anyone know of anywhere to grab pre configured videos that will playback on the orbit? if its not allowed to be posted can anyone pm me ?
I have TCMP player installed on the phone which is brill, played back an mpg that I had on my comp in 352x240 and its was very smooth, not tried an avi's, tried a wmv but the res was 653x something or other ?!? this was very jerky on the phone
if there isnt anywhere to get files set up for playback on the orbit is there any good software to edit properties of the existing videos I have
I think, though I am often wrong, that if you download a copy of a movie you already own, even from some bittorrent site with something like bitcomet, that I would not be breaking the law.
thats right i think, only its hard to find stuff in 320x240 unless theres someway of changing avi's or finding media in PPC format
Any xvid a friend of mine has tried works in TCPMP even across his network. Usually at least VGA. But if you need card space.
ok well I had a go at encoding a normal film with pocketdivxencoder, it comes out smooth but a little pixelated. any optimum settings ?? it encodes at 320x132...why not 320x240?

Depends on where you live.
In the US, there is a fair use clause I think. In the UK there is no such thing as fair use - it is in fact illegal to rip mp3s from a CD that you own and put them on your own mp3 player (unless it's written into a license clause), although it's obviously not enforced. Part of the European Copyright Directive so probably applies to the rest of Europe too.
Having said that, I think there is some legislation that is currently in the process of going through that will allow you to make copies for your own use, as I everyone knows that the law is daft as it stands.
try pocketdivxencoder, i got me a copy of tenacious D in AVI format and converted it. Picture was DVD quality and filesize was only around 300-400mb
Yeah I only got pocketdivxencoder last night and had a go with the same file but using different setting, all play smooth but look pretty pixelated and a bit blurry if im being honest, I think it may be down to never using the program before
can you remember the parameters you used to encode the file? ie the audio/video quality slide bar resolution set to and advanced video options ?!? I just accepted the default settings that it gave when I selected the "PDA" from device list.
thanks
cant actually remember to be honest, think i just used default for a quick test when got it and the result was pretty good.
Hey guys, sorry for the probably newbie question but..
whats the best way to convert/compress/store and play video's on our phones?
I've got a few Divx movies that I'd like on my phone, and I have Rockplayer, but theres no way I have enough storage to be putting 3/4/5gb movies onto my SD card
especially not since im rocking a stock 8gb atm
i use the program anyvideoconverter. it lets you put in the screen size bit rate etc. Most of my movies end up around 700MB they also look very good on the evo at this side. Some longer and better quality ones are 1.5 to 1.6 but rarely bigger. I currently convert all movies if they arent to AVI through it (or if they are huge i convert but change resolution to the evos)
Witht he free version yuo have to manually enter the information the paid version has a lot of presets that allow you to just select the device type and it will convert it for it.
Handbrake is another good one. Tons of advanced settings for mobile use. Google handbrake and evo. There are a few great sites out there that explain the perfect settings just for the evo.

+1 on Handbrake. Just don't encode using h.264, use mpeg-4. I had issues on 2.1 with h.264 (audio/video sync, lag). 2.2 may have cleared those up, but I have not tested.
Having owned an HD2 for 9 months and struggling to type on it, I decided to try the Touch Pro2 and bought a nice example on eBay. In terms of usability as a phone I find it way better that the HD2, the acoustics and volume are great, it’s comfortable to hold, and finally I can type properly. I also bought this phone for the TV-out that the HD2 lacks. However, the video playback is terrible!
I have been through the forums here, tried all the tweaks and fixes, tried every setting in TCPMP/Core, tried disabling Sense (which makes no “sense”) but still videos which play fine on the HD2 are barely playing at all on the TP2 - jerky, low frame rate. I don’t want to have to re-encode everything; I download DIVX TV episodes, around 350MB each, and just play them directly on the HD2. I realise the HD2 has a much faster processor, but I’m sure my old Diamond played these videos just fine too.
I have tried the latest stock HTC (unbranded) ROM that the phone came with, with Core Player, and also tried the latest Energy ROM with the built in TCPMP – no difference. All I see on the forums is that it’s a known problem with the TP2 and WM6.5. But I can’t believe that all the loyal TP2 users on this forum are just happy to accept the virtual lack of video playback capability on a phone like this.
Is there a fix, or am I going to have to put this great phone back on eBay and continue my quest for the perfect phone?

