video playback, cpu to slow?

I replaced my qtek2020 (400mhz) with the tytn2. With my qtek i was able to play almost anything (divx with high bitrate, vcd files, streaming 800kbps video over activesync) . The tytn2 seems to be to weak to play these files.
www.streamingpda.nl --> humortv (800kbps) stutters.
Divx --> without reencoding stutters.
Does anybody know a solution, please help, its the only thing i am dissapointed in with my new baby.
thx

anybody?
Ok, maybe no one has a solution but can somebody confirm that he has the same problem?

Perhaps you could tell us what you are attempting to play these with.

I went to the site you reproted and saw the same problem. The video seems to play ok for about 20 seconds and then goes in to a jerky frame mode. The sound is still clear though.
Oddly, I went to the windows media site from the windows media player that this site seems to demand and watched some clips there that played flawlessly.
Might it have to do with the way your site is encoding their stuff?
I am a noob but the windows media player offers almost no options to fiddle with to try to make things better. How to force the video to play with TCPMP?

I tried windows media player (not a lot of options indeed) , tcpmp (the latest version) and Makayama liveTv. They all sem to have the same problem. It is ok if the bitrate is below 500 kbps. I am giong to try that windows media site.

I'm having the same problem. As the video plays it will skip parts of it. but as you say the sound is fine.

have you tried setting your video driver to GDI? i would think that would solve the problem

How do you do that?

In TCMP: Options>Video>GDI

Oh Ok, I tought you know how to hack the WMP.
I use CorePlayer (and TCPMP) and I use RawBuffer ... Works fine (faster than WMP).

Cool, for me. Videos + TCMP = It works.

GDI or Rawbuffer?
what does GDI do?

so we have to use tcmp? wmp is useless if we want some kind of quality or flow? What the hell were you thinking HTC? give us some new drivers that works with wmp! allways a guinea-pig.

Posted this in another thread, but it applies here as well.
I'm using the Core Player and I tried "GDI" vs "Raw Frame Buffer" and the benchmark tells me;
GDI=Ave Speed of 135%
RawFrameBuffer=Ave Speed of 168%
Guess I'll stick with Raw, it plays my Divx vids perfectly, but I encode mine at 320x240 just for small gear like this and iPods. They look very sharp and clear at these modest rates.
I also tried RawFrameBuffer with the Keyboard Open=163%

So is my TyTN 2 worthless for playing back h.264 videos ?
I'm trying to playback the DL.TV podcasts in native ipod video encoded .mp4
It is already formatted 320x240 at under 400 kb/s w/AAc audio...
The sound plays fine, but the video stutters along.
Benchmarking only comes up eith 58%
Do I need to fix the settings ?

I am using TCPMP 0.72
I have tried both GDI and Raw Buffer with no noticeable difference in quality.
Both stutter along on that video.
Is there a web pae or post with the correct option setting for all of these other sub menus ?
Thanks again,
TBFL

TCPMP too slow on choppy on videos

Am i doing something wrong?
Can it be installed on the storage card ?
Thanks.

Did you try Raw FrameBuffer instead of the default DirectDraw video driver? Smooth as butter for me using Raw FrameBuffer.

I used Clone DVD Mobile to rip from DVDs on .wmv files. When I tried to play through TCPMP I got a message that it could not play the file (something to do with codecs).

I use that as well, what profile did you rip it to? You might try Pocket Divx Encoder (PDXE), it works well too.

I used Generic WMV, tried to keep it simple. I'll look up Pocket Divx Encoder. What player do you use on the Tytn?

heh, tcpmp isn't compatible with .wmv files. and video viewing on wmp is a less than pleasant experience.

it will work if you install the WM5 WMV9 codecs (search)

Found that DVDs encoded to 3gp work with WMP, no jerkiness with the video. Perhaps not the highest quality but adequate to keep me occupied during long waits.

I play TV episodes (HD rips) straight from p2p right into TCPMP, no reencoding. Am able to both on Hermes and Kaiser. Hermes I had to enable microdrive and increase buffer, Kaiser runs it like a champ!
Video
AVI\XViD 608x336

AVI on Kaiser

I like to watch stuff on the go and thought my TyTN would be the perfect device to do so, is there any way I can watch avi files on my TyTN?

TCPMP
Or if you want to spend money CorePlayer.

1, welcome to XDA-Devs
2, what do you mean? The long-abandoned PocketDivX? It's not recommended at all. Go for either TCPMP or CorePlayer.

Transcode your stuff to become 320 pixels wide. Unfortunately, currently, the Kaiser can't play back high-bitrate (in this case, >400 kbps), high-res videos.

