Hi,
I was wondering if anyone here has experience with video playback on the HTC Tornado? Does video play smooth? can you play divx? wm9?
Is it a practical device for watching a movie while on a long flight for example?
Do you think that this device has any real features which set it apart from other modern high end telephones like for example the Samsung D600? The D600 has bluetooth, music playback, contacts and appointments syncronization, video playback etc... so apart from the fact that the Tornado is running windows OS - what does this actually offer you as the user?
Would you say that the Tornado is the best smartphone on the market?
Thanks for your help!

I would say yes, but since A2DT stereo bluetooth profiles are not currently working, I am witholding my vote for AKU 2.0 or AKU 2.2.
Many native 320x240 videos do not play smoothly on my device. I suspect that you need to re-encode these videos to 320x240x15fps, ideally from 640x480x30fps or higher source.
I have no idea about the best kbs settings or encoding format for smartphone playback. I have been meaning to test this.
Do you use Windows Media Player, TCMPM or something else?
i use TCPMP for audio and video all the time on my tornado. the built in wmp10 isnt as good as i hoped it would be.
anyway, i reencode my videos to 320x240 23.976fps, 44khz 16bits stereo (128kbps). these play smoothly on my tornado without problems. better yet, get pocketdivx encoder (its freeware ^_^) and let it do the job for you ^_^
I've written a guide on how to (re)encode movies for the Tornado with Nero Recode 2 and watch them with TCPMP.

Hello guys!
I've purchased recently a brand new x7510, mainly for navigation (love the display) and mobile office. I've installed the latest coreplayer 1.2.5 and loaded some vids that I used to show on my old good iPAQ 4700.
And.. surprise
the screen is green and there is no sound. I've played with the settings (changed video output from ati imageon to gdi) and now videos are running but way too slow. The builtin benchamark of coreplayer gives me different scores from 50 to 70%
What's wrong?
What settings are you using? Or maybe there's a better player around?

How about uploading one of the shorter videos for the rest to test and see who can play it most smoothly?

I am using DirectDraw. It works well. No problems here.

Here's an example:
(new 007 trailer)

I also have many 700 mbs DVD rips which are way too slow on the x7510. It seems to me that we have a great piece of hardware, but we don't have the appropriate software
Tadeusz, what kind of video are you playing (resolution, codec, etc)?

I have some flv files downloaded from youtube, but mainly videos of concerts recorded on my home computer from sat tv in wmv
One of those is about 30 minutes of Jewel concert:
Audio codec DMO WMA 44100hz 2 chanels/96kbit/s
Video codec DMO WMV (WMV9) 384 x 288, 1,15 Mb/s.
I think I've rocoded it for my mobile, but do not remember.
I just converted Superman Returns using Pocket DVD at the following settings:
IMAGE
Width: 464 pixels
Height: 288 pixels
AUDIO
Duration: 2:34:05
Bit Rate: 40 kbps
Audio Format: MPEG Layer-3
VIDEO
Frame Rate: 24 frames/second
Data Rate: 605 kbps
Video Sample Size: 24 bit
Video Compression: XVID
The only settings I changed from Core Player are:
1. Menu>Tools>Preferences>Video>Video Output>Direct Draw
2. Menu>Tools>Preferences>ATI IMAGEON>check Keep ATI Driver Active
3. Menu>Tools>Preferences>Buffering>Normal Buffer Size 700000
I also tried watching some You Tube Videos, randomly. No problems at all, except some anime looked crappy probably because they were not meant to be seen at such a big screen compared to other PPC.
I don't have any problems playing my converted DVDs. NO SKIPS, NO LAGS, NO DELAYED VOICE OR SOUND which I often see others complaining about. From my point of view, it is a matter of what converter and settings you used and what settings you have Core Player on.
So am I happy? HELL YEAH!!!!! It's better than watching using my Universal.
I don't know about the missing drivers that I often read others are asking. If Core Player can play my converted DVDs as good as my Universal, I don't see any problem with that. As I said, check your settings.
Nope still lags audio lag for me tried your settings...What version of coreplayer are you using? Did you use headphones when you played the video?

