sorry if this is the wrong place to post but i am a noob, is there a peice of software out there that can play all types of video on the hermes, if so were can i download it
Coreplayer or tmpc... Use search to find...
hey ... core player is what ur looking for. it can play any type of media without converting it .. eats some resources but its very worth it. it also has streaming support and everything. just google search it and ur there. hope this helps
thx so i can now watch anytype of video format and i dont have to convert it,but are all media file types the same size
If you are playing what I think you might be playing then even with Coreplayer the Hermes will not smoothly play standard definition stuff, i.e average 2.35 widescreen DVDRip done at 640*272 with Xvid around 1000kbps (Mgeg4-ASP). Don't even think about x264 films. (Mpeg4-AVC)
The Hermes screen is 320*240 so you will have to convert it.

hi
i have coreplayer 1.04
some time the movie slowes a little bit , i overclocked my cpu to 273 mhz , but its not smooth yet , anybody knows some tip why ? or what to do best ?
thanks in advance.
best one is
tcpmp there are a few people who have shared this file on the forum just search and download and install.
You can also try to resize you movies by using PocketDivx
This freeware program allows you to remove frames and resize to dpa format.
Where tcpmp is a player, the PocketDivx can fit a full movie in about 150 Mb.
Core player is TCPMP.
I am still using TCPMP, if you go into settings/advanced and tick a few boxes in there, less buffering over smooth video, slow video memory, see what happens. Mine is smother for having a play with the settings.
Read this in the Hermes forum that in tcpmp check the raw frame buffering in the video options really helps,and as uniqueboy has pointed out you also have to configure in settings/advance.
Yeah....I'm using that a well....i must use program....
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
Try this thread.

what kind of videos?
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.

worked pefectly
I read many threads in the forum regarding video on the HD and after hours spent trailing through a post which is now locked I settled on SUPER encoding to flash FLV files... only problem is if I feed it a 1.4gb H264 file (which the HD cant play) it ends up at 2.6Gb I still run the stock SD card 8Gb.
Am I missing a setting? I really wanna sort the video out on my HD! but would like the movies to stay similar size to the original rip....

Yep treid that one too... the files always end up waaaaay bigger than the orginal... I tried a 4Gb BRrip with that and it came out almost the size of the flash card....
Then you selected the wrong bitrate.
Assuming your movie is 90 minutes long, then using the "HD" setting bitrate of 750kbit/s your movie will be (750*60*90)/8/1024 = 494 MB.
What you are stating is not possible, unless your movie is 10 hours long or you manually entered an insanely high bitrate, such as 7500kbit/s, which is completely useless and which the Touch HD can not handle anyway.
The tool is coded for simplicity. If you don't understand what anything does, then you just add the files, select the output dir and press "start". Experimenting around by setting random options which you do not fully understand obviously will result in spectacular failure most of the time. So I recommend you to try it again. If it doesn't work, then let me know and I will fix it.
All this said, if you rather not use my GUI, then you can get an acceptable result with SUPER by using iPhone profile. The quality will be worse, seeking might be broken and it might slow down sometimes, but other than that, it should work.
I used a Blue Ray rip.... 4.5Gig..... it ended up at almost 6Gig....
I used the HD GUI you made because it was so easy.... just remoting into my server to see how the next one I'm trying is getting on.....
Have you tried using WinFF ~ http://winff.org/html/
I used to use SUPER but changed to WinFF because:-
1. It is quicker.
2. File sizes are smaller.
3. It is very easy to use.
4. It supports a number of devices including Mobile Phones, iPod etc.
Thanks Beards, I'll give it a go to...
I have got a file out of the encoder now that looks good!
But what the heck do I play it with...? I searched for media players and tried Core player and of course M$ Media Player... both are a no go... M$ wont even play it... and Core player with no access to GPU is also a no go...
Any players take advantage of GPU acceleration and play the outputs?

What settings on WinFF did you use to encode the video?
Ahhh... not got round to using that one yet... I was using the HD GUI made by projection, 4.5gb Blue ray rip source, 800x480 output.
Just wondered if someone could point me in the direction of a player that has enough grunt to play these rips? Core is Jerk'o'vision...

If you're using the HD GUI that was talked about above (great program, thanks to those who made it), then you should play the files in the TF3D video player

I had no idea there was one? Is it installed from the factory? I cant seem to find it?
atm the only hw accelerated players are htc album and wmp... the rest is software render...
another option to watch Movies "DivX Mobile Player v0.91 (30-Sep-2008)"
You can install "DivX Mobile Player v0.91 (30-Sep-2008)" and play those .avi movies (DivX, Xvid, etc) without converting. You can download here: http://labs.divx.com/MobileCommunity
It works fine for me... I'm using 8Gb microSD...

