Two weeks ago I made a little application to convert any input video to MP4 compatible with our HD Touch HD.
At the beginning it was only for spanish people. It has been grown and now it's a big aplication and I want to share it with english spoken people.
Version 2.9f:

Version 2.8c:
- Now supports 3gp files
- A new output video size, for standard mobiles: 176x144
- A new profile for that output resolution: Samsung
Version 2.8b:
- Now you can play any video with this program. In explorer, you must click right button of the mouse, and choose 'open with - Choose program.. - Mp4ForHD.exe'. Any video plays with MPlayer, no codecs required.
- Swedish language added
Version 2.8:
- Now in PSP conversions, if you choose X264 2pass, it really makes in two passes.
- Removed in options 'ProgressBar Method', because now it's unnecesary.
Version 2.7d:
- You can split a MP4 video file into another without reencoding. To use it, open a MP4 file and choose start and end positions. Then the 'Join Mp4' button changes to 'Split Mp4'.
Version 2.7c:

- 3 news charset for subtitles (cp1250,cp1251 and latin2). Cp1250 solves problem with letters š,č,ć,ž,đ.
- Solved bug that window was always on top.
Version 2.6:
- You can change drive vhere temp dir is. As default it uses unit where program is installed.
- A few remaining messages in Spanish have been changed.
- Some lng files have been renamed to avoid problem with installer in Vista (Español->Spanish, Català->Catala, Français->French)
Version 2.5c:
- Two new sizes in srt subtitles (6.5 and 7)
- Another minor bugs.
Version 2.5b:
- In Buttons without text (select,save,load,etc), is showed a Hint. Other esthetic changes.
- Danish language added
Version 2.5:
- You can select an external subtitle (srt), also in dvd, vobs and mkvs.
- Profile settings (max.resolution, codec, etc) in a new form, not in Options form.
- Autosave current pendent video queue when program exit. Autoload the next time that program is executed.
- You can save or load pendent video queue.
- If you cancel a conversion, video returns to pendent queue.
Version 2.4b:
- "Loss Quality when an importart change of frame" bug solved in X264 2 pass.
- Now subtitles in mkv videos runs correctly.
- In the edit form, the program shows the calculated videofile size in MB.
- Now in the edit form, you can change codec and max.resolution.
Version 2.4:
- Now you can encode video with ffmpeg.exe as well as mencoder.exe. It makes compatible videos with PDA and PSP. Some videos that didn't convert with mencoder, now can be encoded with ffmpeg. Ffmpeg doesn't support srt subtitles, dvd support, neither delay audio.
- You can select number of processors/threads. It's useful in Lavc, Lavc+, and ffmpeg (not auto-thread support). It can increase conversion speed in multi-core computers.
- Subtitle languages are now independent of audio languages. It's useful in Dvd and mkv, with different audio languages and subtitle languages.
Version 2.3c:
- Support for cyrillic srt subtitles
- Added Galego language
Version 2.3b:
- Now you can select the charset of the srt subtitles (ISO-8859-1 occidental, ISO-8859-2 Central Europe, and ISO-8859-7 Greek). It has been solved problem with ¿?¡! characters, with greek alphabet, and perhaps with central europe languages.
- You can select size of srt subtitles.
Version 2.3:
- A new codec named Lavc+, with more quality than Lavc, but a 30% more conversion time.
- Now in options form you can set output resolution ratio (not only Full or Crop to Device)
- You can make your own video settings profiles. Examples: HD Quality, HD TV Series, PSP, Diamond crop to Device, Diamond 16/9, etc.
- Now you can multiselect files in pending videos queue. After that, you can delete, move, or apply a profile to all the selected videos.
- A new button added, to deselect all files in pending videos queue.
- In the pending videos queue, now shows codec, bitrate, and output resolution.
- The buttons in main form, are enabled or disabled according to actual situation.
- A new button added in the Edit Page, to enable or disable video preview.
- Dutch language added.
Version 2.2b:
- Now you can select Audio Bitrate (160 kbps,128 kbps,96 kbps,64 kbps and 32 kbps)
- If Output File exists, it isn't replaced. Now the program gives it a secuential number (For example Video01.mp4)
- If conversion process is aborted, then Output File is deleted.
- French Language added.
Version 2.2:
- The program has been renamed to Mp4ForHD (Mp4 for Hand-held Devices). It's because at the beginning, it was thought for Htc HD, but now supports a lot of devices.
