Hi Guys,
Wanted to know if there was anyway to improve the playback of wmv files.
Avi, flv files are fine when viewed with tcpmp81 rc1:
Raw frame buffer, larger buffer, larger preload and larger hard and soft drop tolerance.
WMV files encoded at about 400kbs are very choppy.
Is there any way to improve on this newer .dll etc?
Thanks in advance
Install the graphics drivers!
oh wait...........
maybe you should ask HTC and they will say: try a soft reset.
Where do i download these drivers....
Oh wait there are none.
Is there anything that can tide me over until they are released.
Oh well maybe will have to bash htc on some other thread.
Are people having issues with all types of clips or just certain filetypes?

Hey, i currently have a PDA2K and was wondering if there are any possibilities of installing extra video drivers.
The reason I say this is, I currently have Betaplayer installed and my ATI driver does not seem to work due an "out of video memory" msg that appears when i play my avi files.
When i use the other video drivers the avi files seems to get stuck every few mins.
Any idea guys??
In BetaPlayer Options:
ATI Imageon/Disable ATI Bitmap Caching
I think the real problem is you are trying to play a high resolution video on your PPC... I had the same problem when I first got my 1GB SD-Card and put a 700MB DivX on that... Because those DivX files (which are encoded for real PCs) have higher resolutions (bigger than 320x240 - the resolution of QVGA PPC - PDA2k is one of them) and bitrates need more video memory which you can't benefit from a video driver upgrade (if any newer driver is available anyway)...
###{I may not be accurate about the lines above, these are my generalizations from my experiences}###
You should use PocketDivXEncoder for converting your DivX files to be playable on PPC, it doesn't take long comparing to ripping a DVD to DivX...
I hope this would help you and any others having the same problem...
somebody give coreplayer a whirl...
and tcpmp...
tcpmp has worked in the last couple ROMs. I've been using 0.81.
How's the performance? Is the processor fast?

nice and speedy. I never found the original TyTN a slouch, but now that there's a lot of memory available I can run several apps in parallel (even while playing long audio files).
i have installed coreplayer and tcpmp player on my kaiser. both are excellent on performance. the only thing is that the tcpmp player used to be able to play all the WMV files in my wm5 o2 flame but now on the wm6 kaiser, it wont show the wmv files at all in my video folder.
anyone knows why? is it my setting problem?
thanks, eric

This is an issue with the wmv files that they included on wm6. There is a posting somewhere on the codecodec forums linking to a posting here which has a zip file with the dll's you need. Just unzip them into the codecodec dir.

And I quote.
"Finally, in order to test the horsepower of the TyTN II I installed The Core Pocket Media Player and watched a few sample videos. What amazed me here is that I was able to put a video clip on the internal storage memory of the device that was NOT optimised for pocket PC and despite the DivX video being 640 x 320 it played back without so much of a stutter! This is something that I’ve never been able to do on any other device."

thanks so much i found it and fixed it.
How did you fix it?
i downloaded the 2 wmvencoder.dll files and dragged them into the windows dir, then installed .81 rc1. wmv can be decoded now but the performance is not good. i m still trying to find out why. but now at least it can play wmv files.
Does anyone know the settings for TCPMP and the Kaiser so that it plays video correct when slide is open and flipped up?
At the moment it plays ok in portrait (tap the screen and it goes landscape full screen) but when I actually open and tilt I cant get it to rotate and play full screen. it stays in portrait???
any ideas?

I experience exactly the same thing. I can play wmv files, but the performance is poor.
Did you by any chance find a solution?
PS! The poor performance is experienced in both TCPMP and Coreplayer.

Per the above post.
"... I'm using TCPMP and I've found that the following steps help relieve some of the problems.
1. Options/Video:
Change from DirectDraw to Raw FrameBuffer
Uncheck "Dither" (whatever that is)
2. Options/Video/Pixel Aspect Ratio: set to Auto
3. Options/Settings/Advanced
Check "Slow Video Memory"
4. Options/Settings/Buffering
Change "Preload at Underrun" to 85%
Note: I'm using PocketDIVxEncoder to convert everything to AVI files with the right audio/video size and format and I've tweaked the rom quite a bit. The most important setting change I've found to improve response of programs/video came from the vx6700 forums:
H_KEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/System/GDI/GLYPHCACHE/limit
change setting to either 32758 or 65536
I've tried both, and I'm using 32758 because it's a smaller memory footprint, but 65536 appears slightly faster.

