivxEncoder is useful if you already have avi movies that you want to re-encode into a more mobile friendly resolution and/or bitrate.
Hope this helps.
edit: Im assuming here that you want them in AVI's. You can play AVI's on a pocket pc with TCPMP. Google for it if you dont have it.
thank you for the link Slave1, had a look at the software, no mention of WM6 compatability - will it work, any idea?
thank you too for the link ga41. Will have a look see later when I'm not supposed to be working. (I'm self employed and my boss has work avoidance guilt issues.)
Try a converter named 'SUPER'...it converts video to any format and lets u control the frame rates,size etc....
For any other converter u already have :
1.] Start the converter software > open any video u want to convert (either drag and drop OR using File>Open>....)
2.] Adjust the settings for video conversion....for the kaiser, Size: 240 x 320 pixels,Frame rate : 30 fps,Format of video :H.264/MPEG 4/WMV (these r the basic settings,play around later for advanced settings)
3.] Press convert for the finished product and transfer it to ur Kaiser....Enjoy!!
[Copy right protection depends,if ur converter can load the video and convert it then i dun think there shoud b a problem....]

I doesn need to be WM 6 compatible....jus the encoded video should be supported by WM 6....H.263,H.264, MPEG4,WMV are supported formats for WM 6....if u want divx support try the player TCPMP....
i use (and can recomend) http://www.spbsoftwarehouse.com/products/mobiledvd/?en

Anyone try it yet? Downloading now...
Installed last night over v1.1.3 without issue. I just have coreplayer installed, no TCPMP or flash bundles. I went to m.youtube and picked a video, Core opened and streamed it nicely. It looks pretty much the same as before but the change log certainly shows a ton of fixes and tweaks.
I installed it too, and still cannot play files from m.youtube. I have TCPMP and flash installed.
Also still cannot get audio from ac3 files, do you have the same?
gnollo,
Go into Core Player menu>tools>preferences>select page>File Associations and set RTSP protocol (check the box).
Bingo-m.youtube.com
Does ist only support m.youtube? Or is there a chance to get it working with full youtube like TCMP with Videoflashbundle?
They promise full youtube support later this month
Ac3 will only be supported later

Guys,
Don't get your hope high for Youtube, it will never happen the way TCMP does with flash bundle...
Personally, I am very disappointed with Core Player's progress, I brought the very first version of CP on the day it was released back in Oct 06 and an year and half later, it's hardly any different (my opinion) Betaboy will tell us of millions of fixes, improvements etc but I am not convinced at all. I am still using TCMP Player.
Here is confirmation from Betaboy...
"As far as YouTube... we do not play ANY flash video... nor will we ever with the restrictions Adobe has on the Flash Container (even though we do support it internally for testing purposes only)"

I checked RTP and RTSP then exited Core and did a power off reset and it worked fine after that.

tried that but no change.
CP shows filename and duration after loading, but the video never appears. I tried moving along the timeline, no change.
seems better than previous versions
It might be a soon judgment / coincidence though, but the 1.2 which replaces my 1.1.3 plays smootlhly (in QTV mode)
Is it the extra twealing they did, or the DCS V1.7 ROM...(the fastest I tested so far) it will stay a mistery.
Gonna try VBenchmark tomorrow to see if we get a +1800 score .
No youtube playback through Coreplayer...

