Hey everyone.
I have the Bell (Canadian) note 3 and I just tried the smooth motion video recording. Very neat, but the playback is very garbled and distorted. When I play it on my PC it's fine.. Could this be a flaw in the phone that could cause issues?
Anyone else have or hear about this?

I resolved it. Turns out another video playback app was set as default and it cannot handle the video. Only stock samsung app is able.
Works great now.
Video playback on android is where video playback on PC was a decade and change ago: A maze of incompatible codecs and video playback tools, and nowhere is there any decent explanation of how the whole mess is supposed to work together or why it sucks so much.
It was just as bad on PCs before. I remember having to have like half a dozen different video players, because each one could handle some - but not all - video formats. And you couldn't rely on file associations either (as is the case on android today), because all the video formats that we talk about are just "containers", which can contain video data encoded with any of a number of different codecs. So you can't say "Play the .mp4's with this player, the .wmv's with the other player" - but that's the level that file associations work on.
Suffice to say, my experience with making my existing video library play on android has been very frustrating, and there are still numerous videos that play fine on windows which I haven't been able to play on android. Naturally, just like on windows in the dark ages, none of the players provide useful feedback on what went wrong - a failure results in black screens, or no sound, or a force close, or occasionally a useless error. God forbid they say something like "the required codec ______ is not available", so I'd know what I needed to look for. Is there a reason for this? Who knows?!
It probably doesn't help that google has a financial interest in it being difficult to play video from sources other than their Google Play Movies store and Youtube.

I use vlc media player to playback recorded videos on my pc, and all the videos of my son have no sound. This happened on the kaizer too and it was due to a copyright issue w/ the codecs htc use.
Has anyone found a work around for this?
Anyone?
Googling on the web reveals nothing? Surely others must be annoyed by this too?
GSpot says Audio codec: 'samr: AMR Narrowband' - could not find anything suitable for PC though and just ran out of time...
This is truly terrible
Would you have a phone with photos that can only be viewed on that phone on and not shared?
Why would these idiots use codec that makes it impossible to share videos with sound with any PCs?
How incredibly stupid of HTC?
I think it's a licencing issue with VLC itself - it can't play the SAMR AMR audio codec. I discovered this accidentally after emailing a vid to the missus who discovered she couldn't play it on her Macbook (using VLC). One of the threads I read about it is here.
I use mediaplayer classic and the K-Lite codec pack from free-codecs.com on my (windows-based) laptop and have no issues at all.
so you must have some codec able to play this... have you tried opening Diamond-Vids with other applications like vlc or maybe a conversion tool (like if one would like to convert to an flv for upping to web).
Also in your K-Lite there is a GSpot could you check what it shows in 'Audio' (check screenie)
THX
ive been trying ot find a codec to get videos to work too.... well, video works but theres no sound on video files recorded with the diamond... ill give the klite pack a try i guess
if you manage to get sound - it would be great if you could check which codec is used ... thx!
same problem here
I have tried out every player under the sun (yes vlc too), updated several different codec packs, and still have the same problem.
I know that there is sound encoded in the files, because when I play them on the phone there is sound.
I have a friend with the same phone, and he also has the same problem.
I have recorded several lectures, and it would be fantastic is someone can find a fix for this.. my intention was never to watch the videos on the phone.. otherwise i'll just end up cross-eyed.
Any help much appreciated.

SOLUTION - GOM Media player
Plays them all fine
Good luck
http://media-convert.com/convert/index.php
go there and convert the file to a .mov or what ever format u want, and sound will work
YouTube works fine in Opera and the Streaming Manager app but in Coreplayer Mobile it just constantly brings up the loading symbol when selecting a video.
Anyone else have this or know a fix? I am on Jacks 1.3 Lite ROM with the YouTube registry fix installed.
That's strange. Youtube works for me in Coreplayer. I am also using Jack's Lite Rom 1.03. I did not try if it works in Opera though.
You got to activate networkaccess in corplayersettings for youtube

