Anyone have any ideas? What are the supported video formats?
Windows Media player plays WMV format.
You'll need to put another player on your device to play AVI and so on.
Google it!!!!
Anyone know what is the best setting for smooth video playback when viewing in Touch Pro 2?
I have download the Transformers 2 Trailer in FLV format and playback on my Touch Pro 2 but it seems to be laggy.
Anyone can advise me whether it is the video format problem or the phone memory problem as I have installed many applications.

Can only get on youtube through my Rhodium at work but isn't that video HD?
It's got a pretty fast processor for a phone but it's still only 533MHz, it can't playback HD content!
I've seen a couple of DivX movies (700MB each) on my TP2 and I have no lag issues...
In fact, I did had that, but back then I was using the player supplied with DivX codecs for Windows Mobile. Once I started using Core Player, the "lag" was gone.
I'll try that YouTube HD video in FLV format and get back to you.
BTW, what player are you using?
Yea i have no issues at all with any video format with coreplayer with the exception of mkvs.

I am also using Core Player for playing back the above FLV format file.
Sorry for the delay guys, but during my video speed testing , I found that although Core Player is supposed to play MP4 files (so they say), on my TP2 Core Player says "Player: Video codec (AVC aka H.264) not supported by the player!". So it seems that I have no H.264 codecs installed, which is strange because the H.264 codec is quite common on DivX. Well, I guess the movies I've been playing were not H.264 encoded.
This happened because I downloaded (without converting) both Transformers 2 trailers (LowRes and HD) from that link. The LowRes version came in FLV format (4MB), and the HD is a 33MB MP4 file. The FLV plays flawlessly without hiccups or delays.
I'm still searching for H.264 codecs for Windows Mobile, and will report back to this topic after installing and testing the video.
The HTC player will playback mp4's encoded with H.264, so long as they're Standard Definition with stereo audio.

I have download the same file again by copying the Videoplayback file in FLV Format from Internet Explorer Temporary Files Folder, file size is 12.2MB instead of 4MB.
How you can get 4MB and how you download the Low Res file? The playback is a bit jerky and not so smooth but after comparing the original one in YouTube, it is also a bit jerky and not smooth so there is nothing wrong with the Touch Pro 2 Playback as the problem lies on the source itself.
What you wanna do is get Coreplayer.
Encode your videos into Divx with vertical res. of 720 or under and keep the bitrate under 1500kb/s.
Great image quality with approx 112% playback speed.

I have used Coreplayer for playback.
Tried encoding "The Black Knight" Movie in the below format :
1) Width x Height (704 x 296)
2) Bit Rate (64kbs)
3) Audio Format (Lame MP3)
4) Frame Rate (23 frames/second)
5) Data Rate (1031 kbs)
6) video Sample Size (24 bit)
7) Video Compression (XVID)
There is some portion of the playback jerky and not smooth, any problem with the above settings?

You could try downloading that little encoding program.
It encodes your files into the perfect format for HTC Album. The user interface of the program is very easy and it encodes your files so that they play with full resolution and a good bitrate. Hope I could have been of help. All credit goes to it's creator.

I used a Firefox addon that "strips" the contents out of the pages (videos, sounds, SWF, ...). It can also be used to convert to other video formats while downloading, but I didn't use this feature as I wanted to test with the real deal.
I double-checked just now, and the smaller file (LowRes) is 4.76MB and it's fully functional and it plays 'till the end. The HD is 33,9MB. Perhaps there's a different file version when you stream directly from the internet... it doesn't make much sense, but I'm just guessing.
I didn't had time to continue searching for the right codecs yet. But I'll give it a go tomorrow. I'm sure I was not the 1st to experience this "issue" and the codecs "should" exist somewhere... so I hope.

Thanks for your recommendation and I recode the video again, it is much smoother playing over the WMP.
Will use this program to encode future DVD or Video for playback in my Touch Pro 2.
hello every body,i have some problems on my artemis when i am on youtube.com and i try to see a movie is seing ( cannot play the file.The file is either corrupted or the player does not support the format you are trying to play)if some on can help me with a new player.

Do a search for TCPMP it's free and plays just about anything
I discovered that MX Player will stream H.264 encoded files with AC3 audio from Windows shares I can browse to with ES File Explorer (it will stream most other video files as well).
The only thing is, the device doesn't recognize mkv as a file extension for video, so it won't even let me choose a program to open the file. If I simply rename the extension to mp4, it will stream on MX Player smoothly, without any issues with frame skips or audio. Even with the mp4 extension, the stock video player will not play them. If I copy the files to the device, the stock player plays them without a problem.
On my OG Galaxy Tab, mkv files are considered video. Stock player will not stream them, but MX Plyer will. However, it's so slow and skippy that they're unwatchable.
Is there a way to associate mkv files with video? I don't really want to have to rename the file extension every time I want to watch the video.
ETA: Okay, I figured it out. If you long press on the file in ES File Explorer, you can Open As video. It will not play HDTV .ts files smoothly, however.
WMV isn't playing in H/W mode. I purchased MXplayer and I'm having difficulty playing back WMV files. They play, but the audio and video is not in sync. The video is slowed down and I noticed that the videos only play in S/W mode. Any way to fix it? I'm currently playing back multiple types of WMV files mainly school lectures in WMV format.

Did you DL the A7+Neon codec plugin?
Also, can be supported natively, but you have to add a few lines to the media encoder xml file. You can find a guide in the N7 forum somewhere.
Is this the thread you are talking about GSLEON3?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2517925
That is the thread for native. Also go to Play Store & download the MX A7+Neon codec app. It enables MX to handle more formats. Above will just allow them to be HW rendered, or played in the stock gallery app.
