what program do you guys use to convert movies to watch on your trinity- i use pocket dvd studio but that tells me i have to use WMP to watch them....
i love core player though- sounds better for music so assuming movies will be better too....

I use SPB Mobile DVD, Works excellent..

Some update:
Sometimes the bug appears again, and only when you do a soft reset it disappears. Not a big issue for me

Excellent piece of software, though I WISH there was a way to get AC3 working in it.

Two months ... No new Base ROM Build

It is almost 2 months since Kavana sent us 080408. While Rick has given us many refreshes of content since, we are still on the same build of the WM 6.1 OS.
Judging from the frequency of updates for various PPCs and PPC Phones, and the lack of them for Smartphones such as the S620, it must be very difficult to get your hands on a Smartphone ROM.
Is there any likelihood of an update soon ?

for me, i'd like to see better support of bluetooth via activesync. Since the 6.1 upgrade i've not been able to connect via activesync via bluetooth. And truse me, i've done everything i can think of to get this to work. Tried both toshiba and bluesoleil stack with no luck.

no, im not using a dell laptop, just a bluetooth dongle that uses the toshiba BT stack.... of yes! of course! i'd like these steps. Just pm me or aim me (or yahoo) as not to flood this thread with instructions for this, since its not related to the reason for this thread.

I've got a dongle that I think uses the MS stack. I can sync via bluetooth in Vista 64 no problemo.

I'd like to see the auto-complete in the To: field in messaging. This is supposed to be a feature of WM 6.1. I had it on my Moto Q9m running WM 6.0 and it is a big time saver.

Kavana is just in a deep sleep thats all lol.

I've tried several ROMs and i just can't imagine how to improve on Kavanas ROM. Everything just works. Great Job.

Have you installed programs such as: TCPMP, CorePlayer, or the HTC Streaming Media Player? Each of these will play streaming vids (such as YouTube). As a matter of fact, Technology has posted several codecs in one of his threads which accompanies the TCPMP player. Last night, I watched a video on YouTube (via Excalibur) which was an uncanny resemblance to the quality on my PC! Crystal clear.

I see that you have mastered my picture pixel crystall clear video resoluton quality technology via the codecs pak for the 320X240 Screen(LCD Blue-ray HD)(LOL). You are the man, I know it works like a charm, now tell the other 50,000,000 people that, glad it works for you....!

Excalibur Screen 320X240 LCD QVEGA
With the Excalibur screen the video enhancement is unlimited with the LCD structure, thats why you are getting the super enhance video resolution quality, it accepts a digital signal better than a lot more expense device like the "Tilt"! Now to prove my point go to http://mobile.ardcorp.tv, this company broadcast in a high digital video quality for mobile devices (They Even Call It HDTV). This company offer the highest video resolution resolution quality for the Excalibur and several other devices. That's why I will never ever argue with people that will say, this is the highest video resolution you get for the Excalibur 320X240 screen, not true, that is a false statement as you can see for yourself...............!

Sorry for the delay, Solja! Tech will definitely point you in the right direction as to what to download from his threads. I've personally found TCPMP to be the best grade of quality when viewing streaming video (with the codecs in the thread I mentioned earlier). I didn't think it was possible for video to be as clear (and uninterrupted) on the Excalibur. I was using EDGE, mind you! lol Imagine what kind of quality a Wi-Fi connection would provide!

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.
Its main features are:
- 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, vod, 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.
The link to the setup file is here:

I hope you enjoy it.

Nobody has tested?

Great work!
I have a feeling most others probbably use some other application...
But don't let this stop you. Please keep us informed of updates.
I will try this when I get a free moment
Thanks

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

Big News! rmplugin(not rmsplitter) for tcpmp!!

