Lower the bitrate of movie when encoding, use a portable format like .mp4, lower the quality of audio.
You will find the settings that you can encode every video @ with trial and error.
"Please in future post in the correct sub forum as this is a question"

Also, some players play some formats faster than others
you can try the free TCPMP player (you can find it in the DEV&HACK section)

VLC Player for HTC Touch 2

Hi all,
I got my new HTC touch 2. Its awsome and i like it a lot.
I copied a movie(700 MB)(.avi/.mp4) file and tried opening in WMedia Player. I was able to hear the sound but there was no picture display.
Do i need to convert the (.avi/mp4) files to HTC Touch 2 format.
Pls provide me some VLC Palyer which an run .avi and .mp4 files.
Thanks
Ganesh
You need something like core player 1.3.6
Version 0.72RC1 was last free but doesn´t work on mega.
You need something like PocketDivXEncoder_0.3.96.exe on your PC to convert the movie to PPC
I conver videos to avi/divx . Audio 128 kbps and video 360 kbps. I dont tried bigger quality. Tried someone bigger quality ?
What resolution?
Think that touch2 have 320x240pixel only
I've notice that 640x480 resolution is better
Please post it dude
Hope i can play big movie files(700MB)(AVI Format)
Thanks a lot dude
tcmpc doesn´t work in touch mega.
640x480 is better resolution but touch mega ONLY have 320x240.
Why you want more resolution if you cannot see better because the best resolution to mega is 320x240.
Movies in 320x240 are 200mb more or less

in Bulgaria we have a nice torrent site , where i find many new films with .mp4 or .avi format and about 250-500mb big ... with CorePlayer i pwn them also WMplayer opens them too ;]] the quality is good enough
get the CorePlayer from bellow it's nice i keep all the .cab files on my microSD card ;]]
Install the both and choose what fits u better ;]] i prefer the CorePlayer , the TCPMP is just an older of the core player ;]]

How you can see movies on HTC
Hy people,
I use Acala 3GP converter (acala-3gp-movies-free.en.softonic.com) to convert the movies in 3GP format, witch can be watched on HTC.
After you install the software on your PC, you can convert any movies from AVI/other format to 3GP.
Then you can simply copy these 3GP movies to your HTC and you can see it with DivX Player (labs.divx.com/Mobile).
For me it works fine!
Bye
Hi,
To convert movies and get a high end quality I use videora HTC converter for the conversion of the movies, and core player to see them in the htc. The result is perfect.
Super
Hi,
I agree with you kings1204. There are many way to convert videos and watch on HTC. Also you can use Core Player or Tcpmp for watch after conversion.
Like this one.
" Super " is a free program to convert most of the video and audio files for any mobile phones included here smartphone and PPC.
Anyway you can follow this link www.erightsoft.com/SUPER.htmlhttp:/www.erightsoft.com/SUPER.html

Hi All
The Mega actually has it's own built in video player but will only play MP4 or AVI files.
To get this to work just open up your video list from the SD card and tap on the movie and enjoy. Do not use the WMP. This may seem like sucking eggs but I have owned my Mega for three months and only just worked this out
TCPMP does work on the Mega but it can be a bit jerky and sometimes the movie can only be viewed in landscape making control a bit awkward, it will play in portrait but you may only have audio.
The DIVX player for windows mobile is absolute pants and should be avoided at all costs, unless you can lip read as the audio lags about 1 -2 seconds making viewing virtually impossible.
If you want a good convertor then go for DVD CATALYST FREE. This will convert to windows TCPMP, MP4 and many others. If you want your film to play perfectly on the Mega convert it using the (please forgive me for saying this) Ipod touch option and you should get an average size of 400Mb still big but a lot but better than 700Mb.

Hello, I'm using ( Aimersoft Video Converter ) and the profile of the iPhone 3GS the quality is brilliant and very very smooth , try it and give me a reply , i've been using it since i bought the HD2 and i just love it !
Hope it will work for every one of U .

