everyone,
i am trying to play an mp4 film on my htc touch pro,... have good sound but no picture,...
maybe a 'codec' issue, but any ideas on how do i resolve this,...?
thanks,
ek
I dont think that Windows Media player that comes with WM6.1 supports it.
Your best bet is to get a media player, something like CorePlayer (not free) or TCPMP (free).
thanks st, but which version of tcpmp do you recommend,...? i just installed v.72rc and it gave me an error message,... what do you think about v.71,...?

Please make sure you always try to read my past articles. I've devoted a HUGE article to playing back H.264 (including ASP) files. See http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=352204
Yea .... what the man said
I use CorePlayer and it works very well without the need to install anything else.
would love to read how to solve these issues, and do not want to take up space on the forum, but please don't preach to me about posts that are not easy to find,...
will follow your lead,

Read through everything on this site, very detailed by the way and thank you, but there is no information about why TCPMP won't run on the Touch Pro which I believe is what the issue was in the first place.
Seems to be a common issue without resolution. I wonder if someone as knowledgable as yourself could suggest a fix, or another freeware program that would do something similar. Seems from your article though that there are no better programs except CorePlayer which is basically TCPMP v.80 instead of v.72 right? So a fix would be helpful.
Most TCPMP links seem to be broken, but I have found a couple that are still legit. The reason the program is crashing is because we've downloaded a faulty program. My old .cab file of v.72 works just fine with my Touch Pro.
Hello All,
I have spent almost the whole of today looking for a good video converter for the HD2
I have sum new RMVB and MKV Movies and would love too convert them in 800x400 but cant seem too find a good converter!
Can you please help me with whats working for each off you!
Much Appreciated
format factory rocks
The free and amazing mp4forHD.
You can find it on this forum, it's made for HTC HD but it also has a profile the HD2
MeGui - nothing beats it!
Toss3,
but for getting best results in MeGUI advanced experience is needed.
Could you do us the favour and post your most important settings for
best results on HD2 here? Would appreciate it
Best regards, Olioaglio
wow...thanks for the replies guys!!
i found mp4hd and used it too convert the simpsons movie and rambo 4
the quality of conversion is great but the sound and video is out of sync by a little and not much!
should i be looking at any specific settings to get the best out of mp4hd???
thanks again and i will try the other recommendations and get bk too u guys
cheers
I use my custom profile in WinMEnc, which offsets the audio so it plays in sync on the device

Search for p-krill's posts. I'm using the same settings he posted in this thread.
TMPGEnc.XPress converter looks so good but its taking me 5 hrs plus too convert a 2hr movie
the quality looks immaculate with the settings provided
am trying formfactory now so let you know how it goes but it seems alot quicker and has alot of functions aswell
Have a look at the HTC HD Touch Video Converter, get also really nice results. And you can use Subtitles too.
TMPGEnc.XPress
There have been really quite a lot of threads on this subject before: original poster, you might like try to searching the forum before posting a question to see if it has been asked before.
A couple of examples of earlier threads: here, here and here.
Sadly, such threads never seem come to any useful conclusions. This is partly because everyone piles in and automatically recommends whichever app they use, without stating why they recommend it, or what benefits it has over any other app, or what parameters they recommend using with it. It's also because I don't think ever completely nailed down the optimum encoding parameters. This thread got some way towards that goal, but I don't think we ever came to any firm conclusions.
If you are not sure what you are doing then I recommend MP4ForHD, which you can download here. The results are perhaps not quite optimal, but they're pretty good, and it's fairly idiot proof. Use the default HD2 profile, to begin with.
I would steer clear of the Touch HD "Video Encoding GUI" as its settings are too conservative for the HD2; it trades off video quality for ease of processing in a way that is necessary on a Touch HD but not on an HD2.
If you are more of an expert then I suggest MediaCoder.
To elaborate on my settings.
Install WinMEnc
Add my profile to the profile folder.
Load WinMenc, add you files, select my profile from the dropdown list, check 'fit to width' on the 'Video' tab, and encode.
Play the mp4 in HTC Album.
Example video
I've batch encoded Dexter season 4 720p with the above settings, and it looks amazing.

Simply because everyone has their own standards of what is good/good enough/who cares? There isn't a single encoding method that is the "best", per se.
For me, I have ended my quest for encoding specs, and I've already listed the software and parameters I've used. I'm sure someone out there will disagree, saying that other parameters would make it better in terms of size/quality, with or without CUDA (and the list goes on and on), and kudos to them. Personally I'm more than happy with my encodes, I'm glad that kr00t0n finds it useful too.

Recently I'm having troubles with this profile for encoding mkvs (mostly music videos)...They tend to crash a little into the encoding. You have this problem?
However if I encode them into avi with similar encoding specs, it works. It looks like encoding h264 into h264 causes a problem for mkvs, at least for me.

