Please try this if you are suffering problems with video playback on your Kaiser (NOT VIDEO GAMES).
Go to the OFFICIAL DivX website and download the latest full package. Try out the DivX converter using the setting 'Mobile' (you can try it for a period then if you like it you can then purchase it).
This device has its faults but if you are not prepared to work around this you should not post on this developers site!
I can play any movie file over WiFi from my WLHDD2.5 in perfect rendition (for a PDA) after doing this with the basic TCPMP set to GDI playback.
JUST GIVE IT A TRY, you have nothing to lose!!!
EDIT..Use the .81 version of TCPMP if you can get it, buffer processing is faster.

Again, we all know we can view videos at a good speed after having converted them. But our Kaiser should read them with no conversion at all.
We have enough solutions to convert videos, thanks for this one, but it is just one more ...

I can not assist the mentally blocked so please do not give negatives until people have had time to try it THANKS!!
One would like to ask where it is said that Windows Mobile plays un-converted files??? It is primarily designed to sync via Windows media player.(as is the iSpudge with its PC software)..All other video playback is user selected and not fully supported. No lawsuit here I'm afraid...
OH, and BTW, did you selectively miss this in the first post???

No, I am stuck here with TCPMP until I get back to UK to purchase the new Coreplayer as my cred card wont work from the UAE online.
I am just trying to pass on any workarounds I find to others. I expect a massive factor of improvement when I get it but anything before that will also help others.
ah....massive improvement huh
is coreplayer really that good?
really wish to try it, only if i no need to pay 1st
but then the divx convertor is really easy to use, just that it takes time to convert

Yep, it does!! But has patience been lost? We are developers... Not miracle workers.. Even iTunes takes full control of the other type of unit (COMPLETELY!) to convert...I think the fact we still have a factor of control on our devices to CHOOSE is befuddling people... If it was all fully auto then XDA would no longer exist!!!
ahh....hehe, good good
well...maybe coz i am converting prison break and stuff which is quite big in file....hehe
thanks all again

Video??? I can't even get WMP to sync more than 30 songs before dropping the connection. It took me 5 nights of sitting there reconnecting every 90 minutes or so just to get 4GB of music synced up. I have to say, this is one job the iPhone handles WAY, WAY, WAY better. The whole MS thing is just sad and disappointing.
It's funny that everyone talks about how it is nice to be able to install 3rd party apps to make your device better. Yes, you can not yet install 3rd party apps on the iPhone, but the biggest point is, in many case you don't need to. The browser works great, chat works great, music playback works great, video playback works great, google maps work great, email works great, etc....
My suggestion for video on the Kaiser is, don't waste your time with it. I have wasted 10s of hours trying and it is just not worth it. I have tried 6 different encoders including DivX, Pocket Divx, Handbrake, 4 different file types and countless bitrates, framerates and codecs.
tbh,i would really wanted an iphone but there are some major flaw that why i din buy it although its my dream phone
1st, its not available in my place officially(only can get cracked version), no 3g, no mms,can edit word,excel and blah blah
and although i dont knw will i face the same problem when i am syncing songs, as i haven try yet
but no, you dont need to waste 10hours to get ur kaiser to play video
just downlaod tctm, install it in kaiser
download divx, convert it as the 1st post says so, then upload to ur device...done
less then 30minutes all done

OK, BUT, please don't express your opinion until you have tested this yourself and posted any problems with it! Let others decide???
Many thanks..
That's a great idea, Farsquidge!
I know this topic has been covered extensively (see here), but all applications which provide help to the user are welcome.
A freeware alternative is available, too, which you may be interested in (and requires a bit of tweaking for us tech-inclined): http://www.pocketdivxencoder.net/

I am so sorry for your loss. My mother had breast cancer year before last, and my grandmother before her. It's great to know, though, that our children may have no need to worry about such a devastating disease with the research our generations are putting into this area. God bless you, Farsquidge!

I use a product called "Wondershare DVD Ripper Suite" (has a ripper and a converter) and it has a nice batch feature as well. I have also had success with "SPB DVD" and "DVD to PocketPC" by a company called Makayama. "Ashampoo Shrink and Burn 3" does fine for me as well. Also, I have noticed that Windows Media Player performs some type of conversion/compression when syncing. For example, "Star Wars 3" is a 855 MB WMV file, but when I synced it to my device it was only 359 MB. However, when I transferred the original 855 MB file to my storage card using a card reader it was still 855 MB - what is Windows Media Player doing besides syncing?