Has not helped much. I am trying to play an H264 file encoded at 640x480, 23.976 frame rate. palying back via the FFmpeg AVC format. Audio sounds fine, but I am getting less than 1 frame per second of video. Is it the H.264 codec? I know it is close to the mp4 format, but one of the posters in the referenced thread said these settings helped (for .mp4), where for me it they do not.

hi i have o2 xda mini s and htc touch i install coreplzyer 1.3 and tcpmp 0.72 with flv plugin but both mobile can't play flv properly coreplayer plays flv but not the smooth video can play and tcpmp even cant play any flv file plz help
Hiya,
Since all my old music video's are in 320x240 format I'd like to re-encode my ORIGINAL music video files into 640x480 format.
Until now I've been using Nero Recode which gave me ease of use and a pretty nice result.
What program(s) are you using to encode your material and what settings?
I know the Diamond can pretty much play a divx/xvid without re-encoding, but I'd like a smaller filesize so I can place more files on it.
pocketdivx encoder is free, simple to use and produces good results
I use SPB Mobile
Thx for the suggestions.
I've been searching/reading a bit and I'm not an encoding expert, but from what I've read the best possible format would be H.264/AVC?
It would be awesome to get such an awesome movie quality that 'certain other brand phone users' would turn green in envy
My search continues!
Check THIS out for alot of info on the H264 format
I've tested a bit around with encoding Movie files.
Under Windows i become good results with Super from eRightSoft
But i use the most time Linux Debian. There is "AviDemux" you're friend
I'd converted some of my Musicclips in MP4 with AviDemux. In advance:
"MPEG-4 ASP Xvid" at "800KBit VBR"
"AAC (FAAC)" Audio at "128KBit"
Super from eRightSoft in advance:
"H.264 AVC" at "1000KBit CBR"
"AAC (LC)" at "128KBit" Audio
The results seems very pretty so far. But the video seems to stuck if the Bitrate is more than 1100KBit. All tested with Mobile Windows Media Player, because i dont have Coreplayer at the moment.
The old TCMP 0.xx gives an horrorble output. Too many framedrops etc.
Which formats are natively supported from the Qualcomm Chipset, knows that anyone ?
I find that Diamond 2 has lag problem on play back some WMV format media.
For example, ORB, I did tests on Dell V51 (updated to wm6.1), Atom O2 (WM 5.0) and Diamond2 with Bandwidth limited to 160kbps from WIFI.
Both O2 and Dell works fine. However, Diamond2 has serious lag problem.
I increased the bit rate from 160kbps and 320kbps, it did not improved anything on Diamond 2.
I also find some WMV file storaged in memory card has similar problem, while it does not happen in neither Dell nor Atom.
I doubt Diamond 2 has problem on play back WMV.
Anyone has similar experience?
I haven't tried many wmv files yet, but video playback is somewhat bad if you dont convert it to mp4 (H264+AAC).
So have a quick look here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=3830181&postcount=11
If you have to use WMV then reduce resolution, framerate or bitrate.

Did you try test of CSPAN from http://test.orb.com/streamtest/wmp.jsp?
It seems that it is ok for playback of CSPAN.
If I connect to my ORB server, however, it lags seriously no matter how low bit rate it is. It does not happen in Dell or Atom.
Therefore, I doubt Diamond 2 may have trouble on some WMV encoded format and its WMV implementation may have bugs.
Hi,
When i try and watch my divx films through tcpmp or via divx player thye are always very jumpy. Anyone got any ideas?
Welcome to the kaiser, you're bringing up pretty much the first ever complaint about the phone.
There are many things people do to try and solve the problem. Search them out and see if any work for you.
Have tried differant roms, different players and also differant video drivers
Those are the sort of things you put in the original post.
what size are the movie files, format, etc.
600mb avi files
convert the files to the resolution of the kaiser screen 320x240 or something.
RIGHT, geez mine are about 200mb MAX, and it runs pretty good.

Same here use AONE FLV to AVI MPEG WMV 3GP MP4 iPod Converter don't be fooled by name will convert anything to anything & get about 200mb max files keeping audio bit down, rez right for output, one thing has to be correct is framerate as hate 2/1 effects.
