Hi everyone.
I was hoping someone could help me. I have a Kaiser and have tried to crush an .avi file with PocketdivxEncoder. Everything appeared to have worked fine, but when i tried to play the encoded file on the phone - i got the error message "Cannot Play the file".
Disheartening to say the least. I was wondering if anyone come accross thos or a similiar problem and had discovered a way to make it work. Is this codec issue or something more troubling.
Thanks in advance. Incidiently...yes I am very much a newbie - so hoping for the kindness of some strangers here!
you can't read divx with WMP.
Use TCPMP or CorePlayer to play them
TCPMP
I had a look at the TCPMP and there seem to be a helluva lots choices! Any pointers as to what i should be downloading - and what plugins?
cheers
the version you want is 0.72rc1, dont need any plugins if all you wanna watch is the divx files. however i can suggest flash video bundle, that would allow you to watch youtube and other flash streaming videos
Core will play video the best as they've added support for Tilt/Kaiser's "QTV" driver which gives about 35% better playback performance on my divx videos encoded with PDXE. It costs some money, but it's good stuff.
Here's TCPMP which will work OK as long as you keep your video's a reasonable size, say 320x240 with a total bitrate under 500kps.
For Divx you won't need any plug-ins, set to use "raw framebuffer" and you are good to go.
Brilliant
I unzipped the attached file and it doesn't seem to be recognised as an exe file once unzipped! Any help?
don't unzip the attached file. transfer it to your kaiser and run the cab file from there.
Nearly there!
Ok thanks for your help so far! The problem now is there is no sound and some of the sound options on the player are greyed out! Any help! I think its the final hurdle

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.

Hello everyone,

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
I think most of the active members are aware of the video difficulties SO please (please, please) turn your rants off for this thread. What I am trying to find is a combination of settings that DO work.
My preferred codec is MP4.
From some suggestions in other threads, I have tried these encoding settings.
Screen resolution: 320x240
Frames Per Second: 30
Kbps: 300
Audio codec: [email protected]
...and I am playing back on TCPMP 0.72RC1 using these settings
Options/Video: Raw FrameBuffer
Options/Video/Dither: Off
Options/Video/Pixel Aspect Ratio: Auto
Options/Settings/Advanced/Slow Video Memory: On
Options/Settings/Buffering/Preload at Underrun: 85%
Using this, all I get for video is about 1 frame every 3 seconds. Audio is fine.
So can anyone add this this for getting MP4 to work?
Do I need to use a different codec? If so, I would prefer something other then AVI, since I have a mixed environment. Does anyone have suggestions on the best cross platform Codec, that has work well on the Kaiser?
I'd be interested in this too. I can play back videos taken from the video camera flawlessly but when trying to encode them to the same MP4 codec they can get choppy. Not sure what gives :0
Using WMV here
I couldn't get the mp4 output from my ATI Multimedia Centre software to work at all on my TyTN II so I've settled on WMV 9 at 352 x 288 resolution and 372 kbps (thats at 15 fps). Anything with higher bit rate than that seems to cause problems with to much screen tearing during fast movement scenes.
You might want to follow this thread... seams that the Core Player is attacking this known problem for the Tilt. I'm by no means an expert on this, but seems like the Qualcomm QTV technology for the video has some issues:
http://www.corecodec.com/forums/index.php?topic=596.0
I use PDXE, Lathe, and a few others to encode Divx videos at 320x240 video quality at "28" audio in stereo at 96 or 128k MP3 with a total bitrate under 500k (usually shoot for 475kbps). If the encoder allows it, for portable video I bump the audio volume by 15% and I increase brightness as well. To me most movies look darker on the small screen. If cropping is allowed I crop widescreen content, cutting off some of the sides of the picture to get closer to the 3:4 ratio of PDA screen. I also like to turn the brightness down as much as possible to increase battery life so the bump in brightness helps there as well. An average movie 1:50 length is about 480MB
I've used Core and TCPMP (currently using TCPMP for the youtube capability) and use Rawframe buffer as well. I'm sure that Core 1.2 will make things even better.
I get 30FPS and normal fluid video, looks like my other 8525, hx4700, and Archos 320 and 400 units with crisp clear video, no complaints.
This MP4 doesnt play on my pc only the phone???

