TCPMP problem
I use the TCPMP app to play AVI files with no problems. I downloaded a podcast (MP4) but TCPMP says that this codec was removed. Tried with the WM player and it also does not read the format. I can convert the MP4 files to AVI format but it's a pain to do so.
Does anyone know how to put the codec back into TCPMP?

you could try the retail version of TCPMP... COREPLAYER.
It is still under development, even if it's already available to consumers, so the features aren't complete yet compared to TCPMP...
If you still want to use TCPMP, I would suggest looking for the AVC plugin for it...
The filename I think is AVC.plg. Don't know where to find it though...

The codec was removed because of license issues, you can download it from certain sites and put it back, but it's against the law to do so.

I'm using Sompy MovieEncoder it's work pretty good and it's free. It's compress 750 mb video file to about 150 mb. You can get it from download.com under mobile section

AVI Playback

Hi!
I m trying to get my TTYN II to playback avi files but cant seem to make it happen... I've tried downloading the Core player but that gives an error saying it doest have the MPEG-4 codec? Where do I get the codec's from?
Thanks,
Neil

it shouldnt ask for mp4 codec if you are playing an avi file. different formats. did you download the latest version of core player? make sure you get the one for pocket pc and the latest version is 0.72RC1. avi works fine for me.

AVI is just a file format, it has nothing to do with the codec. So there can be MPEG4 AVIs. Actually most are (DivX and Xvid are MPEG4). MPEG4 videos don't necessarily have the .mp4 extension.
Don't know how to install the codec though, don't have a Kaiser yet lol.

If you installed the core player (http://www.coreplayer.com/) then you should be able to play avi files. What version are you using ?
Try to uninstall and reinstall it and try again.

I'll be watching for responses as I'm also wanting to play MPEG 4 files (with avi extensions - from ATI's Multimedia Centre Software on my desktop PC) on my TyTN II. I'd prefer just to use a codec to provide this functionality in the built in version of pocket media player (what I currently use for wmv files).

Many thanks!
Thank you for that format expansion cab link texarcana, and it's free too. Will try it out on Cristmas day if I have the time.
[Edit] Alas it didn't allow playing of my ATI Multimedia Centre produced mp4 AVI files - back to wmv for me.

So does this work any better than TCPMP at playing back mp4 files?

Better ? Prolly not.
But instead of installing another player, you just add some codecs with it instead.
Anyway, my personal favourite is the core mobile player (which isnt free)

While I still haven't published the "full" Multimedia Bible, the H.264 Bible at http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=The H.264 (a.k.a. MPEG-4 Part 10 and AVC) Bible (in the Wiki) explains a LOT of these issues (what MP4 files are, what they can contain, what players and what codec packs are needed to play them etc)

Ive been using Pocket DivX Player 0.8 and it play7s avi files perfectly
http://www.pocketpcfreeware.mobi/download-pocket-divx-player-0-8.html
its not bad for freeware

Is there any way to get large videos to play @ full speed?

I'm using TCPMP and I can't get bigger files to play smooth for the life of me...any suggestions?

I second that Especially the new Zune is really nice. You can connect via your router to sync your music. I just hate the zune syncing software it's such a pain in the ass. I wish we could sync with WMP. I mean come on seriously.

Pocket Divx encoder
I had the same problem with my touch. TCPMP would not play large video's .avi even though it supports it. I used Pocket Divx Encoder to reduce the .avi according to my screen size and now I can watch any .avi without any problems and the audio and picture is still incredibly clear. I max out video and audio quality still with no problems during playback.
Pocket Divx Encoder is free
Hope this works for you and enjoy your video's

I use CorePlayer (based on TCPMP ) to play my Divx files (700 to 900 Mo each resolution 660*360, datarate 1010kbps) without any specific Mobile transcoding and it plays quite well with the right settings, with some rare glitches (but i guess it will never work flawlessly until we have the real Kaiser drivers).
TCPMP is good, but Coreplayer is faster on the Kaiser from my own experience.
The only down side about Coreplayer (aside from the fact its not freeware) is that it cannot play AC3 sound unlike TCPMP (due to open source licence)

why i dont understand it...when i had my standard att WM 6.0 rom that came with my tilt...i watched avis and mpeg4//divx movies CRYSTAL CLEAR....and thatt was with no htc ca driver or none of that ****. And now ive upgraded to WM 6.1..first duttys hybrid then L26 and now garmins...and each rom has the same problem...old tcpmps crash and when i use the repack tcpmp app and it works....i have SLUGGISH and chopppy fps when i watch avi movies and mpeg stufff. How is this possible with all the new drivers and such....it was crystal clear to watch movies with WM 6.0..but with 6.1 its choppy and ****ty playback? has anybody found a better fix for this other then converting the movies to sccreen resolution?

have lookedeverywhere for pocket divx encoder but unable to d/l it can anyone post please?

