I understand this is completely off topic, and thats exactly why I am posting here heh.
I am setting up a machine that I will be connecting to my television via svideo on the video card. All I will use this machine for is to watch all my xvid/vidx movies. I am going to install xp pro on it and I was wondering what you guys would recommend as for the video player to use for this type of setup. I mean I know what video players play xvid and vidx, but I was wondering if there was one made specially for what I am doing. One that would make it look better through svid card for none hd televisions.
I used to use my modded xbox for this, and it would work so well. I would use xbmc to stream all the videos from my pc to the xbox and it would display the videos beautifully on my none hd tv. Well my xbox is not working right now, so thats why I am going to do this.
Thanks for your time and help.

I am just curious to see what you guys think is the best video player to watch videos on my computer that I recorded on my Tilt. For some strange reason I am unable to hear audio when trying to view a video on my computer. When I use TCPMP on my phone I am able to watch the video with perfect sound.
Any ideas on how I can solve this. Tried to use Quicktime, Windows Media Player, and VLC player and still can't get it to work.
I've been using KMPlayer for a good while now and love it. I've not found anything else more configurable and it's nice to the system resources. Definitely worth a look.

alltheway, THE only video player to use on your pc is thru the K-Lite Mega Codec Pack which uses Media Player Classic, all the codecs you will ever need and a nice little player to view, check it out..

ditto to this
I'm using The GOM-Player.

K-Lite Mega Codec Pack (www.codecguide.com) as duncstar mentioned is the best solution. What's good is that you can also play any media file using Windows Media Player (ie: no need for Media Player Classic).

So called video pros would say any codec pack is grabage, but it's definately not a good idea to have multiple codec packs. K-Lite Full with quicktime and real alternative is probably the best combo. quicktime alternative 1.67 to be more specific because the ones after that stopped playing some cell phone movies correctly.
Ok. I recorded some video on my AT&T Tilt with a memory card. It plays fine on my phone. Well I want to get it on my computer. When I tried to, it was in the MP4 format. So I opened it with Quicktime and iTunes and it wouldn't play. It said there was an error. So I was gonna convert it. I tried to, but it gave me a warning saying that it would have no sound, so I didn't do that. Then I downloaded VLC Player and when I played the videos, they didn't have sound. I tried putting them in Windows Media Center, didn't work. I tried ActiveSync. Didn't work. There has to be some possible way to do this. PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!!!
Same thing happens to me. Now I just record in the other format, QIF I believe. And that works fine.
THANKYOU!!!!!!!!!!
how did you even get "good" video playback?
how did you even get "good" video on the TILT? is it the change in file type that makes the video better in itself? where do you change it?
You can change to CIF by selecting it from the Capture Settings menu (hit menu when the camera is running) under Resolution. The capture format can be changed from MPEG-4 to H.263 if you go to Advanced > Capture Format.
Recording in a well-lit environment helps. I'm not usually affected by placebo, but I and a few other users have reported increased camera performance after installing the latest test drivers for the Kaiser from htcclassaction.org. It DID seem that the framerate was higher. I can't rule out the possibility that updating to windows mobile 6.1 may have made a difference, but I know I don't keep apps running in the background and the comparison whilst not scientific would be pretty fair.
What can be used to view H.263 on the home pc? Will media player play it? And is there a good reason why it just doesn't record to .wmv or regular old mpeg? As you can tell I am a moron when it comes to video.
VLC will read it

QuickTime will play H.263 encoded files.
The Tilt does not use WMV or MPEG because they do not have formats optimized for mobile devices, so the files end up being huge.
Thanks, that makes sense!
my mp4 videos run fine on wm player! try downloading the vista or xp codec pack which is available on most torrent sites
I know its old but anyway...I record video w/ my kaiser, bluetooth the video over to my laptop, convert with WM convert, open w/ movie maker, edit then post. Sooooooooo easy and no cables required!
You're all going through waaaay to much by using converters & what not. When recording in mpeg4 format just rename the files to ".3gp" after you transfer them to your computer and they will play regularly through quicktime with sound & everything intact.
download K lite codec pack: http://www.free-codecs.com/download/K_lite_codec_pack.htm
it will allow windows media player to play ANYTHING, throw and file at it and it will play
VLC Works for me
VLC works for me, try it

