Smooth video playback on IMATE SP5M (Tornado)

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.

No video playback after official 6.1 upgrade

I did the update with the official HTC release. Coming from one of the modified ROM's from here. Some small things did improve. But the major drawback is that I cannot play video files (MPG, AVI) anymore. A hard reset didn't change this. Searching this forum on video playback for days now without being able to detect what would work for me. Installling 3d drivers? Why 3d, I just want video playback. Flashing to another ROM? Which one?
Thanks for reading and maybe help.

I have the same problem after upgrading to WM 6.1 official. I have 3D drivers too. Can be this that problem ?!?

with

For me it is with the standard Windows player and with Coreplayer.
Thanks for your help.

I have the same problem... With bepe 0.67 room's I have no problem with coreplayer, but with the official WWE 6.1 ROm no playback anymore... Can anybody help us?

For me the same !

I have no problems with coreplayer v.1.2.5.
The default media player works ok with mp4 but no .avi.

Did you do anything extra to make Coreplayer run on the offical HTC WM6.1 update?

Link to Dowload
Hi everybody,
I installed coreplayer 1.2.5 and I play my videos again...
MOD Edit: Link removed. CorePlayer is commercial software that requires a S/N, so posting it here is not allowed.

Walter

You really shouldn't post links to warez here.

Strange.
I have no problems without coreplayer. Just stock player whatever-it-is. Plays mpeg/avi/Youtube smoother than 6.0
No tweaks used. Just upgraded + hard reset, used only official ROMs

After installing PocketTV video playback works.
