I would be really, really greatfull if anybody could point me in the direction of any video/audio encoder software for a pc that I will convert a DVD to MP4 that will play on the HD2 with out BLOODY LIP SYNC issues??? (I don’t mind paying for it if it works)
I am beginning to wonder if it is possible to play any MP4 material on the HD2 with out the video/audio sync being out.
I used to own a HD1 and used protection’s great free app for this and the results were very good. Video was a little bit jerky but the lip sync was spot on
The audio is about a second behind when I play those files on the HD2???????, (When playing them on a PC sync is also spot on, so the video is not artificially delayed for the purposes of being in sync for the HD1)
I have tried Videora HTC Converter; trial version of DVD Catalyst 3, Handbrake, and Mp4ForHD and no matter how I set them up the lip sync is always out???
The main reason I upgraded to a HD2 was because of the large screen and fast processor for playing back video but it is worse that the HD1 due to lip sync. (also the video is still not any where near as smooth as the iphone and it has a 1GHz processor!!!!)
I am beginning to get very disappointed in the HD2 and any help would be much appreciated.
(P.S, this is using stock rom and various Cooked roms and the results as the same)
Thanks
Jason
Try this. After encoding there is an ability to synchronisize picture and sound. Most time this toll isn´t needed, because the rips are in high quality. Use the archos7 settings for the rip. And set volume to +2, otherwize it´s much to loud. Brightness has the best results with +6, the sound quality at 7% and the picture at 80%, because more quality let the file grow to more than 1 GB. For Playback use the Leo TCPMP, it´s the best player for these rips.

Cheers for reply Neo XL, will give it a go
I had the same problem, but got good results from: mp4forHD. There is an update/add-on for the HD2 which gives good picture and sound. Easy to use and all the settings are there for you.
Plays back perfectly in the standard HD2 video player.
Search this forum for the link....
this is the answer to your request

I use Handbrake 0.9.4,
Settings : MP4 , i dont use H.264,
Use FFmpeg, bitrate : 1500Kbps for anime, 2000Kbps for movie/songs.
Plays flawlessly on HD2.
converted 1080p, 720p, DVD, Youtube HD Vids, all to mp4 and plays well on HD2. no problem.
Thanks for all the answers, I have tried them all and I find that the lip sync is still out?
On mp4forHD, I used the HD2 profile and the sync was still way out.
I found that Handbrake 0.9.4, was the best using MP4, instead of H.264 but it is still not perfect.
I am playing the material using both WMP and HTC player. What I am doing wrong?
The HD2 is a bit if a disappointment to me in the video play back department considering its spec it promised so much.
I already used protections Video encoding GUI for my HD1 and don’t recall any lip sync issues on that device.
hi all,
3/4 of synchronization problems come from encoding when it is done with a variable rate codec VBR, for greater compatibility, it is recommended to use a fixed rate compression call CBR when encoding audio
Ok, but what I don’t understand is why files that are perfectly in sync when played on a pc and on the HD1 are out of sync when played on the HD2???
It’s as if the only way to get them in sync is to artificially delay the video when encoding...
I could sort of understand it more if it was the other way round as video generally takes longer to process than audio, but why should the audio be around 0.5 to 1 second delayed??? Don’t make sense to me.
Another thing I have noticed is that videos plays a lot smother when using WMP than using the HTC player, which is a shame as the HTC player is nicer to use in my opinion. The disappointing thing is I really didn’t expect any juddering of video on the HD2 after using the HD1 considering that it has a 1ghz processor which is FOUR times fast than the HD1, and I certainly wasn’t expecting this annoying lip sync issue.
People I know with iphones just laugh when I show them the never 100% smooth and, at best, slightly out of sync video performance on the HD2. The only thing they are jealous of is the bigger screen, which rumours say the next iphone will address.
Oh well, I suppose you have to put it down to the HD2’s main handicap, Windows Mobile. Hope version WM7 is better (if we can even use it on our HD2’s) sorry rambling onto a completely new subject now.
Never really had any massive problems with Handbrake. Ripped Top Gun and it was perfectly in sync for the entire movie.
If anyone here thinks the movies aren't desynced, look again. You might have just missed it the first time because the effect is subtle.
CBR, ABR, VBR, 3 different AAC codecs, 2 different MP3 codecs, even tried encoding the video differently. Every single time the sync was perfect on every device, computer, etc EXCEPT THE HD2.
There MUST be a way to fix this-- what's happening is that the audio is delayed slightly. To account for this, I'm currently purposefully encoding the audio at about 1/5 of a second in so that it accounts for the ~200-250ms desync (which is present in every video...including the stock ROM's Transformers movies!). This works but the file can't be played on any other system or computer of course because the file will be off by that 1/5 or 1/4 second.
Tried stock and 4 other ROMs. All exactly the same. I tried not to keep a single setting in common--fresh hard reset, etc. It's always there, and people have been complaining about it. Some people just don't notice 1/5 or 1/4 second delays. XD Or you think it's normal for the mouths to move a bit before the talking can be heard.
Surely a setting? Maybe it's something BSB tweaks can address? Somebody must know _something_, and the whole community would like to know what it is and how to fix our $450-700 de-synced movie players (HD2).
i use imTOO ultimate video converter. converted Spiderman, great quality and great sound. 10/10. file size was about 1.2gb. around the same size of transformers that it came with. but it looks the same

