Two weeks ago I made a little application to convert any input video to MP4 compatible with our HD Touch HD.
At the beginning it was only for spanish people. It has been grown and now it's a big aplication and I want to share it with english spoken people.
Version 2.9f:
- Now you can choose audio track in VOB files and Dual audio AVI files.

- A new profile for that output resolution: Samsung
Version 2.8b:
- Now you can play any video with this program. In explorer, you must click right button of the mouse, and choose 'open with - Choose program.. - Mp4ForHD.exe'. Any video plays with MPlayer, no codecs required.
- Swedish language added
Version 2.8:
- Now in PSP conversions, if you choose X264 2pass, it really makes in two passes.
- Removed in options 'ProgressBar Method', because now it's unnecesary.
Version 2.7d:
- You can split a MP4 video file into another without reencoding. To use it, open a MP4 file and choose start and end positions. Then the 'Join Mp4' button changes to 'Split Mp4'.
Version 2.7c:

- Autosave current pendent video queue when program exit. Autoload the next time that program is executed.
- You can save or load pendent video queue.
- If you cancel a conversion, video returns to pendent queue.
Version 2.4b:
- "Loss Quality when an importart change of frame" bug solved in X264 2 pass.

- You can select number of processors/threads. It's useful in Lavc, Lavc+, and ffmpeg (not auto-thread support). It can increase conversion speed in multi-core computers.
- Subtitle languages are now independent of audio languages. It's useful in Dvd and mkv, with different audio languages and subtitle languages.
Version 2.3c:
- Support for cyrillic srt subtitles
- Added Galego language
Version 2.3b:
- Now you can select the charset of the srt subtitles (ISO-8859-1 occidental, ISO-8859-2 Central Europe, and ISO-8859-7 Greek). It has been solved problem with ¿?¡! characters, with greek alphabet, and perhaps with central europe languages.
- You can select size of srt subtitles.
Version 2.3:
- A new codec named Lavc+, with more quality than Lavc, but a 30% more conversion time.
- Now in options form you can set output resolution ratio (not only Full or Crop to Device)
- You can make your own video settings profiles. Examples: HD Quality, HD TV Series, PSP, Diamond crop to Device, Diamond 16/9, etc.
- Now you can multiselect files in pending videos queue. After that, you can delete, move, or apply a profile to all the selected videos.
- A new button added, to deselect all files in pending videos queue.
- In the pending videos queue, now shows codec, bitrate, and output resolution.
- The buttons in main form, are enabled or disabled according to actual situation.
- A new button added in the Edit Page, to enable or disable video preview.
- Dutch language added.
Version 2.2b:
- Now you can select Audio Bitrate (160 kbps,128 kbps,96 kbps,64 kbps and 32 kbps)
- If Output File exists, it isn't replaced. Now the program gives it a secuential number (For example Video01.mp4)
- If conversion process is aborted, then Output File is deleted.
- French Language added.
Version 2.2:
- The program has been renamed to Mp4ForHD (Mp4 for Hand-held Devices). It's because at the beginning, it was thought for Htc HD, but now supports a lot of devices.
- 3 differents coding ways: X264 2 pass (as version 2.1), X264 1 pass (only 1 pass. Sligthly less quality, but less time to encode), and LAVC (a codec that i tested for PSP, but surprisely is supported by the Htc HD. It's ultrafast, only spends 1/4 time of X264 2 pass, although loses quality. It's ideal for TV series)
- Full support for the PSP (X264 and LAVC codecs). It creates a jpg with a miniature of an instant of the film.
- I think I have solved the problem with 'REAL' method of ProgressBar calc.
- Final resolution (when changing aspect and crop) is better calculated.
Version 2.1b:
- Now, you can select three different ProgressBar methods: Calculated (as versions 1.8..2.0), Real-Slower (15% slow conversion), and Real-Problematic (as version 2.1 that to some people doesn't run)
- Solved '000000001.jpg not found' error.
- Option 'trellis' of MEncoder has been deleted
Version 2.1:
- You can choose output crop ratio (1.33,1.44,1.55,...,2.66) as well as Full and Crop to Device (this two already present in 2.0 version)
- Added new output resolutions (Iphone,PSP,720x432,640x384,560x336 and 480x288)
- Two new bitrates profiles: Very high (normal*1.5) and Very low (normal*0.5)
- Now progress bar is exactly calculated (checks constantly MEncoder's output log).
- Since 2.0b version, cropdetect (black flags detect) is working in all computers.
- You can see all the commands send to MEncoder and MP4Box in a log box.
- Now if no DVD audio language detected, the program try to force the language assigned in options.
- DVD subtitles are now more readable, but with the same size (MEncoder can't make it larger)
- Deutch Language added.
Version 2.0:
- You can select three diferent bitrate qualities: high (normal*1.25), normal and low (normal*0.75)
- You can select 4 maximum output resolutions: 800x480, 640x480, 400x240 and 320x240
- Fixed the bug 'Division by zero'.
- Increased time to know cropdetect (perhaps it runs well to somebody, who befores not)
- A better adjust of step 1 expected time
- Italian language added
Version 1.9:
- Can ignore up and down black flags, usseful for DVDs and VOBs, and another video files.
- In DVDs and VOBs, asumes 16:9 aspect ratio
- M4V file support
- You can input an audio-delay when video and audio are slightly asynchronized
- Video is automatic scaled when width is greather than 800 (before only when video heigth was greather than 480)
Version 1.8:
- Support for avi, mp4, wmv, mkv, mpg, m2v, mov, vob, flv. Dvd directly rip included.
- Adjust bitrate to resolution output video (from 250 to 800)
- Lets crop to our HD ratio aspect (5/3), and change the input video aspect ratio
- You can add, change order, or delete videos of the video pending queue in any time.
- Supports srt subtítles (if a srt file with same name is present)
- If heigth is greater than 480, it scales video
- Shows complete information of the video to convert (resolution, framerate, duration, etc)
- If input video includes multilanguage (Dvd, vob, mkv), you can select audio language, and subtitles language.
- You can select for each video the start and end position, and preview the video.
- You can join Mp4 of same resolution (if a video is splited in two videos, you can convert each one, and after join them)
- You can select if computer hibernate/suspends or shoot down after converting process.
- If application is minimized you see actual progress.
- Multilanguage interface support (actually English, Spanish and Catalan)
If you want to traslate interface to your language, copy the english.lng file to the name desired, and then edit with notepad, changing each input for the traslated one. Please send me this file if you want it will be present in the next version.

