free Avi to wmv converter - General Topics

does anyone know of an avi to wmv converter please let me know

There is this 'MediaCoder' that seems to be able to convert from and to a lot of things. You may try to convert it to something compatible and use the Microsoft Windows Media Encoder (free) to do it. Depending on your encoding, the M$ WMEncoder does most of the job.

does someone know the best settings to encode videos to play it on Touch?

240 X 320 maybe about 25fps
16bit colour is enough

PocketDivxEncoder will do.

Converting videos for use on my device

I've got a Universal but I figured I'd post it here as it isn't specific to that device.
I'd like to take some of my .avi's (DivX and XviD mainly) and change the resolution to 320x240 so the files aren't as large as they're currently at a higher resolution which is pretty much wasted on my device.
How should I go about doing this? I know nothing of video conversion. Also, can the device play DivX/XviD files? Does a WM5 codec exist?
Any info would be helpful, thanks.
for converter, try [email protected] http://www.erightsoft.com/SUPER.html
for player try TCPMP http://tcpmp.corecodec.org/about

[Q] Watching Videos?!

hi, anyone watch movies and that on thier phone? just wondering what the optimum video size would be to get a good picture and make it less flickery! and the best programs to use to convert the size of the movie?
Cheers
Hon
anyone?? surely someone must know??
Streaming or stored video files, basically you can use the same parameters and the same tools. I describe streaming only.
Use VLC to stream the video via Wifi or Edge to your phone.
An excellent client is Coreplayer (only 20 bucks)
On VLC set transcoding params like this:
video codec: mpeg4 (alternatively you could use h264)
video bitrate: 300-400kbs (wifi) ; 100-200kbs (edge)
resolution 320x240
audio codec: mp3
audio bitrate: 48-64kbs
container: ts (transport stream)
VLC can stream everything including live TV from TV/Sat cards and also from settop boxes.
If you wonna play files from memstick transcode your videos to files with the wifi parameters.
i used TCPMP with my vox oc'd to 252mhz
it can play most videos stored on my mSD (tv. eps and things of that sort) without having to convert
if i do need to convert, just make sure it's at 320x240
sorry i didnt specify, it is stored movies. cheers
A friend is considering this phone as an upgrade and I'm also interested in finding out about how good video playback on this phone works. Can you install freeware codec packs to support DivX, Xvid and all the other common formats on it like you can with the bigger PDA-style phones? Is its CPU speed enough for it to decode the videos without stutter? Is its built-in player good enough or would I need a third-party app?
I tried it. I think the optimum is Divx or Mpeg4, 320*240 and 512 kbit/s with 44 khz stereo audio. It can be played more than 100 % speed. (TCPMP benchmark).

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Depends. If you don't use H/264 / AVC, then, it'll work just great. With AVC, you'll need to stick to CorePlayer and not even then will you 100% frame rate with higher bit rates / resolutions.
I did a tutorial on this
search for "Video Recoding Tutorial - Video Settings" in this forum

how to convert movies ??

i am having problems with converting my file's with my DVD to PDA converter!!
once it's been done my window media player on my qtek9100 (mda vario/xda mini s) wont play the movie file???
does any one know the best format to convert to???
or know any settings the files should be in??
please help!!!!
the problem is media player only plays wmv and mpeg if i remember. most dvd rips are in avi format. if you still want to continue using wmp then you need the codecs
but, to make your life easier i would recommend that you use tcmp or coreplayer. it's an app that can play virtually all kinds of video files
Cheers!!!!!!!!!:
Give this a shot.... and yes, use CorePlayer.....
http://www.spbsoftwarehouse.com/products/mobiledvd/?en
Features:
Fastest possible conversion speed
Adjustable quality with real-time preview
No additional software needed on Pocket PC
DVD and video file sources
Conversion to both WMV and XVID formats
Possibility to convert entire movie or only some part
Dual core CPU support
Support for slow 200MHz Pocket PC devices

