Audio sync problems when editing video - Samsung Epic 4G Touch

Hi guys,
I really hope someone can help. I've been using my Epic 4G Touch for recording HD video for about a year now. I edit everything on Vegas Movie Studio Platinum v.11. Everything was fine until a couple of months ago. I was able to put my mp4 video files directly into my timeline and all was well with the world.
Recently, I've noticed that when I put video files into my timeline, the audio track is out of sync and a bit longer than the video track, The only work around I've found is to convert the files to another format. When converted out of mp4 into avi, dv or anything else, the sync is perfect, but this inevitably degrades the audio.
I've found nothing that I've done differently with my computer or smartphone except flashing ROM's. I even re-flashed the ROM I had before the trouble began, (Calkulin's E4GT2 v.1.6). Still same problem.
The mp4 files play just fine on my S2 and computer, but not when I try to edit them in Sony Vegas.
Help?
Thanks!

Streaming Video from Darwin

I have been wrestling with this all day and I hope someone who has this setup can shed some light on it for me. I wanted to run Darwin Streaming Server on my dedicated box and stream video files to my phone. I got Darwin up and running no problem and can successfully stream with the rtsp protocol to quicktime on my home desktop.
The issue is no matter what file I try to get the Evo to play it just says "Media Type not supported" I have done my research and made sure the files were compatible (allegedley) using h264 and aac lc as the codecs as well as hinting them. I tried with Super/Quicktime/linux ffmpeg all to the same end. The files play fine from the sd card. Even the default array of samples included with DSS didn't stream (even after hinting them). I have tried .mov,.mp4, and .3gp just for good measure with no success.
I am running Fresh's latest (0.3) and having no issues with it if it makes a difference.
This is driving me crazy as it should be playing the files....any advice or insight would be appreociated.
I just tried my EVO with my copy of Darwin and everything I threw at it worked flawlessly.
A few points to note
1) Be sure you "hint" all your movie tracks
2) Ensure that you have the proper out bound ports opened in any firewalls, etc.
But I tried, MP4 containers with the following codecs (H264, H263, MP4V (Divx)). I tried 3GP containers and I tried a MOV container with H264 codecs.
Let me know if you are still struggling on your EVO.

Just out of curiosity, have either of you gotten this working over 3G/4G (not Wifi)?
And if so are you on Android 2.2 yet?
I'm having issues with other RTSP streamers (Haven't tried Darwin just yet) over 3G (no 4G here yet), and wondered if this app might work instead.
listen i have been at this forever and finally found the best solution to watch streaming movies from my home computer....the software is in the market its called.......ready.....androstream there is a free version to test. pm me if you need (MORE) information...i can help

[Q] Sorry this video cannot be played

I'm not sure how much people have tried this out yet, but has anyone managed to successfully play videos via dlna (connected media tab in galleries)
eg. i can play an avi file perfectly locally on the device.
but everytime i try to stream it via windows media server/orb media server, i get the message 'Sorry this video cannot be played'
anyone else?
maybe something htc needs to fix?
Tried resetting your router? Maybe thats it.
I tried this and had mixed results: Tversity on win 7 would serve up the videos but none would play. Normal shared folder would let me play .mp4 but not .avi
Ooer!

I am trying to figure out how to enable a 2nd player in the unit, on first run it pops up and asks me which player to use, but only the supplied mplayer is available, if i could get it to see say rockplayer, then these issues would go away

I agree, I'm feeling this is another bug, mainly because the local video playback using htc video player (or whatever its called) is intermittently useless. sometimes it works, sometimes it plays the first five seconds and stops, sometimes not at all. All on the same video at different times.
vplayer works fine though..
also it seems unlikely that resetting the router will help, as airvideo via my iphone works fine, but i will try later on when at home again.
Haven't tried this yet, but have you checked that you have all the right codecs installed on your pc? I know windows media player has a hard time with certain codec's and file types where as vlc player doesn't, yet i don't know how this would sit when streaming video.

I think this is an issue with playback of videos on the phone, not on the computer...
If the file plays back fine on the computer, then it's not gonna be a codec problem (from the computer's side anyway).
Having this problem too. Is someone going to contact HTC?

I have very similar results. Using Windows 7's Media Player Streamer I can browse all my videos , music and photos , but none of these can be played (the server works ok,'coz I still can play videos and other media from other PC). I've some better results with XBMC's media stream (UPNP server) the photos works fine, but still can't play other media.
I can't manage to open the DHD's video, audio or images using DLNA connection.
At the beginning I think that the problem is with codecs, but since this media is opened with no problem once it copied on the phone I'm sure there is a problem with the player playing content over UPNP connection.
I had that kind of issues with an old ubuntu install, but all was fixed when installed VLC Player, so I hope someone can make a good port of VLC to android.
I've managed to playback mp3s and looked at pictures stored on my computer via my phone, so that part is OK, but videos are a no-go, which is a shame.
Very simple answer to this people.
The Desire HD and Z does not support "Play To" Receiver
Because of this AVI wont work.
Just check DLNA's website.
Compare it to bluetooth,
Both are very sensitive to compatibility and such
Never mind...

