Even tcpmp is just a beta from coreplayer, I have the feeling it is working more reliable and faster. Does anyone can suggest the best settings for the TG01 to play (normal and 720p) movies?
Haven't found that on google
thees apply for both coreplayer and tcmp
use DirectDraw when possible
recommended settings
go to select page then DirectDraw:
uncheck Overlay with colorkey
uncheck Use blitting instead of overlay
check Use device stretching for blitting.
Overlay: YUY2
works fine for me

I can't find anything that does this on the software that's included with Mio.
Can anyone help me on this one?
ROM R55
The 'Pictures' app included with Windows Mobile PDA/phones should be able to rotate and save pictures - look closely at the buttons on the bottom row when a picture is open.
As for videos, I'm a bit confused! Do you mean you want to temporarily rotate your videos so that you can view them on landscape on your PDA? Then use TCPMP (Google it), a great freeware media player that plays Divx/XviD, WMV, etc etc...
If you mean actually changing say, a 320x240 video to a 240x320 one (permanent rotation), then I dunno!

Ah, thank you!
Now I saw it. You will have to View the picture, and then press EDIT. I don't know why this is not available on the thumbnail mode...
Thanks!
About the movie, I've heard about tcpmp, but what I want is to change from 320x240 to 240x320.
Thanks for the info!
Anyone else knows how to accomplish this?
That would take actually re-encoding (I think) which even for a 100MB movie would be a bit too much work for a PPC device.
Such app might exist any way but I don't know any.
Try a desktop app called Virtual Dub. It's free and lets you manipulate just about any format in any way (size, orientation, encoding etc.).
TCPMP can of course rotate to landscape easily.
If you want to reformat the source video itself, as Levenum says, use Virtual Dub and apply a filter to rotate. It doesn't take too long, but is a lossy process because you have to re-encode.
This is definitely not something for the PDA, PC only.
If you're recompressing or reformatting for PDAs, I highly recommend SmartMovie, http://www.lonelycatgames.com/index.php?note=smartmovie&chapter=smartmovie
or Lathe/PocketDivXEncoder

Humm..
The thing is I can't play 3gp taken by MIO on Nokia phones. I assume that it can be due to "size", but I don't know.
Thanks for all the input!
Well I don't have a clue how MIO's camera apps work, as I only have a HTC Magician, but try and check that your camera is indeed recording apps to standard 3gp - meaning it uses the H.263/H.264 (i forgot which) or MPEG-4 codec.
Also, as far as I know, only the most recent 'N' series of Nokias and some other high-end Nokias use 320x240 resolution screens. For Series40 Nokias (eg. 6230), the screen resolution usually sits at 128x128, with optimal support for 128x96 videos. Series60 (eg. 6600) usually have 176x200 screens, meaning that 176x144 is best for them. If your MIO has any resemblance to my Magician, its camera app should have options for you to take video at these lower resolutions.
As for resizing existing video, yes VirtualDub is the best, but it won't support 3GP (from my experience the MOD version will only do AVIs and MPEG-1 and MPEG-2 reliably). You could try ImTOO MPEG Converter (Google it), which while of dubious coding quality will convert many files to many other files. A free and perhaps better option is SUPER, though be wary as it will spit out some out of sync files on some formats (but theres so bloody many formats supported that it's hard to list them)!

That's it. Thank you very much!!
I recorded in H.263_AMR 240x320, and since it was sent to a 6630 it wouldn't play it...
I will record and send in 144x176 and try it!
BTW, why does the quality suck on Mio video capture?
Look at these 2 clips and a bit of a picture.
Sorry bout the long reply, been quite busy recently with work!
Anyway, video capture isnt a particularly strong point with Pocket PCs and phones in general... their processors cant capture full 25fps video at high quality - remember thats like taking 25 photos a second! My Magician wont do nice smooth video even at 176x144, and I daresay that the Mio range fares worse since most of them use the slower Windows Mobile 5. Thats just something that no one seems to be able to fix, unfortunately .
However CoolCamera apparently will work better with the camera than the default camera apps... however I don't think its compatible with the Mio. Even if it does, you'll have to pay for it :roll:. Also note that it can only record to AVI - Motion JPEG codec, so it wont play back on Nokias.
EDIT: Not sure if this is the same case with Mios, but on my Magician, formatting the storage card to FAT16 makes a huge difference to read/write times! Try that to speed up your video to storage card!
Hi, for those who have CorePlayer 1.2.5 on their omnia (or on a device with WQVGA), and are tired of hitting play with the nail because of the buttons size, I've setup a new skin for this player... my first skin! (not only for CorePlayer, but the very first one in my life)
It's not as ugly as it seemes and I found it easier to use the player
You can download the skin from Here:http://www.sendspace.com/file/w5i9ij
- IMPORTANT: Disable the Media Library for the skin doesn't support it. You can only use Playlists with this skin.
- Download the file and make sure its names skin.cps (if sendspace appends .zip at the end remove it from, the name)
- Copy skin.cps to the CorePlayer directory on your Omnia.
To remove the skin delete or rename skin.cps and it'll revert to the default skin.
TIPS:
- The "off" button on the skin, will force a Blank Screen on the device. If you have (as I do) S2U2 set to activate on blank screen it will also lock the device.
- For those having trouble with CorePlayer and screen rotation, switch the Driver used by CoreCodec to the XScale version instead of DirectDraw.
Menu -> Tools -> Preferences -> Select PAge -> Video
Select Intel XScale on Video Putput
When using Coreplayer 1.3.2 before I could switch into landscape-full view autiomatically.
However now it seems to have broken.
I only get playback in portrait even when tiliting.
Other apps work w Accelerometer (like Opera)
I been trying out all kinds of settings on Coreplayer but can't find any to make it fullscreen in landscape. (Zoom, pixelratio etc)
Saw the thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/archive/index.php/t-527214.html
but no tips there helped me.
No Manilaedits or CustomROM.
Nothing on Coreplayer support either.
I'm at a bit of a loss here, any ideas?
For the best video images on HD2 with CorePlayer v1.3.6 just go to : Menu/Tools/Settings/Select Page/Video and set :
1-Video output to GDI
2-Smooth Zoom to ON
And gets the best images as posible on HD2 with CorePlayer
Please confirm if i am right .
Best Regards 2010 !!!
GDI doesn't work in full screen on my HD2 (showing a black screen). I get better results with DirectDraw

