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

Hope this helps

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
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

Found this on the CorePlayer forums....Seems ambiguous at best...
http://forum.corecodec.com/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=1044
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....
Did anybody manage to run TCPMP on TD2?
I've tried 0.72RC1 as well as 0.81 version without success. Both crash immediat after start.

What you need is: 0.72RC1 recomp 03
recomp 3 not working either
Thanks for the tip. I've downloaded and installed it. It's starting without crash but it does not work. I hear some audio but display becomes froozen afterwards.
Interesting side effect: Even though the display is froozen through a PC connection using My Mobiler I can see what should be displayed and even control the the dialogs. Only the lower portion of the screen (I guess pix 640 to 800) is blocked.
Well TCPMP is not that good a player, but it can get the job done.
If you like to play high resolution video(About the same res as the screen, 800*480), then theres Coreplayer, or if you rather not pay for a player then you can convert the video and play them using HTCAlbum player(The default one for recorded video).
Have a look here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=3830181&postcount=11
Yes, I would recommend the CorePlayer. Although not the best, it is by far the best player for videos.
If you aren't aware yet, it is actually a commercial version of the same TCPMP with slightly better stuffs like GUI and sorts..
Have you tried it to work?
Regards,
Carty..
Finally I bought CorePlayer license - and it works perfect on TD2.
Not really a cheap solution but I have to admit its a really cool SW.
Thanks anyway
Hello, I need help, I have HTC touch pro, and wanna watch video, but I don't know video converter programs, can you give my link?

They are all for free.
Which ones quality/size ratio is highest? I've been using pocketdivx but if other give better results why not change...
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
i use coreplayer.. what format should i use so i can watch videos without it skipping?
