I downloaded a few youtube videos as .flv files and uploaded them onto my MDA compact 3 storage card ( sandisk 2GB ). I installed a program called TCPMP which plays them ( .flv, .avi, etc ). Picture quality and sound is great. However, the picture often freezes for a second or two or more, on and off during the course of the video. The sound continues with no problem. Anyone else have this problem?
This is normal for the Artemis when playing heavy videos, because of its slow processor.
Try this operations:
- close all active processes
- free up RAM memory, for example using Oxios Hibernate
- overclock your pda to 286 mhz, for example using Battery status.

Thanks mate. Does converting to avi or 3GP make it run smoother than as .flv?

Yep, I agree it runs smoother when I've closed running apps. I'll give this Oxios a try as well.
How do I overclock? Not sure I follow you about using battery status, and is there some risk in overclocking? Wouldn't want to overheat my cpu.
The first time you must inizialize the application BatteryStatus, setup CPU to 286 mhz in the "Omap" window.
After you must overclock temporary only when playing videos or great applications, clicking on frequency of CPU in today screen.

Does OMAP work stable in 286Mhz?

hi
i have coreplayer 1.04
some time the movie slowes a little bit , i overclocked my cpu to 273 mhz , but its not smooth yet , anybody knows some tip why ? or what to do best ?
thanks in advance.
best one is
tcpmp there are a few people who have shared this file on the forum just search and download and install.
You can also try to resize you movies by using PocketDivx
This freeware program allows you to remove frames and resize to dpa format.
Where tcpmp is a player, the PocketDivx can fit a full movie in about 150 Mb.
Core player is TCPMP.
I am still using TCPMP, if you go into settings/advanced and tick a few boxes in there, less buffering over smooth video, slow video memory, see what happens. Mine is smother for having a play with the settings.
Read this in the Hermes forum that in tcpmp check the raw frame buffering in the video options really helps,and as uniqueboy has pointed out you also have to configure in settings/advance.
Yeah....I'm using that a well....i must use program....
What video playing software are you guys using?
I'm using Core 1.3 and getting really jerky videos (music videos).
I thought they'd look excellent but they are not. Is there a better ap or some settings that I might need to change?

fair enough.
I just thought that people would still be using 3rd party apps like tcpmp or core as they used to be much better on my old phone (Kaiser)
I did search and got lots of varied answers

When I watch normal movies in SD resolution (mostly XviD) the playback isn't 100% smooth. I'm using CorePlayer and when I do a benchmark I about 105%.
On my old Samsung i780 it was never a problem watching movies and the benchmarks always got at least 150%.
I've been told that this is because bad video drivers on the TP2. Is this correct? And is it possible to fix this?
Or are there better players than CorePlayer?
I dont want to convert the files to lower resolution/quality or something like that.

You can try the drivers found in THIS thread...they seemed to improve playback for me in the divx player, though I've not tried coreplayer yet. But, I still think the TP2 still seems to lack a little bit in this area.
(and despite the title of the thread, they're actually OpenGL drivers, not D3D, as explained later in the thread)

I already have that driver installed and it helps a lot in the demo but haven't really noticed any difference in any real program. And not in CorePlayer.

Understood, just wanted to make sure you knew about them
The only other thing I might suggest is switching off TF3D before playing the vid, I don't know if it'll help, but it's worth a try.

TCPMP GF5500 Edition
I am using Core player/TCPMP GF5500 Edition. But instead of using DirectDraw, I am using GDI settings.
Follow this: Options -> Video -> GDI
And then this: Options -> Settings -> Select Page -> DirectDraw -> and select option 2 and 3
This should work for you on TP2.
Doesnt work for me. With GDI I get 54% in benchmark and with DD I only get 25%.
Coreplayer uses Qtv drivers, or their version of them, because htc has custom ones for the qualcomm processor. Therefore it is not as good as another device which has access to good drivers for its video accelerator. The best video player for the phone is the Album program from HTC, it uses the real Qtv drivers and i always get really good framerate with MP4s. I mean, as far as i know this is the case. Make sure your coreplayer version has the Qtv driver, use it instead of GDI or DD, or it will be bad quality.

Yes, I use Qtv but that only gets right above 100% in benchmark which means it will not be smooth playback all the time. Not the end of the world, but still annoying since my old phone played all my files perfectly with CorePlayer.
Album is not an option since I dont even have that installed and I dont want to convert all videos to mp4.
Album also doesn't remember the play position per video file, so playback always starts at the beginning of the video. Even my Blackberry would at least resume each video wherever I stopped it the last time it was played.
well unfortunately, until HTC allows access to the Qtv drivers, which will be never, coreplayer will not be very good. ive made peace with that and am gonna jump onto the HD2 later this month.
Too bad. But wont the HD2 be as bad as any other HTC phone at video playback? Ok, it has a faster CPU so maybe it will be good anyway, but the driver problem remains I guess?
Have you tried messing with the buffer settings?
Menu->Tools->Settings->Select Page->Buffering
This helped. But is still a bit laggy.
Strange though... just ran a benchmark on an xvid and it was in super slow motion 62.69% speed. But plays fine when i play video normally
Anyways,
I have buffer setting like this:
Normal buffer size - 6400kb
preload at underrun - 70%
Preload for audio - 6400kb
Low delay streaming - unchecked
Microdrive mode - Checked
Microdrive buffer size - 16000kb