Try it. In the spanish forums all the people use it instead 'HTC Touch HD Video Encoder'.
It's absolutly freeware, no donations admited.
can i use it for htc diamond??
does it support vga rez??

Yes, HTC Album of Touch Flo 3D makes the job. If you convert a video in a maxim of 800x480 you can view it perfectly in Diamond, at full screen, or with black bands.
yeah i need it withou black flags(bands), how can i get this??
Seems to work really well. The output is slightly worse than the output from Projections encoder, but its smoother. Its ideal for TV rips or non HD sources. Trying with an HD source file now.
Thanks for sharing this great utility

About 1 hour. It depends of your computer.
probably no multicore support?
does anybody know how to convert film without black "flags" on bootom and top?
hey, Jandre, could you please upload it to rapishare or megaupload? thanks. can not download on mediafire.
is it me....or do i not see any output files in the output folder....

As Mp4HtcHD user i highly recommend it, posted before in spanish forums and works like a charm.
Rgds,
Can you please at .m4v to your file filter.
Thats the extention for apple's DRM-free video from the itunes store, and your app converts it fine after the file is added (with some difficulty).
Surur
This is great, it converts my files without any problems. Best encoder I've seen so far. This deserves a sticky!
Use internal media player to play or use 3rd party player to play best?

It's automatic. It's calculated depending the size of the output video.
Looks great would love to give it a try... could someone attach it locally.. or post it to somewhere other than mediafire? I live in China... Mediafire is blocked. Although i can view the page using Firefox and the Gladder plugin to proxy it the php download gets screwed up. BTW just off hand anyone know a plugin or app for WM that can handle multi public proxies? the Great firewall blocks most free web site pages, more than half download pages Wikipedia on and off depending on moon phase <sigh> most blog pages ect.
If someone could relink it that'd be great, if you can advise on a proxy setup for china on WM please Private message me. Thanks

Sounds good
I'll try it tonight when I get home. I have tried almost all dvd converter softwares from Handango and none of them work with Omnia, I can't get full video screen. The only one that works is DVD catalyst 3.
Luego te digo como fue con este. I'll let you know later
Thanks Gracias
Omnia device and DVD convertion
I just tried tonight converting a DVD to mp4 and when I play movie in Omnia device I get message file format not supported even though the movie plays with a good full video resolution screen which is very hard to get with most of the softwares out there but in slow motion, it keeps stopping during the play.
Also how can I get subtitles from DVD? I can only see support for srt .
Thanks a lot
So what format (fps, compression type, audio format, etc.) and player to watch a movie in 480x800 and have it play smoothly and also be the smallest file size possible?
There are a lot of good video players out there, but I have found that Core Player works best. You have to pay for it, but if you watch a lot of movies on your phone then I believe it is worth the cost. I have had no problem watching a number of different file formats. I have found with some tinkering that the .mp4 format also used in iPhones to give decent bang for the buck in quality vs size. I am using Core Player version 1.3.5 build 7340 for ARM and have had no problem at all playing movies. Hope that helps.