Agree directdraw,clearer!
video-test
If you set Direct Draw , some ugly lines appear when play very fast movie
example : (when taking pictures in the movie) .
If the setting GDI in full screen is black, set Coreplayer to default or recompile video in 800/480 MP4 format .
Recommended for test : video-test.mp4
Hi,
I red that release 1.3.6 doesn't not support .flv (previous versions were OK with taht format ...)
May you confirm ?
i prefer to set smooth zoom to off and have direct draw. smooth zoom kind of blurrs the picture, i prefer it sharp.
What's the effect of "-Smooth Zoom to ON"?
Smooth Zoom set to ON or OFF
If you want to play (Smoth Zoom ON , Video output GDI) for the birds.mp4 you'll see I'm right.
Play for the birds.mp4 with Smooth Zoom set to OFF - see differences .
CorePlayer v.1.3.6 play 100% .flv file .
I also Tick "Dither" - it reduces gradients caused by the compression.
Finaly best settings for CorePlayer v1.3.6
1-Video output = GDI
2-Video quality = High
3-Smooth Zoom = ON
4-Dither = ON
Best Regards .

I must still be a noob!
I've spent half an hour searching through Coreplayer for Menu/Tools/Settings/Select Page/Video without success.
I'm using the newest version, purchased through Handango on February 14th.
Under Menu/tools i have the following choices:
Equalizer, colors, hotkeys, benchmark,preferences, about.
The only logical choice there takes me to a screen with 10 tick choices like 'play music in background' plus 3 x % boxes like playing speed.
Nada choices for 'Settings/Select Page/Video and set :
1-Video output to GDI
2-Smooth Zoom to ON'
Can anyone help with more specific instructions please as my videos are blank but with sound. MPG, AVI ,and FLV - all the same - blank
cheers
emsee
Menu\Tools\Preferences - Then click 'Select Page' on the bottom left and 'Video'
HTH.

Did I miss something here.
Most people said direct draw and mixed thoughts on smooth zoom
Is this YOUR personal conclusion?
I don't use CorePlayer; but if it works the same way as TCPMP then there will be a DirectDraw settings page somewhere where you can choose DirectDraw overlay format, etc.
The best settings for TCPMP (in my opinion) are:
Smooth zoom on/always (i.e. not the 50% option)
Dither on
Renderer: DirectDraw
Overlay format: YUY2
"Use device stretching when blitting" set to on
"Overlay with colorkey" set to off
"Use blitting instead of overlay" set to off.
Zoom: best fit
Orientation: left-handed
I would definitely try these in CorePlayer - but don't use DirectDraw as a renderer unless you have set the DirectDraw settings correctly.
You may need to use GDI instead of DirectDraw if you want subtitles.
I have a green blur with DirectDraw setting.
GDI work well for me: 220% on benchmark for non converted DVDRip (.avi)
yes, its true.
coreplayer with directdraw and hd2 gives you green or blue (like blue, but with pink inside screen.
where do ur download coreplayer? any link to share??

Which part of "don't use DirectDraw as a renderer unless you have set the DirectDraw settings correctly" did you not understand? I'll say it again: you need to use the CORRECT DirectDraw settings. If you use the wrong DirectDraw settings then it doesn't work very well. You need to set overlay format to YUY2, uncheck "overlay with colorkey", uncheck "use blitting instead of overlays", tick "use device stretching when blitting".
I had an HTC Aria before my Captivate, and noticed a difference in the YouTube app. On my Aria there was a setting to enable High Quality mode by default. Every movie I watched was in HQ mode. On the Captivate I cannot find that option. I have to start the movie, pause the movie, and press Menu > More > View in HQ. At least in the Aria version there was a toggle for HQ/LQ in the seek bar to the right.
Does anyone know if there is an option I am missing, or a way to install a version that would have this option?
i would check out this thread:

i took the youtube app from that one and it works great
