hello,
I would like to view DivX with my hero.
I buy yxflash,
his will not launch divx?
I tested several DivX?
Thank you
what converter you are using to convert those video?
And what format you unable to play?
what converter you are using to convert those video?
Divx is AVI am i right?
yxflash can read avi file but it's so bugged...
yes my problem too in HERO.I'm Waiting For Core Player http://twitter.com/corecodec
with me and my hero it works well!
It worked with the stock 1.5 Hero Rom.
Since I am on Modaco 3.1, it only plays 2 seconds.
if im not wrong the screen size of the vidoe should meet/near our hero screen size.
As i try many format, e.g... .3gp, .m4v(with screen isze of ipod/iphone/apple tv, mp4 .avi, divx .avi, divx plus HD .mkv, mobile .divx, .flv, .wmv & zune .rv
only those format with nearer to hero screen size work well. & some format like flv, avi, rv & divx does not work.(might due to the screen size too)
as i using soe free coventer that i unable to adjust the screen size unless i purchase full version.
if anyone could provide any free video converter that able to adjust the screen size i would like to try again & will let those who purchase xyflash user or going to purchase know & to consider of purchasing or not.
I try with PocketDivXEncoder,
http://www.pocketdivxencoder.net/EN_index.htm
I converted a divx 700MB total 220MB in 320x184 for PocketPC and I have the same problem
it's amazing to not have a divx player for hero

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.
converted some films to MP4 and on core player they are very stuttery
res 720 x 480
what are the best set up settings people are using for core player
thanks in advance
i play movies with CorePlayer without converting them.
I just copy paste my 700Mb AVI/DivX (1h30 min) movie onto my memory card, and it plays perfectly : smooth playback, and clear picture.
So need to convert anything.
I use the basic settings from Coreplayer... Works out of the box !
Even with my old Kaiser, it was playing well after some tweaking.
+1 same here...no conversion needed. I play a 1 1/2 hours avi movie with coreplayer with the default setting directly from my microSD 16GB with no problem. Smooth running too. Btw, this is my first time watch a full movie on my TP2, usually i only watch a small clip/trailer movie.
Very impression performance too.
Hunt down the pocketnow.com TP2 review. In one of their videos in the review, they do some benchmarking and come up with their ideal resolution and bitrate. It may not be final for you, but it's bound to be useful info.
use built in player for mp4 format! it uses the hardware effectively! i dont think coreplayer can utilize the hardware optimally nevertheless it is a good video player for many formats.
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.
I want to store a heap of video files on the phone for travelling for 6 weeks. Can anyone make any suggestions on the best combination of video player and video compressing tools for the HTC Desire?
I used Handbrake to compress videos (and meridian to watch it), but I hate doing it, because it takes time.
With new avi players, soon it won't be necessary.
Rock divx player is already (in beta version) capable of playing regular divx/xvid avi videos (624x352) in great frame rate, but doesn't support subtitles at current version.
yx player supports subs, but framerate is an issue.
so, rock divx will be answer to our prayers for sure
Both hands up for "Rock Player"!!!
i use h263 on handbrake, which is ipod legacy.. unfortunatly h264 seems to be unsuppoted
+1 Rock player. Plays divx/xvid videos with relative ease!
I need to compress the files for phone size though as it would be a waste of space to have standard size files? I will look at rock player though.
I'm looking for a good converter which converts .avi to .mp4. I was using this one for my Touch Diamond 2 but I think the bitrate and stuff could be higher now when I got a Desire with better specs.
I used this one: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=467112
I use Format Factory, it does a pretty good job and is free.

Look at Xilisoft software. Not free but good for pretty much any video/audio convrrsion.

I have compared different converters and I recommend Convert-tune to download and convert video and audio easily.
It converts music and movies, and also burn files on CDs. The converter is
easy to install and use.
when using Xilisoft program i had many audio/video , synchronization problems ...

Stick with that converter. It's awesome and there is no point in increasing the bitrate because the screen resolution and dimensions are the same. Increasing the bitrate will not show higher quality pictures.
AVS Video converter 6 is hands down the best converter i have used. Its not free, but its a good investment because it pretty much converts anything you throw at it. Even .mkv.
I use Handbrake on the Mac, think there is a PC version as well, works great.
+1 for Handbrake
You can pretty much just use the iPhone preset. You might need a laptop with some horsepower but it's worth using the h264 codec to reduce file size

You could just use RockPlayerBase to play the AVI instead of waiting for it to encode?
Tried using handbrake but neither Rock or the native player will recognise the m4v or mp4 file - any suggestions?

Why would you wanna use RockPlayer to watch .mp4? Just don't encode the videos.. leave them .avi or whatever, RockPlayer will play it. If you have .mp4 from beginning just use the inbuilt player.
Because I'm trying to save space and cram as many in to the memory card as I can - it's for a 6 week holiday so I want to take as much as I can. 700MB / file is un-necessarily large for a phone?
Well, I got a 32GB SD card right now and that's alooooot of movies.. I don't know what you got but converting to mp4 isn't saving so much space.
I thought a 700MB filecould be halved quite easily without any noticeable loss in quality, perhaps not? I want to take about 30 files with us, so a 16GB card or two won't be enough. We'd need 20 - 25GB of micro SD storage! With that much to carry around for an extended holiday, any saving of space would be substantial. The native player does seem to play the .avi files the files are currently stored in, however it seems a waste to keep them in their current size for such a small screen?

Impossible unless of course the "video" happens to be a plain black image

I know you want to get 10 posts, but try posting in newer threads, instead of resurrecting 3 year old ones.
Get mx player and play a avi movie and it starts laggings so I change the codec at top right corner to sw and the video was playing perfectly no lag.