Use a converter to be able to edit the video in windows movie maker, it takes like 10 seconds to convert a MPEG4 to WMV. (i've got the codec pack but in order to edit the video you need to convert it.)
Hey guys i did a couple searches and really didnt find to much info..Im just wanting to know threw trial and error what converter did you use for the best playback from a xvid/divx avi to Mp4. i have used alot of them and there is always issues. Also The player is def important, is cinema the best?
I think the playback codecs are a lot more important than the player. With that said, I use Combined Community Codec Pack along with Media Player Classic. You could go with VLC for full, out-of-the box codec support too, but the interface is almost an OS itself and I'm a minimalist.
For encoding, I use and preffer (and so do many others) SUPER © encoder:

well i have used super to convert 4 differnt ways but the G1 doesnt even detect the movies. Is there something im missing? what settings should i choose?

Ya i did follow that but for some reason no matter what i always get an error. I have all the codec's installed, i think, is there a windows 7 codec pack? Also the video is an xvid avi.

Most codec's are packed into windows 7 now. You can always update your divx codec. There's another program I use at home called DVD Fab Platinum that works good to.
DVD Jon has his Doubletwist "iTunes Replacement" app out.. It takes all the guess work out just a litlle clunky on the interface...
Before that i used handbreak, with the old ipod settings (and a little tweeking) works great and only takes about 15 min for a 700mb avi...
I'm trying to learn how to take hi -def movies in various video formats and convert them to a bluray format so I can burn it to a bluray disc to play on my PS3 and stand alone bluray player. So far I've tried to use avs video converter, avchdcoder, and multiavchd. It's definetly challenging to learn how to create cool looking menus, get the audio to be in sync, and not get any errors. Does anyone have a favorite software they use and any tips? Its frusturating to wait 3-5 hours to convert a movie just to find out there are errors lol. Dvds are easy to create ....it's the blurays that are challenging. I would love to hear some feedback.
Use THIS site as they helped me figure video editing out. But let me warn you about PS3 3.56 Firmware update - Sony has just made it so that it will detect a signature in pirated video; the PS3 will only play homevideos now (unless you know how to decode video ;} )

Yeah that's a good idea. A lot of the movies come with samples. See....I'm learning.
Edit : videohelp is a really good forum....I've been using it.
Ok so I transcoded a 8gb mkv to a bluray ISO....took 7 hours. Went to burn it using imgburn and got a error part way through. Guess I need to stop using cheap discs.

Stop right there. Both your PS3 and Bluray player can play x264 (and all profilesm too, I believe), PS3 also plays xvid/divx/h263, you BD player might too.
Most HD movies that are shared used the x264 codec for video and AC3 or DTS for audio, and in a Matroska (MKV) container.
They will not play on a PS3 (and most likely BD player) due to a lack of support for mkv. You'll need to remux the file in to an MPEG Transport Stream (.ts), after you do this they should be fine on both. I'm not entirely sure if DTS can be muxed in to ts, you might need to convert it to AC3 first, no biggie.
Well I took a shared movie and converted it to avchd using avchdcoder ....the conversion went fine and took a total of 7 hours....burned it to a blank bluray and didn't work in the ps3. The custom menu I created works fine but when the movie started is wouldn't play right. Have no idea why. When I get home ill have to take a closer look. Frusturating for sure. I can use avs video converter which is easy to use and works well but it down converts 6ch audio to 2ch.
Why are you spending hours encoding video and degrading the image quality when you don't have to? *Just* for custom menus?
Yeah pretty much. Just certain movies though. Most movies I just keep on a nas drive and watch them through my laptop which is hooked up to my home theater via wireless HDMI. It's a pretty cool setup actually.
So basically I'm looking for the best possible solution here:
I have approx 20-30 movies on my tab all in mp4(mostly) used this format because I stream to my tv via apple tv now the proble is only some of these videos play on the tab so either I'm looking for a video player that can handle mp4 or a different format to utilze with apple and a corrosppnonding video player to use locally on the tab.
Players Iv tried with lil to no success
Mx player
Joe vlc
Archie(+ add-ons)
Mobo player
And various "easy mp4 players" in the market
I've attempted to move them from the sd to local memory and no affect on the outcome so I come to the brilliant minds of sds for a solution on.open to all suggestions at this point.
Plz excuse the various typos thru out post. Posting from my phone
