My knowledge of formats,computers and mobile devices are pretty crap IM learning so please 4give me......
I want watch a full length film on my handset n having few problems
Wat format i need the film be? I downloaded films in mp4,and .avi there on my PC
But the file is understandably massive,do i compress it using winzip? Just i tried and dnt seem 2transfer over takes ages anyideas or pointers would b grateful thanx
mp4 or avi are ok. normal size for a movie in good quality is about 1 Gb. don't compress it.
if your movies are larger you can use a tool which is in this forum, just search for video converter for blackstone.
Ok i try thnx gr8 help....all i need do is run mp4 or .avi movie though tool tht should wrk should it ttake long 2 transfr,?
This is the link to the tool you need, but with the slow write speeds it will take a while to transfer the file to your device.

ive been trying to play vids on my dash but the lag is unbearable
i searched and got a few things but nothing.. mp4 default didnt work not even avi for pocket pc
i dont get why avi for pocket pc didnt work...may need a codec but it plays the first sec. and stops...well pauses.
There's a bit about video here
What are you using as a player?

mine play perfect with no skips but im not ripping them from dvd. what i do is take divx (avi) files from dvd rips that i *cough* acquire *cough* from...places..anyway.. i take those files and use pocket divx encoder (which is free) and i shrink them down to pda size. i select xvid and i bump the frame rate to 30.000. you can adjust the sound and picture quality depending on how small you want the file to be. they all play perfect and a 700mb file usually ends up being about 250mb - 300mb
what player are you using?
if you are trying to download flash files from like youtube or something....i use that same software to convert them too. just seems to make it smoother.
also a lot of us overclock to the phone to make things a bit smoother overall

im just too cheap to buy the dvd which is why i go with divx rips
I also use the pocket divx encoder and my movies play perfectly with pretty good quality. Like gixxum said you can re-align the audio track if it seems a little off.

Is there a better way to Play Videos on Dash
I tried alot of different movies and music videos but they don't show to good.. So I was wondering is there anyway to get movie or videos playing better on the Dash?? Is there a app or something I could use to play movies better?? I mean I tried .wmv, .avi, .3gp and none of they all played pretty lousy...
Besides TCPMP because I tried installing it and it said "Unsuccessful because it wasn't made for my phone" and I don't know if it was because I used the wrong one or what..
Thanks In Advance...

Try istalling the TCPMP/Player in my YouYube WizzStar thread, the download is located in post # 1, that one is beefed up a little and should give you very good video resolution quality. Install it too your SD card. It will work on the Dash, I know that already! Let me know how things work out for you.......!

Thanks again
what is the better video format and size for the s620 ?
and what software should i use ?
help please
Mp4 is the best in terms of quality, but Mp4 videos take up more space.

.mp4 is the best to use to recode good quality films for dash @ 320 x 240, just keep the bitrate low, mono sound about 92kbps will keep the size down.
You can use SUPER © http://www.erightsoft.com/SUPER.html it's free.
I use A-One FLV to AVI as i use it for YouTube but will encode any file to .mp4.
Consider using 3gp format. The quality is good and the file size is small. There are a number of 3gp converters available.
thanks
im interested in quality and speed not the mb
thanks guys
well. i converted a video with that program "super" to mp4 and it works very crapy and slow
can somewone please tell me exact the format file,video format,sound format,rezolution exactly for the videos to convert ?

The MB will play a big factor in quality as the larger the file the harder it is for the Dash to read the ammount of data to frames.
Anyway .mp4 is the best mobile codec.
320 x 240
Lower the bitrate and keep the fps the same as original source.
Already commented on sound.
Oc'in your device will also help with playback and having a good media player on Dash?

im using windows media player
dont know other good player..

there is a much better one ?