What programs can you use that will create an audio delay?
Hi,
I have found audio sync (amongst other) issues with all the free products noted on XDA that i've tried. Another issue I also noticed was the complicated configuration recommendations from people. Whilst helpful, it was fruitless as all the output was still desynced (and some products couldn't even output 800x480). I downloaded a demo of SPB Mobile DVD and with a couple of clicks I can convert stored video files and DVD's with perfect sync to quality 800x480 xvid or WMV ro watch on either media player or the HTC player. I also found that the DivX Player provides options for audio sync so if you want to use one of the free products which doesn't sync you can align the audio when you watch it on your HD2.

Sorry, but it's not a software issue at all. The only way "SPB Mobile DVD" or any other conversion program can produce files which play without the audio delay is if these programs ruin the video by delaying in the opposite direction. Yes, there are programs that you can use to introduce a negative delay--ffdshow will do it if you can get directshow to use it. Avisynth has a delayaudio(float) function which accepts negative values.
But none of these workarounds solves the problem of why all audio is delayed on the HD2. Not just videos--Games, etc all have the problem. Coreplayer is a software decoder you can use to set a manual delay decoder-side... but this means you can't use the powersaving video acceleration of the device, and the files don't play back properly (skipped frames, reduced colors, no HE-AAC support, aliasing).
I have tried just about every bit software and settings on this forum and I am unable to get any decent quality in sync results.
Thought I would try SPB Mobile DVD, don’t what I am doing wrong, but I can’t seem to get it to convert from a DVD. It gets al the way to the last screen then just “freezes” and doesn’t start converting. Have tried with a number of DVD’s.
It starts converting ok when I pick a single file to convert, (it for some reason will only let you select one file and not multiple DVD files from this option??) but I don’t want to do that, I want to convert a DVD.
Any Ideas?????
That confirms it. This is not a software issue. The HD2 has an audio/video bug that HTC needs to fix: a 250ms audio delay.

Sorry curiousGeorge what confirms it?
I too believe that the HD2 is at fault here as everything I encode via about 15 different pieces of software I have tried play back with perfect sync on the PC and out of sync on the HD2
THIS REALLY IS DRIVING ME NUTS!!!!!!
The only saving hope I have of the HD2 video play back capabilities is a clip I downloaded from post 14 of this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=628092&page=2
It plays back perfectly in sync and perfectly smooth and the quality is amazing.
I would just LOVE to know how this was encoded and if it is possible to get anything near this from a DVD.
(I tried the program and settings mentioned on the thread and all I got was a load of MPEG4 files that looked rubbish and were out of sync)
With regard to SPB Mobile DVD, I finally got this to work on my pc but the resulting file does not play back with any sound???!!! So I don’t know if it has sync issues or not. It is also CRAP video quality and juggers all over the place.
I am really getting pi**ed off with this!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
DVD Encode
I've found there is no need to encode Dvds specifically for the hd2. I've downloaded films from the net and copied them straight to the sd card. Played them through coreplayer and they play perfectly. Divx play with great quality.