It's a rmplugin for tcpmp developed by ghosting from pdafans.com(Chinese).
Source: bbs.pdafans.com/viewthread.php?tid=884413&extra=&highlight=&page=1
It was tested on Xda flame with rv40+aac,rv30+cook(low bitrate).
But it didn't play so smoothly with rv40+aac(640*480,25fps,600kbps).
important: try to import the fix.reg while your rm video can't be played.
Sorry for my BAD English....

These are nice news indeed Did the author rlease the source code for this (and if so could you post it here? pdafans doesn't allow to view posts unless you're a member...).
The plugin seems to piggyback on dlls compiled from mplayer by ajeet (version 0.3).
Just tried and it works quite well (apart from a display issue if "Pixel Aspect Ratio" is set to "Auto"... the image becomes too stretched...).

the author said he would release the source code soon.
but until now I didn't see the source.
Maybe the Mplayer on ppc and this rmplugin share the same binary code from real, I think.
in addition, thank you for your introduction to this new mplayer.

Those are good news
TCPMP has been seeing a lot of action lately. bimbam69 did some much needed updates and improvements and even skin support to TCPMP.
ajeet hasn't released his sources yet... Don't know if those plugins can be compiled direcly from mplayer without any modifications... If not we'll have to wait for him to update these components or release the sources.

Sorta works... Sorta doesn't...
Just downloaded, currently testing... So far, the .rmvb files I have will parse, and I can hear the audio just fine, unfortunately I could do the same with my previous rmsplitter plugin. I still cannot see video however. I get the error message "RealVideo9 not supported!" any ideas? Is this an improvement over just the rmsplitter plugin? and if so, which RealVideo formats does it support?

Video works for me...
Try deleting the old rmsplitter and the whole TCPMP registry subkey using a registry editor...

Final Report
frmariam said:

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
As it turns out, I did not need to delete the subkey, It appears .rm files encoded using RealVideo9 cannot be played, but .rm files encoded using older versions of RealVideo can. During testing, I also noticed that audio and video were out of sync, with the video playing approximately .5 to .7 seconds faster than the audio playback. Also, the video tended to freeze at points with high motion, then jump forward to a almost synced point. Compared to the .rm plugin for PWMP, the video playback is a cut above, smooth and crisp, if a bit choppy. However, the PWMP version has slightly better audio synchronization, with the audio stopping when the video did, even with chop. This plugin is a significant step forward in the area of RealMedia playback, but more testing/development is needed, especially in the areas of removing .dll dependencies altogether, and improving audio/video synchronization though this may be a hardware issue. I am definitely looking at this as a valuable addition to my Master Codec Pack once development is complete.

The video playback portion is done by the dll files that were done by ajeet...
In his thread some users reported they needed to use add LoadModuleLow, 1 (reg name, value) to use them but I personally didn't experince this (did you import the fix.reg file to your registry?). Then again other users in ajeet thread were also not able to watch real video.
ghosting won't be able to update these since ajeet never released the source (also the latest version of wince mplayer doesn't even come with the rv20, rv30 and rv40 dlls).

Actually, I entered all the reg entries manually, and playback works almost flawlessly with lower bitrate files, not perfect, but as I mentioned previously, a significant step foreward. I also had no problems once the reg values were loaded. now what did you mean by: "add LoadModuleLow, 1 (reg name, value)" ?

What I meant was to do exactly what you did (entering those reg keys)...

try to import fix.reg...

Hey great news a new plugin
But unfortunatly I can't get it to play real media files Can you post some test files, because all files i have can't be played. I downloaded some test files from http://service.real.com/realplayer/test/.
Also there is an idea for dev who is workin on it a ffmpeg has its native decoders for realmedia.

@bimbam69
How did you download the files (I couldn't... those were just the streaming protocol links)?
Try mplayer sample database

I've downloaded those files using rmDownloder Anyway thanks for link to some not bad collection of test files
Tried real media videos from there ant some files were played on tcpmp. Plugin works for me without adding reg values.

thank you........

Video playback not smooth, and aspect ratio wrong

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.

Results are excellent on the Desire's screen.

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.
