Hi all,
been having trouble viewing video on my touch HD. initially had tried viewing them in WMP but they wouldn’t play most of the videos (avi’s + Mpgs) .
installed MP4forHD v2.5 and converted the videos, at this point they then caused phone to crash when opening the video's in WMP.
Then installed core player and this will play the converted MP4's, well to an extent, it plays the audio but no picture.
Any thoughts, or ideas of other applications to try?
Cheers in advance
htc album may help
thanks for that. also just downloaded HTC touch HD video convertor too.
Sorry all, should have read all the stickies first.

To play in CorePlayer, encode AVC MP4 and size to 320 X 240, 500 kbps to 700 kbps
To play in WMP or HTC player, encode AVC MP4 800 x 400 size, 500 kbps to 700 kbps
can tp2 playback hd video?
atleast 720p resolution???
it wud b great
since tp2 has dedicated graphics chip
and may be if we can overclock it!!
it wud be really nice to show off to frends its capability
plz reply i will b getting it after few days
thanks so much in advance
I think it's safe to say that it's impossible to play anything at 720p since our device's screen resolution is "only" 800x480 (720p=1280x720). That being said, video at or above our device's native screen res looks absolutely gorgeous (much better than the iphone's 480x320). You'll need to invest in Coreplayer if you want to watch anything though since the built-in player is very limited in the formats it supports.
Check out the last part of this video for some more info on video playback of the TP2.
yes bro i had seen tat review before
it states max 720*480 i guess
neways its still cool though my old UNIversal did tat too very well
was expecting a bit more
neways thanks for the reply
In theory, if a device were powerful enough, it could play back a 720p video and downscale it to the resolution of the TP2 screen on the fly. However, the TP2 doesn't even come close to having that kind of power. (The HD2 might).
CorePlayer will play a much wider range of video formats than the inbuilt video apps, but it's not free (costs $30) and, annoyingly, it's unable to make use of GPU-acceleration on the TP2. The same applies to all video player apps except the built-in ones - they run on the CPU only. This means you are rather restricted in terms of resolutions and bit-rates.
If you want something that will play a wide range of video formats and which doesn't cost any money, try TCPMP - you'll need the version from this post. When installed, choose DirectDraw as your video rendering method, then go into the DirectDraw settings page and tick the box that says "use blitting instead of overlays". TCPMP is significantly slower even than Coreplayer, but it does at least support AC3 audio, which Coreplayer doesn't, and, as I said, it's free.
However, for the best playback quality you should convert your videos into .MP4 format (on your desktop PC) and then play them on your TP2 using HTCAlbum. This is fully hardware-accelerated and can easily handle 800x480 mp4 videos (i.e. the TP2's full screen resolution) with a respectable bit-rate (e.g. 750kb/s). If you go to this thread or this one you will find two different desktop PC applications that are designed to convert videos into the optimum format for playback on a TP2 or Touch HD. The conversion can take quite a while, depending on the speed of your PC, but the results are very good, especially for HD source material.
There is no point in running 720P video on a 3.6", 480 x 800 screen. Properly encoded XVIDs look and run great on the screen and take up a fraction of the space on the memory card.

There is every point: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=4891185&postcount=168
And what were you planning on playing an 800x480 xvid with on the TP2? You certainly can't use Coreplayer or TCPMP.

On a practical level, it's easier for me to batch transcode multiple 720p sources while I'm at work and then load, say, multiple 130MB and 400MB files onto an 8GB memory card that stuffed with mp3's and other videos than to copy just a couple of 2GB-4GB HD movies. I can understand your point about the practicality of having one file to deal with, but that's impractical on other levels simply due to file size.
The OP was referring to watching 720p videos on the TP2 in HD resolutions because the horizontal resolution is 800. It was pointed out that it doesn't work like that.
I've watched 624 X 352 xvid encoded avi's from HD sources and they aren't any less sharp than 800 X 480 transcoded mp4 files.
Some digital cameras like Sony TX1, etc already capture video in 1280x720p mp4 format. So it would be great if TP2 can play these smoothly. That would eliminate the need to re-encode videos that is very time consuming. And I can keep the same file for playback on both the phone as well as on computer and TV. At present, the hardware seems not powerful enough for TP2 to play these without dropping frames. When phones that come with with Nvida ION chips arrive, that would solve the problem. Adobe and NVidia have demonstrated how their chipset can play back full 1280x720p Flash video (H.264) at 30fps.

yeah i agree but its not about space
i mean a small music video which i wud like to share with everyone,etc
Samsung Omnia HD plays back these videos easily though it has a 800mhz proccy and a more powerful graphics chip but still i was eager if its possible!!
it wud surely help to carry some small HD video files than whole movies