Because that video was encoded with a audio delayed added. It's a system flaw of the HD2 to play normal in synced video with a slight audio delay. Not really that audible to those who ain't looking for it, but it's there. And unless HTC does something to solve it, posting it in every thread out there isn't gonna change anything but sound irritating.
Do you know how to use the DVD encoding portion of winmenc? That could account for your wrong outputs. Or are the dvds CSS protected? Only non-protected dvds can be decoded direct. If not, you should use an app like DVDShrink to extract and decode those dvds to your pc, then use those source files in winmenc. Those will encode fine.
anyone not satisfied with the volume of ringtones etc., go download the open source mp3 gain from here http://mp3gain.sourceforge.net/index.php . it works great and boosted my ringtones considerably. i used to use total recorder but decided to go in search of an open source solution. while total recorder may boost volume even more, mp3 gain is very suitable....and it's free. it also does batch processing of entire folders and is pretty easy to use. easier than total recorder.
I don't see any .apk formats.

because it's for your pc. sorry,i should have specified. just figured people would figure it out. you have to copy ringtones etc. from sdcard to a folder on your pc. drag that folder into mp3gain. set the "target normal volume" to 105(max) then select track gain.
Yeah, I realized it when I seen executable files. I thought you may have knew something I didn't.

I remember a news report a year and a half ago or something like that about a law passed in europe that the mp3 manufacturers were required to lower volume on the headphones because of the increasing amount of young people with hearing loss.
Just use media monkey on your pc to volume level all your ringtones before you transfer them to your phone or card.
Hi everyone, this is my another attempt to learn programming for Android by coding.
ASR - Sound recorder
Sound recorder without limitations!
ASR - Sound Recorder is one of the few apps on the Google Play that records directly to the MP3 format.
It is FREE and without any limitations on recording time!
Below permissions required:
WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE to save recordings.
WRITE_SETTINGS to set recording as ring tone.
looks quite nice. however the icon is very non-ics-like
Thanks, do you mean like the Android Design guide?
My artistic skills are crap at best I've tried many icons but couldn't get better than this
kinda quick & dirty PS job. if you like it I'll send you the .ps
i also tried making a nice mic but those are kinda complicated
looks good, could you attach psd as zip? or upload some where?

any eta on the icon?
btw, what does it need network connection for?
two requests:
- make the low/high quality checkbox a dropdown where one can choose from a set of bitrates (32,64,96,128) or at least add in the description what the bitrate will be.
- native playback without requiring another app. I have the recordings in a folder with a .nomedia file so they don't show up in my media player while listening to music. but that prevents the media player from playing them. I don't want to install another player just to listen to a note every now and then. a very very very simple player (compare hi-q mp3 recorder) would be great.
Looks good! Will install and test it out.

I didn't include bitrate settings too kep it simple but planning to add if it pics up. I am quite happy so far. It has 3000 downloads so far.
I will start working on internal player. Thanks
well there's only a few different icons that make sense for a recording app so it's natural that icons are gonna look more or less the same for all of them. there's at least 50 different (or not so different) microphone icons. so i don't see any problem using any icon just because of similarities, especially not if the icon is original and not a copy.
after test:
-64kbps is not good enough
-it didn`t work 2 times out of 5, file size 0
but it has perspective, hope you will improve it

Not sure if you had a different record button design then, but I am loving this brushed aluminium button in your latest version.
I'm using ASR mp3 recorder the past 2-3 weeks, but I have a serious issue(because affect phone's functionality too). If I use it to record something, the first recording is ok, but from the second time the sound volume lows down a lot. And this doesn' t happen only for the app' s recording file, but for all sounds of phone, and needed to reboot the device to returned to normal sound volume.
Any ideas why this happens, and hopefully a fix?

the psd i provided was my suggestion for the app icon, not the record button. the apps UI is actually quite nice, just the icon isn't, especially not on ICS/JB

Anyone have a suggestion for a good app to convert audio files from lossless to mp3?
Sent from my SCH-I535 using XDA Free mobile app
The key is to get a good MP3 encoder. Some of the cheap/free ones make mistakes during the encoding process, resulting in poor quality. I highly recommend the LAME MP3 encoder engine, shown here: http://lame.sourceforge.net/
Of course, that's just the engine... you'll need a program to perform the work "around" the engine... their link to "software which uses LAME" is a good place to start: http://lame.sourceforge.net/links.php I have used various programs at various times in the past, so I can't point you to a specific program, but I am sure any of these can work well, since the engine is great.
Hi! I need to start a voice chat with someone else over android, but the audio I'm sending them is all under 250hz. Audio chat applications such as Google Hangouts and Skype all filter out these frequencies to increase audio clarity and reduce space, however it is crucial that the other person is able to hear very low frequencies clearly on their device.
Is there any app I can use for this?
What is the purpose for this? I always ended up using easy voice recorder on the highest quality and then emailing the files. I don't know if there is such an app. If you are looking for one such app. Search for something with only voice. Most popular clients with video will have compressed streams I would assume.
What about the ventrillo or teamspeak clients for android. Give them a go.
