i am having problems with converting my file's with my DVD to PDA converter!!
once it's been done my window media player on my qtek9100 (mda vario/xda mini s) wont play the movie file???
does any one know the best format to convert to???
or know any settings the files should be in??
please help!!!!
the problem is media player only plays wmv and mpeg if i remember. most dvd rips are in avi format. if you still want to continue using wmp then you need the codecs
but, to make your life easier i would recommend that you use tcmp or coreplayer. it's an app that can play virtually all kinds of video files
Cheers!!!!!!!!!:
Give this a shot.... and yes, use CorePlayer.....
http://www.spbsoftwarehouse.com/products/mobiledvd/?en
Features:
Fastest possible conversion speed
Adjustable quality with real-time preview
No additional software needed on Pocket PC
DVD and video file sources
Conversion to both WMV and XVID formats
Possibility to convert entire movie or only some part
Dual core CPU support
Support for slow 200MHz Pocket PC devices
qVGA, VGA and square screen support
too bad you have to pay for that....
have you tried this
XVID4PSP but it also can:
import formats:
AVI DIVX ASF MPG MPE M2V MPEG VOB TS M2P D2V MOV QT 3GP HDMOV RM RAM RMVB RPX SMI SMIL MKV OGM WMV DVR-MS PMP FLV.
export formats:
PMP AVC, MP4 PSP AVC, MP4 PSP ASP, MP4 iPod, MP4 iPod 640, MP4 iPod Touch, MP4 iPhone, MP4 PS3, MP4 Xbox 360, MP4, AVI, AVI DV PAL, AVI DV NTSC, AVI Hardware, MPEG-2 PAL, MPEG-2 NTSC, MPEG2-TS, MPEG2-PS, FLV, MKV.
there are MANY MANY tweaks that can be done to help video play more smoothly. I use this to convert to .avi & wmv for my 8525 to play with tcmp.
also did I mention this is FREE....but donations are welcomed.
it also has output for:
Blackberry 8100, 8300, 8330
Toshiba G900
Sony Ericsson K610, K800
Motorola K1
Nokia 5700
I use the output option for "MP4 Blackberry 8830" which has the same screen res as mine...
also if you need DVD back-up software here is DVDFab HD Decrypter 4.1.2.0.
It allows you to only rip the main movie if so desired and dis-regard extra languages.
hhhhhhhhmmmmm...yeah........also FREEEEE.
I use DVD Decrypter and AutoGK to convert movies for playback with coreplayer....made a small tutorial HERE on doing it....the numbers I use are fine for 320x240 (QVGA) devices, probably best to double the filesizes and resolution for a 640x480 (VGA) device.
The movies are generally 2 pass XVid encoded with 128 VBR MP3 sound. Work fine on both software and hardware accelerated playback on the Hermes.
nice guide by the way....but since DVD decryptor is no longer supported it can not bypass the newer DVD encryption....so you'll constantly receive the error messages "Cylinder redundancy error"
Thats why you'll have to download and install the DVDfad HD decryptor from my post above which will bypass all dvd encryption on standard DVD's as well as HD and Blu-ray....to make a back-up of your legally bought DVD's of-course.
Also by default DVD Decryptor creates 1gb files when ripping the movie. You can go into , 'Tools', 'Settings' and on the ''IFO MODE" & "ISO MODE" tabs you will need to set "file Splitting" to "none". This way it creates a single 4gb+ .vob file which is the entire movie. Then import that into Xvid4PSP.
Xvid also allows you to import the multiple 1gb files and auto joins them to create 1 file just as in your guide also....
If original movie is larger that 4.74gb....Xvid4PSP also has "DVD shrink" incorporated into it which allows you to compress a movie to fit standard dvd.
hope this helps...
What is a typical size of a ripped movie with normal settings? I want to know what size memory card to get for this. cheers!
Does anyone know what are video optimal encoding settings for Vox. I was using nokia n73 before vox and I thought they had same speed processors but mp4 files which had h264 video codec are played jirkey on Vox. I am using coreplayer. Does anyone know how much FPS with how much bitrate is optimal for Vox. On N73 I was ripping in H264 video codec, level 1.1 profile, FPS converted to 15, bitrate from 325 to 382kbps. With AAC-LC 96kbps.
When this file is played on vox playback is not smooth.
Anyone optimized settings.?
Well, what player did you use?
I tried to play it on TCPMP but it was not supported so I palyed it on CorePlayer. H264 playback was jerky but xvid was working fine.
In symbian that is N73 there was whole topic of video converstion guide that which bitrate is best at which codec. I think no here has done any such thing. Do you have any idea how to check what Vox processor can support? How to check other than hit and trial.
CorePlay should have a utility that can benchmark and you can calculate out of those numbers what playback settings should be the best.
I would use XViD, since you're encoding them yourself. Move the audio off of AAC as well, use MP3. MP4 and H264 are heavy containers and will require more processing. Vox has a iddy biddy TI OMAP850 @ 201MHz proc that barely cuts it.

Well, yes AVC codecs require much more porcessing power that ASP. Any idea about Xvid or Divx compatible encoding settings.??
Ok. I am settled with 25 FPS, Xvid, with 400kbps and mp3 41khz with 128kpbs. I still get 127% on benchmarking but i think these are good setting for smooth playback and good quality video.
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!

Very nice, thanks!
Hi all, I've got a Flyer 10.1 which has been upgraded to 3.2 Honeycomb. What is the best format to convert a movie to, is it MPEG or MP4? any help would be much appreciated!
Basically you are referring to the same format since .mpeg is MPEG-1 and .mp4 is MPEG-4. These are just different versions.
I think there isn't much of difference in which one you use.
Put any format, like mikpel said over me
But for watching the movies try to use the MX player... for the PRO version, just google it
If you get some lags on the video, switch to S/W and its gonna work better but just if the video gets lagy
There is a difference as an mp4 can be in various codecs such as h264 or xvid whereas a standard mpeg video cannot.
Most common mp4 formats use xvid or h264 video codec with mp3 or aac audio.
Flyer supports mp4 in h263, h264, divx and xvid codecs with mp3 aac or wma audio.
Best for quality yet smaller filesize is h264 video with aac audio but an xvid avi mp4 with mp3 audio can be played on pretty much any thing and is similar in quality though produces slightly larger filesizes.
