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?

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

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 tried RockPlayer Lite and some other players in the market but none work.
Please help.

Try doubletwist. Plays mp4

It's not really just a question of what player - it's a question of what 1080p mp4 files too. Tegra 2 is extremely limited in what it will play back in a 1080p mp4 so how the mp4 is encoded matters as well. I think I read somewhere that it's baseline profile only...and that's with hardware acceleration. Software only, I'm guessing that no file of that size will play - it's too many pixels to push around.
And Rockplayer is my mp4 player of choice (to the extent I actually registered for it to get rid of the ads and the R). In hardware mode, it doesn't bat an eye at my 720p mp4s in main profile.

x2. If the 1080p video is encoded the right way, even the vanilla player will play it.
I've been using h263 1080p / 720p MP4's and they work well. Even some MKV's will work with the vanilla player, if encoded a certain way.

Any luck getting h264 1080p to play? Any specific software you recommend to convert files to appropriate encoding?
I've had success in the past doing it and watching 1080p .mov movie trailers but haven't done so since I've upgraded to TnTLite 5.0. I would recommend Handbrake for encoding and then playing with it. From using Mediainfo on them, I think they were Level 4.1 main profile with 2 reference frames, no Cabac.
I found this on fudzilla from google (I can provide a link if needed)
First of them is H.264 with sub standards Baseline Profile (B frames) — 1080p/20Mbps, Main Profile (B Frames, CAVLC) — 1080p, Main Profile (B Frames, CABAC, no weighted prediction) — 720p/6Mbps and High Profile (B Frames, CABAC, no weighted prediction).
Tegra 2 also supports High Profile (B Frames, CABAC, no weighted prediction), MPEG-4 (Simple, B frames and ASP Profiles) — 1080p/8Mbps, H.263 (Profile 0) — 720×576/4Mbps, DiVX (DiVX 4/5) — 1080p/8Mbps, XviD (XviD Home Theater) — 1080p/8Mbps, MPEG-2 (Main Profile @ Main Level) — 720×576/10Mbps, VP6 (simple and advanced profile) — 720p30/2Mbps, Sorenson (simple and advanced profile) — 720×576/4Mbps, JPEG up to 80 Mpixel per second.

Caveat - 1080p encoding is slow and the files are big. Unless you are doing 1080p encoding for some other purpose, I wouldn't do it just to play on the G-Tab. It really seems to be stretching the limits of the technology. I prefer to do a really good quality 720p encode instead. They look equally good on the G-Tab at a smaller file size - and on a 60" plasma I still can't tell that they're worse. I had floated my encode parameters for handbrake somewhere back in this section.
vitalplayer, vanilla player? What is better, what supports more formats and it is more convenient?

The only luck I've had with hardware accelerated video (the high-def stuff) is Rockplayer or vanilla player. Don't like the lack of file browsing you get with the vanilla player. You can get around that by using a file explorer to open your videos instead of the gallery.
I have a couple of mkvs that Rockplayer won't play (SD ones at that), so maybe an experiment is in order!
Hi there,
I'm struggling with this for a dozen days now, maybe you can help: I need a lossless video codec to be able to drive an LED display of 64x192px in size. Has to run on a Hardkernel Odroid XU3 with Android 4.4.4, willing to use Android 5 if I find an OS image.
So far I tried h264 lossless, VP9 lossless and also using maximum quality but lossless, but none of them worked. Android didn't want to load the file or the quality wasn't appropriate.
Whatever codec I use, android only likes the yuv420 pixel format, causing our videos to look blurry.
I'd love to have a codec that just accepts a PNG file list or something else, RGB run length encoding would be a good candiate, like Apples RGB format.
Is there any codec that I overlooked that is capable of doing this?
Best,
Lyve
Hello!
I have a Q10 Pro Android Player connected to a FHD TV and would like to use MX Player only for SD video playback. These are most often 720X576 resolution interlaced videos with 25fps (that is actually 50fps due the deinterlace). Variously coded in MPEG, xVid or x.264 codecs.
I can see some options in MX Player that could probably impact the Picture Quality of the playback, like the options to choose from HW, HW+ and SW decoders, then choose 3 different kind of Deinterlace method, an also 3 option regarding the colorspace.
Regardless if it would be working fine on my Box or not, what would be the theoretically best setting for each upper option to get the best possible Picture Quality with these kind of videos?
Thanks!
No one?