Been having the same problem as you. I even flashed a new ROM to my Kaiser, but to no avail.
@ Alemaker:
Could you check please to see what you may have installed that is bringing you success? Flash application? TCPMP without FlashBundle or whay?
Any ideas Betaboy?
QTV does not work for LG KS20
The QTV mode does not work with coreplayer 1.2 on my LG KS20, all I get is a black screen. Do I have to do something to have this program working as advertised for the MSM 7200 chipset ?
I searched this forum and found another KS20 user stating that the 1.1.3 was already not working and some users having differents PPC having the same black screen problem. I found a post on the 1.2 release thread on the coreplayer forum where another KS20 user was having the same blank screen problem. Did anyone found how to get rid of it ? I bought coreplayer yesterday for QTV support, and since it does not work, it is useless for me since TCPMP is working as well as this product without QTV support.
If someone could help me, it would be much appreciated.
Edit : the rtsp protocol does not work either, and I have the same problem as the user on the coreplayer forum : I can no more view rtsp streams with WMP when I uncheck this protocol support in coreplayer. Any help about this too ?
Could someone tell me whether CorePlayer can play audio files using a simple folder-type structure - i.e. just a plain list of files in their folder order, NOT using ID3 album/artist/genre/inside-leg-measurement/etc tags.
What I have at the moment (playing via PocketMusic 4) is just one AUDIO folder on my storage card, and within that there's a PODCAST folder, a RADIO folder and a SONGS folder. These three folders are updated automatically every time I sync my device to my PC so that any newly fetched podcasts, individual song downloads, etc are copied into the three folders silently.
When I launch PocketMusic, it scans the whole AUDIO folder and creates a list of all my MP3 files, showing the podcast files at the top, then radio stuff and finally songs (with each folder's contents neatly sorted alphabetically). Playback returns to the last played item and position by default, which is great for those two-hour podcasts that I can't listen to in one session. Once I've listened to a podcast, I just delete the file via PocketMusic from the device, and the sync program will later delete the PC copy too. All really simple and neat and totally automatic.
I guess the one big downside is that is won't play video podcasts. I've looked at lots of other programs, but nothing else seems to offer this very logical load-list-on-startup and sort by folders facility. Will CorePlayer do this sort of thing?

Hey! Where the heck to you set 1.2 so that if you put your device to sleep (lock the keys and turn off the backlight) the music continues to play?

whocares2... let me first offer you a refund as "it does not work, it is useless for me". Second we will look into the WMP fill assoc bug.
Also... Did you follow the other threads here about QTv and what we did to get it to work? But point taken in that we we not 'officially' state QTv support but we will mark it as 'unofficial'.

Hello guys (and girls)
I have 2 small questions that i hope you can help me with.
* First Question,
After flashing my rom i always do a view reg-edits that i want changed.
now i was thinking......
i know i can make a file that i can open and it will do the changes for me on my PC.
But i wonder if this is also possible for my diamond.
And if so.... how?
* Second question,
Does anyone know of a easy and free converter that can convert a video to a smaller size for me to watch on my diamond?
Thank you....
Alex
For the registry, I'd suggest you look at the UC related threadsm as (even if your ROM isn't UC capable you can still use the cab making techniques to apply changes)
As for the video compression, it depends on what format you want at the end. I use DivX encoder to convert videos to AVIs and scale them to QVGA for my Prophet, and then play them in TCPMP.
UC info is here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=366337
Not a bad alternative to core player or tcpmp players, actually works quite well. http://www.divx.com/mobile/
its very nice - thanks bro
Thanks for the info.
I have downloaded it and tried it. It's a useful backup to TCPMP and Coreplayer.
Is there any chance to use divx for recording videos with the camera?
I'm asking cause i read it on the divx page, but it was just for some devices
can somebody just post a link to the cab file? why should i register for a free bit of software and let them spam me?
I correct my first post. I have uninstalled this app because it changes my backlight settings. I can't stand it when an app changes my settings!!! I have set my backlight to go off after 1 minute on battery and when charging. This app changes these settings to 5 and 10 minutes respectively...I cannot for the life of me understand why they can't code this properly.

Can it play or add codecs for AVC, h264, AAC etc etc?
I guess not...
(so its not like it is any alternative to TCPMP, its just a one-format player)
The latest build is dated April 17th, how is that "new"? (Almost half a year old = back in the stone age in tech terms )
I found this a bit jerky with some vids where the same ones play fine in coreplayer. Thanks for the heads up though.
Yep, i agree, after playing with it for about ten seconds, it's pretty much a one trick pony compared to core n tcpmp. I dig the nice simple interface reading compatible files though; scrolling through an 8 gig storage card with Core looking for Bamboo *****es when you have over a hundred files that start with B...is annoying and a hard on kill. Hopefully Coreplayer is watching
Nice
thanks
Hey guys
Title says it all
I was wondering, after all the new drivers that have been released and all the discussions has any1 actually been able to use the Kaiser as a decent video player??
Ive been trying, tweaking Core Player, trying different drivers, different setting when i encode etc etc... But i cant get the video to play smoothly! I still get "tearing" between scenes... Its just not a pleasure to watch
Anyone else had more luck of late??
Try this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=357330
So i guess then the short answer is... No??
I see that Core Player has its own codec or whatever it is, meant specially for the Qualcomm CPU, to try and get adequate video performance out of it... But for some reason when i use "video output QTV" i just get a purple block on the screen and audio!!!
Of the remaining options, Directdraw, raw framebuffer and GDI, does any1 know what the pros and cons are? Do any seem to work better than the rest??
Will try the MP4 tip tonight and see if it helps!
I can play YouTube stuff just fine on my Tilt with the newest TCPMP. Haven't tried other stuff yet.

