how to convert movies ?? - General Topics

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.....

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
qVGA, VGA and square screen support

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!

XDA video compression

Anyone know about a software that can compress video files so i can fit one movie in my SD card?
wma ? => Windows Media encoder
MP4 ? => any MP4 encoder
or this thread about Pocket Divx http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=15379
I've used many different methods, but now use pocketDivX Encoder - it's so simple, works with just about all my media, and it's very quick. And it's free:
http://divx.ppccool.com/
I tend to use video 12 = 192Kbps, audio 4 = 16bit stereo MP3 64Kbps, and this works out about 2.5K per second, so you can easily get a 2h movie on a 256MB card.
Then you can watch them on Beta-Player, which is the best PocketPC divX viewer around at the moment, also free:

[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

does any one know how i play video files on x7510,i tryed wmv and mp4 avi they dont work
play these files with coreplayer,nd if there is a sound lag u r observing,then goto coreplayer-preferences-advanced-down in the list there is an option for +/- av offset,set it to -600,also like done with advanced setting,once again goto preferances-video,try to change the video drivers from default ati imageon to other given such as raw frame buffer,gdi etc....enjoy
Use Xilisoft 3GP Video Converter (ver. 5.1.22.0305 or higher) and convert video with profile "BlackBerry MPEG-4 Video (*.mp4)" - set resolution to 320x240 or 352x264 (in "Profile Settings"). It may be appropriate and another converter with BlackBerry mp4 support and with resolution 320x240 or 352x264. This will give the best results for playback of video in standard Windows Media Player in HTC Advantage (I think it use hardware acceleration). Better than CorePlayer or TCPMP!!! Recommended for all! Complete synchronization of video and audio, smooth and excellent quality without lags.
were do i get corplayer or blackberry converter from
http://www.xilisoft.com/3gp-video-converter.html
For example, I was convert the "Matrix" advertising to format for the our WMP (BlackBery, 352x264, 1500 kbps, 24 fps). You can download and view:

(And remember, open only with WMP - in full screen)

Tips for MTS, TS, M2TS High Defination Video Format

More and more people have their own Camcorder to record their life, family parties and something important to them.
But there are some problems when you:
1. When you want to edit them in Windows Movie Maker or some other edit software
2. When you want to put them into your portable media players, such as iPod, iPhone, Zune, Creative Zen and so on
3. When you want to watch them on some HD video players, such as Xbox, PS3, Apple TV and so on.
4. When you want to share your videos with your friends on youtube, myspace and other online video website.
All the problems' reason is the video format, MTS.
The video format of your HD Camcorder is MTS, and it is not supported by almost any video editing software, PMP, HD video Player and youtube.
So you have to convert it to common video formats.
Tip 1: Some knowledge about MTS, M2TS, TS
MTS format is a high-definition MPEG, AVC, H.264 transport stream video file format which commonly used by HD camcorders such as Sony, Canon, Panasonic, JVC. etc.
.MTS files are used primarily with Sony hardware. Camcorders make use of MTS in the form of AVCHD, a format for recording and playback of high definition video.
M2TS is a Sony high definition video file type. M2TS files are raw AVCHD videos recorded using Sony's camcorders, such as the HDR-SR(xx)series models. Panasonic, Canon and other brands of AVCHD camcorders also record in M2TS format.
TS (Transport Stream) is a communications portocol for audio, video, and data. It is a type of digital continer format that encapsulates packetized elementary streams and other data.

Whats the best way to get movies I own onto the xoom?

Let me just say this so there's no offence taken here They are dvds I own. There was one way I found a while back using dvd shrink and handbrake but the sound was always too low almost un hear able.
I used Video Converter Factory Pro,
info on what it can do.
Video Converter Factory Pro is an all in one, fast, reliable and easy to use video converting software. It is capable of converting nearly all frequently used video/audio files.
The input video file supported by this video converter software include all frequently used video files, Flash video files, DVD(VOB) file, etc. And, it also can support outputting all frequently used video files and popular digital devices, including AVI, MP4, DAT, MPG, MPEG, H.264, NSV, VOB, MOV, FLV, MKV, TS/TP/TRP(AVHD H.264, VC-1, MPEG-2 HD), DV, WMV, ASF,3GP, 3G2, iPhone, iPod, iPad, Nokia, HTC, BlackBerry, Zune, Window Mobile device: Pocket PC, Dell Axim X51, HP iPaq hw6500 series, etc.
Besides the powerful converting function, the Video Converter Factory Pro also provides powerful video editing functions, including merge several video files into one, cut video section, crop video area and add special effects to videos. With these functions, users can make their videos more personality.
Check out DVD Catalyst 4 at http://tools4movies.com
Works great for DVDs and Blurays I've converted to watch on our Xooms. I just use the preset XOOM and XOOM HQXT settings. Movies look great on the XOOM's screen, and they are a pretty good size (anywhere from 1.5gig to 2.5gig depending on the movie and selected preset). Sound is great, volume is fine.
If I you want to use HDMI out, I suggest you read about the differences in the built in presets and try them to figure out which looks best.
Only issue, just like Handbrake, DVD Catalyst doesn't break or get around copy protection, so you need something like AnyDVD to work that.
+1 for DVDCatalyst
DVD Catalyst works perfectly but ever since I got Dice Player there is no need to convert anymore. Dice has always worked for all my files and it is working for me on the Team Eos Jellybean release as well.
DVD Catalyst is hands down the best software to use.
Try DVD43 And Handbrake together. Only works on a 32 bit operating system.