It is ticked already
I can't get Youtube to work in Streaming Media
Have you tried ticking flv box in the file extensions/
I got an email from CorePlayer makers saying there is a bug and they are fixing it in the next release
I have come across a problem with Coreplayer and its YouTube, so I have decided to use this thread instead of starting my own using the same title.
Coreplayer plays YouTube movies. No problem with that, even more it plays them in excelent quality (setting h264 medium quality, flv high bandwidth). But for some reason it cannot stop them. When the video is over the loading sign (rotating circle) appears and the screen freezes. After a couple of seconds I hear audio as if the video started to play all over again, but the screen is still frozen on that last frame. When I press any button the audio stops as well and that is that. There is no other solution than removing the battery, which annoys me greatly.
Does any of you have the same problem and have you been able to solve it? Coreplayer plays youtube with the highest quality by farand would really like to see it work properly.
Anybody else with this wierd Youtube problem?
Except that it freezes my phone like, every 5 minutes, it works fine i guess.
Too bad I have to reset my phone every time, because if i wouldnt had to, it would be a good piece of software.
Using Coreplayer 1.3 btw.
Well I am pretty disapointed as well. The video playback of original divx files is jerky and if I have to encode I might as well encode to a file media panel recognises. And now the youtube thing. There are still podcasts, I hope I will not come across a problem there.
huh?
i dont get it... my coreplayer plays youtube great, and divx great... i did have the youtube option dissapear mysteriously, but i re-enabled it in the network setting and its worked great ever since...
ive watched 2 movies in divx - one was a fast paced action movie and it played absolutely perfectly the whole time. maybe you need to have certain settings ticked, or maybe the fact that ive used the various tweaks in this forum to speed up my sd card, and to optimize my cache settings and such is helping...
more info may help resolve this...unfortunately i dont know much technical jargon.. i fiddle until things work.
I got my core working again with an update, but the standalone youtube player and panel is MUCH easier and better to use.
Hi, i work with an HTC Touch Pro 2 and on it with the newest CorePlayer. But i can not watch any Youtube Videos. I can search, and browse the different categories. But when i want to start a video the player gets back to the starting screen.
The "normal" video playback works fine.
Why? Anybody else with this problem?
PS: I have activated the network settings.
Youtube has made a change to how their protocol works. CoreCodec knows about the isue and they said they have alreay fixed it on an internal build. Sadly we will probably have to wait a very long time for the fix to be released.
here, some videos work, some others not, like the 70% of them, just try to open but stop downloading without image
Anybody else getting this problem again?Youtube videos stopped playing for me since tuesday,i'm running coreplayer 1.3.6 windows mobile.
Yes same her, my CorePlayer 1.3.6 stopped playing Youtube end of July.
Is there any update out there?
Yep, doesn't work...lame
looked around and didnt see a post here in the g1 forum but it is possible to stream movies from your computer to your G1. just go to www.orb.com and your set. best of all its FREE!
can you be a little be more specific, it will be helpfull if you explein a little a couple of steps for this and how can you watch it on the g1.
note: I'm not trying to be ungreatfull
I just try it and is GOOD (running it, on my wifi) a little slow when watching a video but defenitly watchable, I think if they develope a software for the android like the one for Iphone this will be a killer application.
In order to use it you just have to download the software from the site and create an account, share your media files videos, mp3s, pics, documents and even your computer webcam. allow it in your firewall. Then just log in from your g1 browser, and you are good to go and enjoying all your files in your g1.
I used to use this all the time with my Wing and Tilt. Unfortunately, the video has issues. It doesn't work on the G1 through 3G as of yet. Rumors have it that Orb is in the process of developing an app... but that was spread around back in November. Who knows what happened with it since.
Be also interesting to see devices as PMP's with video out capabilities... something like vPOD's
I am able to get the video started over 3G but the video player keeps telling me "Sorry this video can not be played". I still hear the audio but the video always freezes on the first frame. Has anyone else tried this and got it to work?

Same problem I've had. I have been able to get a couple videos to play correctly, but I have not been able to figure out why they played and nothing else would. Oddly enough, even the ones that would play once would not play a second time.
you can do this with "gmote" also it much easyer
Androrb was just released. Check it out.
Has anyone been able to stream to the G1 using VLC?
I have tried using the same settings as the ones from the G1 video encoding thread (and lower), but it just won't play.
(I know the OP posted about Orb, but with such a generic thread title, this shouldn't count as off topic or thread stealing...)
I do want a DLNA / UPnP app for Android. I can get Tveristy working for streaming music, but it won't stream & transcode video.

