Hello All,
My HTC One X seems to only record video in the 3gp or MP4 file format. This posses problems when I try and stream them to my
TV via DLNA, in other words they don't work
Can anyone tell me how to change the format my HTC One X records in or suggest another camcorder program that lets me record in a different file format or any other way to streaming my videos without having to convert them first?
Thanks for any and all your helps

Unfortunately MP4 is the default and only supported video format. What problems are you having with DLNA and MP4?

Isn't DLNA just streaming to a display, and as long as your HoX can play it the video will be shown? I didn't know the rendering happens on the TV side @[email protected]
Unfortunately it does. Although if you use windows media server to stream it, the rendering happens on the computer, if I'm not wrong. Though don't think that works with the phone.

Hi,
I want to know whether I can record Videos in MP4 format in my DHD instead of 3GP. I feel compression in MP4 is much lessor than in 3GP and it will result in a better videos. Please let me know if there is any Mod/App to do this.
thanks...

Mp4 like 3gp is just the container. Actually the codec used for the video stream is the same as the one commonly used in mp4 files - h264. So the only benefit in recording in mp4 is compatibility, because mp4 is more widely spread across media players than 3gp. For instance my TV can play mp4 files via USB but not 3gp.

And so ?
Any one found a solution ?
I'm interrested too and I'm currently browsing the web for a solution.
It was so easy to change the video format with the HD2.
Why have they make this choise of only 3gp ?
find a converter 3gp to MP4
Anyone found a solution for this?
I would like to record in MP4 because of compatibility issues with mediaplayers. Renaming the recorded files from .3gp to .mp4 works for me, but I don't want to do this manually.

Hi, I have been trying to get mirage beta to work streaming from an air video server. My sensation had no problems doing this, but the galaxy S2 simply will not play if I try to transcode the video files no matter which file I try. I tried to see if I could force some kind of settings by extracting the program out, but didn't see any configuration file that would be userful. Anyone know of a workaround?
have you tried encoding it with MKV?

I have, but it is the transcoding portion that lets me stream my entire library without using space on the device that I am interested in. Although I would be interested to hear what video players people are using to play mkv on their G2s, especially if they have found a decent one that will display subtitles.
Hi! I have problems playing some videos, particularly 720p movies that I downloaded via torrent. The video format is .avi and i'm using a class 10, 8gb micro sd card. It says unable to play video when i try it on my GW. The video plays fine on my pc through VLC media player, but when I try playing the video using DivX player, an error pops out about audio codec... (forgot the exact error type name) So I assume that the problem is the audio format. Is there any app that can solve this problem? Thanks in advance!

Try MX Video Player. An AVI-File is just a container, so it can contain different video and audio-codecs which the Video player (whether PC or Smartphone) has to support.

I will try it as soon as I get home. Thanks! One more question about this app; what are the other codecs for? should I download and install them all for my GW? Sorry but i'm really clueless about video formats and stuff.
May I..??
No need to download any codecs...in my exp,..it's support any vid format.but in particular case,if u want using h/w(hardware) accelerator playing some vid playback and it says doesn't support,just download mx armv7 neon codec...but if u still in stock rom,no need to download that codecs..

Or try Mobo Player. I have positive experience with it.
Use software decoder

Can you tell me about your experience? Have you tried playing a 720p video with it?

ahh so that's it then.. i've nothing against the video support of this phone, i still love it. just wanna try and find out how far our phone can go in terms of video playback. xD.. thanks for the tip!
I see loads of people talking about watching HD movies on their One X's. Just wondering how you get them. Is it a case of downloading them on your pc then transferring to the phone, or are they gotten from htc watch or something?
And if its the former, what formats are supported by the phone?
Well i don't think hatches started selling true hd content yet...but its easier to get them on your pc and transfer them to ur device. And download a app called mx player and it will pretty much play any codec and format with ease...

I copied one .avi format movie from my pc to the phone, it was a BDRIP.
Did not have any problems running it on default player, and the quality was awesome as well...

What size file out of interest. It seems we cannot copy files over 4GB because of FAT32
Just split the videos if they are bigger than 4GB, if you output the split files directly to the mass storage of your One X, you even wont lose time doing it.
Anyone got streaming over wifi working? Can stream ok between xbmc machines so my network is clearly up to it. The one x claps out after a couple of seconds tho when streaming 720p. Using Es file explorer to navigate to smb shares, could this be the problem? Any alternatives?

Witch video do you want to convert, the one recorded with your camera and want to watch on your pc or tv? (don't need to convert, just use VLC player or install a codec pack like shark007)
Or you want to watch videos from your pc on your phone?
Please keep all question related threads in the Q&A section. Thank You.
