Divx movies are AVI's

Opps... Sorry, just a blond moment... lol...

nice, the player doesnt play ANY of my divx movies

Lol...!!! Now thats wat I was talkin about...

I use TCPMP to play all of my xvid and divx movies. I also use pocket divx encoder to compress it again for playback on my phone specifically. Every movie / tv show I put on play smoothly.
TCPMP and pocket divx encoder are both free. Just a quick google away.

Wat about the core player? I use that on my s60 to play every damn format...

I've never tried core player (mainly because it isn't free); however, from what I have read - it is a very good and stable program.

Hmmm... Might as well try your solution then... lol...

Keep in mind that I havn't tried the program that this thread is all about. You movies might work if you use pocket divx encoder for this as well. I don't really know. I am not interested in trying it myself as I am extremely happy with TCPMP myself

Does TCPMP play all the formats including M4A?

I believe it does. I Just checked and it is in the supported format list. I have it associated to play these; although, I personally have not tried. Don't have anything in M4A format
Edit : we should not talk about TCPMP anymore in this thread as this is not the topic of this thread. There are threads in this forum that talk about TCPMP.

TCPMP became Core player, its not free but its much better.
I will have to give the one the OP posted a try and see how it works, if it can do what Core / TCPMP can I'll give it a go, free stuff is always welcome.

Yeah I know... Free is the best innit...!!!

Take a look as this forum for TCMP (Core Player) details.....
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=421722&highlight=core+player
IF you search the Diamond forums using the key words "Core Player" then you MIGHT find a 4Shared download link for the lastest CorePlayer cab file????
Take care

ac3 capable media player/codecs

Going nuts here... is there or is there not a player for topaz that can play divx with ac3 audio? or codecs to use with built in media player and/or coreplayer?

He's asking for a player not a converter...
To be onest missing ac3 support on windows mobile is quite irritating! I haven't found a single program able to play ac3 audio on wm and that really sucks!

I've heard that TCPMP runs ac3 but I haven't got the player working on my Topaz, it just crashes or freezes when the video starts playing (I have tested ALOT of version, the updated ones for newer WM builds too).
It's sad that CorePlayer don't support ac3, and I don't know WHY they don't..

I just found this thread, a year old or three.. but I bet it's still valid.
There was some limited discussion of this in the previous forum. I don't believe there are any current plans to bring back AC-3, at least in the near future. Like AAC and AVC, which require licensing and royalties for inclusion, AC-3 would also have to be licensed (Dolby owns the patents), so it would increase the cost to us as users beyond the normal price points of a mobile app.

They are however "going" to implement ac3-support as a standalone library one can purchase. I read something about version "1.5.x" so I guess it's still a long time left until ac3-support is added again

Why do you need ac3 in a stereo phone?
if it was in a media center I would understand, but in a mobile.
you can convert the dvd or what ever format you amy have to a mobile format, and save space. if the mobile only has 480*800 why play a full hd clip on it, you're looosing space and speeed becaus the player has to reduce the image.
if you convert it you'll whatch it in stereo and optimized 4 the mobile resolution.

Unfortunately converting takes time and it's the year of 2009 with 32 gb sd cards ... I really think space it's not a problem anymore on mobile devices!
I love simplicity... Why would I ever want to convert something that I want to see on my device? No sir, I want to paste it from my pc and than watch it without doing anything else.
It is possible and I'll do this even if it costs me space (temporary, because I usually delete after I seen it) and more cpu/battery usage.
BTW, I haven't been able to run TCPMP on my Topaz since I got it. (In the best scenario it starts and freezes when any video is loaded).

Core Player

On my HD I could play AVI files using Core Player, on the HD2 the same files play the audio but the viseo is:
1. In small screen very "liney" and doubled, 2 images side by side.
2. In full screen the screen is blank.
Any ideas?

maybe u have to set "directdraw" instead "qtv" in video settings

Actually, I do not understand why people want to keep on using Core Player.
The best movie player is already embedded in the HD2 itself in Photos/Videos album, because it has hardware acceleration.
CorePlayer is now a very old-fashioned software (2007) and the latest versions (1.35 and 1.36 are quite buggy).
Play your mp4 with the HTC video player and you will really see the difference.

yes true but to play divx or xvid files,coreplayer is still the best one,you dont need to convert it in mp4 and 1.36 is working just fine on my leo without bugs

where is the HTC video player located on the phone & will it play AVI files?

where are these setting changed?

menu/tools/preferences
select page
/video then change qtv to raw framebuffer

i got coreplayer to work perfect only with these settings
in preferences-->select page--->video---> than select GDI and smooth zoom
any different setup would show pixelated image(video)

While we're talking about CorePlayer, can it show subs? If so how?
Have searched through every settings now but i can't find any settings for subs.
If not, is there a player that plays DivX Xvid's with subs in srt or sub format?
CorePlayer plays almoast everything i can think of, and are working fine on HD2 here to.. Is CorePlayer dead now or what?

i don't think coreplayer can play subs , but tcpmp can...however i didn't try it on my hd2 and don't know if it works

tcpmp works fine set to either gdi or rawframebuffer
not tried subs but they should work too
biggest benefit of tcpmp over coreplayer is the price

Tcpmp works, you can use srt (and I think smi) subtitles. You have to use GDI as video driver to see them.

Colors
Do you like the colors of coreplayer (or tcpmp) out of the box?
I had to change them to custom, raise the contrast a bit and lower the brightness.
I find HTC album images a bit too dark instead (but I can't change)

ummm......ain't wma files audio only files?

For those who might be desirous to buy CorePlayer 1.36 I strongly recommand to be patient.
Indeed CorePlayer 1.36 is a dying software. CoreCodec is currently finalizing a version 2.0.
It would be useless to waste €30 on v1.36 now and probably have to pay later for v2.0.

Open .avi files with HTC-Player?

Hello.
Even when i open a .avi-file in the HTC-Player it switches to WMP for playback.
Is it possible to open .avi-files with the HTC-Player instead of the Windows Media Player?
Thanks in advance and best regards.

Wait .. you mean you can play AVIs in WM player ? Cause I can't ..

As i know, you can play AVI files by using CorePlayer (But you have to pay for it).

I know, but i would prefer to play them with HTC-Player because it runs more smothly than the CorePlayer.

You could also try tcpmp its as far as i know a free version of core player and it works extremely well even on a htc diamond

the latest version of tcpmp does not work on my hd2 .....

apparently core player does not use hardware acceleration like Media player, hence to weaker performance

Video Player for HD2

Is there any video player that can play .flv files?
It seems after flv files are converted to mp4 audio/video is out of sync for the HD2 video player, so I'd like to know is there any good video player that can be installed and thanks!

+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.