I get fairly good playback. Little laggy when it comes to fast passed videos. But overall its watchable IMHO

Yup,
but every benchmark i do on any avi xvid still get same results...
when i watch normally its fine. just does the super slow motion thing when i benchmark
Im using Coreplayer with default settings (plays better than TCPMP) , when I was using another ROM (Timor .91) i got better results, about 140% average speed.
here is another quick bechmark
We should compare our results using the same video. Which video should we choose?
Hi,
ever since I upgraded to Rhodium I could not get proper video playback.
Basically no support for overlay.
I was/am using CorePlayer v1.3.6.Build.7427.
Qtv (Tytn II mode on) should work, but it never has. Tried all other video output options, didn't help.
Tearing is always there as is s*itty framerate. Getting ~65%/880kbps on a 1.3mbit video, mp4 avi 640x352.
Coreplayer was working perfectly on my Raphael and working good on the Kaiser.
This all happens on NRG roms (the only one I use ), currently on: Energy.RHODIUM.21903.Sense2.5.Cookie.May.22
Any ideas?

Only known solution - turn off Sense when playing videos.

For me, it works sometimes. Try soft-resetting the phone
Speed Issues
Are other things slow on ur Tilt2 or is it just Media Playback perhaps you have too much stored on ur internal memory and it is slowing ur whole phone down. Just a possible solution...hope it works or hope that somehow ur problem gets fixed
I've never had this problem, except from tcmp that was cooked in... Never core player...
Sounds like a RAM problem, which would be why shutting off sense would fix this. Might need to look at all the apps you are using and disable some. Depends on whether you prefer using all the apps you have now, I disable all the tabs I don't use\need and usually have soft reset the phone a little earlier to clear the RAM.

RAM has nothing to do with it. It is related to Sense. Pure and simple. Nothing to do with apps, RAM, the video bit rates. It is Sense, WM6.5 and up, and Tilt2. I have done enough testing with both my TP2, TP, and Diamond2 to know it has everything to do with this combination. Sense on the TP2 hijacks the video drivers and unless you turn Sense off video will run choppy on Coreplayer or TCMP.
Coreplayer renders my (DVDFab Mobile mp4 ripped from DVD9) 1.87GB Avatar file ( 2 pass / 1519kbps / 29fps / 368x208 @ full screen) flawlessly on my stock ROM Tilt 2 running Sense 2.1.
Fluid, non-stuttered fast scene movements/changes with great detail tracking 100%.
It has everything to do with fine-tuning OS to have +60MB RAM free (60%) too. Of course, Coreplayer MUST be installed into main memory, not running from SD.
Something else is at fault if still having issues.
AVI container is terribly inefficient, try a pure .mp4 encoding video+audio together (PSP profiles work particularly well). Walle as same .mp4 also plays butter smooth, another tough file to lose fast panning jitters and momentary lags.
Reducing frame size greatly helps without perceptible crispness losses.
Hi
I too am having problems with playing video
on my touch Diamond 2 i just used to transferr over avi files straight from my pc with no conversion and it worked fine.
tried it with the touch pro and the video was well stuttery and unwatchable.
i am just about to load up tcmp to see if that is better
I did turn of sense but that didnt seem to make any difference.
I am also going to try the following conversions:
mp4 PSP settings
h264 original resolution
wmv
i dont really want to have convert every video but if i do what is the resolution to go for?
also i have seen people talk about adjusting the settings for core player but cant see any resolution settings on the player.
sorry to be a bit thick.
thanks in advance
Coreplayer is the best video player. For resolution I find 1/2 display 800x400 gives best compromise of detail. For example, see above post about Avatar, a particularly difficult movie due to high detail levels combined with virtually zero non-moving backrounds adding rendering complexity.
368x208 gave very good detail, full 16:9 image and allowed high frame per second and high kbps which are far more important smoothing out high-action rendering. Higher resolution is just too much to process without lags.
PM me for a sample of what a good conversion can provide, without fooling around disabling Sense, etc.
bmhome1
see the other post i did on testing players and resolutions.
I agree that the mp4 PSP (368 x 208) works well
its just a pain that i have to convert all my files (or turn off sense)
I know its a business device but it seems a bit crap when it wont play as well as the TD2
Hi all,
I broke my blackstone (Touch HD) last week and bought a used Touch Pro, so I am new to this section of XDA.
The first thing I noticed was the poor video playback using coreplayer. I never had this problem with blackstone.
I decided to install NeoS2007_Driverpack_3.cab (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=496528), since it is compatible with our device and I must say it is a big improvement.
I wacthed the new A-team movie without any stutter or glitches, so for me this solution seems to work nicely. I left sense running and did nothing else to improve video playback. The file is a "regular' movie file (MPEG-4, 720x304, 25.000fps).
Hope I can be of some help.
cheers!
extra comment: I found the ram usage of stockrom and a lot of custom roms very high, but after flashing a couple I think I found a winner.... see signature. After using it for a whille, the ram usage is "only" at 45%, which is prettu descent I believe for rhodium roms. I installed the driver pack and R6-16 shortcuts and a bunch of other "crap" like changescreen to have TomTom and other programs to run in landscape, so it's no clean rom anymore.
in fairness to core player wheni played an mp4 file on it it was fine without the sense switched off - see my other post regarding the video player testings i did
I forgot to mention in my post here above that using tnyynt SD Tuneup will increase the access speed of the storage card.
You can read about it here: http://pocketnow.com/tweaks-hacks/how-to-dramatically-speed-up-your-storage-card
Install this tweak first and see how the video works. It will smoothen the playback even without NeoSdrivers installed.
Best Results (IMHO)