It is probably doing its best to convert a video file (of which there are MANY formats) to the preferred WM AVI PDA format. If you do not have the corresponding CODEC in your PC WM player it will not even try..Everyone has to try to standardise their media format for the player designate. If you expect the file you have on your PC/Laptop to play the same on your portable device 100% without conversion then I am afraid you are living in cloud cuckoo land! The processor speed and video codecs are radically different for WM devices against full Windows machines. (irrespective of any driver omission before anyone starts!!)
Aspect Ratio is not only for screen playback... it is for what you expect from your device....
Hi,
What is the best video converter, which can convert DVDs. And also which has a time required indicator. Any ideas???
Thanks
i'd say that very much come down to what you wish to convert dvds into
Oh sorry, i meant to convert it to play in my wizard, probably wmv or avi, with good quality.
Go for DVD Catalyst, work perfect, and you can try it out for a few rips, and I think there is even a free version too. I had tried a few others, like Spb's app, but it had problems, like no audio in the end result.
But, currently I'm in the process of ripping my collection. Not to mention, there are tons of settings and features, more than any other app I've tried, only about $20.
DVD Catalyst GT
Nice app to RIP videos and dvds but dont support vcd...
But also you can try the SPB mobile DVD nice app too. and it lets you to chose one piece of the entire DVD!!! amazing isnt it?
MEncoder is a great app that is free. I must tell you though if your looking for something that is brainless this is not the application to use. However in my opinion it is the best app for video conversion.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MEncoder
I use Total Video Converter. TVC. It's not free, but it's pretty cheap and gets the job done easily
I use DvDFab Platinum+Moblie; perfect 1:1 copies (erm i mean backups) disregarding for what the protection is on the dvd (CSS, RipGuard, SecuROM SafeDisc (version 3), Sony ARccOS, TAGES)
I like it b/c of above (obviously ) but also b/c you can chose to remove any part of the movie, unwanted audio channels, menus, previews etc.
Has preset and quality options to convert for devices, ie WM, zune, ipod, psp, nds, etc..
About €70/$90.

I ahve a hava platinum HD it will "sling" video to like 1 internet connection and 2 locals (I think, dont hold me to these numbers) I know it takes more connections than the comperably priced slingbox, I got mine used on fleabay for like 50$ it would be nice to controll my 500+ channel 250 hours SA2 tivo hak'd to the ma'x, and Id love to serve it up to my g1 in a long line or anywhere else I get bored, which is often.
one exists for the maemo hildon nokia N800 so maybe it wouldnt be a difficult port, it would be very cool and these boxes unlike the sling are very cheap, if HD is just 50$ imagine the deals you could find on a standard def unit, Id also like to see an xbox port of the same player, but thats a whole other discussion board, as it is it streams to PC, smartphone by MS, and windows media and xbox360(i think) so the standard is there to be sniffed if that helps any...
bhang
im in the same boat. i got a hava player a few months back, streamed it great to my old dash. then i got the g1. monsoon said they wont even start to develop a player until they watch the android market for a while to gauge interest..
i hope sling is getting their app out soon.... the petition is only growing
cool Im not the only one
I looked at prices and specs of slings and havas and the hava seemed to be the hands down winner...
if hava wont do it maybe somebody will R.E. it and we will get a hava player for anything we want, thats the reason HAVA needs to do it before the demand gets big, or somebody will want to stream the hava to sumthin they have thats not supported and do it themselves...
that almost sounded like a threat, but it wasn't....
bhang
edit:
an xbox version would be nice too....
dont need it. just install orb onto your pc where you normally watch your hava, and install opera browser on your android device. Set the default stream to 3gp and you can download a stream file that is about 700mb. Works great on my droid, but unfortunately the default media player does not use the full screen. The audio and vid is still great quality and the orb interface (mycast.orb.com) has a great interface for choosing the station you want to stream. I prefer it to the virtual controller of hava actually.

I've had a Hava for around 2 years now, they say early next year, look for the app a year after that... They rarely hit target dates.

Thank you for this!!!! Just got my At&t Nexus and was thinking about my Hava player... I bought the app on my Iphone and loved it. This is going to be great... will install and give it a shot tonight. Assuming this works over 3G which will be a great advantage to the iphone player
TestTube Android HAVA Player
Search for TestTube on Market. I have a G1 and TestTube works great as a HAVA player on my phone. Setup was a little tricky. I had to port forward port 1778 on my router to my HAVA device. Other tricky piece of the setup was making sure I had the correct HAVA remote control code.
can not find the software anyplace....
Has anyone seen were it went to
I've been using testube for a while, using it for my titanium hd. I just heard that Monsoon Multimidea released the Vulkano app across many platforms and it's backwards compatible with the hava devices as well (not just the new vulkano devices). Its a free app, and though I havent used it yet, its seems just like what we've wanted.
Fellow iphone users have mentioned to me that the Vulkano app does infact work with the old hava devices.

