WMV plugin for WMP

A lot of movies are coming out with digital copies & they are all in WMV format but our players don't support it.
I tried searching but all I found was the plugin for TCPMP, which didn't work too well. Anyway I would like to know if there is a plugin for WMP on our phones? I have a few of these digital copies & I would like to put them on my storage card for those boring days at work. If anyone has a plugin or a solution, I would really appreciate it.

Where are the movies?? Anyways, CorePlayer should play them, about $25 directly from CoreCodec, which should be cheap for you judging by your avatar !

What are you talking about? Windows Media Player plays WMV files. it's already on your phone.

Talking about certain codecs not included in WMP, so you need a different player. Most videos can't be played through WMP.

Thanks for the reply. I was hoping to not have to buy anything new but you gotta do what you gotta do. Anyway, a new question... if I buy this coreplayer will it do everything tcpmp does or do I have to keep tcpmp on my Kaiser?
As far as the movies... I have Juno & AVPr right now but a lot of movies come with an extra disc right now that you can download it from... Look for it on the cover, it says digital copy right on it

Cool, I have to check out my friend's DVD collection . Anyways, CorePlayer does all the main functions of TCPMP, but a bit better, and I personally like the looks of it better. It has the YouTube function built-in, but currently you have a limited number of results, so if your looking for a specific video, you must type a lot. I use CorePlayer as my main video player, and still keep TCPMP with the FLV bundle to watch video directly from the web.

Sweet I been reading up on it since you suggested it & I'm sold on it now. Thanks I hope it plays these movies. I'll let you know as soon as I got it all set up

WACK!!! Same thing as tcpmp... Granted, it looks better but its the same outcome. The video will start but it won't play. It starts loading & then it stays like that forever. Occassionally it plays a clip of the sound but only a fraction of a second
Any tips for the settings to change Champ?

Video player

Hello
I got my Topaz for some time now, but i am wondering wheter i can use the video player from the "photos and videos" tab for everything.
I just can use it for selfmade videos and the sample which was on the phone.
I just like the design, thats why i am asking.
i tested coreplayer and vlc but both of them were really laggy.
windows mediaplayer is simply ugly.
Is there any way for using this player?

Simply convert your video to mp4 format and your set. I recommend DVD Catalyst 3 it cost only about 10$ and can convert almost any format ready to play on your topaz. There are predefined settings for almost all devices and the list gets updated.

ok thats simple
I will try that out.
thanks for your help.

You shouldn't have to pay for an app. Here's one originally from the Touch HD forum:

htc hd2 video converter

I have an external hard drive with a bunch of movies. i want to put some on my htc hd2.
anyone know of a good video converter to use?

AVS
I use AVS Video converter 6. In there I convert to MP4 using the Epsom Best Quality MPEG4 720x480 preset. It works really well. All you need to do is call to the file in explorer and click and it will play in full screen. I know the resolution isn't exactly perfect but you can't tell by looking at it.

Format Factory is very good program for this. I'm using this for my iphone 3gs and hd2 both.

i advocate mediacoder. (mediacoderhq.com/dlfull.htm) it's an opensource video format converter. i've attached two config files you can use to convert it to your phone's specs. one is for standard videos, and the next for youtube videos (they tend to be a bit quirky).
anyway, once you've opened mediacoder, go to file>load preset and import the unzipped xml files.

XMedia Recode

XMedia Recode is the best free converter for the HD2 hands down, at least in my opinion.

Mp4ForHD
I use this one:

and in mine too. Try it, youllloveit

TCPMP
Use TCPMP 0.72RC1 and You don't need to convert anything.

I use FormatFactory for anything that TCPMP-0.72RC2-ARM-WM6-Latest can't decode. It doesn't get any easier than that.

ErightSoft Super. 100% free.

I use DVD Soft... Its a freeware and it has software especially for HTC's...

