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)
(moved this post from the general hacking forum)
although the Epic 4G Touch could play most videos, some of my videos (mp4,avi,divx) could not be played(it has sound but no picture) and the way to solve it is to download a video player on market on use software decoding which eats up cpu usage which in turn eats up battery life
according to THIS, it should be able to play almost all format there is available but that isn't always the case.
so basically what i am looking at is
*hardware accelerated Video/Audio Codec
*convert the video to 480 x 800 (or close depending on the aspect ratio of movie)
*high bitrate (not too high that it would drain the battery life or the file would become too big and the quality is more like a placebo)
*Video/Audio Converter software that does the above list
i am thinking about h.264 but do not know what presets the E4GT supports
I use iSkysoft on my PC to convert to mp4 and have over 1200 movies. After the conversion all the android players work on all the movies. I also use Tversity to stream 800x480 over 4G and 320x240 over 3G. If streaming keep the bit rate of the conversion at 900kbs or lower. Otherwise, you will get buffering problems. $20 per year for a dynamic DNS to stream Tversity over any mobile browser on android from your PC. 320x240 is a little grainy. However, works very well with no buffering issues for in motion in your car. Tethering to a larger tablet also works well for in motion in the car.
I would like to have your feedback on the most energy efficient media player for our HOX's. I use bsplayer lite with video brightness at 50%, HW decoding ON and always with headphones. I know that there are many players on the market like mx, Mobo, dice ect.The majority of video files that I watch, are xvid avi's, and x264 mp4's and rarely mkv's. With this setup I loose 20% of my battery for a 40min series video. Does the use of HW acceleration has an impact on energy saving or SW is better?
So, which one from your experience is more energy efficient and at which settings?
I am too looking for such media player.
Can u clarify if software encoding enabled will draw more battery than Hardware encoding.
From what I found on the internet SW acceleration does draw more energy, but I cannot be sure since I didn't test it myself and I don't know if Ican do it properly in order to be really accurate.

Hi!
Is it possible to change screen aspect ratio to 16:9 when the device is connected to a TV over HDMI cable? So far it shows at 16:10, so the borders on the right and left are visible.
Movies played over the built-in meida player would be fitted to the TV screen properly. But! here's a downside: native player supports just a few audio codecs (e.g. no support for AC3) and one can't choose language and subtitles to be displayed. So a sound option would be going with an external video player such as VLC or similar. But ... it doesn't strech
I'm using microUSB HDMI adapter.

Sorry apparently it does not work on 4.3 yet. You might able to post in the thread and get some advice though.
Hello All,
I bought a Chinese Media Karaoke player with the descriptions below. I wonder if I can upgrade this device with new android version. Most of the upgrade I read in here is for the phones. Can anyone help point me to any options I can do with device? I wanted load Kodi to it but this thing does not have the capable of load apps from the google play store even though the OS is Android 2.3.
Thanks