i hear about this problem a lot. try converting the file format of the video to .avi or mp4.
personally i have no problem with video playback. havnt tried mkv yet but im not too hopefull on that one.
If you cant play it decend, then it's a rom problem. I use valkyre roms and I never had problems what so ever when I wanted to play a video.
So try that rom and see how it goes.
If i want to view a video on my TP2 i convert it with this tool:

I spent much of yesterday trying out different DVD/video conversion software and finally settled on one that does a great job of converting files into a format that plays well on the Tilt 2/TouchPro 2. I don't know why, but it appears this phone's version of WMP doesn't like MPGs or WMVs as much as it likes 3GP files. These files (in both *.3gp and *.3g2 format) play almost flawlessly and without artifacting, something neither MPGs or WMVs do on the Tilt 2. In the process of auditioning all these various programs, the best I found was Pavtube's Blu-ray Video Converter Ultimate. Don't let the name fool you, it does much more than just Blu-ray. In fact, it can handle almost anything you throw at it and the flexibility of output choices is amazing. Not only are there templates for just about any video/audio format you'd want, but they are editable, so you can change them to your needs and then save them as custom templates. I was hesitant about the $69 list price (the trial puts a watermark in the middle of the screen), but I did some searching and found a discount coupon online and got it for only $37. I have converted all 3 Matrix movies, the Lord of the Rings trilogy and a BD of the 2nd Narnia movie. I had the choice to preserve the theatre aspect ratio or go full screen and both look stunning on the Tilt 2 and play with barely a hiccup. I have some traveling coming up and wanted to take some movies on the road. This program was well worth the money and I spent hours trying others with varying degrees of success. The one free option (Freemake) is OK, but has nowhere near the customizability and its 3GP conversions do not play properly on the Tilt 2. The WMV conversions I did had artifacting issues with fast motion and the MPGs looked horrible and laggy. I wholeheartedly recommend this program from Pavtube. Here's a link to the discount I used.
http://software-coupon-everyday.com...o-converter-ultimate-42-discount-coupon-code/
BD conversion is a real-time process (yes, you need to have a BD reader), but DVD conversions take about 25 minutes for a 2 hour movie. The one BD movie I did yielded a 900mb file and the standard DVDs yielded about 500mb files. You can get them smaller, but quality will suffer a bit. I have a 16gb card, so no worries for me.
BTW, the serial number worked on both my desktop and laptop PC installations, so I can take it with me on the go.
I don't understand why you would do all this workarounds when all you need to do is flash a decend rom?
What workarounds? If you want to transfer DVD movies to the device you have to convert them somehow, and the software I recommended makes it possible. Not everyone wants to go through the hassle of flashing ROMs. Yeah, I know it can be easy, but the trial and error of finding a ROM that suits your needs, is stable and the chore of reinstalling all your tweaks and programs is a real pain. No thanks.
Hate to say it cuz I love my TiltII but IMHO it is that hardware acceleration of the video was not implemented in the driver by HTC just like the original Tilt which was a dog for playing video files as well. I have found that the HTC video player will play H264 mp4 files that are great looking and not jumpy but it cannot be that high of throughput.

Are you running Atom's or Neo's cab? After reading through all the related threads, seems like Neo's latest V3 cab has better performance and higher compatibility with the Tilt 2/TP2, but it's over 1mb compared to 80k. I assume this needs to be installed to system memory, not the SD card.
I installed Atom's cab and while it did speed up the box animation, I see no difference in any of my 3D games or in TF3D performance. I read where many are installing both Atom's and Neo's cabs and seeing improvement. I may try this, but I'd like to hear from others that have done so.

