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?

Related question... How do I watch the phone-recorded videos on my PC after I pull them over via ActiveSync? I tried converting them with Handbreak but they are not recognized as a compatible format.

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?
Can anyone recommend a good dvd ripping app so that I can rip movies and convert them to watch on my evo... i can convert them using doubletwist, but I need something to rip them... don't know of a reliable freeware app
you'd think someone that's posted almost 500 times would know about the search tool...
or maybe, that's why you've posted so often.
try handbrake. works like a charm. google it, or look around here. plenty of threads about it already
the best app i've discovered for PC is DVDDecrypter. it works perfectly. allows you to select by chapters, or the whole DVD. good stuff!

4.36 gigs. that is from bd rip from my own bd disc. i use adobe cs4 converter to convert. dropped it on there and although it is a huge file, i am utterly impressed at the quality. stays constant audio and video sync and never drops framerate. blacks are amazing not inky at all and colors are very very vibrant.
but anyways if you are just going to view one movie every once in awhile like i do i recommend dropping 720p onto it. its easy and amazing

you can keep the quality and reduce the file size by a large amount by using handbrake. No need to have a 4gb file.

doubletwist
Doubletwist
Doubletwist is nice, for music and apps. But it rips movies 640 x 320 too small for the screen. There are no preferences I can find the change that. I am on a MAC and I have had great success converting my .AVI files with FFMPEG and the Mp4 presets. THe movies are about 800 megs and look great.
if anyone knows of a good app for converting mkv to mp4 id be interested i ripped all of Battlestar Galactica straight from Bluray disc source its in AVCHD format but i have mkv copies of whole series i could use if i could find easy way to transcode it losslessly or play it in mkv on android looking for a like VLC type video player for android
this is gonna sound weird, but AirVideo server for iPad(it streams videos to the iPad) it's the only app i've tried so far that will convert MKV with little to no quality loss. best part, it's free. just a suggestion.

Just a quick note... Unless you are playing the movie through hdmi on a 720p display, why would you be encoding 720p movies for a phone with a 800x480 display? 4.3gb sounds like a lot of wasted space for all those extra unused pixels.
For everyone else, handbrake is the free simple alternative. And for people that care to learn a few command line options, ffmpeg is fantastic. I get much smaller better looking files from the open source x264 compiled ffmpeg. But, configured correctly, handbrake can be a front end for ffmpeg anyway.
Download Daniusoft DVD Ripper.
It searches for your phone, connects, converts the movie and places it on your sd card in the correct folder. All by itself.

Also consider the wall I hit when I first tried ripping--I ripped the DVD at 800x480 with all the correct settings, but when I tried to throw it up on my HDTV via the HDMI output, my TV would not recognize the non-standard size.
So you have a choice: 1) rip to 720p if you are going to output via HDMI or 2) rip to 800x480 if you are ONLY going to view the movie on the phone.
Anyway to load and play digital copies onto our android phones? I have the htc evo 4g.
Yea....copy the movie(s) on to the sdcard and then use rockplayer to play them. Keep in mind not all file types will play, most will. Also HD movies might stutter.
You can try RockPlayer, VPlayer, and mVideoPlayer to play the movies once their own your SD. mVideoPlayer has a lot of polish to it.
Copy them to your SD card as m4v or mp4, not as wmv. Should play okay.
Thanks guys, well try when i get home.

Why not WMV???
Is there any codex downloads to add ??
I downloaded this DIVX demo thing and it plays WMV fine.. I tried some of the programs mentioned in this thread and none play them.

Because the EVO won't play wmv without adding a program to do so. You added a program that does, which is fine, but that was not the question the OP asked.

Umm b ut it wont play .AVI or many other formats either.. But you (and others) always specifically mention "Not WMV files"
why? they play just as fine as any other format and as it seems everything but what you actually record needs a program..
Basically, why are people always saying not to do WMV but everything else is fine?

Because the codecs natively used in the wmv containers are not supported natively in the evo.
To the op, none of the market players will play digital copies no matter what they say. I have about six movies on my evo and all were digital copies. I had to screen capture them because android in general will not currently play drm content and dc's have drm. Understand that the market players can only play content with no type of protection on them such as drm. At this time, there is no way to watch pure digital copies.
Depending on what studio the DVD with the digital copy came from, the files themselves are either going to be protected mp4's or protected wmv's. Neither of which will play on an Android device. If the file is an mp4, it *might* play if you strip the protection off, but I have no clue as to how easy or possible that is. A wmv won't play whether it is protected or not as far as I know.

Copy over as iTunes
As mentioned earlier, if it has playback protection like Disney puts on their digital copy, it won't play.

Check http://www.doom9.org/ for help in ripping your DVD's. Much easier than dealing with DRM'd studio copies.
Just google search Step by Step Guide on How to Play AVI on HTC Desire/Evo/Hero?
you will find a simple guide on how to play avi on htc, it also helps to play other video like flv, mkv, mp4, wmv, 3gp, and more on htc
Thanks not the OP but I still found this thread useful and informative

The OP is a real n00b asking stupid questions and probably not even heard of using Google to find answers
I use the program iSquint on my mac. Though its only for videos i want on my ipod touch.
You can download Vplayer or Rockplayer to play almost all formats of video. I personally like Rockplayer.

MKV files are shells which might contain codecs that the E4GT might support. If it doesn't then you will have to convert it. So far everything I've loaded has worked, including subtitles.
I tried all the media players and the best one is MX Video Player. MX has swipe controls, ability to switch from H/W to S/W decoding on the fly, and uses FFMPEG to play unsupported codecs. Dice is also good, but it's not free. QQPlayer is also nice and uses FFMPEG like MX and Dice. BSPlayer is great for the PC, but right now has bugs on Android. Still waiting for VLC to come out for Android.