Where do I find the HTC player?
I've just tried DivX player... its not really as good as Core on mine for some reason... ?
Would really appreciate a pointer on GPU accelerated player
I've treid M$ media player... wont play it... core player not enough grunt and the HTC player people speak of... I cant find? searched all of my HD programs..
Dude, just skim along the TF3D menu to Photos and Videos.
If your video's in the default album it will appear as a thumbnail here if it isn't just use the Album button to browse to it.
Basically the HTC player they're on about i launched when you click on a thumbnail in the TF3D Photo's and Video's screen (or browse to an album location).
Yup - it was there all the time
Thanks mate... I understand now...
I guess MP4 isnt supported.... my movies arent there...
im about to buy core player and a new 8 gig micro card
i want to convert some of my SD and HD movies to use while on holiday
movies are in TS. or vob format at the mo
which is the best way to convert them to play using core player
thanks for any advice
i have tried encoder but the audio is always out of synce
thanks for any help
Try DVDFab
dvdfab is for copying my dvds what i want to do is convert film files i have on my pc into smaller files such as divx or mpeg 4 to play via core player
is there a universal tool to do this
edit found the mobile convertor in it but very limited no options to change res or audio and doesnt seem to work i click next and nothing as though it doesnt see the file types
i was playing with mediacoder last night, seemed to do the job for me. lots of settings as with any codec conversion process and u'll need to experiment to find the best codec/bitrate/resolution combination for you and ur media.
http://mediacoder.sourceforge.net/
just got core player
with WMP it plays my mpeg 4 conversion of monster inc no probs
with core player its very stuttery
file details are
Mpeg4
video avc aka h264
codec coreavc
video size
800 x 448
frame rate 25.00
i suppose what im looking for is to be able to convert the file to a format and res that core play will play smoothly
thanks for any advice

cant get this to run
keep getting msvcr71.dll was not found
download the eg fixer to cure it and says it cant be run on a 64 bit system
any help would be great
thanks
Didn't have a problem with it myself with vista x64.
I already had the Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime library installed and just used the 32bit version of mediacoder and didn't bother with the 64bit addons. Not having experianced the problem you have, I'm not really in a position to offer much more help than that. Sorry
If you keep having trouble with mediacoder, you could try SUPER. I used to use it, but found its UI a bit of a mess.
http://www.erightsoft.com/SUPER.html
I use Visualhub on OSX. It will specifically do H.264 MP4 videos made for iPhone and iPod Touch but you can also specifically set the resolution and the bitrate so you can specifically set for the TP2 screen. I get faster and higher quality video at the iPhone resolution especially since high bitrates choke on the TP2. Couple that with Coreplayer and it's a done deal.

Have you picked your source at the top of the screen?
but DVDFab is a shareware so here's a freeware for you
http://www.winnydows.com/page.php?2
more tools through google
With core player go menu/tools/preferences/select page/video
And put video out onto qtv display. Put video quality on high. Smooth zoom on.
Then try your mp4.
I find it best to convert videos to 320 x 194 or 320 x 176
The best video quality I have downloaded. (Trailers) .m4v but I can’t find any program that converts to that format
I've used Total Video Converter which has plenty of options and seems to work fine for me.

Visual hub (http://www.techspansion.com/) has been discontinued (sadly enough), but I use it as well. If you can get a copy somewhere, its really useful and piss easy to use. As an alternative i can also recommend Handbrake (http://handbrake.fr/). Its not as easy to use as Visual Hub, but it also produces great results which work very well with Core Player.
i have purchased core player and despite numerous request and lots of tinkering i still cant get it to play anything smoothly
films just stutter along
im converting dvds i have ripped on pc to mpeg 4 files with encoder
a typical file is converted to 720 x400 all standard settings and it still just stutters and the audio is well out of synce
even the built in player does a better job of it (but thats not perfect
can some one suggest the best way to convert them to play on core player
and what settings they use to get it play smoothly
thanks for any help
If by mpeg4 you mean H.264 then your best bet is the built in player (be it WMP or Album) as coreplayer doesn't support H.264 hardware acceleration on the TP2 (most current Qualcomm chips to be exact). If you wish to use coreplayer use Xvid (or Divx can also be okay).
There's actually a review stating the best settings for coreplayer. I don't remember more than that at the moment. sorry. But good luck
can you recommend a good converter for converting vob and ts files into xvid
thanks
Pocketdivxencoder is what I use. It is a great application for converting videos. And I'm guessing from the vob and ts files that your converting from DVDs
I've always liked super video encoder from erightsoft. It's free so it's a good option to try out.