+1 for coreplayer or TCPMP. Why take the time to convert videos when you can simply play them?
I bought coreplayer ... It's the one for me and a good prize too
Tried coreplayer and it's having problem in my unit, the video will be messed up and has to restart don't know why.
This video converter is very good, with the ability to re-sync audio (not that I have needed to yet). It was developed for the HD by an xda member. But yeah, TCPMP or Coreplayer will work if you don't want to convert it.
Thanks gotta give it another try.

Switch your video codec to DirectDraw then it will work like charm. Look for more tweaks in coreplayer forum.

Oh thanks but please let me know how to change video codec.
COREPLAYER: Menu > Tools > Settings > Select Page > Video > Video Output - change to DirectDraw
TCPMP: Options > Video > DirectDraw
In coreplayer, just make sure that a video is NOT playing when you do this....it tends to crash and forces you to do a soft reset (at least it does for me!)
I have no probs playing flv with coreplayer or TCPMP, I just prefer Coreplayer.
Thanks so much, actually GDI codec works for me but there's still very slight sync issue for some videos.
You may also want to try Chainfire's 3d drivers (if you haven't already)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=592663 (not the beta drivers - yet!)
Some people have said it improves DirectDraw performance in Coreplayer, but I never had any problems before, so I can't really say yes or no to that! The drivers do help with other apps too, so I would say they are worth installing anyway.
I think there is a known problem with the HD2 and video/audio sync, but again (lucky me), I've never noticed it.

Finally a player that is better than rockplayer

Today i have a free application to recommend (MoboPlayer) , it's still on beta.
Official website : http://moboplayer.com/moboplayer_en.html
Tested this application with a 720p MKV anime and it can play smoothly on it, tried it on rockplayer and it lag like hell.
However I think it's only work on 720p with around 30fps since Sony capped the max fps. Tried it with 24fps video and no problem with it.
It's support almost every type of video files just like rockplayer but have a nicer interface but you have to add the video into it's library in order to read.
Download link extracted from the website: http://update.moboplayer.com/android/release/mobo_1.0.120_v7_neon.apk
Please try it and comment below.
it did not even find my media,while other players did!
Awesome player! Confirmed but not high volume videos.

VITAL player is best
VITAL is better i guess
I have a 200MB .mkv file It plays in VITAL
Laggy in moboplayer/
i`ve tested a file with vital player
720p - 28 minutes - 1GB - mkv file - audio ac3 5.1
the vital player cant play it smooth and correct.
its very laggy. will test the mobo player next...
Now i can uninstall QQPlayer Vplayer nice...
V Player is BEST !!
I use Meridian Player and it seems to play files very smoothly. I shall give this one a shot though.

I´ve tested mobo player now with the same file...
i cant understand why everybody is talking that kind of **** in this thread!?
pls believe me that there is no player for sony x10 which can play "real" 720p files well without async audio and laggy frames.
buy next phone with dualcore and i think its possible...
THE BEST Video player i ever seen for android .... way better than Vplayer's stupid interface ..... thank you very much
I really LOVE MixZing for all my MP3s! Its got a clean, simple, and dark interface. For video I use mVideoPlayer for Anime because its the only one I know that automaticly got subtitles for my episodes.
VitalPlayer I've been using for video, but I don't like how it doesn't have a list of your media like mVideoPlayer.
I'm gonna try this new one and see what I think... the hunt to only use one continues.
Amazing it's the best player to this moment ..
I test a lot of player but this is the best thanks man ...

Which version of Vital Player is for the X10 as our devices are Arm7 but on Market it states that Vital Player Neon is suitable for our X10s, even though that version is suppose to be for Cortex A8 devices only???