- 3 differents coding ways: X264 2 pass (as version 2.1), X264 1 pass (only 1 pass. Sligthly less quality, but less time to encode), and LAVC (a codec that i tested for PSP, but surprisely is supported by the Htc HD. It's ultrafast, only spends 1/4 time of X264 2 pass, although loses quality. It's ideal for TV series)
- Full support for the PSP (X264 and LAVC codecs). It creates a jpg with a miniature of an instant of the film.
- I think I have solved the problem with 'REAL' method of ProgressBar calc.
- Final resolution (when changing aspect and crop) is better calculated.
Version 2.1b:
- Now, you can select three different ProgressBar methods: Calculated (as versions 1.8..2.0), Real-Slower (15% slow conversion), and Real-Problematic (as version 2.1 that to some people doesn't run)
- Solved '000000001.jpg not found' error.
- Option 'trellis' of MEncoder has been deleted
Version 2.1:
- You can choose output crop ratio (1.33,1.44,1.55,...,2.66) as well as Full and Crop to Device (this two already present in 2.0 version)
- Added new output resolutions (Iphone,PSP,720x432,640x384,560x336 and 480x288)
- Two new bitrates profiles: Very high (normal*1.5) and Very low (normal*0.5)
- Now progress bar is exactly calculated (checks constantly MEncoder's output log).
- Since 2.0b version, cropdetect (black flags detect) is working in all computers.
- You can see all the commands send to MEncoder and MP4Box in a log box.
- Now if no DVD audio language detected, the program try to force the language assigned in options.
- DVD subtitles are now more readable, but with the same size (MEncoder can't make it larger)
- Deutch Language added.
Version 2.0:
- You can select three diferent bitrate qualities: high (normal*1.25), normal and low (normal*0.75)
- You can select 4 maximum output resolutions: 800x480, 640x480, 400x240 and 320x240
- Fixed the bug 'Division by zero'.
- Increased time to know cropdetect (perhaps it runs well to somebody, who befores not)
- A better adjust of step 1 expected time
- Italian language added
Version 1.9:
- Can ignore up and down black flags, usseful for DVDs and VOBs, and another video files.
- In DVDs and VOBs, asumes 16:9 aspect ratio
- M4V file support
- You can input an audio-delay when video and audio are slightly asynchronized
- Video is automatic scaled when width is greather than 800 (before only when video heigth was greather than 480)
Version 1.8:
- Support for avi, mp4, wmv, mkv, mpg, m2v, mov, vob, flv. Dvd directly rip included.
- Adjust bitrate to resolution output video (from 250 to 800)
- Lets crop to our HD ratio aspect (5/3), and change the input video aspect ratio
- You can add, change order, or delete videos of the video pending queue in any time.
- Supports srt subtítles (if a srt file with same name is present)
- If heigth is greater than 480, it scales video
- Shows complete information of the video to convert (resolution, framerate, duration, etc)
- If input video includes multilanguage (Dvd, vob, mkv), you can select audio language, and subtitles language.
- You can select for each video the start and end position, and preview the video.
- You can join Mp4 of same resolution (if a video is splited in two videos, you can convert each one, and after join them)
- You can select if computer hibernate/suspends or shoot down after converting process.
- If application is minimized you see actual progress.
- Multilanguage interface support (actually English, Spanish and Catalan)

Try it. In the spanish forums all the people use it instead 'HTC Touch HD Video Encoder'.
It's absolutly freeware, no donations admited.
can i use it for htc diamond??
does it support vga rez??

Yes, HTC Album of Touch Flo 3D makes the job. If you convert a video in a maxim of 800x480 you can view it perfectly in Diamond, at full screen, or with black bands.
yeah i need it withou black flags(bands), how can i get this??
Seems to work really well. The output is slightly worse than the output from Projections encoder, but its smoother. Its ideal for TV rips or non HD sources. Trying with an HD source file now.
Thanks for sharing this great utility

Damn it is slow! How long does it take to convert a 700mb movie?

About 1 hour. It depends of your computer.
probably no multicore support?
does anybody know how to convert film without black "flags" on bootom and top?
hey, Jandre, could you please upload it to rapishare or megaupload? thanks. can not download on mediafire.
is it me....or do i not see any output files in the output folder....