Try xvid4psp. It's free, fast and has enough options. I use MP4 iPod 5.0G settings for Kaiser.

thanks will give it a shot

Sorry, my previous post was meant to be reply to felixthecat.
So, to make things clear:
- XviD4PSP is not media player for PPC.
- XviD4PSP is software for converting videos. You can find it here.
- MP4 iPod 5.0G is just one of the format settings in Xvid4PSP.

I use Core Player for videos. Videos converted with XviD4PSP using my settings does not play well in WM player. You can try it with some other settings.
Here are my current settings:
- Format: MP4 iPod 5.0G
- Denoise/Sharpen: Disabled
- Brightness/Contrast: Disabled
- Video encoding: XviD HQ Ultra
- Audio encoding: AAC-LC ABR 128
I don't know what you mean with "bigger vids", but I use it for converting my divx/xvid movies and shows to MP4 and it works well. I think it supports even DVD files, but i didn't try that.
Last time i checked it took 6 minutes to convert some 30 minutes divx show to MP4 (Athlon X2 4000+, 2GB RAM, GeForce 8800GT).

One more thing about Core Player
Core Player with default setup gives me audio out of sync. But you can adjust that in options.

i tried those settings and didn't get a good result

works now i have upgraded coreplayer ... thanks alot

I use it also. I watch moives on my phone and it works fine playing full screen and BT stereo.

try the new win 6.1 that att put out for the tilt... it might be more stable since it is the new shipping rom

Video Convertor

Hi... Which video Converter is the best for Diamond, and which video format is best (mp4, 3gp)
thx

No needs special converter for "Diamond" , You can use any video converter..
or use other players like CorePlayer so u can play without convertion..
I m using Ulead VideoStudio to convert files, in fact just to make them little
smaller to save place and I convert them to MP4 and windows medial player can play them too...

either use coreplayer for .avi or a 3gp convertor for x-vid quality but resized to 3gp (best looking imo)

1- you dont need to counvert video file anymore jast use coreplayer
2- mp4 have greater video and sound quality than 3gp

PocketDivXEncoder
Although WMP won't play the encoded files, a lot of other player will. And it does a fair bit of resizing (480x640). Above all, it's free and works brilliantly. Download it here! Cheers

What is the best codec and the best codec settings for playing/convering video files?

I'm also interested in this question. While no conversion is needed with coreplayer, in action movies it can get choppy. Since there's colors that are lost, some trimming could make it a smoother and space efficient file, while maintaining video quality.

I tried many setting and found something between small files and good quality:
with Ulead VideStudio (or other software)
MPEG-4 Files
24 Bits, 192 x 144, 12 fps
Frame-based
MPEG-4 SP Video: 200 Kbps
32000 Hz, 16 Bit, Stereo
MPEG AAC Audio: 64 Kbps
This setting is good for other device as well..

go with the xvid/divx encoding

MKV Player

Searching for player which playes mkv videos including its subtitles without converting it into some crap. Tried Rockplayer and mvideoplayer but without luck.
Any suggestions or advice ppl?

am using vitalplayer and it's quite good with my mkv files....though i haven't really tried on a movie with subtitles.

Rockpalyer works great!!
But i'm interested in subtitle too

Rockplayer works for me.

M video player

I'm not sure how QQPlayer handles it, but it's another free (great) video player worth downloading and trying.

Still waiting........

Only phones with native mkv video format support can play .mkv videos efficiently. So, forget about mkv, it doesn't matter which player you use. But anyway, the best video player for me is RockPlayer.

Try Vital player. It supports SMI and SRT subtitle files.
But i don't try mkv files. It should work coz rmvb works.

..
QQ Player works great on My HD2.

Vitalplayer works fine.

Mediacoder
I think the best method would to just burn the subtitles into the encoded video...
Furthermore, MKV container can support a lot of different video (most commonly h.264)...
either way, it would be beneficial to convert to h.264 video and aac audio in mp4 container... Then virtually all target devices can play the file. You'll run 720p that way a lot better too (480p ideally to save space)
So, if you have a nvidia card with PureVideo2 I definitely recommend this method...(or a decent cpu)
mediacoder has cuda encoder bundled with it to make quick work of video->mp4
Here are some of my settings that I use in Winmo, plays back flawlessly on android too.
Video:
Avg bitrate - 1200 (you can set it higher if you want... you'll just get a bigger file size with marginally better quality imo)
Format - h.264
Encoder - Cuda (NVidia cards) , ffmpeg (cpu encoding)
Audio:
Format - LC-AAC
Encoder - FAAC
Avg Bitrate - 128 MPEG4
Container - MP4 (select it in both audio and container tab)
Picture:
Resize - 800x480
Aspect Ratio - Set pixel AR, 1:1
Crop - Disabled
Subtitle
Renderer - Default
Scale, position, outline, blur) - adjust for subtitle appearance
ID - 0 to # (set according which subtitle you want to use from the source video
These are just some loose settings to get you into ballpark range...
make sure you preview before you encode a bunch of files and make sure it works on the device.
I also think there is a "portable device" edition of mediacoder
Sorry for the long post.

mobo player plays mkv with subs but it isnt the best. good enough for the meantime till i find something better.
