Diamond video - Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General

Hello everyone,
when i transfer videos that i've recorded from my diamond to my computer, there is no sound in the video, is it normal?
Thanks for your answers.

have you installed all codecs for your computer?
Like kazaa-codec pack?

Check in the camera settings if you have: Record with audio on or off.

@ riel
i haven't yet installed the kazaa codec pack, i've just tried to play the video from VLC and Windows media player.
@sergio pc
when i play the video on my Diamond its ok, there is sound. it's only when i play the video on my computer that there's no audio.

the video format is not compatible by default with desktop windows media player and hasnt been for years on HTC devices - a real pain. One of my early devices allowed me to choose to record in AVI which was great.
You can try selecting the capture format to H.263 because I think from memory it is more compatible but I think the quality is worse.
I did notice when nosing around in the registry of my Diamond that there was some refernce to AVI in the camera settings. I started a thread on it to see if we could get AVI enabled but no one seemed that bothered which I thought was strange.

Sorry forgot to say that they do play in Quick Time ok which is bl**dy frustrating as I hate Quick Time (and iTunes!!!)

forget that - I cant seem to get them to play in Quick Time anymore.
Try using http://www.mediaconverter.org/ or an offline tool like Xilisoft

you are off topic... you dont have any problem related with your Diamond but with your PC media player....
try to google first .... like "k-lite player"
Good luck and enjoy you Diamond !!!

Here's an article on how to use videos taken from your Diamond - both adding codecs on your PC and converting the media to an avi file (from PC or on your phone itself): http://www.fuzemobility.com/?p=981

thanks a lot guys, i've downloaded kazaa codec pack and it's working now

Thank you all it worked great with me too after downloading the K-Light.

can I ask you where you downloaded the kazaa codec from, as usually so many come up when you google it and most look dodgy, any help!

Good luck!

I got a feeling noone got it right; Its K-lite codec pack. It includes media player classic and works.

i had the same problem in a Mac.
Just changed the extension to 3gp and all is fine.

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 playback on PC-No sound?

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)
THX
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.
Mike
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

Can't play my recorded video on windows?!

Hey! Just transfered a video as I did record with my TD, but I can't play it on windows? It neither says how long the video is, or can see it..
You'll need to download divx codecs.
http://www.free-codecs.com/Codec_Pack_All_In_1_download.htm
For some reason windows media player can't recognize video taken from a PPC by default. It also can't play a DVD by default. They make you install all this extra crap before you can get to the meat & potatoes.
How shaggy! But thx though ! ^_^
Download
Should the codecs be downloaded to my laptop or the diamond, are the codecs for the diamond or laptop?
Codecs are for your PC/laptop. Just download, install, & open the files you want to play.
since I am no friend of codec-pacs... would you be so kind and let us know exactly which of them is used?

many thanks!

Get Video Off Of The Tilt!!!!

Ok. I recorded some video on my AT&T Tilt with a memory card. It plays fine on my phone. Well I want to get it on my computer. When I tried to, it was in the MP4 format. So I opened it with Quicktime and iTunes and it wouldn't play. It said there was an error. So I was gonna convert it. I tried to, but it gave me a warning saying that it would have no sound, so I didn't do that. Then I downloaded VLC Player and when I played the videos, they didn't have sound. I tried putting them in Windows Media Center, didn't work. I tried ActiveSync. Didn't work. There has to be some possible way to do this. PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!!!
Same thing happens to me. Now I just record in the other format, QIF I believe. And that works fine.
THANKYOU!!!!!!!!!!
how did you even get "good" video playback?
how did you even get "good" video on the TILT? is it the change in file type that makes the video better in itself? where do you change it?
You can change to CIF by selecting it from the Capture Settings menu (hit menu when the camera is running) under Resolution. The capture format can be changed from MPEG-4 to H.263 if you go to Advanced > Capture Format.
Recording in a well-lit environment helps. I'm not usually affected by placebo, but I and a few other users have reported increased camera performance after installing the latest test drivers for the Kaiser from htcclassaction.org. It DID seem that the framerate was higher. I can't rule out the possibility that updating to windows mobile 6.1 may have made a difference, but I know I don't keep apps running in the background and the comparison whilst not scientific would be pretty fair.
What can be used to view H.263 on the home pc? Will media player play it? And is there a good reason why it just doesn't record to .wmv or regular old mpeg? As you can tell I am a moron when it comes to video.
VLC will read it

QuickTime will play H.263 encoded files.
The Tilt does not use WMV or MPEG because they do not have formats optimized for mobile devices, so the files end up being huge.
Thanks, that makes sense!
my mp4 videos run fine on wm player! try downloading the vista or xp codec pack which is available on most torrent sites
I know its old but anyway...I record video w/ my kaiser, bluetooth the video over to my laptop, convert with WM convert, open w/ movie maker, edit then post. Sooooooooo easy and no cables required!
You're all going through waaaay to much by using converters & what not. When recording in mpeg4 format just rename the files to ".3gp" after you transfer them to your computer and they will play regularly through quicktime with sound & everything intact.
download K lite codec pack: http://www.free-codecs.com/download/K_lite_codec_pack.htm
it will allow windows media player to play ANYTHING, throw and file at it and it will play
VLC Works for me
VLC works for me, try it

Use a converter to be able to edit the video in windows movie maker, it takes like 10 seconds to convert a MPEG4 to WMV. (i've got the codec pack but in order to edit the video you need to convert it.)

Bad video Playback

Hi,
I have PDA's for years and have never had problems with video playback (full films etc.)
But the diamond playback is terrible I have tried loads of different roms but it doesnt make a difference.
I've tried using media player and TCPMP 0.72 both video is very jumpy, The same files played great on all other pocket pc's that i have had.
Any ideas what I can do?
Read the stickies at the top.
Thanks will give it a go, But I have the same issue with the Iplayer app. Kind of defeits the object of it if I have to download on iplayer, upload to pc, convert then back onto ppc.
Is there any way round it without converting as like i said the same video files have played perfectly on my last 5 ppc's.
Seems strange that a more powerful one cant play them
Divx do a free mobile player on their site, I use Core player it plays all avi,divx etc and its great its listed below ( FREE to you VERSION ), until someone removes it
MOD edit:
until someone removes it