Hi,
i downloaded HTC touch HD video converter 1.21 version.
and converted a 2.5GB 720p mkv movie to 800x480 900kbps 160kb audio.
i am interested in mainly converting mkv to hd2 format.
i have a duo 2 core 8400 processor and it took me like 4 hrs.
i read somewhere that on HD2 keeping the video bitrate above 700kbps doesnt make a difference and just ends up using more battery while playback.
is that true??
what should be the best settings i should keep in order to get good results?
also is there any other way to convert in a shorter time than this??
will keeping a lower video bitrate decrease the total time??
i know many of you will say trial and error is the best way, but i am asking to get a head start as 4+hrs to convert one movie is alot of time.
anyways thanks for answering guys
i am curious too about the questions geronemo has, maybe some would like to share their experiences here?
I use badaboom it use your Nvidia GPU wich is much faster If you want the right settings for it ask me. 30 minutes video is 6 minutes converting video.
Hi All
Is there or is there not a Vlc player for the WM. I have read various forums and followed dead links and would like to know oce and for all does this exist or not and if so does anyone have a working link to the download the app.
Many thanks in advance
Is this is what you're looking for ?
http://portableapps.com/news/2010-02-01_-_vlc_media_player_portable_1.0.5
A.F.A.K there is no VLC the best freebee you will find is TCPMP or if you wish for the up to date version CorePlayer but costs money.
Hi guys
Thanks for the answers and link
I had a look at the portable apps but this is actually for windows 2000 and above, so I think stylez you are correct in saying that as yet the answer is no, but it would be nice if they did make a version, oh well maybe one day.
To bad I found the wrong stuff , thought it looked very promising.
I must say I agree with stylez , Coreplayer and tcpmp is without a doubt the best players for WinMo..
Anyway keep on searching , and maybe you'll find something about the vlc someday, but until then I suggest you use coreplayer
Mod edit:
Do not post warez/cracked software on this forum!
hi ... i want to know tht nokia n900 have vlc player.in n900 we can install vlc media player. N900 is running on linux and Android is also running on linux. so wy android dnt have vlc yet ?

Hi everyone!
Since Qualcomm isn't releasing armv6 binary blobs for the QDSP5 (HTC Legend) for ICS, and software decoding through ffmpeg is blazingly fast anyways, I thought that perhaps I could use ffmpeg instead of the apparently slow software implementation used now in ICS when a dedicated device is missing.
So this is about fixing two things: HQ Youtube/IMDB video playback which is currently at 4-10fps and video recording.
After some investigation (and currently building CM7.2 from source), I have come to the following possibilities:
1. Use something like limoa which provides an OpenMax interface to the full power of ffmpeg. This has the highest chance of also getting camcordering to work for free.
2. Integrate ffmpeg into libstagefright directly: some files and ffmpeg configure options seem to support the feasability of this idea, but I am not sure if this still works and if it will influence video recording as nr.1.
Any and lots of helpful input is appreciated. I believe I can compile the limoa thing for Android (I have gotten it to compile on native linux and I have experience in cross-compiling), but I wouldn't know how to tie it into the Android media stack as a replacement for whatever is in place now. Frankly, I'm hoping some renaming of an so and manual installation steps would do the job (ie, replace libomx????.so with the ffmpeg-based one), but I doubt it.
This will of course have direct benefits for any device left out in the cold by the non-release of armv6 OpenMax IL binaries by Qualcomm, so help me help yourself
Thanks!
Did anyone try this?
The furthest I got was compiling the omx library based on ffmpeg for arm-linux-androideabi-gcc. I have no idea where I can plug this in, as I can't find the omx symbols this library exports (also the symbols described by the OMX IL spec/headers).
Since ICS runs flakily on my device, I'm not pursuing this anymore. I'll keep to Froyo (HTC) or GB (CM7.2), currently on the old stuff.
PS: I asked this Q on SO, with no response:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/...264-software-encoder-with-an-ffmpeg-based-one
Interesting
This look interesting, I would like to participate in this field as my phone is Sony Ericsson Xperia 8 such as the cpu is armv6...
But my programming knowledge are none
I have linux & Gcc
What should i do ? if you are willing to lend me a hand?
This is a great idea!!!
Hopefully it

CKKNot, are you working on this effort? I have a P500 running jellybean, but developers there are stuck without OMX drivers.
This is one alternative that could potentially help a lot of device owners.
I hope it could help us with this Jelly Bean ROM: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1789713

This was my best news. At lease I can use this before VLC metro were release.
Nice work. The site claims it's missing the decoders, though; what formats does it support? Does it just use the Windows built-in ones?
It can open the most of video, at least. But most of them, usually the one that build in video app can't play, it very slow and the video so lag then video and audio doesn't sync.

It uses native decoders.I have tried rmvb,wmv,x264,mpeg2,vob.FFplay uses sdl1.2 and its very slow on Windows RT so I am looking for a third part player based on ffmpeg which support D3D or DDRAW renderer.
Why FFmpeg didn't include in list at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2092348 ?
Short version? Because I haven't added it yet.
Long version? Because I wasn't sure that it would actually be usable, due to either lacking codecs or having them run very slowly, and I haven't had a chance to test it yet. You may notice that the list tends to get updated a bit sporadically; I try to get to it a couple times a week but sometimes life gets in the way.
Its easy to compile the new ffmpeg version with msvc and MinGW.Can any one help to compile it?I know nothing about MinGW so its too difficult for me.

If we could use MinGW for RT, we could port a *lot* more apps. I don't know how to adapt those instructions for targeting RT even if the whole thing does compile under MSVC, though it may be possible. Worth a look, at least. It's worth remembering that VLC is / has done a lot of work targeting MinGW-gcc for WinRT including ARM; hopefully it can be targeted for desktop RT pretty easily too.
im sorry for this noob question but sir, could you please wrote a detailed instruction how to install this? im running win8 enterprise.

I imagine Windows binary formats are generally the same no matter what the context. So it will probably work. Wish they'd release even a WIP version of the compiler just so we could play with it!

Why are "PowerDVD" and "mobild.HD media Player" able to play "10GB+""1080p"-mkv-files flawlessly? Do they bring their own Codec?
720p files runs fine with ffmpeg0.6arm+D3D-mod, but the 1080p-mkv files are playing very very slow, even with Parameters "-fast" and/or "-framedrop"...
Thank you so much

PowerDVD do indeed use their own codecs, the developer are part of the group which write up the specs for DVD video and various video formats etc. They can write a ton of codecs, they are not open source.