Well don't use a frog but TCPMP will do it, you will want your vid's in .mp4 to which there is loads of software available for mobile conversion online Super © is a free one.
The trick is to keep the file size down you can do this via mono sound as the speaker on phone is mono and keep the bitrate down and also keeping the bitrate down on the video.
Hope this helps it is covered in other threadz on here.
there is an alternative , divx mobile . http://www.divx.com/mobile/requirements.php
average size when using divx converter for a full length movie is ~ 200 - 250 mb.
using it on my htc s621 , flashed with kavana's 6.1 rom .
I tried putting a small video clip on my memory card. When I open it it plays like it's in slow motion, and it's really choppy. The audio for the clip plays in normal speed.
so a few questions...
Is there a best format of video files for my excalibur?
Is there mabey a player better than windows media player?
I hacked my psp a few years back. I was able to download full movies and watch them on it. I may be asking too much... but I'm wondering if it's possible to do this with my phone.
when I'm at work with my phone in my hand the ol' boss doesn't mind. Of course when I'm hanging on to a game system.... the **** hit's the fan!
Here you are a free bit of software that can recode videos http://www.erightsoft.com/SUPER.html download link @ bottom there is lot's of speal...
I use A-One FLV to AVI but it's not free, there is alot of software that can do it.
I recomended SUPER as i know lots of peeps use it, so set the resolution 320x240 keep bitrate down on video larger it is larger output file, audio can be set to mono and again about 64kbit/s and still be fine, .mp4 is a good quality for Mobile video or for even more compression .3gp
Re: Player TCPMP "to which is free" or CorePlayer "the pay version"
I've tried downloading TCPMP. When I try installing it I get a message that the install package isn't designed for my device.
this is where I'm downloading it from.

Is there a different version that I need to use?

Try VLC Media Player you will want codecs CCCP is XP & Vista compatable "if you have any other codec packs installed then do not install"
well i actually wanted to start a mobile movie thread
like..i will be encodeing movies for mobiles..which will play without a hitch...and patches...
and uploading them on rapidshare or megaupload..
sooo what say??
what happens if you run out of battery in the middle of a movie, can you fastforward it afterwards and in an "easy" way? If it's possible, it depends on the video format, video player or both?
Just done an initial test of video playback on the Desire. Used an MP4 which was encoded at 640x480 fro my iPhone, and I know the file is good. This plays back jerkily, and is not wide enough on screen.
I have tried yxflash and playback is poor.
Can the Desire play back this format smoothly, and can it adjust the aspect ratio in the player?
What are the recommended file types/sizes/encoding for the Desire?
well i think the reason it's not wide streched is because the width of the video is 480px and the width of desire too so it cannot expand to the whole wide height since the video's height is 640 and desire's is 800!! my opinionas i see it
800x480. Perhaps use the HD Encoder tool found on the Blackstone forumns here. Encodes videos perfectly for this resoultion.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=467112
Tell us how it goes. Remember to use this from the source video, and not your already converted videos which are lower res and not widescreen
Thanks. I'll give that a go.
have you tried this yet? Any luck?
There is also DoubleTwist, which acts as an iTunes replacement. I tried this, but it is extremely slow at encoding video, although it does work, and the quality is OK.

Fantastic program. Have converted avi's and even 720p mkv files.
Results are excellent on the Desire's screen.
Highly recommended

It's a bit of a shame that video playback is pretty poor, Hero was the same. Don't know why HTC choose to do this everytime, make a fantastic device and spoil it by sticking in a inferior software.

I would use defaults. By default it's set to the correct resolution. Depends if you are converting a SD or HD, then choose from the two checkboxes to the left of the resolution. That's it. Just add the files you want to convert, choose a destination folder and go for it.
Let us know how it goes.

sorry for being so dumb but could you tell me where to put the movie file once its converted ( in the phone that is ) as i tried to put it in pic,s but it never showed up on the phone after tranffer
lots of thanks
can someone please make a boot animation of bumble bee or optimus prime transforming
I could use one of those as well.
that sounds like it would be "off the hook!" somebody should jump on this.
I made one last year with the autobot symbol, where the eyes flashed. . But boot animations have come a long way since then... ill see what i can do, but i cant promise anything, im really busy these days...
Try this,
do i copy that to the sd card like six's instructions in his boot animations?
Yup. exactly the same way.
thanks man i finally got around to putting it on my phone
i wish i knew how to do this stuff i wanna get bumblebee the way he transforms in the movie
Ok if u guys want to create some urselves this is how i did it.
Get one of these utube videos, these r gud Link
Then download it using an online converter, i download at hd quality as mp4
Now i used vidcrop to crop the length of the video as well as the resolution.
Then once i exported the video from vidcrop, i used avcutty to dump them as bmp.
Then i used faststone photo resizer to convert them to png's at the same time controlling the quality of the images so they dont end up being 10mb each
Thats it, then just place them inside a extracted bootanimation.zip and rezip it WITHOUT compressing.

What up Danesh I went to the link you posted which I have to say those transforming vids are badass but than I started thinking why not use the actual vids from the movie when they are transforming. I this is crazy question is it possible to have a short video downloaded in the same format you did and use your method to put into the booting file. Is it possible to videos in any format in the booting screen because this would open up the possibility to get any video thats short enough and perform this. And if not can some one on here find a way out to make that possible cause that would be just amazing Thanks.
Tried it on froyo by laszlo
it boot loops... wonder why
