AVI Splitter (Directshow filter) questions... - Windows Mobile Software Development

Can someone confirm for me that the stock AVI Splitter that windows mobile comes with is sub-standard? By sub-standard, I mean that it cannot split AVI files that contain XVID video and MP3 audio? (I'm assuming that special AVI splitters were written for normal windows for this same reason.)
The reason I ask is that I think I've managed to compile an XVID directshow filter. I can hook it up manually with viewgraph... using:
Code:
File Async source -> AVI splitter ->XVID codec -> HTC DDR (renderer)
\->MPEG-1 Layer 3 Decoder DMO -> Audio Renderer
It WILL play, just upside down (due to HTC renderer), and it stutters quite a bit. It will stutter if I have the video or audio portion disconnected... which makes me think that it's the AVI splitter.
Maybe I have to write an AVI splitter filter (or borrow code from GABEST)

h.264 with coreplayer on hermes wm6?

hy all!
anyone tried this codec with aac audio? is the hermes strong enough?
30fps? 384kbit/s?
regards chief

oh, i know that coreplayer works on hermes and that coreplayer supports h264, but my question was: is the hermes with 400MHz able to decode this. and i mean for example a mp4 file, h.264 video and aac audio 128, 30fps, >348kbit/s
Hi, does anybody know how to open an H264-STREAM in Coreplayer Mobile or other application?
if you play with the settings h.264 files (in 320x240 res only) will play fine on my HTC Touch (400mz processor)
I played around with x264 transcoding a while back on my Hermes. It didn't play smoothly for me and I dropped the bitrate to <200kbps. Using the Coreplayer benchmark it came out at around 100% but this didn't provide fully smooth playback.
This was a while ago and the newest Coreplayer maybe more efficient, I will do some more testing and see if things have improved. (my settings were video 200kbps, Audio 24Khz 64kbps 320x240)
After some more testing I can confirm that it doesn't play smoothly on the Hermes. If you are watching material with few scene changes you can get away with it but as soon as any amount of movement is involved then you notice slow downs here and there.
I did a test on a scene with a car chase in it and after benchmarking it I got 98%. This was x264 200kbps, AAC 24Hz 64 kbps. For comparison using exactly the same setting for an Xvid file I got 458%.

MP4 converter for everyone!

Pazera Free MP4 to AVI Converter 1.1
This is a free utility to convert one or multiple movies that you can create with the built in camera on your dash/excalibur. I thought I would share this with you guys, I noticed I can play the movies on my phone but not in windows. This will allow you to convert videos from the phone to playable clips on your pc. Makes it a snap to youTube or Myspace!
Enjoy!

cool, thanks.

Please help 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.

Video codec issues? playback.

Hi everyone,
Just to a couple of questions.
When I record a wide screen 800x480 video with the phone it plays back fine on the phone. When I copy it to my PC it won't play the audio. I have tried using VLC player, and Windows Media player. No sound.
The file is a .3gp type file (I chose mp4 encoding). I think a missing codec called samr is required to get sound on the clips on the PC. Anyone know a way around this?
Secondly, I have lots of clips I would like to look at on the phone. I tried uploading a H.264 file (mp4 file) and it won't playback. plays fine on my PC obviously. Tried using a conversion program to resize it to the exact 800x480 in H.264. Still won't play on the phone. what conversion tool do you use and what codec must the file be to play on the desire. H.264 doesn't seem to work?
the tool that works for me is "Convert Any to DVD Professional 4.0.5). It has an option for Nexus one H.264 and you can also crop the conversion etc. Oter conversion programs did not work for me even though I chose H.264. strange.
I use Any Video Converter Pro.
Also used it for my Magic without problems.
Winmenc works nicely with h264 encodes, someone posted a profile on these boards. However there is a lipsync issue.
I cant seem to get handbrake working with h264 which is a pain because that is what I normally use.

Perfect XviD playback on the TP2

Since purchasing my TP2, I've labored under the belief (supported by a lot of other users) that xvid playback had to be choppy, and if I wanted smooth video (even encoded SD, 640x480ish), I had to convert my files to h264. I have an HTPC and compress all my shows into xvid, always have, and have no desire to change, so I basically abandoned watching video on my handset.
I was trying out a new tip today for better performance (muxing the same old files into an mp4 container without conversion) when my control file (same old avi/xvid to compare performance with) played absolutely perfectly. Not the hiccupy, choppy, 3-7fps I remember from when I first tried it, but smooth as silk. What the frak? I never even got around to trying my new tip out.
I grabbed an older file of the same show, also avi/xvid but WMP wouldn't open it and TCPMP played it at the 3-7FPS choppy unwatchable speed I remember from the old days. The only difference in the new file is that instead of using an mp3 audio track, I had stream copied the original AC3 audio track to deal with a sync issue I had with that particular recording. The video in both has the same xvid encoding by the same program with the same settings.
I'm preparing another test as I write to ensure that is the only difference between these two files. I'll take the same HD mpeg2, convert it into 1 xvid+mp3 and another xvid+ac3 with all other settings identical and compare their performance. I'll try mp2 audio as well (for my analog recordings). In the meantime, can anyone explain why mp3 audio would cause otherwise playable video of modest resolution to slow to a crawl?
