So I've added the slow mo button for a longer clip and it plays fine on the phone but when I copy it to Windows laptop it just plays like normal video but with no sound. How do I save/transfer it with slomo please?

i believe the video is just recorded with a higher framerate and then the player adds a filter to slow it down. that's why you can acctualy play(modify) with the sequence after its been recorded. because its not acctualy recorded with the effect.

I noticed it too. When you record the slow mo video, it will show as a slow mo using the video player from Samsung... If I use another player like VLC or even Windows, it won't show it. I then realized, you need to edit and save it as a separate file to keep the slow mo changes using other players. Once I saved it, it created a new MP4 file... Now I'll have 2. The original and the edited one that will play in slow mo in all players like VLC. Hope it works for you.
Edit: You don't have to edit it. You can just save it as a separate file. I just edit it first cuz I want to change where the slow mo starts and finishes.
Sorted thanks for the info.

I think most of the active members are aware of the video difficulties SO please (please, please) turn your rants off for this thread. What I am trying to find is a combination of settings that DO work.
My preferred codec is MP4.
From some suggestions in other threads, I have tried these encoding settings.
Screen resolution: 320x240
Frames Per Second: 30
Kbps: 300
Audio codec: [email protected]
...and I am playing back on TCPMP 0.72RC1 using these settings
Options/Video: Raw FrameBuffer
Options/Video/Dither: Off
Options/Video/Pixel Aspect Ratio: Auto
Options/Settings/Advanced/Slow Video Memory: On
Options/Settings/Buffering/Preload at Underrun: 85%
Using this, all I get for video is about 1 frame every 3 seconds. Audio is fine.
So can anyone add this this for getting MP4 to work?
Do I need to use a different codec? If so, I would prefer something other then AVI, since I have a mixed environment. Does anyone have suggestions on the best cross platform Codec, that has work well on the Kaiser?
I'd be interested in this too. I can play back videos taken from the video camera flawlessly but when trying to encode them to the same MP4 codec they can get choppy. Not sure what gives :0
Using WMV here
I couldn't get the mp4 output from my ATI Multimedia Centre software to work at all on my TyTN II so I've settled on WMV 9 at 352 x 288 resolution and 372 kbps (thats at 15 fps). Anything with higher bit rate than that seems to cause problems with to much screen tearing during fast movement scenes.
You might want to follow this thread... seams that the Core Player is attacking this known problem for the Tilt. I'm by no means an expert on this, but seems like the Qualcomm QTV technology for the video has some issues:
http://www.corecodec.com/forums/index.php?topic=596.0
I use PDXE, Lathe, and a few others to encode Divx videos at 320x240 video quality at "28" audio in stereo at 96 or 128k MP3 with a total bitrate under 500k (usually shoot for 475kbps). If the encoder allows it, for portable video I bump the audio volume by 15% and I increase brightness as well. To me most movies look darker on the small screen. If cropping is allowed I crop widescreen content, cutting off some of the sides of the picture to get closer to the 3:4 ratio of PDA screen. I also like to turn the brightness down as much as possible to increase battery life so the bump in brightness helps there as well. An average movie 1:50 length is about 480MB
I've used Core and TCPMP (currently using TCPMP for the youtube capability) and use Rawframe buffer as well. I'm sure that Core 1.2 will make things even better.
I get 30FPS and normal fluid video, looks like my other 8525, hx4700, and Archos 320 and 400 units with crisp clear video, no complaints.
This MP4 doesnt play on my pc only the phone???