Thank you.
My Tilt 2 has trouble playing divx at 624X352 at full screen. My old Tilt can play the same 624X352 divx with no trouble at full screen. Both phones are using the same coreplayer with same settings. It looks like the Tilt 2 has trouble scaling 624X352 to full screen. The video looks pretty smooth on the tilt 2 if I play it portrait. Once I maximize the video to landscape full screen, the video stutters. I lighly doubt that Tilt 2 will able to play anything high def smoothly. I've also tested the same video on my friends BlackjackII. Her phones plays the same video smoothly at full screen. In case anyone wants to know Tilt 2 has 528mhz process while Tilt has 400mhz and BJII has 260mhz.
i searched google and to my astonishment, this TP2 still doesnt have the graphics acceleration?????!!!!!!!!!
holy **** why did i order this handset!!!
feeling like doomed, i was well off with my old faithful universal

That's not surprising, since the Tilt's 640 x 480 screen necessitated letterboxing, so it didn't have to scale the video up. With a 800 x 480 screen, the video has to be upscaled on the fly.
That said, I can play the same xvid files you're talking about smoothly albiet with a dropped frame here and there (sound is perfect). This is with Coreplayer on my Sprint TP2. I have around 120MB of free storage memory -- I know that low storage memory can affect performance.
Why can't HTC just install 1GB of internal storage memory for all of their phones already? At least I have way more storage memory on the TP2 than the Diamond, but then again, I've only had the TP2 for 10 days.

WHEN DID THE TILT/KAISER GET 680*480 screen???
its the plain ugly 320*240 screen
You're correct, I was thinking the tilt was the touch pro since the tilt 2 is the touch pro 2. The tilt is the mogul.
hello need a player who can play hd videos ( coreplayer, tmcpm, windows media, divix mobile etc ) dont work what can i do ? i cant play avis or some other videos on the x1 rom is toutchit v11 leo german please help me!
Let me Google that for you.
X1's hardware can barely play SD videos with acceptable quality/frame rate, let alone HD...
Another thing - the screen is 800x480 and it is not capable for any of the HD resolutions (720p/1080i/p). There are not enough pixels to display HD content. DVD (NTSC) video resolution is 720x480 and that's eventually the best you can get as a resolution off X1.
X1's hardware is capable (of SD), just use the normal WinMo Media Player instead of others which cannot make use of hardware accel.
Use the tool provided by XDA to convert your movies to mp4. Those can be played in high res 800 X 480 with wmp or the media xperience panel.

...i played video with more pixels than screen have...it was about (854*480) in .flv format, played in CorePlayer...i have few videos of that size, some of them plays fine, some of them are played in low frame rate(few per second only)...so its depends on hardware speed, not screen resolution...
armin van buuren-love you more.flv, is 864*480,and it plays very good...video is downloaded from youtube via savevid.com
I've posted links, so you can see...
I use mp4 format and this is this same what HD quality
Can someone help me with videos. The screen of the HTC desire is 480 x 800 so why will files that are only upto 640 x 480 work? Any files that are bigger than this in resolution only play sound.
The type of file is MP4, i.e. android supported video files. I have 2 seasons of family guy that I had on my iPhone at 640 x 480 and all work fine. I also have video files at 480 x 352 and all work fine BUT when I put on some files over 640, i.e 800 x 480 only the sound plays. I have even tried 'random sizing' i.e 680 and 642 and they wont show video just play sound. The device is limited to 640 it appears, why?
I know these files at 640 will play at fullscreen but thats not the point. Any video I have upto 800 should play fine otherwise I have to convert these down to 640 to play on an 800 screen which surely means I'm not getting the best out what whats available?
what I found is that when i used h.264 video codec i also only got sound, but when i changed to mpeg-4 codec videoes at 800x480 played just fine. I used Handbrake to encode.
Sorry to be hijacking the thread, but my question may be somewhat related if you could help me out
I don't actually have the phone yet, but is there a program that would play back (smoothly) normal DIVX/XVID encoded (*.avi) files on the phone? That is, without the need to bother with handbrake or anything on the PC beforehand.

It's not related at all, and there are plenty of other threads discussing DIVX playback; please try using the search feature.

i don't have the phone yet but from what i've red...
the native player doesn't play avi vids but you can try yxflash player
from HTC: "HTC Desire to receive DivX playback support in future update"
you can also use doubletwist program for your pc... it will sinc mp3s and videos (it automatically converts videos while copying to your device)
hope this helps
Hi I was wondering if anybody have any recommendations for a good video converter for the arc s ? I plan on putting a good amount of movies into my arc and I need a good converter. Also, what are the best settings to convert the video to so it can play in full screen mode with good quality ? Thanks
media factory - free
any codec is good for arc..
what resolution should i convert the files to so it can play in full screen mode ?
i was need to say "file factory" my mistake.
minimun is resolution like phone
480 x 854 pixels