I just tried that video, when using core player 1.2.5 it almost runs fine, just that I don't have the ac3 audio codec. I also noticed a little tearing during scene change (fullscreen only).
My core player settings are:
Video output: DirectDraw
Video quality:High
Smooth Zoom: on
Dither: selected
Acceleration:not selected
DirectDraw settings:
overlay with colorkey:unselected
use blitting instead of overlay:selected
use device stretching for blitting: unselected (however I find that when I select this option with the one above I notice the tearing seems to go away but the video quality seems to go down a little)
I also increased buffersize:
normal buffer size:3392
preload at:70%
preload audio:64
Microdrive mode: selected
microdrive buffer size:56000
microdrive starts:1472
and thats what I have for coreplayer. Hopes this helps.
I'm going to try this vid in TCPMP and see how it handles it (I tend to get better video performance with TCPMP)
Another note, I have a x7501, however they're basically the same hardware.
I am using 1.2.5 version of Core Player.
I'm also using Coreplayer 1.25. Unfortunately I do not have the AC-3 codec. In any case, with rawframe buffer and set to highest video quality output, the picture is sensationally clear and fluid. I get 96.65% speed. Absolutely stunning and beautiful playback.
What audio plugin do you guys use for this video?
no problem playing videos properly coded for 640x480 sizes at max resolution, sound, etc
using TCPMP or CorePlayer, they both plays great!

But on which device, x7510? You mean you were able to install TCPMP on X7510?
Then which version? And could you provide your installer?
lennie answered that already

best video
I have a x7501 no matter how I set it the video display is not smooth. I lovegbe big screen but when I made a video comparison with iPhone 3g, x7501 is worlds apart. iPhone 3g is so sharp and bright. I think it's a OS issue

Yes, and I commented that also. This version is no solution for me. It is not only to install the app, but to be able to play my videos as well.
This version gives me good audio and scrambled video, so no joy.
I have already CorePlayer and am happy with it, but just was curious.
hi
any news ?.....ways to improve?
I was looking for the best performance for CorePlayer on my 7510 and this configuration is best for me:
video:
selected driver - ATI Imageon (acceleration turned "off"!). Don't choose "DirectDraw", "Raw FrameBuffer" or "GDI" on HTC 7510 - they are slowest than Imageon without acceleration!
dithering - "on". halftones - "on". quality - "best"
Buffer: video output buffer set to: 4200 kb
hi.. I've just bought a D2 and installed coreplayer. I dun seem to be able to play anything smoothly. Can some one provide their settings for a smooth playback please ? thanx for your help
It's hard to help without having any info about your ROM,Coreplayer version etc. I guess it's a bitrate problem that is just too high. Generally, DIVXs downloaded from internet or DVDRips are meant to be played on PCs and I never managed to play them smoothly directly in Topaz. My solution is to convert (everything is automatic) video files with HTC Touch HD Video Converter. You'll get a smooth and detailed playback on Coreplayer and HTC Album.
My Coreplayer 1.3.0 b.6213 video settings are:
Video output: QTv Display
Video quality: High
Smooth Zoom: On
Hi.
Is there a way to watch AVC/h.264 Videos on the HD2?
I've tried it with different Videos from nfl.com, for example this http://www.nfl.com/videos/nfl-game-highlights/09000d5d814c6a83/NFL-GameDay-Patriots-vs-Dolphins-highlights - ripping it from the website first and saving it on the storage card of the HD2. Core-Player says it doesnt support AVC/h.264. The default Multimedia-Player on HD2 freezes on loading the videos.
It would be great to have a way watch this kind of videos on the hd2.
Thanks in advance and regards.
strange you say that. both coreplayer and the default player from HTC can play AVC video for me.
Strange... then maybe is something special about the videos on nfl.com. They arent playable on both on Core and HTC-Player.
I re-encoded the clip. Its still AVC - but a different profile. The HD2 now plays it.
Hello
I have a strange problem.
Yesterday I recorded a video(in 720P mode) with HTC sensation, came home, and played it normally on my samsung 40LEC650 HD TV over dnla(allshare), wirelles over phone.
Then I recorded some more videos (in all posiblle resolutions and sizes), tried to play them on tv, and error occurs - video codec not supported.
Then I tried again playing the first video, and it plays normally, just every other doesnt.
All videos offcourse in 3gp format.
What happened?? And what can I do to be able to play all videos?
Bor
I have the same issue. Samsung plasma tv. Video codec not supported on all but a couple of videos. Strange!
Sent from my HTC Sensation Z710e using xda premium
dnla problem
I think I ve found out what the problem is. Transfer your videos on to computer and check properties od each one. Check the bitrate and frames per second. It seems that tv doesn't play files with low bitrate or fps.
I ve recorded some videos, and those with bad sunlight (light from surroundings) have lower bitrate and won't play.
I think that's it.
Check YouTube user jemecb Video1- this one plays
Video2 (bad light) - my tv won't play
If anyone knows how to get past this please help
Greeting
There is a cameramod that, while it isn't widely agreed upon that it improves the quality of the image, does increase the bitrate quite a bit in the videos.
So if it's bitrate you need, then try the modded camera from the sensation development forum.
