use formatfactory to convert it into mpeg format. personally I would recommend converting it into xvid format and use player like coreplayer to play.

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.

I have ripped movies from dvds and converted them to mp4 (320 X 240). I then added them to my storage card through windows media player. When I play the movie on my phone using wmp or tcmp, the audio is good but the video is choppy and blurry.
Can anyone please give me advice or point me to a source that may help.

You need DVD wizard............!
I use Clone DVD mobile myself works great. Once you get it installed open it up and click on the + next to other devices. select windows smartphone click next, click the button next to DVD video files and browse to the dvd or Video_TS folder on your hard drive, do any editing there you want or not, click next, click next again, under resolution select 320x240, under enter file name to write click the button and browse to where you want to save the output file, under label put the name of the movie, under letterbox try the 3 settings to see which one you like best and hit go. When its done copy it over to your storage card on your phone with active sync explorer and use TCPMP player or Windows Media Player to watch the movie. The finished file size runs from 400mb to 650mb depending on the movie length. I was very impressed with the quality of the movies on my dash. I'll have to give DVD Wizard a try first I've heard about it. Anyways hope this helps.
Converting ripped DVD's to run on a Dash
Hi,
I tried the trial version of Clone DVD Mobile but got terribly out of sync audio/video also a lot of chunky replay. I wrote to their tech support and got pretty good responses from one of their staff, but the end result was that it didn't work. At first we blamed the retention of the original 29.97fps as too heavy for the Dash's meager processor, but even when I edited the ini file to transcode at 15fps the problem continued.
I have copy of Womble Mpeg Video Wizard DVD on my machine which I generally use for editing TV shows I have recorded to my hard drive before burning to DVD-RW's for watching in the living room.
I poked around with it and it would allow me to transcode the .Vob files to mp4 files for an iPod @ 15fps. That worked like a charm. then just number the files sequentially so they play in the right order.
Basically any video editor or transcoding software that will allow you to convert a .vob file (found by exploring the DVD) to an ipod format will work
Good luck
i havent converted one in a while but i use dvd fab decrypter 4 platinum. which has the option to rip file from dvd to mobile. Then if i want to stetch a widescreen image to it fills the whole screen, i use pocket divx encoder

Hello guys,
Just a survey on which version of TCPMP you guys use for your device. Was trying different different versions and builts to see which one runs best. For starters, I used "TCPMP-0.72RC1-ARM-PPC-SUBTITLES-iriki-repack01.cab" which ran really smooth with SRT subs on a couple of roms (6.1 as well as 6.5) that I've tried. The downside is that I couldn't get it to play flv, and its not accepting the flv plugins I've put in.
Next, I tried the TCPMP 2009 Phenom Edition. Its plays avi with srt subs as well but its not as fast as iriki's repack, even when I use GDI. Frames were skipped and the audio doesn't seem to go along with the video. Again, it didn't play the flv videos I've downloaded from youtube.
I know this doesn't answer your question - but why on earth more people don't simply use Media Player I'll never know - I have used mp4's and the like with Media Player and they have played VERY well. Used TCMP before and not been impressed.

I was going to London over the weekend, and had just downloaded a couple of programmes that I watch on a weekly basis. I download AVI files, and normally bung them on a USB stick and watch them via my PS3. In this case, I simply copied them to the memory card in my HD and watched them on the train. Basically, it meant that I didn't have to convert the files in order to watch them with WM Player.
It plays more formats than WM Player, and is more configurable. It's not a knock to WM Player. It just does more.
Also, in fairness, TCPMP doesn't play WMV files well at all. You get about 1 frame every 3 seconds. I obviously use WM Player for them.
@Abubakar
I've not tried playing FLV files with TCPMP, but for youtube stuff I want to keep, I use www.keepvid.com, and download MP4s. I use v0.61 and don't have any issues with it at all - works a treat.

Ahh.. ALright I'll give v0.61 a try. Thank you for your reply!
Does anyone know why Zune software is converting WMV video before syncing with HD7, and how to stop auto conversions?
When in zune collection and music click settings near top right corner and look in there.
There are settings for music to convert if quality higher then XYZ or never convert ut until now I have not found a way to stop video. However if you were to stop it you would not be able to play it. My Zune only converts formats it does not recognise.
It copies with no cnversion m4v, mp4 and wmv.
Yes, no option for video...Is there a way of by-passing Zune and drop files into phones folder?

For now no. Again zune will only play specific formats and if your video is already in it desktop zune will not convert.
Thank You.
m4v and mp4 are converting when i try to sync, is there a way to stop this once start (ie tell it not to sync any more).
why are they converting anyway?
Zune Automatically converts videos to a format that is usable on the phone.
Just because it's an AVI video, that doesn't mean the phone can play that specific codec. Also, some bitrates, etc. may not be supported (not sure on that).
Windows Media Player does the same thing for Windows Mobile 6.x, and even DoubleTwist does the same thing for Android devices.
Also, Zune uses MP4 formats. There is no Windows Media player in Windows Phone 7. It's a Zune HD with a phone.
This is like complaining why iTunes is converting you WMAs to AAC before syncing them to you iPhone... ... ... ...
Media Synching software has been doing this for close to a decade, if not longer.

Bolox a 720p Family guy blue harvest in divx (my own copy) was converted to mp4 but resolution was not lowered.
A 720p family guy something dark side in mp4 was converted to mp4 but resolution was not lowered or audio adjusted.
A stock resolution death race in wmv was at first not recognised by zune but worked ok in WMP and microsoft movie maker as a wmv file. After that zune suddenly recognised it but still converted it to wmv before copying.
A mobile resolution 320x240 family guy seazon 8 in wmv was not converted at all it was saying converting percenteg went to 5% and then suddenly 100% and it was syncing.
There is an issue there with zune not knowing what it does.
What is bolox?
There are different version of the Windows Media codec. That's not telling much. Do you have a list of which WM Codecs the Zune HD/WP7 supports?
Most media players will transcode unsupported formats to a supported format when you sync files to the phone.
Lots of them will also convert pictures to a supported format as well.

Yep right wmv being microsoft code wmv = windows media video yet it still transcodes them. On top of that PC with no extra codecs just what is in win7, plays it so why it would not be the same?
On top of that I compress videos always with the same profile. Some videos get converted some do not.
One more windows live movie maker from windows essentials 2011 has option to save in windows phone format. Which is specific resolutions and codec (mp4) with no ability to change anything in that, unlike other profiles, yet zune still converts that to mp4.
Check your facts before posting. Microsoft introduced those profiles just wp7 release and they do not work.

Ruscik, I am following a similar issue and am trying to push MS into enabling avi containers, but like you mention this issue is much bigger then I initially thought.
Would you please be so kind to raise your concern in these posts:

Back from holiday and posted my greef on ms forum plus many more.
What is the best software for converting a DVD to a small format for watching in a phone or tablet? Like in .AVI format? I used to use SPB Mobile DVD but that isn't supported anymore. Thank you!
