I have a few different video converters that I legally own, but none of them list the Xperia X1 as an option. What other media device would be the best option to convert my movies to? And if you don't mind getting technical, what would be the best video size, compression, video and audio quality, etc.? Thank you.
WMP is the only player that is hardware accelerated on the Xperia. Convert your movies to mp4 with this:

For other formats use CorePlayer or its free version TCPMP, but be mindful that the playback will NOT be perfect. CorePlayer is perfect for YouTube vids as well.
P.S. Use search next time. There are dozens of threads about this. The link I posted is a "sticky" on the front page...
I did use the search, but couldn't find any specific data so that I could try and create my one device format to convert it to...like for CloneDVD Mobile. But thank you for the link.

Hiya,
Since all my old music video's are in 320x240 format I'd like to re-encode my ORIGINAL music video files into 640x480 format.
Until now I've been using Nero Recode which gave me ease of use and a pretty nice result.
What program(s) are you using to encode your material and what settings?
I know the Diamond can pretty much play a divx/xvid without re-encoding, but I'd like a smaller filesize so I can place more files on it.
pocketdivx encoder is free, simple to use and produces good results
I use SPB Mobile
Thx for the suggestions.
I've been searching/reading a bit and I'm not an encoding expert, but from what I've read the best possible format would be H.264/AVC?
It would be awesome to get such an awesome movie quality that 'certain other brand phone users' would turn green in envy
My search continues!
Check THIS out for alot of info on the H264 format
I've tested a bit around with encoding Movie files.
Under Windows i become good results with Super from eRightSoft
But i use the most time Linux Debian. There is "AviDemux" you're friend
I'd converted some of my Musicclips in MP4 with AviDemux. In advance:
"MPEG-4 ASP Xvid" at "800KBit VBR"
"AAC (FAAC)" Audio at "128KBit"
Super from eRightSoft in advance:
"H.264 AVC" at "1000KBit CBR"
"AAC (LC)" at "128KBit" Audio
The results seems very pretty so far. But the video seems to stuck if the Bitrate is more than 1100KBit. All tested with Mobile Windows Media Player, because i dont have Coreplayer at the moment.
The old TCMP 0.xx gives an horrorble output. Too many framedrops etc.
Which formats are natively supported from the Qualcomm Chipset, knows that anyone ?
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.

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:

I use TCPMP to view my video files, it's great for divx
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.)
Which is better Mort player...Nitrogen..Core player... What pro and cons does each have.. Is core player in tcpmp?
Thanks Guys
Let me know
TCPMP is free and does the same job as CorePlayer ... although is not as sleek as the last one, TCPMP can play .avi and most of the formats flawlessly. On the other hand CorePlayer has a lot of other functions (youtube integrated app, support for alot of other formats, better looking and much more user-friendly etc.) so i can say it deserves the money (if u have no problem spending some) and i personally prefer coreplayer. But than again i remind you that the TCPMP does the job right.
Some users reported that CorePlayer sometimes skips frames and the playback is buggy...i didn.t encounter that and most of this happend because of bad playback setup.
Regarding mort player and nitrogen ... i don.t like neither. I prefer PocketMusic Bundle, for mp3 playback, it is in my opinion the best player there is, especially when you use your headphones
PS: the answer is simple: both perform very well, is just a matter of wich one you prefer and of course remember that CorePlayer is not free
i convert to mp4 and watch everything on windows media player mobile because it is the only reliable app that you can use to watch your Raphael on TV with no bugs

HTC Album and Windows Media Player have access to built in hardware accleration of MP4 formatted video. Coreplyer is not match for either of the two aforemention apps regarding MP4.
I still find TCPMP more reliable when streaming video or TV from Orb, better than both WMP and Coreplayer.
I use Coreplayer primarily for XviD/DivX video.

Salut,
Do you have a copy handy?
Mersi
Google up "TCPMP Tech1 PRO7 Digital Play HD StandAlone Version.cab" and give it a shot. It is an excellent media player, and is much better assembled than earlier versions. It plays FLV videos really well.
Thanks
I was asking for PocketMusic actually
Thank you
What program do most people use to convert their 3gp Video files to mp4 ?
My media streamer doesn't support 3gp. I tried Handbrake but wasn't happy with the results.
Sent from my Desire HD
I use SUPER 2010
quite simply Avidemux 2.5. Best video converter hands down. And it's free.

Simply drag any video in. On the left you can choose what video and audio codec to use. I believe mpeg4(divx) for video, and aac for audio work on the DHD. Then simply choose what container (format) you want to save it as. I believe mp4 works with the DHD. With these settings the Desire HD will be able to playback your videos in hardware mode since these codecs are supported at the hardware level thanks to the new snapdragon chipset. The advantage is its better on battery life, and plays back MUCH smoother than software mode.
After you choose what you want, click save.. and the important part is to write .mp4 at the end of your filename when saving! So it should look like "myfilename.mp4" without quotes for example.
Really brilliant software. Works with every format, even MKV.
edit: maybe i should make a guide for others..
There is also the free and excellent Format Factory :