I just tried to find it and I can not, all I get from your link is a couple of dll's
For encoding rate, I recommend getting http://www.pocketdivxencoder.net/EN_index.htm and selecting the Touch Diamond settings, it'll do all the rest. You can tweak the video and audio quality.
I'm really impressed, although I've also discovered some 3gp settings that, for a 40MB file, are comparable to a 150MB avi (or so it seems to me).

http://sourceforge.net/projects/vlcpocketpc/
its still a beta though
Your best option would be the x264 format with faac audio which windows mobile player has acceleration for. It will give you very awsome quality and saves u having to pay/install other software.
Your best option for x264(but not the simplist) would be meGUI(easy to find on google)
When installing choose x264 *Scrathpad* and FAAC *scratchpad* profiles with any others u might like to use
There are afew settings u will need to setup on the first run, next time u encode something u just need to follow the bold options
tools - > AVS script creator
add video file to video input
tick suggest resolution in the resise options and make make it small enough to fit the screen at 800x480 (i dont recommend changing the aspect ration(eg making the width bigger but not changing the height))
click save
in video section change encoder settings to x264 *scrachpad*
press configure next to it
change mode to automated 2 pass
check turbo(much faster no noticable quality diff)
change bitrate to 500-600~ u can go as high as 800 but it wont be smooth and 600 is more then enough for the screen size
click ok
file format to MP4
in audio section add the same file from video input to audio input
change encoder settings in audio section to FAAC *scratchpad*
click config next to it
output channels to "convert to mono" seeing as we dont need it
VBR to 128~
click ok
extention to MP4-AAC
click autoencode in the bottom right hand corner
container = mp4
device = standard
size and bitrate choose No target size
press que
Go to the queue tab at the top
press start
Hi I have just started using handbrake and I am a little baffled. What settings or programs do use to encode video for the Desire?
I tried one encode to .mp4 using h.264 codec however I only get the sound and no video. Any help would be appreciated....
use Mpeg-4 instead of h.264 at 800x480px, works fine
I use the built in settings for the iphone and it works fine!

Hi how do you set the size to 800x480 and maintain the original aspect ratio?
There is no way. 800x480px is the max resolution to use. If you have a file with a lower res, leave it at that.
Oh I see, I'll give that a go....
It's really odd that there isn't a decent video player app out there.....
you can set the width to 800px and pres the keep aspect ratio. that will set the height to whatever is needed to keep the aspect ratio.
If your after a decent media player try nemoplayer (I cant post the link to the thread but the thread number is 598509)
I converted a video to [email protected], it stuttered a little with the default player, but played perfectly with nemoplayer.
As for conversion, I have found Xilisoft to be very good, I paid for it to convert videos for my iPod Touch as it has great default profiles and its very quick as it uses all 4 cores of my CPU.
For the settings it depends on the video but I have been using the following settings for x264 MP4 video, these settings should work with any video converter.
16x9 video:
1000Kbps
192Kbps audio (for movies and music videos, 128 might be good enough for most)
resolution 800x450
It leaves the smallest of boarders top and bottom but it retains the corrent aspect ratio
4x3 video
800Kbps
192Kbps
reolution 640x480
that`s an overkill. 800 Kbps @23 fps, 96k audio is well enough. It plays fine on default video player. Smaller file size as well.
I tied 800Kbps and found it looked no better than the music videos I purchased from itunes which are smaller again and have a lower resolution.
I suppose the best thing to do is play about with bit rate for the video and go with what you are happy with, file size isnt a big issue for me when it comes to movies or TV shows as I tend to only have one or two on the SD card at a time.
As for audio please anything lower than 128kbps should be illegal
There's actualy a very nice thread on these forums discussing the settings for the HTC topaz and which programs to use, but since google turns up this thread as the first one I guess I'll add a little comment here as well.
Any converter should work to convert video to the right format, it doesn't matter which one u use, as long as your converter has the options to set the video bitrate, audio bitrate, aspect ratio, frames per sec and maybe some extra audio settings. I use format factory and It works great.
Mp4 format with AVC H264 videocoding is the way to go. how you turn the settings out is up to you and the space on your SD card (or lack of one).
I use the following settings to play HD video on my HTC Topaz:
-MP4 format
-AVC (H264) videocoding on 512 bitrate (you might go up to 768, but will lag longer videos which you encode from a HD source) and a 800x480 resolution.
-AAC audiocoding on 128 bitrate (indeed the minimum for people with sufficient hearing-capabilities, otherwise you might wanna go lower than that, but not advised as you can definitely hear the difference) and 44100 sample rate.
-Framerate of 25 (fixed, no real need changing this anyway, it's the best framerate out there, any higher will probably slow down your video on mobile devices)
-aspect ratio of 4:3 (you can pretty much set this one however you like, as long as you don't let it decide automaticaly. if you're not sure about your aspect ratio use this setting)
These settings work great on Topaz and are probable to work for other HTC models, as long as they have a maximum resolution of 800x480. One more thing is to notice that your HTC device (at least starting from Topaz (touch diamond 2) has the ability to playback HD content. You can test above settings with videos downloaded from the HD sample site from microsoft. point is the HD playback only works on the standard player coming with your device (windows mediaplayer) because the decoders are not freely given to other developers and therefore no other video playback program has them implemented in their mobile player.
Hope this helped.