I've gotten this to work in VLC in my LAN but not from outside yet. It took me forever to get this far, and I kinda just chalked it up as progress, and haven't done much with it since. Use the rtsp address in NSW or Meridian or whatever on your phone.
need to set h264 to 1,2 baseline and audio to aac in advanced settings first
Code:
:sout=#transcode{soverlay,ab=42,samplerate=44100,channels=1,acodec=mp4a,vcodec=h264,width=320,height=180,vfilter="canvas{width=320,height=180,aspect=16:9}",fps=25,vb=200,venc=x264{vbv-bufsize=500,partitions=all,level=12,no-cabac,subme=7,threads=4,ref=2,mixed-refs=1,bframes=0,min-keyint=1,keyint=50,trellis=2,direct=auto,qcomp=0.0,qpmax=51}}:gather:rtp{mp4a-latm,sdp=rtsp://0.0.0.0:5554/stream.sdp}
In your Android video player:
Code:
rtsp://local.server.address:5554/stream.sdp
Is T-Mobile blocking ports? I just tried that method in VLC and it works great with WiFi on, but with 3G I can't get anything.
So yesterday I was playing around and tried to get some porn clips to play on the phone. I downloaded a video (using a greasemonkey script) and then I transfer the .flv to one of the cards.
It says something like: "filetype not admited" ("tipo de archivo no admitido")
Does it have to do with the flash version? I have stock jf3 root and lagfix app.
Youtube is ok, spankwire or xvideos, are not. You can see it's a REALLY SERIOUS problem
However, sgs media player is supposed to get along with .flv right?
Is there a way for this videos (or others .flv) to play on the phone apart from converting?
i had something similar happen to me
but of course mine was an almost 4GB file with surround sound all channels and HD but it was on 720 mkv, but it gave me the same message
now i loaded another similar mkv file but it was only stereo and that worked fine
seems like the phone can't support HD audio
I see. So it probably has to do with the audio then.
I can resemble this situation
Like all original, un-modded Droid owners, I was looking forward to Froyo and Flash player 10.1. Well, it finally got here. Sites now work, (e.g. Kongregate) and others. Works with Youtube and such. Does not work with .flv files, haven't tried .swf files yet, nothing seems to play from the device, AFAIK.
I would speculate that what we see when things do "play" on the device is the streaming variety of the media.

One of these days I will get around to rooting my Droid and my Eris. Someday....
I have similar problem. I´ve downloaded Megavideo application and when I try to play the video from app with stock player (and I beleived that Galaxy S stock player must handle .flv without problems) so it starts to play, but only with black screen and no sound. In Rockplayer or others it works just fine. Any suggestions how to help it? Thanks a lot
I think the best option is to just use RockPlayer for this.
I've tried using video converters but it's not worth it because audio/video quality can suffer or even get messed up badly. RockPlayer is just more convenient and simple.
Hey all,
I am using a Droid Turbo XT1254 Android 5.1 with kernel 3.10.40;
I recorded an HD(720p) video of a buddies proposal and I would like to edit it for him as it looks really great!
The problem is when I export the video out and plug it into video editing software on my computer, the audio loses sync with the video and is near impossible to fix. Has anyone else had this issue and is there any known work around?
I'm very worried that this video was all for not.
Thank you!

Does the audio become more increasingly out of sync (2 seconds, 3 seconds, 4 seconds) or is it consistently a set amount (like 1 second) the entire clip?
Have you only tried to play it on one piece of software? Drag the video to your desktop, click on it and play it with WMP, VLC, Media Player Classic, etc. When you play it normally in Windows Media Player, VLC or any of the other free dozens of media players, does it play OK? If so, then your video editing software is to blame. It's not a "phone" issue, it's your video editing software.
If it's out of sync even when playing it with a computer program video player -- not your video editing software but WMP, VLC, Media Player Classic, etc -- there's still ways to fix it.
1) If it's any good, your video editing software will have audio sync options. That's a standard task in editing video, to fix audio lag called "lip sync" issue.
2) you can always re-edit the audio -- just like you would with a piece of music you might want to start at a certain point. (if it's consistent in the amount it's out of sync). You would just edit the audio track to be offset by the amount of time you wish.
3) try another video editing software.

Thanks for your response!
The audio becomes increasingly out of sync as the video goes on. I was using adobe premiere pro as well, I did try to re-edit the audio back in to sync up with the video, however because the rate of change is increasing throughout the video, it is near impossible to line things up correctly.
I will try another video editing software tonight, do you have any suggestions? I just need to have the video playing with a smaller video playing(Picture in picture style).
Is this a known problem or have you never experienced this?
Thanks!
I was hoping it was a simple, constant value for the delay.
I was also hoping it could be repeated using any video player ( which would mean the problem was actually with the file, not the editing software). In which case I was going to suggest something like this:
http://www.hecticgeek.com/2013/02/fix-audio-video-sync-save-permanently-avidemux/
You still haven't said whether it plays fine in other video players (not editing software, just players).
But the increasing variability of the time worries me.
To give you an analogy, when I add subtitles file to a TV show or movie, if one is PAL (25 frames per second) and the other is NTSC (29.97 frames per second), then the subtitles will be increasingly out of sync the further into the file as it plays.
I have software that will let me do a "visual sync", but that doesn't work if the rates are not the same.
That's just an analogy, because your audio/video shouldn't be on two different standards like that.
So, I'm curious, when you play it with VLC (free) or Classic Video Player (part of the K-LITE Mega Codec Package (free), is the video/audio out of sync?
If it plays fine in another video player, then there's just some messed up setting in your Adobe editor.
