Video from the Kiser on a PC

OK, so I have recorded a Video on my phone and can see it with the PPC Media Player v10 on it.
I get this .mp4 file to my PC. Now what? Windows Media Player has no friggin support to view .mp4 files!
I found alternative viewers, that all nice, but how do I convert this so I can see it on any pc or inclusively upload to lets say YouTube?

Try Quicktime....

VLC media player...

Thanks to both of you. I tried both, and VLC actually has no audio...
Re: Quicktime, yes, it is pretty ubiquitous, but requires QuicktTime to be installed.....
I need to convert this to something more portable?

I changed to the other format.

what , where?

In the settings of your camera you can change the format it creates. Put the phone into video mode and then go into the camera settings.

You just need to get the right codec pack to enable Windows Media Player to support .mp4 files. A quick google search for 'windows media player mp4' turned up what looks to be a good howto on the subject:

I see. I will give the h.263 a test.. not sure yet what characteristics this codec has... let me google it...

Great. Now I am able to see the video on my PC... but still haven't found a nice (aka free) conversion app that would allow this to be seen on other computers.
Anyone with good and free application suggestions?

I envy you guys. I still own my O2 xda iis and like it very much. I wish I could afford this. I just want one that's unlocked.

The KLite Codec Pack, which is really handy (tons of codecs in one install) gives WMP support for the MP4 and h263 vids. 3GP can only be played in Quicktime, I belive. Quality wise, they should all be about the same (pretty terrible).

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.

If that doesnt work (I havent tried doubletwist) maybe one of these apps might work.
I dont have my captivate yet (never owned an android phone before either) so let me know if any of those work out.

if you manually add your media to your device, you can arrange it however you want....beauty of android=its yours to do with what you want

By videos do you mean movies? If that's what you're doing then I use DVD Decrypter to rip them to my laptop then AutoGK to convert them to XviD. I just leave all settings default and set the size to 1CD (700MB). The movies play fine and it's not like it's taking up too much storage space.

I play .avi due to its file size.
Otherwise I don't miss itunes except for pod casts.
Now I can put what media I want on my sdcard and don't worry about it.
You get used to it.

Drag and drop is the perfect way to put anything on any device.
The fact that people want junk programs (especially one like iTunes, which loads a chunk of it's bloated self at startup and slows your computer down) is mind boggling.

Try isyncr. It doesn't require a program on your computer and will sync play-counts and ratings back and forth. I really missed iTunes myself and this helped with the transition.

Isyncr is by far the best especially if you add the wifi tool for a buck I think...never even have to plug phone into computer just walk into house and click on wifi app and auto syncs what you select
Edit....Of course that requires a wireless network

thanks...ill check it out...i tried playing hd video (avi format)...it ran very nicely but no sound
hey can u please lemme know from where can u download .apk files for apps and games? ? ?i just learned how to do sideloading....

Put me down as another iSyncr supporter. I like using iTunes to manage my music library, but not lock down my device.
In handbrake, I've had good success with using the default iPhone preset, but changing the horizontal resolution to match the source video (up to 800). A high quality 2hour movie runs about a gig that way. Medium quality is about 400mb.

[Q] tcpmp or alike for hd7?

Dont think that this has been discussed before so I am wondering if we can have all formats of video and audio on this phone and playable like it used to be with the wm6 phones with tcpmp.
Procedure would be to use the hd7 as usb drive and then drop the avi, mkv, flv files to the phone to avoid zune as it doesnt accept anything besides mp4 etc.
Then i believe wm7 requires special apps? so we cant use .cab?
Also i was wondering how do i get tomtom on this?
Sorry i am completely lost with the wm7 and need help.

zune will autoconvert many videos. I haven't had any trouble with videos on my hd7 not playing, just drag and drop and it should make it work.

What program are you using to open them? All .mkv so far have worked fine for me with MX Player, even hi10 ones.

Personally I use ES File Explorer to access my PC shares, and then open with MX. Works fine as long as the file doesn't have monstrous bitrates. Never used Smartshare so I can't help you with it. Give it a bit more time to see if anyone who knows about drops by.
