For people having problems to download this file: Try another browser instead of Internet Explorer.
I could download it with Firefox, but when I tried to download it at a friends place with IE, it failed.
So I tried it at home with IE, also problems.
Tried it again with Firefox: No problem

have no problem downloading it with IE7..
you should ditch firefox. its the most sucky browser there is.. go check Opera if you insist on having a better browser as this is the only one better then IE7.

I hope you're joking! IE7 is terrible. Firefox is vastly superior and can be customised nicely! Opera is great on the PC (Not a huge fan of it on the PPC though); If you want speed, Safari is what you need!
Regarding the Dixv player, there is a slightly newer version available HERE

I just tried this out and was very surprised to note that it played a full size 700 mb movie as well as Coreplayer with "QTV Display". I was only expecting it to be as good as "directdraw" on coreplayer, slow and jittery.
Has anyone tried this program with the TV Out cable? I wonder if it would still have the blue flicker reported when using Coreplayer and TV Out.

Great, I hope it works. Based on the reviews on Coreplayer and it's TV Out, I'd kind of lost hope on video performance for this phone.

I installed it and got a message that it is outdated and go to mobile.divx.com to get the updated player. The problem is that it requires a login and gives no option to "join". How can I get the updated player??

Try the latest one HERE

I have a TV-out cable, and I can confirm that the Divx player doesn't have any blue flicker like Coreplayer.

i dl'd the file and it said i installed the wrong file even though i installed the right cab file.

Thanks Guys,
I think the link should have been Here instead.
How long does it run for before it expires?
Cheers,

Awesome. Can someone confirm the video quality over TV Out with this program? The two questions I have specifically are the following: Does the processor slow down any further when exporting via tv out - or does the tv out hardware take over? Also - when exporting to a widescreen tv, does the image stretch to the right aspect ratio, or does it only get wide making the image look fat?

Sorry P0ll0L0c0 unable to confirm TV Out performance as I don't have a cable, I can confirm that the app's not bad, it does however reset your backlight settings to 5 mins on battery and 10 mins on power but forgets to return them to original settings on exit.
Other than that, good work.
D.

got my pro and the tv-out cable today.
from what i can say is that the divx player sucks big time
coreplayer is the one to go for. but yes, i also have that blue flickering when using qtv. any fix for it already? still using the o2 stock rom if that matters.

I guess it must depend on the file. I've got a 700 mb copy of Hellboy that plays just as good on the divx player when compared to coreplayer using qtv. Since qtv doesn't work with tv out due to the blue flicker, the divx player has the advantage in my opinion.
I'm now tempted to buy a tv out cable to see how good output will be - but I think they're overpriced right now.

The Divx player stutters with every avi file I've tried on my device. Core player on QTV setting is by far the best (although you get the blue flicker on TV-Out). It's not too bad on the Direct Draw setting when using TV-Out, watchable.
Hopefully the next release of Core Player will solve this issue.

Guys I just chimed in on this thread. I just got my 8gig card and now I want to try out a movie on my phone. I have the latest version of TCPMP installed on my phone. Should I go with the Coreplayer you guys have been talking about on this thread? Also I don't understand what you guys were talking about in using the tv out input etc... I am switching from a Palm Treo to the Pro and I am trying to use this phone for all it's worth. Please help me. Thanks!!!!

seems like u can either use coreplayer or the divx player on our devices. There is just a conflict weather it works with our phones TV/out. (Our phones can output video to a TV with a special cable)
im interested in this. Installing the divx player now to test some 700mb movies.

Movie Help

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.

What is the best and easiest video converter?

I downloaded the beta of rockplayer and the video looks good, but the evo can't seem to handle 1.5gb mp4 file too good. I probably need to take it down a notch.

Handbrake.

I second that. You can just select the iphone preset and change the resolution on the longest side to what you want, just make sure to check "keep aspect ratio".

Maybe you can help me with this, but I installed handbreak on my Macbook Pro, and for some reason i don't get any audio when i try convert my EVO videos to another format, that will work with Imovie, and also formats that don't necessarily work with Imovie. I still get no sound. any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks .

Several Question about Windows Phone 7 OS

Well, i bought my HD7 a month ago and still loving it. But while using it, i have found several problems with the OS. I have no idea it is bug or not.
- I have the Zune Application (run on Windows 7 Professional x64) convert and sync a video that i have alread added a subtitile to it. But i don't see any subtitile run when i play the video on my HD7
- About the Image Quality when syncing to the device, kind of worse than seeing it on computer
- Could we do multi-tasking on WP7?I can't not shut down the IE Mobile Totally.
Sorry if i make any mistake in English

- I don't think WP7 supports subtitles yet. Hopefully it's coming.
- HTC's image quality is considered to be one of the worst, and the HD7 shares this problem.
- There is no multitasking yet. The only way to 'close IE completely' is to close all of the open tabs.

like i have a "1280x960" image, sync to my HTC HD7, and the image on the phone look like "600x400" or some crap like that...

ohh the sub thing...
see...my guess is you soft subbed it. You have to hard encode your subs, and they will show up quite nicely. Thing is if you have a subtitle file, you can use any video converter to convert using xbox 360 settings.
However, what I've done with lots of success is
-I have a mkv (like psg episode).
-I convert using anything to psp converter to resize the image and convert it to mp4.
-pull the subtitle track
-hard encode sub

How to hard encode the sub? Do you have any suggestion about which software i should use?
I have a video clip, that have already been added sub before, and i don't see any sub on my HD7 too. And Are there any way to extract this sub and hard encode it again?

There is a setting in the Sync Settings in Zune that allows you to specify whether you want your pictures to be resized when they are synced to your phone. I believe the default is to resize to fit the phone's screen, but you can override that and ask it to retain the original picture resolution. Although you are probably better off leaving it as reducing the pic size saves a lot of space on your phone.

Im not pretty sure, but i would say u can use mkvtoolnix for everything regarding mkv files.
I really was into x264/mkv-encoding 2-3 years ago, but kinda cant remember everything.
But mkvtoolnix always was best way to go!

Or the screen cannot handle the high resolution image?

Cool features that actually work

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

Reg Media Streaming to phone

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