I use coreplayer version 1.2.2 and QTV display driver delivers up to 70% better performance than TCPMP. Try to find a solution to your problem on coreplayer forum.
Where did you get the 70% number from?
Im not sure if this helps...but
I converted a few movies that I had downloaded a while back thru windows media player...I think Pulp Fiction or something. It played just fine. Great video, great audio, good synchronization. Really impressive. All this on AT&T Tilt.
Keep working on it or flash a ROM since most have the support u need to watch the video. Honestly, u would probably benefit from reading the forums for about flashing a ROM than to mess with new codecs and other drivers.
Have u tried downloading TCPMP and core player. Install both. Then open TCPMP in background. Now open ur windows media player and try to play a video.
Now if u can stream videos from ninjavideo.net ur doing better than I
Cheers

It seems that they have an option to enable "TyTN II driver mode" but they dont actually support the processor in the TyTN II...Odd!!
Apparently version 1.2.5 has a fix for the black screen in QTV mode (on WM 6.1 ROMs) does any1 have 1.2.5 to verify this??
That's right, they've fixed it.

There's a benchmark option in coreplayer. Play an avi file first on QTV driver and then on Rawframe buffer you'll see the difference. Than if you're still not convinced you can play the same file in TCPMP on rawframebuffer and compare the results.
Youtube w/ the new manilla 2d works flawlessly for me, as does any .flv i just plop on the phone (without re-encoding). Streaming mobitv is a bit laggy. But other then that my video runs great. For awhile quicksilverscreen was working str8 off the website too. (seems to not be working atm however).
I installed no new video drivers or anything just manilla2d. .flv has always worked since i installed the tmpg stuff.
Yes I Can!!!!
Just installed Core Player 1.25 and it works PERFECTLY!!!!
QTV works in the new ROMs in V1.25 and it plays my videos perfectly! Benchmarking, my frame rates arent much different to the RAW buffer, but the videos visually play better, there is no tearing as scenes change, they look great....
V1.25 does the trick!!!

here is what i think of from the top of my head...qtv is one of the options in the video driver selection in Coreplayer...Coreplayer is the paid version of tcpmp...From my experience, it really smoothens out the transition of scenes in this mode, but it also depends on how the video is encoded I think, coz' the movies I had encoded much earlier which i used with my treo 650 were still choppy even with the qtv display....But my recent acquisition, Ironman, it plays quite flawlessly...
v 1.25 refers to the latest version of Coreplayer, which fixes most of the bugs of earlier version...You can scope it out at corecodec.com, but sadly there is no trial version for it though so if you really want to watch and play videos on your tilt, it might be worth it for you...
As to the youtube videos, you can either:
Buy and use Coreplayer
Download the Youtube player extracted from the opal
Use the recomp version of tcpmp, the orginal won't work on the 6.1 so look for the recomp
Or if you wanna show off a bit on the bus or something, download opera 9.5 and flashlite 3.1, The flash vid will play as a part of the web page....

You should give 'Double Twist' a try
It doesn't give you a ton of options if you want the video in a certain format, but it's extremely easy to use.
Just plug your phone in (and let activesync/WMDC sync it) and it will show up in double twist. Than you just drag and drop a video on your phone - it converts it and transfers it to your video folder!
Couldn't be easier.
The one in this link is the best I ever used; simple, fast and good quality. I really recommend it. For the Touch Pro I always use 640x480 resolution.

Try Format Factory. It's free and you can convert just about anything. I've used it for a while and I don't have any complaints