You could try rockplayer (http://www.ubergizmo.com/15/archives/2010/06/rockplayer_media_player_beta_for_android.html ) but i have not tested it myself since my phone is at htc service centre
edit: if you want to convert them, I use badaboom (uses my nvidia gpu so goes fast, although it s not able to convert to the maximum resolution of the phone) or handbrake (which uses cpu)
Hi, not tried myself yet, but just been googling the same question, some report success with:
http://www.any-video-converter.com/products/for_video_free/
others:
http://www.videora.com/en-us/Converter/iPod/ "Videora" for the iphone 3GS (free) on standard settings.
seems to play H263 or H264, and audio in AAC - no codecs yet for divx etc.
Hopefully some others will post here with good software solutions - good ones being free
The RockPlayer works great for avi/divx files on desire, thanks
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
Rockplayer is indeed a great AVI player but I have found a few files it plays slow or stutters on, as it's only beta at the moment I'm looking forward to the full release - in the meantime it's a great app to have.
+1, I've also been using rock player for the last couple of weeks and have had no problems with any dvd quality files. I still use mvideoplayer for x264 stuff though as its better for that and the GUI on rock player is poor - visibility is an issue quite often as it's status bar overlay is transparent with a bit of white meaning you often can't see the timecode on bright images.

hm? gpu converter? I havent seen or tried one yet.
EncodeHD is pretty simple but uses cpu power. http://dcunningham.net/media-tools/encodehd/
I pretty much recommend it if you want 1:1 and dont like messing around with resolutions and compressions.
Badaboom says my system is not compatible. But I got an 8800GT and windows 7. That should be compatible!!!
I did try badaboom now and I'm disapointed actually. It slower then EncodeHD when run from a quad 9300 3GHZ. There doesnt seem to be a way to keep the original resolution either. I mean whats the point to encode to 640x480 or even 800x400 when the original files are only 624x352.
i'm running it on windows 7 x64 with 8600m gt and works like a charm. (for those of you with ati cards there is ati avivo but i have no experience with how it works) @balos no wonder that a cpu based encoder is faster with a 3ghz quad core (i'm only on a dualcore 1.8 ghz). And badaboom not seeing your system as compatible do you have latest drivers installed?
I got it working but it only converts with a disappointing 170fps. When I pick a bigger resolution it even drops to 140fps.
With xmedia encode I can reach 200fps on HTC Desire profile and original resolution of the chosen .avi. On Ipod profile which i used with badaboom where I got 170fps. I can go up to 220fps with other cpu based encoders.
I would recommend Badaboom and similar gpu based converters only when you have a weak cpu or when you need your cpu resources freed for other things.
I'm gonna stick with EncodeHD and Xmedia. Both are free converters and since my cpu is stronger then my gpu and I dont use my computer when I do the converting its the better choice.
Well its true that we got an .avi player now with rock player which even plays them smooth. But .avi format uses about 20% more cpu power then mp4 so it should drain the battery so much faster. If thee is an power source close to where you watch your movies it doesn't really matter.

I use Danuisoft Convereter to Convert , but you can use any converter. You just need to make sure that it is set to
Resolutions : 800 x480
Container: MP4
Video Codec H264
Frame rate 29.4
I set my audio codec to AAc or MP3, but thats up to you.
You can choose h264 is the only codec that show thumbnails currently.
If you jhave any questions let me know.
i hope you only converting HDs with that setting because on the usual .avi it would be a waste.

I have made multiple tests and these settings are best for HD and SD content .avi included.
What exactly do you mean? Usually tv shows are in 624x352 24fps. 1000kbps
How could you gain anything from using a higher resolution, more fps and bigger bitrate. Makes no sense. The only thing you will get is streach your avarage 350MB file to 500Mb without improved quality.

Maybe things are different from you, but this works for me. If you have another reccomendation feel free to post your two cents.
no im just wondering how you get out of 24fps 30 and what a bigger resolution brings other then higher cpu usage and slower conversation time. Was always wonering why the cam or TS movie rippers dont just boost the resolution and make HD out of cam rips.
the short answer. It bring nothing. At last nothing good but if it works for you, go with it.
THE real setting for .avi if you want to keep best quality should always be.
h264
keep original fps count
keep original resolution
keep original bitrate.
you may add little sharpness filter.
Best and simpliest converter for this is EncodeHD
