hi, i have recorded 3 movie clips with my tytn, i have wm6 installed. i sent this movies to my macbook. now i tried to watch them. no chance, only vlc can play them but without sound. what the hell, why does this codec suck so much? i have tried it in media player, and quicktime in osx. they cant play it. it should be said that quicktime can play mpeg4 files, but what is mp4?
anyone knows what codec i have to install to convert it to another format?
and why ms cant play videos from their own mobile apps?
regards, chief
I have no problems playing mp4 on my PC. I have K-lte codec pack installed but I think ffdshow is the codec being used to play it.
Mp4 should be just seen as a container for the video and audio, like .avi or .mkv. I actually use mp4 to encode my files for my PocketPC and get great quality, the upside is that these files also play on other mobile devices; my girlfriend can play them on her Samsung U600.
You running a MS OS on your Mac?
yes, i have tried it in windows xp, but i have no codec packs installed. i think the problem is, that this is not a normal mp4, the video track is ok, but the audio track is identified as "samr".
wtf is samr?
gg
omg
think the only thing i need is this samr codec for mac. in the apple docs i found the information that quicktime comes with amr support, but i think samr is not amr, so i need this codec, anyone ere who can ell me rom where i can download this?

Change the extension from .mp4 to .3gp and QuickTime will play it perfectly.

Did you try Core Media Player ?
Wich player can play MPEG2 from stream?
Want to watch my streams from the dreambox (wifi), coreplayer cant play this.
interesting subject....
coreplayer & kinoma don't have mpeg-2 codec
vlc player is so old and brakes strongly
tcpmp don't play stream also...
Pocket Player can play from stream. It is primarily an audio player but does a few simple video formats and codecs, even youtube flv. It probably does mpeg2.

PictPocket Cinema too.
Anybody?
great question...anyone found anything yet?
You may try this: http://pockettv.com/
I haven't and don't know whether it works but they claim to support mpeg2.
I couldn't find how to play directly streaming media in FAQ !
Please report results if you try it !
Hello
is there any solution to play mpeg2 stream on HD ?
with coreplayer you can hear sound onl
Older version of TCPMP can play MPEG2
Yes, but it can take MPEG-2 streams.
It's old and does't support WM 6.5. Anyone pwiseeeee?
Even if it does the speed of the wifi is slow and you will have to wait to cache it... So copy paste it and play it from storage... or convert it to mp4 first.

I miss watching anime on the go. I am trying to get away from having to convert my videos to the psp. I was hoping there would be some way to do it on my EVO. The videos are MKV with subs.
I have tried
Stock - Does not play
RockPlayer - MKV plays but no subs
Mplayer - Does not play
YxPlayer- MKV players but no subs (and stupid advertisement in the middle of the video)
-------------------------
Anyone know any apps that play MKV with subs? Also if I were to convert with handbrake, what settings should I use to make it look good and have subs?
I know vplayer supports mkv, no idea about subs. Also, it's very much an alpha release.
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
thanks for the suggestion but Vplayer does mkvs fine but no subs.
Any other suggestions?
rockplayer's site says it has subtitle support but to what end i'm not sure, i would love to check for you but all my anime's subs are hardcoded =P
I downloaded a divx player named "demoplayer" and it works fine.
Havne't tried it, but this player:
http://mvideoplayer.info/
Touts a bunch of subtitle format support.
I tried it. I posted the results in the OP. It doesn't work for me the HTC evo because it doesn't originally play mkv files
its not a video player, and you still have to convert them but this works great.

vPlayer plays subs fine, just extract subs from your mkv using mkvextract (gui version if you prefer) or other extractor. if the sub isnt srt you can convert it with subtitle workshop or other app. ASS and SSA subs dont work, I tested, but
a 720p mkv enconded in h264 and audio in aac with the srt in the same foder with the same file name works like a charm on my evo.

Rock player also support srt, but I still prefer something that can play the files without having to convert / extract anything, if possible..
sent from my trusty myn-ionized EVO
Hi peeps, just curious to see if anyone knows of a media player that plays. Mp2 files. I have a tv decoder which records and can export via a usb socket. But when I copy the video files over nothing seems to play them. They list as Mp2, any helps good thanx in advance.
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
mp2 is an audio only format, isn't it?
Can you play the format on a desktop machine at all? What application do you use to playback?
Maybe you could try use a piece of software to analyze the file? Maybe Gspot.
Hi, back again.Tried what you suggested.I can play it on a PC using VLC and after running it through GSpot i get this info.Any ideas?
File Type: MPEG-2 Transport Stream
Mime Type: video/mp2t
Sorry, not sure what will play that back, maybe RockPlayer... However they are actively working on a VLC android port. Not sure about ETA but the last I heard (December 2010) was "very soon".
Until then, maybe try converting the file to something more common. There are plenty of free convertors out there.
@stigslim:
You try to play Mpeg2 Transport Streams ( mp2ts ).
And because MPEG2 needs extra licenses you have to buy the Cinema Plugin.
You can also try Rockplayer or Vitalplayer from the market.
And dont forget to rename the files to .ts

Mpeg2 does not need cinema plugin. Only mpeg2 when sound is encoded as 5.1 ac3 sound does it need cinema plugin. Mpeg2 with any other audio track plays fine. It is actually the ac3 5.1 coded that cinema plugin supports not specifically for mpeg2 at all.
John
The Cinema Plugin is needed for AC3 ( you are right ) and MPEG2.

It is not needed for mpeg2 at all. Every mpeg2 will play except an mpeg2 that has 5.1 ac3 sound in it.
Ac3 will also play without plugin if it is 2.0 it's only 5.1 that needs the plugin.
Try an play an MPEG 2 field that does not have an ac3 5.1 audio track and see what happens.
John
I have tried MPEG2 and MP2 files without AC3 and they are not played. A message is shown, that I would need cinema plug-in to play those file formats.

Hi, back again.I tried Rockplayer with no luck so I gave vitalplayer a go and it seemed to play it pretty good but had a bit of a problem with timing but that could have been a corrupt video file.I will try another clip and be back to let you know how I get on.

Second that. With an 101 with Firmware 1.0.84 (I'm holding out until they release the official flash support). Doesn't play mpeg2 files without plug-in!

not sure what your prob is. People running the same set up are having no probs. I did notice that the format looks like its 3gp. If it is 3gp that may be your prob and u need to either use a 3gp video playerthat can do 3gp like vlc or convert it to avi or mp4 format. The evo stock records in mp4 so maybe the camera app you are using can record in diferent formats.

Yeah tried playing it myself and does not work. Like i said b4 the video format that you have is 3gp and quicktime and most other players do not play that video format. If u want to play this with quicktime then u need to find a 3gp to mp4 video converter. I do not know why your video format is 3gp but that is your problem. Quicktime native compatible formats are AIFF, WAV, DV-DIF, MP3 and mp4, Also with addon components it can play ASF, DivX Media Format, Flash Video, Matroska, Ogg. So like i have said about three times already u need to convert the video from 3gp to mp4 or one of the native file formats quicktime supports. Here is a link to a pretty good converter http://download.cnet.com/AoA-iPod-PSP-3GP-MP4-Converter/3000-2194_4-10531870.html

My video's have always recorded in .3gp format. I can play back videos recorded in WVGA in .3gp but not 720p. Seems Kingdom b1 won't record 720p on my phone.
HW 004, if that helps.
And the video won't convert into anything else, renaming to .mp4 or .avi and so on doesn't help either.