Yup. Running OCX at 710. Movies played fine even without that. 3D games are a little laggy, though. Just wondering if I need both 3D drivers to see the full benefit.

with this phone i even forgot the last time i converted/encoded anything... MX Video Player is simply the best and will play anything you throw at it up to 720p. 1080p plays smoothly as well but not always. oh, and multi-subtitles/multi-audio tracks are supported as wel. only issue i found with it is it won't display embedded bitmap "vob" subtitles (other subtitles, both mixed in and external play just fine)
as far as video conversion, i take the geeky approach. AviSynth + x264 + neroAacEnc. with proper settings you will get the best results, ever... seriously. if you're scarred of command line, use the MeGUI or Handbrake frontends. same encoders, different approach.
i've spent many years experimenting with various video encoders/compressors and from my experience i've concluded that regardless of what you're trying to accomplish, h264/aac codec combo will give you the best quality than any other codec out there. oh, and make sure to use mkv container. it's the most flexible of popular container formats.
lastly, if you just want an easy tool, use Sorenson Squeeze. very flexible, easy to use, has gpu acceleration, and gives quite impressive results. only downside is its hella expensive, that is if you're trying to stay legal

Very true, our device will typically play most formats stock without a complaint. I mostly set this thread in motion for our fellow xda'ers who were having trouble finding options to overcome a single file size limitation without splitting. Your info was spot on my man.. well said!

That is a very simple, no options (other than picking the phone model) encoder. I don't know off hand that phone in its list has similar resolution with our phone (800x480 I think) but it works without a fuss. It doesn't do batch, only one at a time. I don't know if it's 2 pass or not. My preference is handbrake. If you use something like that, check in the settings that CABAC is off. That is a feature that will make smaller files but it will need more cpu to decode during playback. Off setting has larger file sizes but it's less cpu intensive during playback. I haven't made a comparison between on and off but I don't think off makes the file really huge. If you're doing DVD resolution encodes, dual pass encoding with video bitrate of 2000 is sufficient with no noticeable difference in artifacting from 2500.
Another suggestion is with the video the phone camcorder makes. It's bigger than it needs to be file size wise. Run it through handbrake with default settings, only changing CABAC to off, and perspective (screen) to none. That makes a 1080 2 gig 20 minute video down to about 300mb and I don't see the difference in video quality.

Thanks for this heads up, but I have a question. I was converting a DVD to test this one out, and it seems to work flawlessly so far, but I did notice if I choose to convert to Android 800x480 with the defaults everywhere else, I wind up with files around 1.25GB. Is there a particular set of settings I can use to shrink that size or a way to take the mp4 files and reduce their size? I'm used to mp4s being ~300 - 500MB, so just wondering if there is a way to set it up I'm not seeing.
I use Hand brake without issue on my epic touch. Just throwing out another program for everyone to try.

Welcome! Yeah you can change a few things, the bit rate and format play a lot in the over all file size. Mp4 will compress more as apposed to avi. The ps3 setting is a useful one for that. You can click on each of the presets setting and get an overview of the container/codec/bit rate/frame rate that are being used to give you an idea.
Sent from this phone
Thanks again. I found in the dialog box that allows me to rename the mp4 I can also limit the maximum size of the file. It automagically changes the bitrate that way, and I have much more manageable files now.

Guys,
I have some Blu-ray movies that I want to convert to a video format that's compatible with the Samsung Galaxy Note 2, reduced to a phone-friendly size, retaining the best PQ/AQ possible.
Let me explain ... I'm basically going to rip my Blu-ray's to MKV. What I don't want to do is 'Overkill'. In other words, I know the Note 2 has a 720p display -- so I'm not going to choose 1080p Resolution for my MKV's ... I'll choose 720p. Similarly, I'd like to know what's a good Bitrate to choose --- nothing too low so I regain the best possible quality --- but not Higher then what the Note 2 supports. I don't know what kind of Bitrate Note 2 is capable of playing back smoothly.
Same thing with Audio - I have custom ffmpeg-built DTS Codec installed for MX Player so I can play DTS Audio ... but I'm not sure if that's necassary, or if I should downsample it to something that'll give me good audio for the movies (via headphones).
Essentially I'm trying to balance File Size & Quality. Obviously 6GB or 7GB video files will fill up my phone memory & SD Card pretty quickly; so I really want to avoid overkill with the Video/Audio.
Any advice?
Thanks!!

unless you plan to use HDMI out, I would just use the default settings in Handbrake. On a 5.5" screen, you're not going to notice big differences between a low bit 720 MKV versus a high. Heck, I would probably shoot for file sized that top out a 4GB, and really tried to hit 2GB average. I wouldn't even worry about DTS, just transcode to stereo.
You're going to use the HDMI, then 4GB is the average I would look for to hit. It'll have some issues, but usually just stuff like clouds. Think of FAT32 file size limit and using PS3 with an external HDD.
Personally, I keep very few movies. They're just for those times of no internet access. Otherwise, I just use Netflix, Crackle, Hulu, Plex and so on. I have a lot more content that way.