Well that's just stopped me buying the HTC Media Link, like htcsense.com they big this up in their adverts and then can't deliver.
Avi seems not to work, but I've managed to stream to my phone .mp4 files.

some avi files have actually started playing. most stop within a few seconds though.. if it can do this, why not the whole video?
Also i did check DLNAs website, and they've actually certified the Desire HD as a M-DMP device. I know they've only tested it with images (according to the certificate) however the description of a M-DMP device is:
These wireless devices find and play content on a digital media server (DMS) or mobile digital media server (M-DMS).
Examples: mobile phones and mobile media tablets designed for viewing multimedia content.
So it must be a HTC bug? (based on the fact that it DOES play the start of some files and that it is M-DMP certified..)
EDIT: well it must be a codec thing.. rockplayer plays all these files fine.. even locally the 'Videos/gallery' app can't play them all. Maybe HTC should use ffmpeg like rockplayer.. then it might just work
I spend many hours trying to figure this out , all but streaming video don't work ..any suggestions ?
Me too, but if only

Me too, but if only there was a way of making vplayer (since that plays everything so far) the default player when a video is clicked on from the connected media view
Same problem here.
1. Connected Home on Samsung Omnia 2(Win6.1/6.5) works
2. Doest work on Samsumg Galaxy Tab (froyo 2.2)
3. Doesnt work on Desire HD (pic, music, video)
So can I assume its something to do with Android?
same problems here with the HTC Media Link. far too many video files play ok on my htc desire from win7 pc using Skifta.
i've been attempting to find successful filetype/bitrate settings through freemake video converter (which allows hard-coding of subtitles) with little success when pushing to the media link.
Q. does anyone know a guaranteed filetype, bitrate, size which works through media link?
Q. are there any XDA devs working on a rom to fix this thing? excellent hardware in need of a little homebrew tweak if ever there was
It works fine on my DHD with Sabsa Prime V16 no issues at all. (Audio /Video/ Photos)

Playing Epic videos on windows pc

What is the best way to play videos from the EB13 video recorder on a windows pc? I have tried several players and codecs and they all say unsupported. Any help is greatly appreciated.
VLC. It will play just about any media file known to man.
Just Google "VLC" and it is the first link. I can't post links here yet (under 8 posts..)
Yeah I tried that one also. Have you tried it with a recorded video on the Epic? Want to see if it is a local problem although I tried it on another windows pc also.
Change the extension to .wmv and they'll play in Windows Media Player.
That didn't work for me on either computer either. Maybe it has something to do with the way I recorded it. Is there anything special that you need to setup?
Hmm. I didn't do anything special at all.
I used this codec pack a long time ago and the epic vids never presented a problem for me.
played as if they were native
http://www.cccp-project.net/
Well that didn't work either. I am starting to think this is an EB13 problem or my phone. Has anyone with EB13 recorded a video and played it back on a PC yet?
LOL nevermind I feel really stupid now . It's always the simple things the end up being the problem. I just recopied the video and it works fine.
Glad you got it.

[Q] video playback issues with GS2

Hi
I have some issues in the video recorded by GS2 device. It works fine and excellent when i play it in my GS2. I copied the mp4 files to my laptop and when i play it using VLC media player, it plays fine for few seconds and it freezes. After some time it plays back fine. The freezing part if puerly random Its happening for all the mp4 files that i copied over to my laptop.
I dont have any issues playing other mp4 files from my laptop using VLC player. Is anything/any settings needs to be changed?. Do i need to use different player?. Please help.
Thank you
that's your laptop codec issue
download CCCP and install it
VLC is not the greatest player, i use Zoom player, or the plain media player classic included with CCCP
VLC is one of the worst player ever (IMO)
[Q] T-Mobile Galaxy S2 plays choppy videos?
I have the T-Mobile Galaxy S2 that I just got like 2 weeks ago.
I have played videos using the VEVO app, Youtube app, youtube on the web, and watching Netflix.
All the videos I play seem to play choppy videos. My friend said it might be my bandwidth. I tried on my wifi, and also when connected to HSPA+. But when I do speedtests on T-Mobile's network, I get as high as 21Mbps down. Videos still choppy at times.
Is it the phones screen, or TouchWiz UI, or the T-Mobile ROM itself? I want the videos to play clear like on my old Nexus One, ipad 2, and like on my PC.
See? The problem is you have an ipad, as soon as you get rid of it it will play videos like magic. Ipad sends signals in teh air!
Sarcasm
What?
I am watching videos from online. Not videos that Ive put on the devices.

Streaming Video/Audio Sync Issue

I have a stock HTC Wildfire S that got the ota update to 2.35 er so. Before and after the update I am experiencing Streaming Video/Audio Sync Issues when trying to play video through my browser and the Netflix app. The audio rolls along with no hinderance or interference while the video stops, jumps, glithches or just plays but way out of sync with the audio. I have tryed several different websites to no avail. The craziest thing is, through the Youtube app, all videos play crisp and with no flaws. This is all being done over WiFi and has been tested on several different WiFi connections. On a side note, formated videos that are on my SD card also have no issues. I have the version of flash player for my version of android installed and 30-40mb of open internal storage.
Any idea would help, ty.
Same here. I wonder if overclocking is needed to get Netflix to play decently over WiFi.
Nick
Same here, I 'm even trying to get Skype to work. My wives LG Optimus Elite can stream Skype and Netflix video just fine even over a good 3G signal.
Yet on the Wildfire just trying to do audio with Skype wont even work on WiFi.
I am regretting this phone more and more.