I installed Nemoplayer, but it only displays the videos in my DCIM folder? I have tried to move my test video over to that folder too, but it still can't find it. I converted it to mp4 with format factory, at 320 x something so the size should be ok
I usually encode in .mp4 h.264 base profile, max 3 ref frames, 800x640 res max and no cabac or b frames. At constant rate factor of 24 image quality is great and file size impressively small.
Tested on many videos, only mencoder needed, can't get any simpler:
Put this as one line in convert2desire.bat:
mencoder %1 -o "%~n1.mp4" -of lavf -lavfopts format=mp4 -vf dsize=800:480:0,scale=0:0,expand=800:480:-1::::,harddup -sws 9 -ovc x264 -x264encopts crf=24:force_cfr:bframes=0:nocabac:no8x8dct:global_header -oac faac -faacopts br=128:mpeg=4bject=2:raw -af volnorm=1 -channels 2 -srate 44100 -delay 0.3
Then run "convert2desire.bat tobeconvertedvideo.avi"
The resulting file will be tobeconvertedvideo.mp4
Lower crf to have even better quality and larger file.
The -vf parameters will always output a 800x480 file and other screen ratios will be correctly scaled to fit inside 800x480.

I must say the screen of the Desire is top notch quality!
It is ridiculous how crisp everything looks for such a small device.
Let me know if this script works for you.
Anyone tried doubletwist? It looks like itune, and if we sync video, it will convert it to the format that standard player in desire can play.
I agree on the audio delay in your script, the desire seems to delay video by a little.

N7 Crash on Lenovo Tablet (B6000-F) - fixed with restart (but important info)
Crash: on first open, and subsequent opens, app crashes. Have sent report via app (not Google). Team should have it.
Restarted and the app works.
------
Detials:
App: 2.4.2
Device:
Android 4.4.2 (3.4.67) stock.
Lenovo "Yoga 8" Tablet: B6000-F
---
App crashes on "open". First time: Crashes after a few seconds on black screen. Error: Application Crashed! com.nmobile.nplayer.
Report showed it crashed whilst scanning for music.
Thoughts: I assumed ti may have something to do with the insanely long filenames that n7 make, as I deleted my library and then copied it from my phone (which has n7 and works fine) and recieved errors saying several of the file names are too long.
EG:
albumart_n7mobile__VA_Garth_Brooks,_Green_Day,_John_Mellencamp,_R_Kelly,_Roxette,_SmashMouth,_SoundGarden_Unknown_2014-07-14_09_07_49_224.png

This may still have something to do with it as i deleted all of my album art.

Problem is from file name definitely. Yes we saw the error log. In fact the error was from Android itself and not from the app by itself. We will look to solve the issue. Thanks for the prompt feedback!
More crashing / information.

