I tried some sites and discovered wp7 video player can play mp4 and 3gp vids but not avi ones.
I wanted to try write an app for homebrew to collect online movies such as http://www.mp4mobilemovies.net/.
Does anybody know other sources which might include some series too?
check out icefilms ... they apparently have an API of some sort since XBMC plugins are written and some android apps also tie into it .
edit:
i completely missed the point on that one haha
im pretty sure icefilms uses avi . my bad

Can the camcorder on the Dream record in mpeg4 or wma format?
If not, then is there a way to convert the native video using the phone, so I can then email the converted video immediately afterwards?
I very much doubt WMA will ever be able to record, Maybe a third party app can do mpeg4, As far as converting, best off taking it off sd card to a pc. I wonder if ffmpeg could run on android. but i would be afraid, and it would take 4 months to convert the video
I believe the camera records in .3gp
If you are on a hero build you have the option of mpeg4 or 3gp. If you are on cupcake it is just 3gp.
Thanks for your replies. Im on cupcake so just 3gp it looks like :-(
I wanted to make a short video and share it immediately via email to work colleagues (who dont have the luxury of a media player that can play 3gp, and work computers block all streaming video from the net, so uploading it somewhere is a non-starter).
I'm a novice but have flashed a few different roms onto my G1 - can anyone suggest a stable Hero build that's not too laggy and awful (as I gather most of them are)?

JACHero and TouchFlow 3D are the ones to go to. If the co workers are able to download anything just tell them to download vlc player it has all codecs built in.

I'll look into these roms, thanks.
Unfortunately my colleagues can't install anything on the work computers, so VLC player is out of the question.
Sorry, just noticed you said that Youtube wouldn't be an option. You could still try Qik - perhaps it's not blocked. I'll leave my post as is...
Another option would be to use the YouTube upload option and then just send them the Youtube link to the video.
Or, if you'd rather keep the file from public viewing, you can use the "Qik" app and upload it to a private Qik file and provide them with the password.
You wouldn't have to worry about converting the video at all that way and everyone could play it.
Depending on the length of the video you might be able to send it to them as an MMS.. I'm pretty sure .3gp is a standard format.
Another thing to consider, if they have quicktime installed on their computers it *might* be able to play the .3gp... well, let me rephrase that, it should play it, but might not have the proper codec for the video so it may come through as audio only, but it's worth trying anyway

PortableVLC ftw
I'm trying to learn how to take hi -def movies in various video formats and convert them to a bluray format so I can burn it to a bluray disc to play on my PS3 and stand alone bluray player. So far I've tried to use avs video converter, avchdcoder, and multiavchd. It's definetly challenging to learn how to create cool looking menus, get the audio to be in sync, and not get any errors. Does anyone have a favorite software they use and any tips? Its frusturating to wait 3-5 hours to convert a movie just to find out there are errors lol. Dvds are easy to create ....it's the blurays that are challenging. I would love to hear some feedback.
Use THIS site as they helped me figure video editing out. But let me warn you about PS3 3.56 Firmware update - Sony has just made it so that it will detect a signature in pirated video; the PS3 will only play homevideos now (unless you know how to decode video ;} )

Yeah that's a good idea. A lot of the movies come with samples. See....I'm learning.
Edit : videohelp is a really good forum....I've been using it.
Ok so I transcoded a 8gb mkv to a bluray ISO....took 7 hours. Went to burn it using imgburn and got a error part way through. Guess I need to stop using cheap discs.

Stop right there. Both your PS3 and Bluray player can play x264 (and all profilesm too, I believe), PS3 also plays xvid/divx/h263, you BD player might too.
Most HD movies that are shared used the x264 codec for video and AC3 or DTS for audio, and in a Matroska (MKV) container.
They will not play on a PS3 (and most likely BD player) due to a lack of support for mkv. You'll need to remux the file in to an MPEG Transport Stream (.ts), after you do this they should be fine on both. I'm not entirely sure if DTS can be muxed in to ts, you might need to convert it to AC3 first, no biggie.
Well I took a shared movie and converted it to avchd using avchdcoder ....the conversion went fine and took a total of 7 hours....burned it to a blank bluray and didn't work in the ps3. The custom menu I created works fine but when the movie started is wouldn't play right. Have no idea why. When I get home ill have to take a closer look. Frusturating for sure. I can use avs video converter which is easy to use and works well but it down converts 6ch audio to 2ch.
Why are you spending hours encoding video and degrading the image quality when you don't have to? *Just* for custom menus?
Yeah pretty much. Just certain movies though. Most movies I just keep on a nas drive and watch them through my laptop which is hooked up to my home theater via wireless HDMI. It's a pretty cool setup actually.
Anyone know of a good app for Honeycomb that will play various video file types including .mkv? I have tried QQplayer and Vplayer but the its real buggy on the xoom. Thoughts?

There are threads all over the general section on this issue. No application will play a high profile MKV on the Xoom. The native video player can play MKV files but it has to be baseline encoded. You will need to use an application like Handbrake to convert the HD video using the universal preset available on the application.

I haven't used it yet for Mkv but rockplayer is a great app I use to play avi files.
I've been using the full version of xvid4psp to recode x264 mkvs. Technically you can just copy the video and convert the audio to aac and push into a mp4 container, but my Xoom wasn't able to handle 1280x538 or whatever a 2.4AR movie is. I converted it to 1024x430 and was still laggy when playing with Act 1. It only takes my notebook about 2.5 hours to re-encode a movie that way so I'll probably stick with 848x352 or 848x480. Though I fear that might make it lag at full 16:9 480p so I might have to look at different profiles to make it less complex of an encode.
I've been looking around for the last few days for an Android app for converting YouTube music into mp3s I was just wondering if anybody knew of such app??

Youtube mp3 converter
Have you tried tubemate?
You will need to go to the Amazon app store or directly to the developer website since Google pulled it from the market...
Here is the dev website: http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=...VpYzL8cxlLcGtqrSw&sig2=7D9i_d5wgvCBt-8-B59cEg
+1 for tubemate :-D
Thanks, that's exactly what I've been looking for.

You can easily convert any YouTube Video to YouTube to mp3 format with the help of online converters. But, how to do it without any third-party software?

They don’t want you to easily convert your YouTube Video to mp3 format. So, to save your time and money here is a trick that will help you convert any YouTube Video to mp3 format without installing any third-party software. There are several websites that help you to convert YouTube videos to mp3 format without any third-party software. All you have to do is follow some easy steps.
I would suggest By Click Downloader - it's one of the best converters, in my opinion. Also, I recommend checking this article about the best youtube to mp3 converters for additional options to compare.

Which file formats are supported by Sony Movies? It can not play popular movie file formats, it seems.
Any recommendations for a better alternative? I am not looking for one which has the most features or the fanciest, but easy of use, low resources usage, and popular file formats support.
All right, I found this somewhere: MP4/H.263/H.264/WMV player.
It does not play my *.wmv. My version is 5.0.A.08. I'll try another one.
I find movies plays all my files, however, you can try
MXPlayer
or
VLC player
I settled for the VLC player. Thanks! After I installed it, it recognized and played my video files instantly and before even rebooting,
VLC
So I found that VLC is called a beta but it works actually reliable. It plays not only videos but also music. It has a real interface which is similar to many other newer Android apps, and it has real settings, such as to define the media directories. I hope the release edition will not go the way of a heavy pig, as some other Android apps did.
Deleted Movies and Walkman from my phone.
Thanks again for the advice, Greg. Getting more familiar with things.
