Does anyone know what formats/codecs are supported by the Video player in the Touch Diamond? I have been trying a different codec combination every day trying to get FFMpeg to automatically convert my TV shows for playback on my Diamond, and can't find a combination that works. Anyone out there have something similar working?

Hi, could someone tell me what the best software is for ripping video files for playback on the Diamond? I'm currently using Xilisoft video converter but not sure on best format to convert to?
Also, what is the best software for playback? Using Core Player at the mo but i cant get it to play in fullscreen landscape at the minute?
I use vlc media player to playback recorded videos on my pc, and all the videos of my son have no sound. This happened on the kaizer too and it was due to a copyright issue w/ the codecs htc use.
Has anyone found a work around for this?
Anyone?
Googling on the web reveals nothing? Surely others must be annoyed by this too?
GSpot says Audio codec: 'samr: AMR Narrowband' - could not find anything suitable for PC though and just ran out of time...
This is truly terrible
Would you have a phone with photos that can only be viewed on that phone on and not shared?
Why would these idiots use codec that makes it impossible to share videos with sound with any PCs?
How incredibly stupid of HTC?
I think it's a licencing issue with VLC itself - it can't play the SAMR AMR audio codec. I discovered this accidentally after emailing a vid to the missus who discovered she couldn't play it on her Macbook (using VLC). One of the threads I read about it is here.
I use mediaplayer classic and the K-Lite codec pack from free-codecs.com on my (windows-based) laptop and have no issues at all.
so you must have some codec able to play this... have you tried opening Diamond-Vids with other applications like vlc or maybe a conversion tool (like if one would like to convert to an flv for upping to web).
Also in your K-Lite there is a GSpot could you check what it shows in 'Audio' (check screenie)

ive been trying ot find a codec to get videos to work too.... well, video works but theres no sound on video files recorded with the diamond... ill give the klite pack a try i guess
if you manage to get sound - it would be great if you could check which codec is used ... thx!
same problem here
I have tried out every player under the sun (yes vlc too), updated several different codec packs, and still have the same problem.
I know that there is sound encoded in the files, because when I play them on the phone there is sound.
I have a friend with the same phone, and he also has the same problem.
I have recorded several lectures, and it would be fantastic is someone can find a fix for this.. my intention was never to watch the videos on the phone.. otherwise i'll just end up cross-eyed.
Any help much appreciated.

SOLUTION - GOM Media player
Plays them all fine
Good luck

go there and convert the file to a .mov or what ever format u want, and sound will work
hi all
is it possible to make use of the built-in camera mp4 (h264) encoder in a third-party app? the problem is: when i record clips using standard htc software (6.00 build 31516) it creates nice and small mp4 files but in case i want to record them with some other software utilizing the camera all i get is big asf file created with "WMVideo9 Encoder". no chance to select "mp4 encoder" .
any ideas?

Even I had the same problem I tried to see the video on real player and had no sound. Then i played the same video on VLC media player and I can hear the sound. Try the same video in different players. This is on my computer not on phone.
This is a decent site to take the mp4 and convert it to a different format. You could then move it to another program and play with it (i.e. once it's an avi).

Hello,
I've been trying to view some WMV's on my Tilt running WM 6.1 [downloaded from HTC for the Tilt]. I cannot see any video in TCPMP .72 or 81, WMP, Pocket Player...they all have the same issue - audio works, no video. Given that no video works in any player, I'm sure it's an issue with the phone missing a codec or something.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
I promise that I searched around however I didn't find any threads with an answer.
They should play in tcpmp, do you know someone else with an htc/windows mobile phone that can try to play your vids?
I do, however getting a vid to them could be problematic.
EDIT: Doesn't work on the other Tilt, using Kinoma FreePlayer. Unknown codec.
Is there a codec pack for WM6.1, similar to the k-lite codec pack for XP?
I checked the file properties in WMP and it shows the video codec as Windows Media Video 9 Screen. Shouldn't WMP with WM6.1 be version 10 and include this older codec?
AFAIK is the "Screen" codec is a particular variation of WMV9 for special uses and is not supported on PocketPCs (actually not even on Macs either , only Windows).
http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/forpros/codecs/video.aspx#Video_Compatibility
I've personally never encountered a video using this codec, most people use the generic WMV9 for everything as it has a lot more support.
As for your videos, you should reencode them to a supported format.
It was brought to my attention that WMP should be able to sync the vids to my phone and in a playable format, so I'm trying that out.
EDIT: Works perfectly. Case closed.
Has anyone with a diamond tried this encoder? It works incredibly smoothly on mine but the problem is, the sound is always out of sync, it lags behind the video slightly, even when I play the converted video from my pc. Just wondering if it's a problem specific to the diamond or if you've had success with it. I've tried loads of settings, decreasing video and audio bitrates, normalising audio, lower resolutions down to 320x 240, VGA and WVGA with no success in synching the audio track.

No problem....
I've been using this encoder for a while now with no issues at all. I've only been converting flash videos (.flv), so I don't know about any other formats

Actually, converting those videos with encoder causes audio to be out of sync when just playing from my pc, so yeah, doesn't seem to be a diamond issue.
Another thing. I've got core player 1.2.5 now, and that's working very smoothly too, but the audio is also out of sync ( playing on the phone itself) playing flv files or anything (not converted with encoder), but not nearly as much, only by a millisecond or two, but noticeable. What is it with me and audio out of sync.
Ok, I've messed around with the manual A/V offset +/- settings in core player. I've set it to different numbers, and on a couple of videos, one flv and one wmv, at -0.550 the audio syncs perfectly. I thought I had it sorted but other flv videos are still out of synch to different degrees. I don't want to have to keep changing the A/V offset for each video. Can anyone help me further? I'm sure it's the A/V offset function that is the cause but also solution for this problem. I can't tell if it's to do with audio bitrates, video bitrates or other video/audio encodings.
EDIT: YES!! I found the right setting.
-0.200 and every single video in perfect sync with audio. Core Player, what an awesome app, it's got loads of settings to play around with. Smooth as f... video.