Hey Mate,
It seemed to work for a while (Since my last post) but as of this morning it has started crashing again. I've sent 4 reports -
1. Report after first crsah
2. Report after cache/data wipe & restart
3. Report after uninstall/reinstall
4. Report after uninstall/full data wipe (delete full 7n folder - 152MB)
After report no.4 I restarted again and rescanned my collection and it works fine. All album art is showing. I have managed to replicate the crash, but I still have on idea what has caused it, as I can't isolate it. When I tried I wasn't able to make ti crash a third time.
Sequence of events:
I was using n7 briefly before closing it. I then plugged the tablet it in to USB (charger only), then switched my internet on, installed iDisplay, switched my USB mode over to media & debugging . I tested iDisplay and didn't like it so I closed it, then turned on the Dolby Digital app and switched it's preset from Movie to Music. I then opened up n7 and it crashed.
I followed the sequence to the point where I installed iDisplay & switches USB/Wifi and then it crashed (so pretty sure not the Dolby App) but playaing with the wifi and USB and iDisplay individually makes no difference.
Note - this is the unlocked/paid version.
The applications you are using are conflicting with the application unfortunately
Hi,
does anyone else has a problem with playing dolby vision movies? Normal hevc 10bit hdr files are playing fine (although very dark). But dolby vision files ether don't have the correct colors (the typical purple/green color issues)
https://imgur.com/8Y8oUhH
or, if dolby vision gets recognized, it gets cut off on the top and bottom. The resulting aspect ratio is something like 1:6, so it is really really bad
https://imgur.com/1jtUhTb
both screenshots from the same movie
I tried the different dolby profiles using the dolby muxer from thier github (dvhe.05,dvhe.07,dvhe.08...).
Also i tried of course different players (kodi, kodi hdr edition, mx player, mpv, build in) but they all just use the hardware decoding and therefore have the same problem.
Also the ONLY file that i found that worked correctly was a demo from netflix (http://download.opencontent.netflix.com/?prefix=TechblogAssets/Meridian/encodes/)
Container also doesn't matter (thinking that metainfo has been given to the hardware decoder for correct aspect ratio). I tried ts, m2ts, matroska, mp4...
The same happens to me, unfortunately. Tried Plex too and has the same crop/colors error.
i found a solution for a few movies (e.g. some movie about a guy that has a license to kill).
If you have a movie in DV in an mkv container and the pad does not recognize it (puple/green colours) look first with mediainfo for the codec id. If it says on Codec ID dvhe this will not work, if it says V_MPEGH/ISO/HEVC the following will work. (Both videos report the same HDR format "Dolby Vision, Version 1.0, dvhe.05.06, BL+RPU")
demux the mkv to a hevc and audio/subtitle files (ffmpeg, tsmuxer,...)
mux it to an mp4 using the dolby muxer from github
mp4muxer --dv-profile 5.09 -i video.hevc -i audio.ac3 -o out.mp4
Add subtitles or whatever you want.
I have no clue why the aspect ratio is wrong on the dvhe files, i blame the HW decoding driver of the Pad.
Did you download the extensions?
1. Dolby Vision Extensions
2. HEVC Video Extensions
Available on windows store
Make sure to play DV files using windows video players, since DV is proprietary, most video players don't support it (even if you've got the extensions installed)

Use aPlayer (available on Play Store). Works fine with DV files.

You are talking about a windows PC, this is the xiaomi pad 5 forum.

On my device aPlayer shows a black screen on DV only files (i didn't test it with files which contain as a fallback normal hdr, like 4K BD)
Tried just player?
Just (Video) Player – Apps on Google Play

same result as in wrong colour or aspect ratio?
also specify the OS version you are on, because that's weird.

Sorry i gave up on DV. This thread is now a year old and i am on a custom rom. So i don't really want to say that it does not work as i didn't try it for some time with miui (like half a year). But Just Player uses Exoplayer which is used by a lot of players (exceptions are mpv and vlc i think).
Currently on ArrowOS:
mpv (by far the best player in my opinion): wrong colors, the fix is afaik not yet merged in the android release https://github.com/mpv-player/mpv/issues/7326
although this does also not work on my pad
vo=gpu-next has no effect on DV format files with hwdec=mediacodec-copy · Issue #10287 · mpv-player/mpv
Important Information Reproduction steps I'm using a custom build mpv-android with the latest libplacebo (> 4.192.0) and ffmpeg (>5.0). The build is from the following locations: https://www.reddit...
github.com
vlc: wrong colors
just player (and any exoplayer): black screen on Arrow (but i think it had wrong colors on miui)
Thanks for your reply anyways

Well, this is embarrassing. I only looked at the month and replied since it was Nov. Thank you for all the additional info

is it worth to go for the ArrowOs ? The latest MIUI update worsen my tablet performance, it's so frustrating