There's lots avout video formats in the wiki here:
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=The H.264 (a.k.a. MPEG-4 Part 10 and AVC) Bible
FWIW my mp4s recorded on my TyTN II wont playback on my PC either, it's simply a case of finding a suitable codec.
recorded videos on Tilt not playing on vista with sound!! I GOT IT FIXXX

Hey thanx for the reply but VLC is what i got installed and doesnt work, thought someone else had the same issue like mine. The .MP4 files that the TiLT records doesnt playback properly. PROBLEM is : I get the video portion just fine, but no sound. I have the. I tried in Media Player, VLC, QuickTime, RealPlayer, etc.... All the same... video plays but no sound.
I googled the issue and found out some other HTC phone users got it too and a couple solutions i found are.
1. In QuickTime it says: "Error 2041 - Invalid sample description in movie"
Solution: Checked the Apple.com or quicktime forums, if you use quicktime, change the file name from .MP4 to .3GP and it will work, it will not work otherwise. (if you dont know how to rename the files or dont see extension, Windows vista or XP go to tools>folder options>view>uncheck hide file extensions for known file types and voila)
2. Since I did so much reading on this, I got a new player (KMPlayer) that beats vlc in my books it plays the files recorded from the tilt just fine unlike VLC latest build, its fast and does all vlc does but it has a better GUI and plays anything you throw at it. you can get kmplayer here
Conclusion: The TiLt is fine, just that I couldnt get the right player to run the video files it records. apparently there is some issue with the qualcomm processor and the video output files of .MP4, some others have reported issues with any .MP4 files and had to do the same listed above.
Hope this helps someone here...
if you want an mp4 player on your pc for free, go to nokia.com

MANY THANKS! zulualpha7,
I have had the error 2041 problem for a long time and have never been able to play vids recorded on my TyTn II on my PC.
I almost installed various codec packs as other forum members have done but after reading about potential problems of having multiple codecs for same file type and upsetting the system I decided not to do this.
I have some really important 'once in a lifetime' family moments like my friend's son catching his first fish etc... I though they were all lost for ever.
I just downloaded latest Quicktime and renamed file extensions to ".3gp" like you said and now I can watch everything!!!!
Thank you so much this really has been a big improvement for me.
ONCE AGAIN THIS FORUM ROCKS! Thanks to everyone for so much fantastic helpful info.
Ok I recorded a video on my TILT that I want to post on Youtube. I transferred the Video from my TILT to my PC and when I play it, it opens in VLC. I see the video but get no Sound.
When I play video on my kaiser I could hear sound and everything. What am I doing wrong?
The file is mp4 so it should open in VLC. I forgot how to get into the associations part on VLC I went through like everything option. I don't think that'll fix the prob because I could still see the video just can't hear the sound. Any ideas.
The video was 22 minutes long. If that helps. Taken in 2x zoom.
If I open anything else on my PC on VLC I have no problems with the files. I could see and hear.

make sure you have the correct codecs installed.. you can try downloading the klite codec pack or the ace mega codec pack and that might solve your problem.. you should be able to google both of them and find download links (they're both freeware)
i havent tried that player but i do have the mega pack and that didnt help with me playing it with windows media player. i would get the same thing, video but no sound. i converted the file to something else like .avi, .mpge, etc. and now it works fine.
So basically just convert the file.
never could get sound on mp4 files unless i used quicktime
Funny thing is that I used quicktime and it didnt even play sound either. I'm going to convert it when I get home. It's a funny vid of me and my boys having a funny conversation. You'd get a kick out of it.
I have tried transfering a few .avi files over to the tilt and when i try to play them back through TCPMP, the sound works fine, but the video only works for maybe 5-10 seconds, then it freezes on one frame for the rest of the time...WTF!! is the Tilt not capable of playing .avi videos??? does this have to do with the video driver issue?? if anyone knows how i could play avi files on the tilt, please let me know thanks

I have plenty of videos that play just fine. Make sure you encode them in proper screen size. I have all my videos encoded in 320x240.
how big are the files? i tried to copy huge .avi, mpeg, etc. file in around 500mb range and same thing would happen. If i compress the files it would play especially in another format. usually converting to windows media player works fine. i normally convert mines to .3gp. takes up way less space and looks fine on the cell phone.
See here for lots of info on getting your videos playing perfectly.
use super c,make sure you got the right resolution,format,codec,bitrate and use tcpmp or coreplayer instead of wmp
I just installed CorePlayer and when I play video (WMV) It's extremely choppy. I also tried it on WMP and its also very choppy. Any suggestions on how to remedy this? TIA
check your specs on the video,codec,bitrate, etc
Check out Coreplayer, it really improved the view and choppiness on my movies.

