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

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....
ok i have core player, i watch divx films withou lag or anythink just beautiful.

When you convert the film DVD files (using say DVDFab) you can convert them with subtitles.....mind you, the text is so small that its impossible to read...good luck though mate, you must have fantastic eyesight
Rather than watching a movie with subtitle, I would like to have a music player that display lyrics. Anyone got a suggestion?

I’m looking for a video converter and got the dvdfab trial.
maybe there is a subtitle plugin for TCPMP that works on diamond? And then convert subtitles to smi. Is it possbile?
you can used pocket divx encoder its freeware just google it!
you can use it to hard encode the subs onto the video.
not sure how your gonna be able to read em tho!
check it out here Opera Mobile it's a tad bit buggy. obviously beta. but flash is working somewhat.. it takes a lil fingering out to get it working. but youtube videos are playing in full screen glory on my expo now!
enjoy at your own risk
if you've already got opera installed this will over install but you will keep your bookmarks and what not.. mine did anyway

while opera is a fine browser it trys to emulate a desktop experience, which isnt all bad, it does a good job.
UCWeb on the ohter hand doesnt try to be a desktop, is a browser which knows its on a mobile device and does everything it can to accommodate to that fact.
Which model?
The LG Expo or GW820 or 825 is not listed as a model to pick - what's the next best choice for WVGA screen? HTC HD2?

Choose the default version
Tried the HD2 version before you mentioned the default one, Phatride - seems to work ok so far, but still prefer Opera Mobile 10 b3
on this beta and the release i noticed that pictures were blurry and loaded slowly. i did not try you tube because i use coreplayer for youtube because it plays youtube very clear (h264 720p and FLV) if you change the format in the settings under channel
CorePlayer
I have heard of this coreplayer, but don't know where to get it. Can someone post a link?
Is this the best video viewing experience on the lg expo? I used Divx Player on my Fuze, and it did decent. is Divx and CorePlayer comparable?
Thanks.
Hi Guys & gals.
Since VLC player has already been ported to iPhone 4, & the sources available for anyone to comile it for any other platform of his/her choice, what's stopping someone from porting it?
Advantages:
- dont bother about conversion, can play all.
- many others that are not apperent to me as of now .
The source code page - http://www.videolan.org/vlc/download-sources.html
I know this thread doesn't belong in this forum, will be tossed to the appropriate one at appropriate time by appropriate people & I welcome it.
i still prefer mVideoPlayer
yeah, advantage "dont bother about conversion" is kinds pontless - we already can play everything.
would be cool if we could watch divx-streams
Thank you all for answering, but if its on iPhone 4 why not on my SGS?

VLC uses software decoding/rendering to display movies. This sucks. Bad.
mVideoPlayer uses the on device codecs, which use the on device GPU to decode/render movies. This is way, way better.
So yeah, VLC can be ported, but I doubt anybody will put in the kind of insane work required when mVideoPlayer is available - with mVideoPlayer on an SGS being the best (by far) video solution for any mobile device available.
+1 for this

To be honest vlc suks big time even on windows. You can download many-many players that look better, work faster, have more options, play same amount of file types and do it faster.
Window media player classic is a good one. Search for CCCP on Google. I only use VLC for region locked DVDs.
VPlayer is good enough?
http://www.appbrain.com/app/vplayer-alpha/me.abitno.vplayer
(unless you actually want the orange cone etc.)
+1 for Media Player Classic
The best one i've come across so far.
Thread moved to Q&A.
You can go to the VLC forum and see that they are working on it.

mVideoPlayer does NOT play all formats, like .rm (Real Media Codec) which VLC does.

i was kind of joking there, but to me the truth is there is no real rom available that plays flash videos properly, because you need to overclock to very high frequencies and the phone playing flash is like a toaster and the battery drain is absurd.
skyfire may not be the perfect solution but it works really well it gets the job done

No...skyfire does not play most of the flash videos on 2.1 roms. If you want to check this on 2.1 rom go to skifire and use the desktop as user agent and go to miniclip.com. nothing will work. or go to youtube and search for a video that is not available in mobile version. ex: eminem and rihanna love the way you lie official video from.
so dont tell me that skyfire works perfectly

I've seen (If my memory serves me correctly) Flash running extremely well on the Droid (first gen) which has identical HW to Milestone so I think official Froyo will be pretty good in this regard.

OS X yeah, Mac's tend to bake while running Flash. But I think the latest "Square" beta adds HW acceleration to fix this.
My Galaxy S runs flash fine on a good ROM, and Nexus/Desire/Incredible/EVO/DesireZ/Desire HD & Droid2/DroidX all handle it fine.
