Hello,
Recently I've been struggling to watch videos on my mobile (HTC HD2).
Personally the best option for me is to convert files to mp4 (H264/AVC) and then watch them using standard Album provided by HTC. Unfortunately I have a problem with converting mpeg - TV recorded with my tuner (Compro E900F). The output file is just full of errors.
I noticed that the file is easly converted when sync with Windows Mobile Player. Unfortunately it is resized (smaller) and has to low bitrate.
Question:
1) Is there any way to increase WMP bitrate far higher than in standard settings (max = ~350 mbps)?
2) Is there any way to force WMP not to resize the videos?
Thanks in advance!

Anyone know about a software that can compress video files so i can fit one movie in my SD card?
wma ? => Windows Media encoder
MP4 ? => any MP4 encoder
or this thread about Pocket Divx http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=15379
I've used many different methods, but now use pocketDivX Encoder - it's so simple, works with just about all my media, and it's very quick. And it's free:

I tend to use video 12 = 192Kbps, audio 4 = 16bit stereo MP3 64Kbps, and this works out about 2.5K per second, so you can easily get a 2h movie on a 256MB card.
Then you can watch them on Beta-Player, which is the best PocketPC divX viewer around at the moment, also free:

hi, anyone watch movies and that on thier phone? just wondering what the optimum video size would be to get a good picture and make it less flickery! and the best programs to use to convert the size of the movie?
Cheers
Hon
anyone?? surely someone must know??
Streaming or stored video files, basically you can use the same parameters and the same tools. I describe streaming only.
Use VLC to stream the video via Wifi or Edge to your phone.
An excellent client is Coreplayer (only 20 bucks)
On VLC set transcoding params like this:
video codec: mpeg4 (alternatively you could use h264)
video bitrate: 300-400kbs (wifi) ; 100-200kbs (edge)
resolution 320x240
audio codec: mp3
audio bitrate: 48-64kbs
container: ts (transport stream)
VLC can stream everything including live TV from TV/Sat cards and also from settop boxes.
If you wonna play files from memstick transcode your videos to files with the wifi parameters.
i used TCPMP with my vox oc'd to 252mhz
it can play most videos stored on my mSD (tv. eps and things of that sort) without having to convert
if i do need to convert, just make sure it's at 320x240
sorry i didnt specify, it is stored movies. cheers
A friend is considering this phone as an upgrade and I'm also interested in finding out about how good video playback on this phone works. Can you install freeware codec packs to support DivX, Xvid and all the other common formats on it like you can with the bigger PDA-style phones? Is its CPU speed enough for it to decode the videos without stutter? Is its built-in player good enough or would I need a third-party app?
I tried it. I think the optimum is Divx or Mpeg4, 320*240 and 512 kbit/s with 44 khz stereo audio. It can be played more than 100 % speed. (TCPMP benchmark).

Depends. If you don't use H/264 / AVC, then, it'll work just great. With AVC, you'll need to stick to CorePlayer and not even then will you 100% frame rate with higher bit rates / resolutions.
I did a tutorial on this
search for "Video Recoding Tutorial - Video Settings" in this forum
does any one know how i play video files on x7510,i tryed wmv and mp4 avi they dont work
play these files with coreplayer,nd if there is a sound lag u r observing,then goto coreplayer-preferences-advanced-down in the list there is an option for +/- av offset,set it to -600,also like done with advanced setting,once again goto preferances-video,try to change the video drivers from default ati imageon to other given such as raw frame buffer,gdi etc....enjoy
Use Xilisoft 3GP Video Converter (ver. 5.1.22.0305 or higher) and convert video with profile "BlackBerry MPEG-4 Video (*.mp4)" - set resolution to 320x240 or 352x264 (in "Profile Settings"). It may be appropriate and another converter with BlackBerry mp4 support and with resolution 320x240 or 352x264. This will give the best results for playback of video in standard Windows Media Player in HTC Advantage (I think it use hardware acceleration). Better than CorePlayer or TCPMP!!! Recommended for all! Complete synchronization of video and audio, smooth and excellent quality without lags.
were do i get corplayer or blackberry converter from
http://www.xilisoft.com/3gp-video-converter.html
For example, I was convert the "Matrix" advertising to format for the our WMP (BlackBery, 352x264, 1500 kbps, 24 fps). You can download and view:

or

(And remember, open only with WMP - in full screen)
I own a TP2. There are four different ways (that I'm aware of) to get iPlayer material playing on this phone:
1) Change the User Agent string in Opera 9.5 to impersonate a Samsung Omnia. You can then visit the mobile version of the iPlayer website and stream material. It plays in the Streaming Media player. Resolution is roughly 320x176. Doesn't work over 3G unless you're with 3 or Vodafone.
2) For programmes that have a "download for mobile device" option on the main iPlayer site (browsed from a desktop PC) you can grab the resulting .wmv file, copy it across to the phone, and play it on the TP2's "Pocket" Media Player. Resolution is 320x176 (ish).
3) There is a stand-alone iPlayer app, which imitates an iPhone; however, it doesn't work on my TP2 (just crashes before you can access anything).
4) The "myplayer" app. This offers two options: stream at 320x176, or (sometimes) download in .mov format. The latter has a slightly higher resolution - something like 480x270. The .mov files can be played back fairly well using Coreplayer, I believe, but I'm too cheap to pay for Coreplayer. Using TCPMP it's a bit jerky, and playing full-screen even more so. Does work over 3G although your carrier will hate you if you try it.
Now, using HTCAlbum as a player, the TP2 can very comfortably handle an .mp4 file with a res of 800x480, and a bit-rate of 750kb/s. So what I'm wondering is if there's any other way of getting iPlayer material to play which offers a higher resolution and better video quality?
The "iPlayer Desktop" downloads appear to be in .mp4 format, but no player other than iPlayer Desktop seems to be able to make head or tail of them.
IPlayer does offer higher-res .wmv downloads of some programmes - these have a res of something like 720x540, but are recorded anamorphically (so they play back at 960x540 or so, with horizontal upscaling). Trying to play one of these on a TP2 (using Windows Media Player) is fairly painful - the bit-rate is too high for it handle, and it doesn't recognise that it's anamorphic, so the aspect ratio is wrong. Feeding one of these WMV's through the Encoder programme that I normally use for converting video to HTCAlbum-compliant .mp4 files produces sparkly gibberish - the WMV is obviously encrypted in a way the Encoder application can't detect or handle.
Are there any other options I'm missing?
Hello
I'm trying to convert video to Android compatible format (mp4 H.264). My phone: HTC Hero. Because of available video filters I would like to use Avidemux for this purpose. There are several tutorials with settings for Avidemux. I have tried lots of them but I am receiving files which cannot be played with hardware decoding. I have experimented with different settings and encoders. MPEG-4 AVC should be the right one (H.264) but I receive only unplayable files. MPEG-4 ASP (avcodec) is giving playable output, but quality is poor. When I try to rise bitrate I receive big files with rather medium quality. I have tried also some custom scripts, settings for IPhone, for Playstation Portable and nothing.
Nowadays I am encoding video with Avidemux (+ filters like contrast, size, crop,
adding hard subtitles etc.) and then I am doing second conversion with Handbrake (IPhone & IPod Touch settings). This way I have video which is playable but I have do encode it twice. Far from optimal.
Does anyone knows which settings should be used in Avidemux to get mp4 playable on Andriod phone?