There's lots avout video formats in the wiki here:
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=The H.264 (a.k.a. MPEG-4 Part 10 and AVC) Bible
FWIW my mp4s recorded on my TyTN II wont playback on my PC either, it's simply a case of finding a suitable codec.
recorded videos on Tilt not playing on vista with sound!! I GOT IT FIXXX

Hey thanx for the reply but VLC is what i got installed and doesnt work, thought someone else had the same issue like mine. The .MP4 files that the TiLT records doesnt playback properly. PROBLEM is : I get the video portion just fine, but no sound. I have the. I tried in Media Player, VLC, QuickTime, RealPlayer, etc.... All the same... video plays but no sound.
I googled the issue and found out some other HTC phone users got it too and a couple solutions i found are.
1. In QuickTime it says: "Error 2041 - Invalid sample description in movie"
Solution: Checked the Apple.com or quicktime forums, if you use quicktime, change the file name from .MP4 to .3GP and it will work, it will not work otherwise. (if you dont know how to rename the files or dont see extension, Windows vista or XP go to tools>folder options>view>uncheck hide file extensions for known file types and voila)
2. Since I did so much reading on this, I got a new player (KMPlayer) that beats vlc in my books it plays the files recorded from the tilt just fine unlike VLC latest build, its fast and does all vlc does but it has a better GUI and plays anything you throw at it. you can get kmplayer here
Conclusion: The TiLt is fine, just that I couldnt get the right player to run the video files it records. apparently there is some issue with the qualcomm processor and the video output files of .MP4, some others have reported issues with any .MP4 files and had to do the same listed above.
Hope this helps someone here...
if you want an mp4 player on your pc for free, go to nokia.com

MANY THANKS! zulualpha7,
I have had the error 2041 problem for a long time and have never been able to play vids recorded on my TyTn II on my PC.
I almost installed various codec packs as other forum members have done but after reading about potential problems of having multiple codecs for same file type and upsetting the system I decided not to do this.
I have some really important 'once in a lifetime' family moments like my friend's son catching his first fish etc... I though they were all lost for ever.
I just downloaded latest Quicktime and renamed file extensions to ".3gp" like you said and now I can watch everything!!!!
Thank you so much this really has been a big improvement for me.
ONCE AGAIN THIS FORUM ROCKS! Thanks to everyone for so much fantastic helpful info.
Hi all,
Just would like to know if anyone has had the time and the patience to figure out which program to use to rip a Dvd to what ever format is required to watch on the Diamond.
Anyone know what format the files should be???
I have tried CloneDVD Mobile & ImToo Dvd Ripper. However every time I've tried after transfer It can't be read.
I've tried - Mp4 - MPEG-4 multiple types, to Xvid even Iphone & Blackberry MPEG-4 formats.
I had an AVI music video file that I tried sync'ing through WMP just to test it and it worked however quality was absolutely shocking. a 60 mg H Def good looking video on a 17" WSGA screen get transfered and come out looking like a crappy pixelated washed out 16 colour type thing on a 2.8" vga screen.
Anyway
If anybody has sus'd this issue out and has some answers. It would be appreciated
Cheers all and everybody that will or has ever given any help to anyone on this site or not.
"PAY IT FORWARD MF's"
A godd all round freeware program is Super. The User Interface isn't great but you can convert to pretty much any format and also change the fps, audio quality, pic size etc. The link is below
http://www.erightsoft.com/S6Kg1.html
You have to go through 2 pages of crap and on the 3rd page is the download link. Tried to put up link for final page, but it just re-directs you!!
Hope this helps

I use this to convert avis, choose a suitable resolution then lower the audio and video quality settings for smoother playback
Thanks for the quick response Nindy & Timbermill.
I will check them out and holla out the findings.
Timbermill, I maybe wrong but as far as I was aware DivX encoded files cannot be played on the Diamond. Only MPEG4 encoded files
However, can ask you guys what format and settings are you transfering your files to for the diamond?
Cheers again
Here's another nice (and free) tool:

I use TCPMP to view my video files, it's great for divx
Hi guys, i am new to this site but cant find anything on here regarding my device and problem, so want to see if any one else has any ideas...
I Have installed DivX onto my device to playback avi files, but even after converting them to 320x240 and 250kbs with DVD Catalyst...
I have installed TCPMP but that fails to run, logging things to "crash.txt" but i cannot find the log file to find out what is causing it...
So i am unable to play any avi file on my device...
Can any one shed any light on my problems?
Thanks
coreplayer m
Get yourself coreplayer, you can try their trial before you think about purchasing it. it is an awsome media player, i dont even bother to convert my divx/xvid files to compress em down....they play with very few niggles!
Hey I've recently started getting error messages when I try to play youtube clips from the built-in player. I get an error message saying that the file type is unrecognized and it started happening when I started to really enjoy this function. Im running stock 6.1 ATT rom and have no other programs open while using core player. any help would be appreciated.
p.s
Im not a complete noob, I've already tried a soft reset and looking through the pefences to see if anything had changed.
same here. and it was working just fine a few days ago...
I have been using it, but since yesterday I have the same problem.
To overcome it; open m.youtube.com on your IE, search for the video you want to watch, double click it from there and it opens & plays correctly with the coreplayer!
Explanation, no idea!
Same problem here, but only when I select the H264 or FLV file formats for Youtube. When I use the RTSP format it works fine, but the quality is total crap. Any ideas??? I would like to use the FLV format because it looks much better.
Has Youtube changed its file or streaming formats???
Ahhh, thanks. When I set it to RTSP it works.
Bump for anyone else who knows why I cannot play FLV or H264 youtube videos in coreplayer since the last week or so...
Bump...anyone know? want to use this program to play FLV videos