LOL, he already said he tried coreplayer
set the video settings to raw frame buffer and see if it helps
Call HTC and ask them to send you the video drivers for your phone.
Are there any specific or recommended settings for converting to AVI of WMV? Divx or Xvid? What setting for those of you that have gotten video to play what settings do you use? I'm using TMPGEnc to process the video.
The phone is not even 3 months old. Doesn't it come with the latest HTC drivers? Can I download them?

The "drivers" is a joke. They Kaiser is missing the Hardware Graphics acceleration drivers. Check out http://htcclassaction.org.

My problem is that video playback seems random.
I've converted some video clips I've downloaded from the internet, using PocketDivXEncoder, and am using CorePlayer for playback.
The first time I view, the quality is great - but subsequently they are choppy to the point where they are unwatchable.
I can't understand why this should happen.
I've played around with a few things - I thought I'd got it sussed when I moved the clips to the DCIM folder, but again it only worked the first time.
Weird...
As a side issue, for future reference, what are the recommended settings for quality/size/bitrate etc. when trying to load video onto my TyTN II?

It seems to me that you have some program running that sometimes uses a lot of CPU resources and prevents the video player from using them.
As for encoding, I'm usually using ~350kbps divx video/128kbps mp3 audio in 320x240 frame size.
I thought that...
Closed all apps, even did a soft reset...
(Thanks for the numbers by the way)
Ok. I recorded some video on my AT&T Tilt with a memory card. It plays fine on my phone. Well I want to get it on my computer. When I tried to, it was in the MP4 format. So I opened it with Quicktime and iTunes and it wouldn't play. It said there was an error. So I was gonna convert it. I tried to, but it gave me a warning saying that it would have no sound, so I didn't do that. Then I downloaded VLC Player and when I played the videos, they didn't have sound. I tried putting them in Windows Media Center, didn't work. I tried ActiveSync. Didn't work. There has to be some possible way to do this. PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!!!
Same thing happens to me. Now I just record in the other format, QIF I believe. And that works fine.
THANKYOU!!!!!!!!!!
how did you even get "good" video playback?
how did you even get "good" video on the TILT? is it the change in file type that makes the video better in itself? where do you change it?
You can change to CIF by selecting it from the Capture Settings menu (hit menu when the camera is running) under Resolution. The capture format can be changed from MPEG-4 to H.263 if you go to Advanced > Capture Format.
Recording in a well-lit environment helps. I'm not usually affected by placebo, but I and a few other users have reported increased camera performance after installing the latest test drivers for the Kaiser from htcclassaction.org. It DID seem that the framerate was higher. I can't rule out the possibility that updating to windows mobile 6.1 may have made a difference, but I know I don't keep apps running in the background and the comparison whilst not scientific would be pretty fair.
What can be used to view H.263 on the home pc? Will media player play it? And is there a good reason why it just doesn't record to .wmv or regular old mpeg? As you can tell I am a moron when it comes to video.
VLC will read it

QuickTime will play H.263 encoded files.
The Tilt does not use WMV or MPEG because they do not have formats optimized for mobile devices, so the files end up being huge.
Thanks, that makes sense!
my mp4 videos run fine on wm player! try downloading the vista or xp codec pack which is available on most torrent sites
I know its old but anyway...I record video w/ my kaiser, bluetooth the video over to my laptop, convert with WM convert, open w/ movie maker, edit then post. Sooooooooo easy and no cables required!
You're all going through waaaay to much by using converters & what not. When recording in mpeg4 format just rename the files to ".3gp" after you transfer them to your computer and they will play regularly through quicktime with sound & everything intact.
download K lite codec pack: http://www.free-codecs.com/download/K_lite_codec_pack.htm
it will allow windows media player to play ANYTHING, throw and file at it and it will play
VLC Works for me
VLC works for me, try it

Use a converter to be able to edit the video in windows movie maker, it takes like 10 seconds to convert a MPEG4 to WMV. (i've got the codec pack but in order to edit the video you need to convert it.)
