Please help with testing a video encoder - Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General

Hello,
I have made a video encoding GUI for the blackstone, which allows smooth playback of hi-res videos in album.
With the recent change of adding VGA resolution to the GUI, it should now be usable on the diamond and raphael.
The original thread is located here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=467112
Could someone be so kind to encode a couple of movies/trailers or short clips and tell me how the playback is in album on the Diamond?
Thank you.

ill give it a try!

Thanks!
Please let me know asap how it turns out
Make sure to select the VGA resolution though, else it will make the video in Blackstone/Xperia format.

done testing!!!!
amazing quality!!! better the the settings i have for the coreplayer!!
the prob i get with coreplayer is that evry 1-2 min the video skips a frame!!
but after watching the video on HTC ALBUM no frame losses what so ever!!!
did further testing played this file in coreplayer and the same skiping of frames but real smooth in ALBUM!!!
gr8 work btw!!
video length= 0:22:20
File size after coversion=106MB before conversion 180MB
hope this help you!!

Core player can not handle these files.
Album uses hardware accelerated playback. Coreplayer does not (yet).
Thank you for your help.
Post further feedback in the original thread if you wish.

The converted file didn't show up in HTC album... and hence I can play it using the album...
But WMP can play the video...
Any ideas why?
BTW, I'm using official ROM (2.03.707.2 WWE)

somebody try coreplayer...

somebody give coreplayer a whirl...

tcpmp has worked in the last couple ROMs. I've been using 0.81.
How's the performance? Is the processor fast?

nice and speedy. I never found the original TyTN a slouch, but now that there's a lot of memory available I can run several apps in parallel (even while playing long audio files).
i have installed coreplayer and tcpmp player on my kaiser. both are excellent on performance. the only thing is that the tcpmp player used to be able to play all the WMV files in my wm5 o2 flame but now on the wm6 kaiser, it wont show the wmv files at all in my video folder.
anyone knows why? is it my setting problem?
thanks, eric

This is an issue with the wmv files that they included on wm6. There is a posting somewhere on the codecodec forums linking to a posting here which has a zip file with the dll's you need. Just unzip them into the codecodec dir.

And I quote.
"Finally, in order to test the horsepower of the TyTN II I installed The Core Pocket Media Player and watched a few sample videos. What amazed me here is that I was able to put a video clip on the internal storage memory of the device that was NOT optimised for pocket PC and despite the DivX video being 640 x 320 it played back without so much of a stutter! This is something that I’ve never been able to do on any other device."

thanks so much i found it and fixed it.
How did you fix it?
i downloaded the 2 wmvencoder.dll files and dragged them into the windows dir, then installed .81 rc1. wmv can be decoded now but the performance is not good. i m still trying to find out why. but now at least it can play wmv files.
Does anyone know the settings for TCPMP and the Kaiser so that it plays video correct when slide is open and flipped up?
At the moment it plays ok in portrait (tap the screen and it goes landscape full screen) but when I actually open and tilt I cant get it to rotate and play full screen. it stays in portrait???
any ideas?

I experience exactly the same thing. I can play wmv files, but the performance is poor.
Did you by any chance find a solution?
PS! The poor performance is experienced in both TCPMP and Coreplayer.
Check this thread out...

Per the above post.
"... I'm using TCPMP and I've found that the following steps help relieve some of the problems.
1. Options/Video:
Change from DirectDraw to Raw FrameBuffer
Uncheck "Dither" (whatever that is)
2. Options/Video/Pixel Aspect Ratio: set to Auto
3. Options/Settings/Advanced
Check "Slow Video Memory"
4. Options/Settings/Buffering
Change "Preload at Underrun" to 85%
Note: I'm using PocketDIVxEncoder to convert everything to AVI files with the right audio/video size and format and I've tweaked the rom quite a bit. The most important setting change I've found to improve response of programs/video came from the vx6700 forums:
H_KEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/System/GDI/GLYPHCACHE/limit
change setting to either 32758 or 65536
I've tried both, and I'm using 32758 because it's a smaller memory footprint, but 65536 appears slightly faster.
"
Has not helped much. I am trying to play an H264 file encoded at 640x480, 23.976 frame rate. palying back via the FFmpeg AVC format. Audio sounds fine, but I am getting less than 1 frame per second of video. Is it the H.264 codec? I know it is close to the mp4 format, but one of the posters in the referenced thread said these settings helped (for .mp4), where for me it they do not.

Good video codecs and settings for Wing

Hey, I was wondering what video apps would one use to create 30fps video playback on the TMobile Wing.
If not the video app, then what codec and settings could I use to playback good video... I'd hate to buy a Apple Nano to playback videos..
Thanks

????? - tcpmp is working perfect for me.... for watching movies....
but making videos with built in camera - there will not be an app with 30fps -- coolcamera is better then built in - but only 20fps...
please describe your wish a little better

Hi,
I'm using Windows Media to view videos captured by the device itself without issues.

"The Core Media Player"? I'm trying to download that without success..
What I'm trying to do is convert QT's of my demo reel to a format that my Wing can play without dropped frames and I was looking for video settings that could help make transcoding smooth for the wing...

Ya.. So I download TCPMP and pocketEncoder. My playback on my wing is still choppy, but get a bit better when I reduce my fps to 15.
What settings are people using to get 30fps?
BTW, I'm using TTrans001's latest OpenTouch v3_Biggie
Thanks

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

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
http://www.erightsoft.com/S6Kg1.html
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
http://www.pocketdivxencoder.net/
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.