Ah! I've recently installed NewsBreak to download various audio and video podcasts over WiFi, and have so far been unable to view any of the video podcasts as the image is so choppy to make it completely useless. I can watch an XVid encoded AVI file without issues (apart from the known problems with tearing) via TCPMP, but not these podcasts. I assume it's due to them being high bitrate files (WMV) then? That's a real disappoint if so - I'm a fan of the potential of the TyTn II, but in reality it seems to fall short.

Which Mediaplayer for Diamond ?

Hi,
which mediaplayer is best for the diamond, or in other words, which support the video accelerator chip (QTv ?). Today I installed Nero Media Player Pro, but it either failed to render TV-Rips (std.~350mb only 1-2sec playback) or very chunky playback of 320h mov files/trailers. Obviously no support of the QTv here.

well sheer power wise, TCPMP is the best media player for any mobile platform but i doubt that it supports the accelerometer and the interface isn't exaclty finer freindly.

Try coreplayer

I've been using coreplayer as well... works great, no conversion needed really... pretty much plays everything...

I'd agree that TCPMP is best for me
I have found that running movies through PocketDivXEncoder first improves the view. I need to test the settings a bit more but video quality between 14 and 20 at full resolution looks great so far (audio 6 or 7)

thanks for your recommendations, will try them.
does any of those support upnp ? like to stream some videofiles from my nas box. therefore reencoding first to divx isn't really an option for me..
btw. while playing around with mediaplayers and wifi today, I burned the battery within TWO hours

Yeah. CorePlayer FTW! I hate TCPMP. CorePlayer is the best media player (video wise). Totally worth paying for. I'd suggest Conduit's Pocket Player for audio files or S2P.

I got Core player and at first before i had the Elite 2.0 ROM it was playing really bad.
Now, For example, i have the last 2 episodes of the latest Doctor Who Series on my diamond and it plays them ReallY well. Its in Sync and its top quality video. I love the VGA screen!!
NOT: These are Xvids that are 500-600MB each so they havent been re-encoded

Hum I have bought coreplayer 1.2.5, if I see a film with the diamond native resolution, it is very slow. Is it normal ?
No problem with the resolution 240*320 but we have a very beautiful screen I would like to see my film on 480*640

Have a full avi rip here of a anime series and TCMP is really crap, it lags, choppy playbacks and freezes then plays. I really dont know how you guys are using it. I am using elite 3.0 and i did try it also on standard manufactures it was the same.

Which version and what settings of Core Player are you using ?
The resolution of the videos is more or less 640x480 ?
I tried like Diagorn the Core Player 1.2.5 and a lot of settings, but on my diamond high quality videos are really slow (the sound is ok, but images is like slideshow)

@yodjar
that is exactly what is happening to me the file itself is around 170mb and its about 22 mins long. Plays beutiful using my p.c and my universal (xda exec) and any other p.c with anything that can play the avi. Please post a solution here if you find one people who seem to have it working dont seem to say how it works it just does.

Nobody ?
I can't understand why this thing doesn't interest ppl more...

I have problems to see some videos
First Sorry for my english I am using a Traslatos then I correct it.
I had moved my videos that I have in my old Eten X800 to the Diamond, most of them can not see but heard, including some filmed with a Photograph camera or with the Eten. That may be happening? I am using the CorePlayer but the same thing happens with some in the Window Media Player 1.2.1 for Arm, with the same Core Player I can see the videos in the Eten.
Thanks Carlos

Yes, Core player is better than TCPMP player I think since I told some videos using y canon ixus 60 and it wouldn't play on the window media player and on TCPMp is jerky but core player is very smooth.

There's a separate thread somewhere about supporting the Qtv chip on the Diamond - have a search if I don't find it before you.

[REQ] avi codes for WMP

hi i have a diamond and i need .avi codes for the windows media player because thats the only way the movies i watch acclerated by the hardware!!! no tcpmp no coreplayer works good enough for me!!!
SO plz if sum one can find them or make them for that matter , all of us with diamonds and HD's will be very happy!!!
ive already searched the forums and no results!!!

Coreplayer plays my movies better than WMP. If you use version 1.3 there's a QTv Display video output mode. Works really good, sharp and flawless video's!!!

i am aware of that.... but i have come to know that WMP/HTC ALBUM can use the inbuilt graphics Accelerator to play the video file .... hence i tested that with .mp4 files!!!! and it worked amazing.... n the same file would not play properly on coreplayer sine there was no accleration, which made me think that if WMP cud play .avi files i woud have even more smooth video quality as coreplayer..... hence i made the post!!!!

It does sounds interesting though, because I prefer using my WMP to play multimedia files. I already use it as a MP3 player, but because WMP can't play avi's I had to use CorePlayer...
