Can't play my recorded video on windows?!

Hey! Just transfered a video as I did record with my TD, but I can't play it on windows? It neither says how long the video is, or can see it..

You'll need to download divx codecs.
http://www.free-codecs.com/Codec_Pack_All_In_1_download.htm
For some reason windows media player can't recognize video taken from a PPC by default. It also can't play a DVD by default. They make you install all this extra crap before you can get to the meat & potatoes.

How shaggy! But thx though ! ^_^

Download
Should the codecs be downloaded to my laptop or the diamond, are the codecs for the diamond or laptop?

Codecs are for your PC/laptop. Just download, install, & open the files you want to play.

since I am no friend of codec-pacs... would you be so kind and let us know exactly which of them is used?

Diamond video

Hello everyone,
when i transfer videos that i've recorded from my diamond to my computer, there is no sound in the video, is it normal?
Thanks for your answers.

have you installed all codecs for your computer?
Like kazaa-codec pack?

Check in the camera settings if you have: Record with audio on or off.

@ riel
i haven't yet installed the kazaa codec pack, i've just tried to play the video from VLC and Windows media player.
@sergio pc
when i play the video on my Diamond its ok, there is sound. it's only when i play the video on my computer that there's no audio.

the video format is not compatible by default with desktop windows media player and hasnt been for years on HTC devices - a real pain. One of my early devices allowed me to choose to record in AVI which was great.
You can try selecting the capture format to H.263 because I think from memory it is more compatible but I think the quality is worse.
I did notice when nosing around in the registry of my Diamond that there was some refernce to AVI in the camera settings. I started a thread on it to see if we could get AVI enabled but no one seemed that bothered which I thought was strange.

Sorry forgot to say that they do play in Quick Time ok which is bl**dy frustrating as I hate Quick Time (and iTunes!!!)

forget that - I cant seem to get them to play in Quick Time anymore.
Try using http://www.mediaconverter.org/ or an offline tool like Xilisoft

you are off topic... you dont have any problem related with your Diamond but with your PC media player....
try to google first .... like "k-lite player"
Good luck and enjoy you Diamond !!!

Here's an article on how to use videos taken from your Diamond - both adding codecs on your PC and converting the media to an avi file (from PC or on your phone itself): http://www.fuzemobility.com/?p=981

thanks a lot guys, i've downloaded kazaa codec pack and it's working now

Thank you all it worked great with me too after downloading the K-Light.

can I ask you where you downloaded the kazaa codec from, as usually so many come up when you google it and most look dodgy, any help!

Good luck!

I got a feeling noone got it right; Its K-lite codec pack. It includes media player classic and works.

i had the same problem in a Mac.
Just changed the extension to 3gp and all is fine.

Watching Video from Device or Storage Card?

I've been trying to watch a .wmv video file on my TD2, but using WM Player its jerky.
I was wondering if it makes any difference if the file is on the actual device or a storage (SD) card from a performance point of view, i.e. does the phone read from its own memory quicker than the storage card?
Also, which is better out of TCPMP or Core Media Player?

Coreplayer

Can anyone answer my 1st question?

I have 8GB microSD card and when i am using it, it dosent make any difrence.
BUT! make sure you dont use all your memmory on the card, because the movies lags when you have full memmory.

Store All Your Video & Watch them from Storage Card !
It's makes "No" difference if the file is on the actual device or a storage (SD) card !! But, it will be better to convert the WMV to 3GPP format because WM Player have nothing special compare to other Multi-Media Player.
Also, it's real stupid that WMPlayer need to go to menu to stop the Video...
You just can't simply press the End Phone button to stop the Player or swift to other features... the Player is still running in the background!
Look Out for my thread regarding HTC ALBUM for Pocket PC Version 2.51 (Build 18676) in this forum under xda-developers > Topaz > Topaz general > Can Zoom-In & Zoom-Out while playing Video... Video Screen can rotate 360 degree. This Album_Multi-Media Player created by HTC for O2 xdaII Mini Pocket PC.

A clear, quality picture is required without any jerkiness, so I don't want to "downgrade" to 3GPP.
The .wmv file has a pretty high bitrate and if I reduce the size to 320x240 it plays fine without any jerkiness, but I'd like it to play the same at 640x480 !

i have the same problem too, it "lag" when i play video in full screen, can someone help? any idea how to fix this?
thanks

Have a look in this tread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=517550
It was easy to find...
Anyway, i convert all my video using the VideoEncoder i linked to in the other tread, and play them in the HTCAlbum player(The same player thats used for video you recorded yourself).
The result is almost perfect playback, so I'm very happy with it.

[Q] Audio and video are out of sync

I am using Zeus 6.11n. All videos are out of sync about 0.3-0.4 sec. Am I the only one with this problem and is there a fix?

out of sync when... watching at phone? transfer and watch at pc/laptop? uploaded and watch at youtube??
One thing I can tell you is, I don't know why but when I upload directly to youtube it say something like "sound could be out of sync" or something like that... so before I upload a video I use a video converter to make it avi or mpg or whatever [original video file is 3gp] and the upload it to youtube and is good to go

Every video I watch on my phone is out of sync. I watch it on my PC and it is fine. When I transfer it to my phone it goes out of sync. Even youtube videos are out of sync.

What video player are you using? Are you using a hard-decoder or soft-decoder?
I had the EXACT same problem when i was trying to watch a highly compressed mkv through moboplayer and mx video player.

I trie using MX Player, Mobo Player and even the stock LG Player, using HW decoding. I get the exact same result. I tried the same video on my Optimus ONE but there it works fine. I will try software decoding and edit this post.
EDIT: It is the same using software decoding.

Try to reflash your device and if it doesn't work download a fresh patch of the rom again and flash it............

Tried reflashing. Even tried flashing other rom. It seems to have fixed itself when i flashed cyanogenmod RC1. Every rom based on the stock one seems to have that problem.

Try moving them to the internal memory as sometimes sd cards do that (especially slow ones such as the one included with the phone) see what happens and report back. Try withthem on the sd of the other phone u have and see also. Last but not least try with lower res vids to see what happens. If all fail send it to lg and see what they reply.

I had similar problems before changed my sd card with class 10. Also dumped Mobo player and now use BS player. No problems now.

I have bad sync in every long videos recorded with my OB in any rom.
SD problem maybe?

bro if you mentioned the setting means it will be more help full

Handbrake.

Everything seems to play fine on my note, I use MX Player Pro and Dice Player.
DVD Catalyst 4 , has hundreds of profiles and converts dvd`s and video files and it is fast, as it has a feature that does 2 pass encoding in 1
It`s not free though, but it`s only $9.95

Mobo player plays everything also and is free.

It is full screen. You can view normal or zoomed. As its 16x10 screen you'll never get any true full screen.

It will always ask you to convert when you are using Kies mtp mode.
But you won't be able to copy mkv files.
If you are using usb storage mode you can copy mkv files but it won't ask you To automatically covert.
I tried MX player, vplayer, dice player.
For m2ts 1080p videos MX player can't play the videos well, for vplayer you need to configure it in order to play the test videos well, for dice player it is the only one that can play with default setting.
As for mkv, MP4, all players play them well.