too bad you have to pay for that....
have you tried this
XVID4PSP but it also can:
import formats:
AVI DIVX ASF MPG MPE M2V MPEG VOB TS M2P D2V MOV QT 3GP HDMOV RM RAM RMVB RPX SMI SMIL MKV OGM WMV DVR-MS PMP FLV.
export formats:
PMP AVC, MP4 PSP AVC, MP4 PSP ASP, MP4 iPod, MP4 iPod 640, MP4 iPod Touch, MP4 iPhone, MP4 PS3, MP4 Xbox 360, MP4, AVI, AVI DV PAL, AVI DV NTSC, AVI Hardware, MPEG-2 PAL, MPEG-2 NTSC, MPEG2-TS, MPEG2-PS, FLV, MKV.
there are MANY MANY tweaks that can be done to help video play more smoothly. I use this to convert to .avi & wmv for my 8525 to play with tcmp.
also did I mention this is FREE....but donations are welcomed.
it also has output for:
Blackberry 8100, 8300, 8330
Toshiba G900
Sony Ericsson K610, K800
Motorola K1
Nokia 5700
I use the output option for "MP4 Blackberry 8830" which has the same screen res as mine...
also if you need DVD back-up software here is DVDFab HD Decrypter 4.1.2.0.
It allows you to only rip the main movie if so desired and dis-regard extra languages.
hhhhhhhhmmmmm...yeah........also FREEEEE.
I use DVD Decrypter and AutoGK to convert movies for playback with coreplayer....made a small tutorial HERE on doing it....the numbers I use are fine for 320x240 (QVGA) devices, probably best to double the filesizes and resolution for a 640x480 (VGA) device.
The movies are generally 2 pass XVid encoded with 128 VBR MP3 sound. Work fine on both software and hardware accelerated playback on the Hermes.
nice guide by the way....but since DVD decryptor is no longer supported it can not bypass the newer DVD encryption....so you'll constantly receive the error messages "Cylinder redundancy error"
Thats why you'll have to download and install the DVDfad HD decryptor from my post above which will bypass all dvd encryption on standard DVD's as well as HD and Blu-ray....to make a back-up of your legally bought DVD's of-course.
Also by default DVD Decryptor creates 1gb files when ripping the movie. You can go into , 'Tools', 'Settings' and on the ''IFO MODE" & "ISO MODE" tabs you will need to set "file Splitting" to "none". This way it creates a single 4gb+ .vob file which is the entire movie. Then import that into Xvid4PSP.
Xvid also allows you to import the multiple 1gb files and auto joins them to create 1 file just as in your guide also....
If original movie is larger that 4.74gb....Xvid4PSP also has "DVD shrink" incorporated into it which allows you to compress a movie to fit standard dvd.
hope this helps...
What is a typical size of a ripped movie with normal settings? I want to know what size memory card to get for this. cheers!

Converting video for Coreplayer

I did a search and couldn't find any good answers to this. What is a good program to convert video files to play on the coreplayer (v1.3)
I have the Divx converter, but the mobile option on it only goes up to 320x134 resolution
Also, what bitrate, fps, and video format is best to use with the coreplayer on the HTC Fuze?
Thanks in advance for any help
I use PocketDivXEncoder:

720p mkv on hd2 !

Hi !
Is there a player able to play mkv 720p files ? It doesn't matter if it drop down resolution to fix in the one of the monitor.
I have tried TMCP but it crash as I select the files, coreplayer instead said that it do not support ac3....I think that it would be nice to add ac3 support to core player..
Why go through all this trouble? Just reencode the movie or just get a normal DVD Rip. I don't think there is a player for WinMobile that can play 720p. It will look like crap anyway.
yea I knew that I could easily ttry with a standard format...but I think that the only problem with the core player is the ac3 audi..I think that it can manage the mkv video part...
I think the limitation is imposed by the OS, not the hardware. And I also think you won't find a 720p WinMobile video player. You're not the first one asking about this and surely you won't be the last one.
hd2 cant handle 720p video, I tried on an android build - vplayer alpha(something like that).
It was really laggy.
i don't get it why is anyone even thinking about this... as the native resolution of the HD2 is less than 720p.... it's like watching bluray discs on an hd ready tv set... u can do it... but you don't need it...