Hey - thanks for the response. I dont plan on using HDMI and indeed I was looking for no more then 2gb - 3gb file size. I agree - 720p MKV with average bit rate and stereo audio is probably the best way to go.
So you recommend handbrake? Only issue is I have blu-ray discs. Will handbrake be able to read disc and convert straight from it?
This is also for travel; not home. But couple favorite flicks I watch frequently I own discs for.
Thanks - Appreciate it.

In my experience handbrake will rip just about anything but you need a program that removes the disc rip protection thing. The name escapes me, but we couldn't discuss it in thread anyways.

I'll give Handbrake a shot and test it out shortly; and yes - I know the program you're talking about and I do have it installed on my system so protection shouldn't be an issue.

Hey - Quick question for you -- So I got Handbrake and it looks like it's reading my Blu-ray disc just fine; selected the main title to encode and everything. I was wondering ... is there a profile for the Galaxy Note 2 available for Handbrake? One that someone's already created?

I have no idea if Handbrake can read Blu Ray discs, per se. What I would suggest because it can take a while to transcode and don't like running my optical that long, rip your disc using MakeMKV. This doesn't transcode the movie; it just changes the container to MKV.
Once you have the MKV from MakeMKV, then you can transcode it it Handbrake to a small MKV file. It's an extra step, but it'll save your optical drive in the long run.
As for the DRM, MakeMKV has a build one. It works most of the time. If not, just have to wait for it to get updated. Otherwise, there is AnyDVD HD. It's not free like MakeMKV or handbrake; MakeMKV you do need to grab the update beta reg code after about every thirty days.
As for profiles, I just leave it at the default one. I just change the video and audio within their respect tabs. It's fairly intuitive and Hbandbrake has a help file with enough information to let you know the what changes in values do for most things.
Beyond that, it's going to be trail and error to see what you like. Transcoding is very CPU intensive. I'm not saying your CPU is going to run at 100% or anything. But, the more powerful and faster it is, the faster your transcode will be. Personally, I like to do 2 pass when I use file size target. It'll helps with the qaulity; the program analyzies and compares the passes. I also don't use the tubro pass. Thus, my transcodes take hours to complete.
Overall, given what you want to do, I would use MakeMKV than Handbrake. I would use the default settings, but change the video resolution (with the keep aspect ratio checked), and audio to stereo (probably AAC). No idea on your PC, but I figured it'a at least dual core. I would guess it'll take around three to fours to complete, and probably give your file around 2 GB, maybe smaller. Some movies you may have to tweak beyond that, but you'll figure it out the more you experiment. If want to test a movie before the whole thing, just do one chapter.

Hi -- Thanks again for your detailed reply; actually I'm already into the encoding process now as everything seems to be working out well (for the most part). Handbrake was effectively able to read my Blu-ray disc and re-encode to MKV. I do have AnyDVD HD running which decrypts the disc allowing Handbrake to read it.
I'm having a completely different issue at this point encoding using Handbrake. The problem I'm having is that my original movie, "Prometheus", which on the Blu-ray disc is in the 1920 X 1080 resolution, has the Letterbox bars in order to preserve the aspect ratio. However, when I encode using Handbrake, it's Stretching the image height --- it's not keeping the Letterbox. I do have "Keep Aspect Ratio" checked and I have tried all 4 Anamorphic settings -- None, Strict, Loose, Custome --- But I don't get the letterbox bars on top & bottom; I get a stretched height image. How can I keep the Letterbox to keep the original image size and no stretching?
Thanks!
are you sure it's stretching it? It's possible that screen resolution may be that the black bars are not needed. I'll have to check it out later. I have it as part of my digital media collection. I'll check it on Plex and see what it does. I think my rip is 1080p though.

Solved it!! Had to change "Cropping" from Automatic to Custom with 0 0 0 0 values.
Everything is absolutely perfect now; excellent PQ at 2GB filesize. Just what I needed.
Thanks for all your help - appreciate it.
