Converting video for Kaiser

Hi,
What do you use to convert (any) video files to play on your Kaiser?
I have several video files (AVI, MPG, MP4) but it plays not good on Kaiser (sometimes jerky, not smooth).
What should be used for the codec, bitrate, etc ... the best setting for Kaiser.
And then play it using Windows Media or TCPMP of course.
Thanks for any suggestions

I use a program called Pocket Divx Encoder. I used these program to convert my DIVX and WMV files so they can be played backed TCPMP. I have done 300, Transformers, DOOM and more.

NOTE: I genereally convert the DVD to DIVX using Vidomi (700MB to 1000MB), then I convert with this tool.

No, but I am always willing to check out new stuff.

Thanks for the input.
I have checked SpB Mobile DVD, but it does not have BATCH feature to convert more than 1 files at once.
I like to have that feature, convert all files, go to sleep, wake up and all done
After searched, I found "Wondershare Ripper Platinum" which has BATCH feature, but I dont have any experience with it.

Looks good btw ...

Program to convert DVD's and other videos?

Hey everyone,
Is there a good program out there you guys can recommend to convert DVD's and other movies on a computer to a size that fits well on our Tilt screens? I know ClodeDVD Mobile will work but it's a tad pricey ($55).
Are there other alternatives out there that cost less that do a good job?

Check this out. Any Video Converter. Converts all types of video formats. Also has output option for psp or Ipod, which I'm sure would also be suitable for use on a kaiser. Enjoy the open-sourced goodness:

I use this one
Code:

I use Mediacoder for most of my video transcoding needs.

More open source goodness....

"Super File Converter" is another good freebie.
One other option, rarely mentioned, is this:
If you're on a Windows PC and the file is compatible, Windows Movie Maker can be used, not only to trim and edit your vid, also to make it suitable for your Kaiser.
Once you've finished editing (or not), you go to "save movie file" and choose the "other options", one of which is "Video for Pocket PC (Full screen 218 kbps)".
Save it onto your hard drive, then drag it over to your device.

I don't know about converting the videos (yet)...but I do know that using ActiveSync to upload the videos with is SLOW. If you have a Storage Card...just put it in a USB reader and plug it into your desktop for VERY FAST file transfers.
I'm not even looking for a video converter for the Tilt yet until the drivers are fixed...which who knows how long that will take.

For converting videos try this one The pocket DivX encoder (http://www.pocketdivxencoder.net/) it converts .avi files to most of PDAs video size and it also work with subtitle inserting.
A nice one

I use Spb Mobile DVD for converting. Although not free, works very well.

Good Converter
I use Sompy MovieEncoder. It converts my 700mb avi files to 120mb - 135mb in about a minute or two. You'll have to play the file in TCPMP or Coreplayer however. Use a card reader to transfer file to your device. As a new guy to this site, I've read about the driver issue. I really haven't experienced(no 3D games or emulators) it. I will say that Sompy's conversion as heads and shoulders better than Media Player's. If the source is good, you wont have any pixelation in full screen. You might want to try it out. Almost forgot...Sompy works on video files...it's not a dvd ripper. Watching Hitman on it now.

If you already have your movie in a divx format on your pc then for converting from DIVX to QVGA divx try PocketDivXEncoder. If you want to go from DVD to divx, it's a bit more complicated.

DVD to HTC Diamond Touch

Hi all,
Just would like to know if anyone has had the time and the patience to figure out which program to use to rip a Dvd to what ever format is required to watch on the Diamond.
Anyone know what format the files should be???
I have tried CloneDVD Mobile & ImToo Dvd Ripper. However every time I've tried after transfer It can't be read.
I've tried - Mp4 - MPEG-4 multiple types, to Xvid even Iphone & Blackberry MPEG-4 formats.
I had an AVI music video file that I tried sync'ing through WMP just to test it and it worked however quality was absolutely shocking. a 60 mg H Def good looking video on a 17" WSGA screen get transfered and come out looking like a crappy pixelated washed out 16 colour type thing on a 2.8" vga screen.
Anyway
If anybody has sus'd this issue out and has some answers. It would be appreciated
Cheers all and everybody that will or has ever given any help to anyone on this site or not.
"PAY IT FORWARD MF's"

A godd all round freeware program is Super. The User Interface isn't great but you can convert to pretty much any format and also change the fps, audio quality, pic size etc. The link is below

You have to go through 2 pages of crap and on the 3rd page is the download link. Tried to put up link for final page, but it just re-directs you!!
Hope this helps

I use this to convert avis, choose a suitable resolution then lower the audio and video quality settings for smoother playback

Thanks for the quick response Nindy & Timbermill.
I will check them out and holla out the findings.
Timbermill, I maybe wrong but as far as I was aware DivX encoded files cannot be played on the Diamond. Only MPEG4 encoded files
However, can ask you guys what format and settings are you transfering your files to for the diamond?
Cheers again

Here's another nice (and free) tool:
http://mobidvd.xulsoft.org/

I use TCPMP to view my video files, it's great for divx

films for diamond(codec,bitrate...)

so i woould like to convert hd films(mkv container) into dovx or mp4 to watch on my diamond(of course i will change resolution to 640x480), i am not sure what program do i need to do this,also i am not sure what bitrate to use(600 enough??) and what format is better divx or mp4??
also i have some divx films is it better to change them into mp4(again what bitrate and aspect ratio??)?
thx

Movie converters....
Have a look here... there are loads of solutions.

what about codecs and bitrate and aspect ratio???
now i am using xilisoft video converter

I just dump the complete 600MB-700MB. DVD rip into the phone and play it as is with Core Player. No conversions or resizes.
Very good quality. Very good.
Greets.

so you just rip them into divx and copy them into diamond and than wathc?? what about subtitles?!?

Dont use subtitles so I dont know.
Just rip the DVD and dump the ripped file into Internal as is.
I use Coreplayer to play and it works awesomely.

For converting DVD's Spb Mobile DVD is a really functional converter. I don't know if it still has that audio bug in Vista, but it works great on XP.
For other video files use Coreplayer (1.3 is the latest version), consider it as the VCL player for the PC (if I may compare).

i have coreplayer 1.2.5 not sure how much better 1.3
i use vista and i have some dvd-r at home but when i rip them ant than put them on diamond i have black flags at the botom and up(probably aspect ratio problem?)

1.3 doesn't differ much from 1.25. And you might wanna change the zoom to "stretch to screen". Pixel aspect ratio is best on "auto". Be sure to put the video output to "qtv display" and enable the "TytnII driver mode". I got every movie going flawlessly on my MDA IV. (Maybe some frame drops on the 1st 30 seconds but rewind and enjoy the video...)

it is enabled and i also use stetch to screen but there is stil black flags at the botom and up?!?!
and i cannot get why i cannot convert hd films into sd(640x480) films?!?

I'm using SmartMovie, which is the only player for WM with subtitle support as far as I know. It comes with its converter on the PC side. See Lonely Cat Games web site for details.