Sigh... That's just plain ignorant... The X10 has a hardware decoder that can handle even 1080p without any problems... BUT since it's a hardware decoder, the video stream has to be in a format it understands. In the X10, that means H.263, H.264 and MPEG-4.
Any other codec needs software decoding and for that, there isnt enough CPU power to do at more than ~15fps for 720p. By dropping frames, that wont desync audio but it will be laggy to watch so that statement is just plain wrong. Dualcore also wont change that one bit.
As for container, atleast from what I've seen so far, no third party player has ever handled hardware decoding themself but always relied on the built in videoplayer for that and simply showing the output. That however limits you also to containers that the builtin player understands for this, which is only MP4, AVI and MPG. But that may very well change and if OP states that this player can play 720p MKV files, it may very well be the first player to properly implement calling of the hardware decoder itself. Will be intresting to see.
But please, learn what it is you're bashing before doing it. It saves people from having to come correct your misconceptions about what you're bashing.

read the first post and you can see that he was talking about MKV FILES !!!
But its the same with an 720p avi file... i dont have the chance to test the mp4 at the moment...
everytime i want to play a 720p movie (and not a camera record) its laggy on my x10.
you mean if i rip a movie in the mp4 there would be no problems at all?
Ok, so I just tried this player... and it is super awesome!! Easily the best one I've tried so far! Thanks for sharing!
it took my application sound files and paired it with my audio files. not cool.
Thanks for all your feedbacks. The 720p (1280x720) h264 mkv file that I tried run smoothly on it. As some of you stated it's still lag, therefore i tried a 720p mp4 file and the video is quite smooth however there's lot of distortion in the audio maybe due to the 5 channel audio.
Will try again tommorrow if I have the time.
Anyway one of the good points of this player is
1) Better interface
2) Able to choose dual audio track (English, Japanese) or dual subtitles (English, German etc)
3) Much more smoother than other player
4) More gesture function.
Hope you all can get the best out of this player. Have a nice day.

[Q] Can galaxy r play this video?

i think galaxy r has a weak DSP because it records 720p video and doesn't play 1080p videos and i think even 720p playback is limited to [email protected]/4 ref frames.
here is a 720p mp4 avc [email protected] sample for you to try and see if it works in stock player:
https://rapidshare.com/files/1822600111/720p_avc_high_l4_cabac_4_ref_frames.mp4

https://rapidshare.com/files/3012087529/720p_avc_high_4.1_cabac_4_ref_frames.mp4
the samples are only 2 mb, so please try them out in stock player and tell me the result.
thanx in advance
1) Why do you have to use a stock player if you can choose full HW-accelerated: Dice or MX player?
2)I have S2 - I can't really see the difference between 720p and 1080p on such small screen (4'3") and I don't think any human eye would see it

stock player also does hw acceleration, and if a dual core phone doesnt play 1080p video, then at least it should have full 720p support
yes but stock player doesn't play all video formats the two players above do.
BTW. these samples are far away from HQ-quality, especially divine enrique is extremely pixelated I don't think it'll make any difficulty for SGR, but let's wait and see.

stock player doesnt play all formats because it does hw decoding only while mx and dice can do both hw and sw decoding which uses cpu and drains battery much faster than hw
and it is not about quality(bit rate), what matters is resolution(720p) and codec settings([email protected] frames)
I tried to play these 2 videos..
stock player was unable to play both the videos..
but. mx player with fast sw decoding played both clips very well...

Hey i tried using vplayer to play a video, its still lags.....
The video is a dvd rip movie and a mkx format (i guess, though not sure abt the format) and apprx 1.7GB. When i tried playing through stock app, it didnt played.
When i tried using mx and dice, they played but a bit laggy.
but when i used xplayer, its more laggy
and upon using hardware decoder in mx,dice its unable to play
is there any solution play such video without any lag on our R ??

this phone doesn't play anything in stock player(hardware decoding) above 720p [email protected]/3 ref frames, you can download media info to know the specs of the videos you want to play:
http://mediainfo.sourceforge.net/en/Download
i guess if you want play anything above that smoothly using CPU( software decoding), you should use NEON optimized codecs for the player you installed like mx neon codecs from here:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mxtech.ffmpeg.v7_neon&feature=more_from_developer
but, you should install mx player first