Am thoroughly enjoying my N7, as I imagine, you are yours!
Here's a quandary I'm facing: I am an Amazon Prime member, and enjoy their video selection--both the free and for sale/rental. I mostly use Linux on my PC's. Amazon's streaming video uses Flash, which works fine in Linux, but not on the N7. I've thought about Netflix, but they're not (and probably never will be) Linux-compatible. However, Netflix is very Android/N7 compatible. All that put together, means I can't find a streaming service that works the way I do.
Anyone else in the same boat? What are you trying as a solution?
I was able to get flash working using Firefox and flash (both were side loaded) I found some helpful information searching on xda on how to get that working. Results have been outstanding for my friend who logs into a flash enabled site for realtor work. Haven't tested amazon videos yet but i will. Important: Chrome does not support Flash and the plan is that it never will.
Netflix works great. I sometimes really hate their isn't more selection. I keep it because my Dad uses it.
HBOgo doesn't work yet. I will be watching for a update because i have Directv and will install it as soon as it is available.
I already pulled some DVD's over (Star Wars, Finding Nemo) Handbreak and other software to get that on the nexus 7, looks and sounds fantastic. Everyone at work went crazy when they saw Emire Strikes back running.
I haven't tried or researched true streaming from my pc on my home network yet. I think that would be fantastic since I have a lot of content stored in avi's and other formats.
So far my tablet and my wife's are just amazing. She has the 8 Gig and I have the 16 Gig. We have both had ours since Tuesday.
I still am on the fence about the damn NexusQ. I would really like one but for 299.00 it just seems like I could buy another nexus 7 or something else instead. If that thing supported more than 2 speakers on its own I would have probably have tried to setup the extra speaker set I have in my office with one of those.
We need to get a really good software suggestion for nexus 7 thread going. Freenote, Moon+ reader, Cloud print, Sprinkle free have all been useful or fun to try. Sketchbook mobile works great. I am waiting on a screen protector before I try drawing with my dagi stylus.
I'm in the same boat...I was thinking about trying to load flash somehow...

In regards to Handbrake what format did you choose when converting the video. I'm guessing it was an avi?
Apple tv 2 is what i pick when I use handbreak, I noticed on the tablet while watching the movie that there are a few sounds streams, pick the 2nd one and you should be able to go higher on the volume.
The files are converted to m4v format and if you put them in the movies folder they show up and run right out of the google play list in the personal videos tab.
---------- Post added at 02:32 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:22 PM ----------
well instant video on amazon works in firefox with flash loaded. I'm watching the preview on amazon for 21 jump street.
The full DVD in vob files pulled to my desktop computer is what I start with when using handbrake. I am using a decrypt program to pull to my desktop. Using apple tv 2 option in file mode I am getting m4v format as a result. I need to try some avi files and see what I can come up with as a result.

Thanks guys, I have tried handbrake before and it wouldnt do copyright protection. Alcohold 120% has copyright protection too. Thank you LoopDogg, both of those worked perectly. AnyDVD copied all the files perfectly. Just gotta see how to convert those .vob to my girls phone or whatever she wants them on. i am using the clonedvd as i type and it let me choose a format type which has samsung phone (any android) will report on that after it finishes. about 1hr left now.

Indeed. Excellent software. Does all kinds of stuff.
Question, when converting .vob to any other format, it loses quality right? I love AnyDVD, copy entire DVD by-passes protection and when I play it through my laptop to my TV, quality is perfect, well because it plays the .vob files. But after converting to divx, mpeg4, or one other format i cant remember, quality is lose even if screen size is set to bigger, or quality output is raised, it still loses quality. Just dont know what options to choose to keep a good quality image. Mostly gonna be used for my girls phone and laptop to TV. Thank you.
Also, Ive chosen Android or Samsung Android phones format and quality is lose. Quality lose is normal?? Ive never really ripped a DVD, the first program I got, 123copyDVD was stupid. never did its thing and couldnt pass copyright protection.. even after I bought it and all.
I believe only an MKV with AC3+ and DTS won't affect the audio... Streaming an .mkv can be a headache...
I still use DVD fab, and I use plex to stream them.

Quite easily. That is what scientists do all the time - "the collecting of information about a particular subject". If you don't know something then you research to try and learn more or find out what you don't know.
