Hi all. I use CloneDVD Mobile. Any idea what miht be the best settings to record movies for my phone. I see no settings anywhere where it shows the resolution being like the one on my screen. Thanks in advance.
I just picked
CloneDVD up my self after reading good reviews.
I am told (not been there yet, but plan too in the next week) if you go to the slysoft forums, they will tell you all the info you need. And they are very nice about it. Keep in mind this is second hand info, but it comes from a reliable source, my Father..
If you find anything out before I can post back later this week, update here please, and we can have this for everyone to who might use CloneDVD.
Cheers
Ok. I used the Sony Playstation 3 16:9 settings. I then set it at 720x480 (NTSC TV). No idea what it means but I just put Avatar on my phone and it looks great. Remember to put the file in your DCIM:100MEDIA Folder as that is where the movies can be played by the HTV video player which is superior to Windows Media Player. Hope this helps.

Thanks. It works great.
As some probably already know some video streams don't work on Desire HD rom ports (this affects all DHD roms ports ), One of them is m.spike.com. We get only audio no video
Here is the log from trying one of the videos
http://pastebin.com/9hK9cDTd
I have tried the most basic and idiotic approach, replacing all called libs with libs from standard Sense Rom. Of course didn't work.
I am not a developer myself, maybe someone with more skills can figure it out

its not just streaming video, mp4 at the native resolution wont work either, so if you record a video at 800x600 you cant watch it back

so its a mp4 decoding issue ?
Someone tried Rockplayer?
I use Leedroid 2.2.f not any HD rom, so I have no experience, it is just an idea.

yep rockplayer works, for all video formats, its a issue with the native android codec or codecs.

libvoVidDec.so
libvomemedia.so
with standard desire lib files but it makes no diffrence obviously i know theres more lib files associated with the video decoders but i just wanted to see wether i could get mp4 or 3gp working

I am using robis hd rom and rock player does not work for me.
The rom i am using is excellent, fast and stable for me(v14b with d2sd) and everything is working great for me apart from the 720p recording and the sound but no video on various streams. I can live without the former but a solution for the latter would make a great rom perfect for me.
Please try to keep this thread going so we can hopefully get some developers involved and hopefully reach a solution.
I am just a noob i'm afraid so can't be much help!!

rockplayer (premium) works fine for me, it uses its own codecs tho not the native android ones
I've always had an issue with rockplayer being out of sync.
I have an MP4 i did of the mrs when she appeared briefly on question time. (about 20 seconds).
always worked fine on stock roms players but rockplayer it's always oos.
Would be great if devs could sort this for HD roms internal player.

Sorry if i am not understanding but, if i install rock player premium, will i be able to use it to automatically watch videos streamed from spb tv and my player?
I amm having problems using these two applications and m.tvcatchup however bbc iplayer mobile streams work as do you tube application streams.

no you cant use rockplayer to strem from websites, flash works fine though i was watching bbc one on bbc iplayer last night.... i miss coreplayer from windows mobile, you could use that and tcpmp as a streaming video players
I've got rockplayer installed but it doesn't show up as an option to view the file when clicking on a streaming video link - i.e you can only watch a video with rockplayer if you open it using the file browser built into rockplayer...

Just got my Omnia 7, but none of my .avi or MPEG-4 files are showing up in Zune, I have selected the folder for the films in settings, but zune says that I have no movies in my collection. I thought it was suppost to convert everything automatic?
PLS HELP!!!!!
In Zune, select Settings (top right) and in the "Software" Section, make sure the folder your video files are saved in appears in the "Videos" section underneath "Monitored Folders" (not "Zune Folders").
It might take a minute or 2 to update in zune depending on the size of your collection.
It doesn't convert your videos until you copy them to your device.
Hope this helps
Thanks for the reply, but I had already done that, not even my mp4s will play in Zune, it keeps moaning about codecs that were used etc, I thought I may have trouble with a few, but not all of em!!! Any other Ideas, I really like this phone / os but not being able to watch movies is a deal breaker.
???? HELLLPPPP!!! LOL
It MUST work. I have my .avi vids in the library. Try drag and drop them in. The vids are just quickly converted when you sync them with the device.
Nope, tried on both my desktop and laptop, they just wont show up in Zune, I have selected the correct folders etc, I know caus I have now re encoded a few to mp4 and they are showing up no problem. This is a real pain having to re encode stuff.

right now im also using Omnia 7, but for converter im using format factory, and I changed it's screen resolution to 720x480 since the phone is 800x480, the framerate is 768, fps 24.
Try downloading this Codec pack:

Thought I'd make a thread for things that do work well on the Sensation and may make people stick to this phone until the other issues are resolved.
DLNA function: I spent a few hours putting my Samsung TV on my network and I can send video, pics and music direct from my phone to my TV via Wifi from anywhere in the house and its very very good. I have a film in AVI and it steamed perfectly.
Forward SMS to email: I think this is in 2.3.3 anyway but useful when phone it unusable like at some work places.
Built in streaming: I can scan music, videos and pics from a file server and play them on the phone directly with no additional software.
Lexar 32 gig MicroSD Class 10: Definitly works fine in this phone. Check Amazon
Built in slideshow as wallpaper: I like having different background images randomly and this is good for that. Point it at a folder full of images (I have a folder full of downloaded landscapes, sea, etc., type images specifcally for this. It replaces the need for things like Wallpaper Rotator. Only snag is that it changes the images every 30 seconds or so so it maybe CPU intensive (doesn't seem to be though). I'd rather it was hourly but can't see anywhere to change it.
Please add others as you find them.
Lockscreen icons and lockscreen animations: I like having weather animations or my photos spinning around under the lock screen, looks cool. Also being able to change the lock screen icons does make that feature quite handy

Make sure you have Wi-Fi turned on
(Also ensure Media Centre on your PC is set to share music, videos etc)
Go to Gallery
At the top where it says ALBUMS, click and select Media Servers
Select your PC
Mine says Media PC: Media
then it will find the catagories of the files it can find, you just chose what you wish to play
It really is that simple!!

If your streaming server is any good it can transcode .mkv on the fly to something the phone can play.
I'll go try it with an MKV file right now...bear with me, wife has the remote
I am using Windows 7 as the media server, btw
No good with MKV. None of the players on my phone will play it natively even though my Samsung TV plays them fine from a hardrive or memory stick. On my phone I have Divxplayer (or demoplayer) and moboplayer and they wont play it on the phone itself, let along anywhere else. Need a player that supports these. I think the Desire used to play MKV with Divxplayer but I don't think it likes the Sensation resolution.
Anyone any ideas?

Thanks! That is simple! Not tried it yet, but presumably it will work with the built-in Windows Media Player server of Windows 7, and also TVersity, just like my PS3 does and can see both.
Could you please advise as to whether HDMI mirroring works, particularly in landscape mode?
Also do you have a Wiimote? The BT stack should support it but I see people asking this question feverishly as though they're concerned... I think it should work, but now everyone's casting doubts in my mind.
PS. You're a lucky bastard lol... I'm dying to get a Sensation!!

wii mote will not work because htc sense messes it up it does it for all sense devices
Rock player supports mkv also try using skifta to stream it via dlna
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
Rockplayer may support MKV but it doesn't like the resolution or something because it drops out as soon as it starts to play. Actually Rockplayer plays MKV fine on my wife's Desire so it must be a resolution issue because as the Sensation is qHD
Hi guys,
Waiting for android on the HP Touchpad, is there someone knows how to play divx (moovies) on that tablet with webos with a free application.
It seems that there only one soft who do that but not free.(around 7€)
Thx for yours advices.
find a video converter and convert to a supported format.
Probably mp4 is supported, don't know really.
A free one was called Format Factory.
as you say there is a paid app that can do avi, divx, xvid etc but nothing for free.
the best advice i can give you is to use the handbrake template in the following link to pretty much guarantee compatibility when converting video files.
http://forums.precentral.net/hp-tou...n-resources/287212-handbrake-preset-dvds.html
also, if you have mkv files, you could use something like gotsent to convert them to mp4 and they should work.
What's the name of the app?
Kalemsoft Media Player...
http://www.kalemsoft.com/site/products-WebOS-KSMPlayer.html
Thanks for that.... other question I have is I have put credit card details into the webos app store and I still can't see any paid apps? help anyone?
nevermind ... seems Australia is failboat on the paid apps...
yeah paid apps doesn't work for australia at the moment.
probably never now.
easier to just convert them.

Here's a really good video converter. It's free just make sure to get the converters suite at the top right.

I actually just installed a new app from homebrew called Touchplayer it is supposed to support all formats, however it is all CPU rendering
perfect... Worked a treat.... Preware is fun too! Really impressed with webOS actually.

it'll be interesting to see how my overclocked TP handles the extra cpu load.
most of my movies aren't HD anyway so there shouldn't be much load.

The preware build seems to have a problem that prevents it to install.
Download the app from precentral.net/touchplayer and then install it by using "Web OS Quick install" App.
It worked for me.
Mine installed but I dont get any sound Tried both .6 and .3 versions above.
Tried .avi and then converted to .mp4 no sound but movie plays. .mp4 plays with the native video player but doesnt scale to the right aspect ratio

Just reboot, app icon should appear in the launcher after that.
maybe i'll try again.
so is it actually a player or just a codec pack?