I just converted two videos with XMedia Recode and those are working great on my HD2

movie 800x480 hd2

where can download movie 800x480 for hd2

Use this - you can convert any movie into the correct size and format.

good question because I need it too
I cant watch any movies on my HD2
the convert programs makes the file so big and heavy on the HD2 !!!!

Why do u need to convert to watch movie or video file? I can watch very resolution on mine with TCPMP

Use CorePlayer, TCPMP or the old TouchHD-Converting Programm (very basic and very good for making MP4s with the optimum quality for 800x480)

Very stupid questions, sorry cos im gona say that, but u can use Core player or TCMP so u can watch every DIVX movie without problems, most of DIVX i watch on my hd2 without need of resizing.

quality.
Why bother watching in high def if you can watch on normal def?
why watch in colour if you can watch in black and white?
why bother buying a hd2 if you can make phone calls from a public phone box?

I have tcmp and pocket divx. Very impressed. No problems with size of sound. Have not tried core player. Stuck iron man into a rar and was only 700mb. Very crisp.

I think he is asking for a site where he can download movies from.

lmao
the funniest thread ever!

lol - there's some rude kids in here isn't there!

You dont need to convert them anyway, buy a 16gb card and get core player.
Works perfectly here on my HD2

I just wanna know if core player can play .rmvb video ?
It's very annoying to convert it as other format can be played directly without
conversions.
Thx to anyone who can help me.

@cmchan,
Have you tried to call MPAA? they should have a full list of the available links

So does anyone knows which app can play .rmvb files ?

On HD2, there isn't a single app that can play rmvb decently.

Is there any good movie player apps for it that will play mkv files?

I think someone told me of one that you have to pay for a few weeks ago, but wondering if there is some free apps now. For the pc there is a bunch like VLC, Gom and KM player that play every video format. It would be nice to be able to take advantage of the hdmi output.

No Way!!! I'm going to do a search and see if I can find it. It must be on the VLC website I imagine.

I didn't see it on the vlc website. Do you know where to find it? I did a search, but nothing came up. It did mention the ability to play files from your computer remotely, but that is streaming so it wouldn't be HD or great quality I imagine.

I've never been able to find this mystical VLC player for Android when I've looked.. Only VLC remotes. If you find it let me know.

Same... there was one talked about for WM also, but never seen. Please share.

VLC hasn't been ported for Android yet.
That said, the guys that are releasing a PSX emulator and working on an Android N64 emulator, are supposedly going to working on porting VLC in their spare time. http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/04/playstation-emulator-coming-to-android-courtesy-of-yongzh-and-z/

I just installed yxplayer and it won't play a 1.4gb mkv file well at all. It is just a picture every few screens. Maybe the phone can't handle the file size, but my friend has an mkv player he got from china and it is bad a$$. It plays all file types and has mini hdmi out and I doubt it has a processor and ram as much as the evo. It's been out a lil while I'm sure. It has it's own screen but will output to an hd tv and looks just like you were playing a blue ray.

Probably thats the case... my mkvs were 640x480 anime shows. Havent tried anything hi-def...
On a side note, yxplayer is available as a trial only (2 min play time limit, tho some vids played for more and some reqlly did cut off after 2min), and if you wanna buy/pirate it - you won't be able to. The app for some dumb reason uses phone's imei for registration, which is gsm-only =O

Ok, so I'll wait for vlc, or another player to come out. Although I really won't need to play many movies on my phone. I will use my laptop if anything.

Dont forget about CorePlayer... they're working on a version for android as well. CorePlayer for winmo played mkv and nearly everything else I threw at it (performance on the other hand was a totally different subject, lol)

Any idea of a release date for Coreplayer? I've been converting my files for the longest time now but sometimes I don't get a chance to in the case of downloading a football match.

Its been in development for year(s) now, waiting for better NDK on android... Froyo seems to be exactly what they were missing so we should be seeing the app in few months, i hope...
