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

OK, BUT, please don't express your opinion until you have tested this yourself and posted any problems with it! Let others decide???
Many thanks..
That's a great idea, Farsquidge!
I know this topic has been covered extensively (see here), but all applications which provide help to the user are welcome.
A freeware alternative is available, too, which you may be interested in (and requires a bit of tweaking for us tech-inclined): http://www.pocketdivxencoder.net/

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....

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 take it you use dvdfab? Are you willing to share the settings you use that are best for the diamond?
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!
Hey all, first post here. I have what should be a simple question but I can't find a clear answer. I'm going on a trip and want to watch a movie on the awesome Captivate screen but I'm unsure of where to find any. Does anyone know if there are online (legal) sources where I can purchase/rent & download a movie or TV show? Does Amazon movies work on the Captivate?
Thanks for the help in advance.

I've yet to run into a format our phones can't use (I hear there are SOME issues with 1080p mkv). As long as it's capable of supporting the license files if something is DRM locked, it should open in the video player.

And if the phone's default player can't play it, there's always RockPlayer and a few others available in the market that will do the job.
What is a good paid/free DVD Ripper that I can use?? I got one long time ago called 123CopyDVD but it seems like it doesnt work with new releases these days. I think I got it around 2005. Thanks for any recommendations.

Been a while since I ripped one. Last time I did I was still using DVDFab.

Thanks guys, I have tried handbrake before and it wouldnt do copyright protection. Alcohold 120% has copyright protection too. Thank you LoopDogg, both of those worked perectly. AnyDVD copied all the files perfectly. Just gotta see how to convert those .vob to my girls phone or whatever she wants them on. i am using the clonedvd as i type and it let me choose a format type which has samsung phone (any android) will report on that after it finishes. about 1hr left now.

Indeed. Excellent software. Does all kinds of stuff.
Question, when converting .vob to any other format, it loses quality right? I love AnyDVD, copy entire DVD by-passes protection and when I play it through my laptop to my TV, quality is perfect, well because it plays the .vob files. But after converting to divx, mpeg4, or one other format i cant remember, quality is lose even if screen size is set to bigger, or quality output is raised, it still loses quality. Just dont know what options to choose to keep a good quality image. Mostly gonna be used for my girls phone and laptop to TV. Thank you.
Also, Ive chosen Android or Samsung Android phones format and quality is lose. Quality lose is normal?? Ive never really ripped a DVD, the first program I got, 123copyDVD was stupid. never did its thing and couldnt pass copyright protection.. even after I bought it and all.
I believe only an MKV with AC3+ and DTS won't affect the audio... Streaming an .mkv can be a headache...
I still use DVD fab, and I use plex to stream them.

Quite easily. That is what scientists do all the time - "the collecting of information about a particular subject". If you don't know something then you research to try and learn more or find out what you don't know.
Must have done him good as the guy quoted above designed the Nazi's V2 rocket and the USA's Saturn V - the rocket that enabled men to travel to the moon.

MakeMKV is a good free one. I rip with it then convert using handbrake.
Just got my T mobile Note 4 loving it except that my Note 2 could play all of my video files. Were my Note 4 I get unsupported audio codec. File will play but no sound. Note 4 missing AC3 codec like Note 3. Will the fix for Note 3 work for the Note 4?
3rd party app like "mx player" plays files that the native video player can't.
Haven't tried the n3 fix.
Not any more. Look at recent reviews in play store on mx player. No AC3 codec anymore people are complaining about it. The Note 3 had the same problem and members of xda fixed the stock video player by adding a couple of lines to media_codecs.xml file located in /etc. Does anyone know if this is possible for Note 4?

BAD ASS NOTE 4[/QUOTE,
This is the code used for the Note 3.
<MediaCodec name="OMX.SEC.ac3.dec" type="audio/ac3" > <Quirk name="needs-flush-before-disable" /> <Quirk name="decoder-ignores-streamcorrupt-error" /> </MediaCodec>
AC3 is audio codec. Video plays fine just no sound. Get unsupported audio format.
This was the code they used for Note 3. On your note 4. The file is located in /etc the name of file is "media_codecs.xml" if you have es file open file as text you can read it or edit it. The code looks the same I'm not rooted yet or I would have already tried this save an original copy of file in a different directory then edit file with es. This way if it doesn't work you have you just copy original back into /etc. If you want to try let me know? I'll walk you through it it's really easy to edit the file.