As Mp4HtcHD user i highly recommend it, posted before in spanish forums and works like a charm.
Rgds,
Can you please at .m4v to your file filter.
Thats the extention for apple's DRM-free video from the itunes store, and your app converts it fine after the file is added (with some difficulty).
Surur
This is great, it converts my files without any problems. Best encoder I've seen so far. This deserves a sticky!
Use internal media player to play or use 3rd party player to play best?

N7 Crash on Lenovo Tablet (B6000-F) - fixed with restart (but important info)
Crash: on first open, and subsequent opens, app crashes. Have sent report via app (not Google). Team should have it.
Restarted and the app works.
------
Detials:
App: 2.4.2
Device:
Android 4.4.2 (3.4.67) stock.
Lenovo "Yoga 8" Tablet: B6000-F
---
App crashes on "open". First time: Crashes after a few seconds on black screen. Error: Application Crashed! com.nmobile.nplayer.
Report showed it crashed whilst scanning for music.
Thoughts: I assumed ti may have something to do with the insanely long filenames that n7 make, as I deleted my library and then copied it from my phone (which has n7 and works fine) and recieved errors saying several of the file names are too long.
EG:
albumart_n7mobile__VA_Garth_Brooks,_Green_Day,_John_Mellencamp,_R_Kelly,_Roxette,_SmashMouth,_SoundGarden_Unknown_2014-07-14_09_07_49_224.png

This may still have something to do with it as i deleted all of my album art.

Problem is from file name definitely. Yes we saw the error log. In fact the error was from Android itself and not from the app by itself. We will look to solve the issue. Thanks for the prompt feedback!
More crashing / information.

Hey Mate,
It seemed to work for a while (Since my last post) but as of this morning it has started crashing again. I've sent 4 reports -
1. Report after first crsah
2. Report after cache/data wipe & restart
3. Report after uninstall/reinstall
4. Report after uninstall/full data wipe (delete full 7n folder - 152MB)
After report no.4 I restarted again and rescanned my collection and it works fine. All album art is showing. I have managed to replicate the crash, but I still have on idea what has caused it, as I can't isolate it. When I tried I wasn't able to make ti crash a third time.
Sequence of events:
I was using n7 briefly before closing it. I then plugged the tablet it in to USB (charger only), then switched my internet on, installed iDisplay, switched my USB mode over to media & debugging . I tested iDisplay and didn't like it so I closed it, then turned on the Dolby Digital app and switched it's preset from Movie to Music. I then opened up n7 and it crashed.
I followed the sequence to the point where I installed iDisplay & switches USB/Wifi and then it crashed (so pretty sure not the Dolby App) but playaing with the wifi and USB and iDisplay individually makes no difference.
Note - this is the unlocked/paid version.
The applications you are using are conflicting with the application unfortunately
I tried many 3D Movie player apps before landing on VRTV - I was pretty content.
Just yesterday, the author added Daydream support, which lets the app appear in your Daydream library (nice) and supports Controller actions/clicks to control the app (file selection, player controls, volume +/-, zoom, re-center, 3D mode, etc.).
v3.2 is still in beta, but seems pretty well baked.
:good:
Is this it?
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=se.chai.vrtv&hl=en
What type of TV does it let you get?
CZ, yes, that's the app.
Not sure about your second question.
So you can use this to watch 2D movies too?

Yes, you can select 2D format. Works well if that's what you're playing

Thanks for this! My Pixel XL and Daydream VR are on their way, so I bought the app and joined the beta program. Can't wait to try it!
Just a note:
Many of my 3D titles are in MKV format. The app does not natively support the audio track on this format. You'll need to install a codec which is simple enough. The author is taking the conservtive approach not to bundle this codec with his app.
1. Download the APK for VLC for Android, version 1.7.5 and unzip/winrar it.
http://get.videolan.org/vlc-android/1.7.5/VLC-Android-1.7.5-ARMv7.apk
2. Copy the file "lib/armeabi-v7a/libvlcjni.so" to your phone
3. Start VRTV and select "Install codec library" from the top right menu, locate libvlcjni.so and select it.
4. Restart VRTV, AC3/DTS audio should work

Worked great, thanks! Just have to play around with the settings some more and get used to the interface. Wish that Android could understand exfat so I could just leave a bunch of my bigger movies on my flash drive for when I want to watch them. Don't really want to fill up my internal storage with them.
