AVI Playback - Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General

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

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)

TCPMP problem
I use the TCPMP app to play AVI files with no problems. I downloaded a podcast (MP4) but TCPMP says that this codec was removed. Tried with the WM player and it also does not read the format. I can convert the MP4 files to AVI format but it's a pain to do so.
Does anyone know how to put the codec back into TCPMP?

you could try the retail version of TCPMP... COREPLAYER.
It is still under development, even if it's already available to consumers, so the features aren't complete yet compared to TCPMP...
If you still want to use TCPMP, I would suggest looking for the AVC plugin for it...
The filename I think is AVC.plg. Don't know where to find it though...
The codec was removed because of license issues, you can download it from certain sites and put it back, but it's against the law to do so.
I'm using Sompy MovieEncoder it's work pretty good and it's free. It's compress 750 mb video file to about 150 mb. You can get it from download.com under mobile section

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.

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 )

Captivate divx certified?

I have read that the captivate is divx certified? Is this true do I need an app to make this happen or is this going to be added with froyo? I hate converting files after downloading..... Just too time consuming
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA App
The question to ask is, whats the container, whats the file size?
Generally a full length movie seven hundred mb or so, not sure what you mean by container but I am downloading from a windows vista or seven box to my phone
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA App
I've played multiple xvid files (each 300mb+) and they've run perfectly fine, so I'm assuming that divx would run fine also.
just download a media player app from the market. i think rock media player or whatever it's called can play a lot of different encoded files that the stock media player can't even recognize

no, the phone is divx certified AS IS. rockplayer isn't required. the default video player app will play xvid and divx by default. and I believe it's even capable of mkv 1080p files
i can verify that a 2.1 gb mkv file encoded in 720p runs perfectly
I've also had a problem playing xvid and divx files (each ~700mb).
they are all labeled avi's. I've tried 3.
I am having problems too trying to play Divx files. I am having issues with the Divx files that I made that are from my movie collection. Here are the characteristics of the files I have been trying to use but they just wont work:
AVI container
Divx Codec (used AutoGK)
AC3 audio (I tried MP3 also didn't work)
File size is between 1-2GB in size.
Can anyone tell why I can't play any of my Divx files? I am transfering these files to my memory card through Windows and then putting the memory card in the device. I would think since this is Divx compatible this should be a no brainer since the files work on a PS3 and Xbox 360 without a problem.
So far only Rock Player will play my files.
Divx doesn't work for the Captivate

Actually I have to disagree. Either I am doing something completely wrong, but there is no way this will play Divx files consistently. I have been tooling around with it for 3 days now and I get nothing but inconsistency. So here is the scoop.
All my divx files are AVI.
All files converted with AutoGK and Divx Codec
Some have AC3 sound others are MP3
Typical file size is between 1.2-2GB
The ONLY files I can get to play on this thing consistently are Xvid encoded files. I have tried Divx files with 2 audio channels, 5.1 sound and none of them work. Heck I even downloaded one of the Divx files from www.divx.com Big Buck Bunny (mobile version) and that didn't work. This did play an HD MP4 that I had but wouldn't play the sound I am guessing because it was AC3.
In the end I don't see how this phone is Divx certified if I can't get a Divx movie to play unless I use Rockplayer, which I don't want to use because that is all CPU and not GPU being used for playback.
For people who do get it working, are you putting the movies on the phone a special way or something?
I play divx and xvid files on mine fine with the stock media player. No converting....just copy and paste.
Actually DivX Plus HD certified
Actually, if you read the press release, the Galaxy S is DivX Plus HD certified. Hence it will play MKV/H.264 just fine. Why they support DivX Plus but not standard DivX, I have no idea. According to specs for Captivate on samsung.com, supported formats are MPEG4, AAC, AAC+, H.263, H.264. Xvid (AVI) seems to also work for most people.
Options for standard def DivX seem to be convert to mp4 or other supported type or use a non-stock video player that supports DivX.

What size are your divx files that you are playing? I am curious to see what the disconnect is with the content that I have.
