Please try this if you are suffering problems with video playback on your Kaiser (NOT VIDEO GAMES).

Go to the OFFICIAL DivX website and download the latest full package. Try out the DivX converter using the setting 'Mobile' (you can try it for a period then if you like it you can then purchase it).

This device has its faults but if you are not prepared to work around this you should not post on this developers site! :o

I can play any movie file over WiFi from my WLHDD2.5 in perfect rendition (for a PDA) after doing this with the basic TCPMP set to GDI playback.

JUST GIVE IT A TRY, you have nothing to lose!!! :)

EDIT..Use the .81 version of TCPMP if you can get it, buffer processing is faster.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] dizzy33:
Again, we all know we can view videos at a good speed after having converted them. But our Kaiser should read them with no conversion at all.

We have enough solutions to convert videos, thanks for this one, but it is just one more ...
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Farsquidge:
I can not assist the mentally blocked so please do not give negatives until people have had time to try it THANKS!!

One would like to ask where it is said that Windows Mobile plays un-converted files??? It is primarily designed to sync via Windows media player.(as is the iSpudge with its PC software)..All other video playback is user selected and not fully supported. No lawsuit here I'm afraid...:o

OH, and BTW, did you selectively miss this in the first post???

'This device has its faults but if you are not prepared to work around this you should not post on this developers site! :o'
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] samlee860407:
deleted ....problem solved.... i am just too stupid lol
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Farsquidge:
If you used the OFFICIAL DiVx converter in the latest DiVx full package, it would play with any TCPMP! You have some setup problem there buddy...:o
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] samlee860407:
yes...i just firgue it out that i cant double click the converted file and expect it to play @@

then i try to edit before you post...but then again i din click the post button...lol

anyway...thanks alot bro

the quality is good, just that nid to spend some time to convert :p

btw, Farsquidge, did you use core media player before? :p
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Farsquidge:
No, I am stuck here with TCPMP until I get back to UK to purchase the new Coreplayer as my cred card wont work from the UAE online.

I am just trying to pass on any workarounds I find to others. I expect a massive factor of improvement when I get it but anything before that will also help others. :)
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] samlee860407:
ah....massive improvement huh

is coreplayer really that good?

really wish to try it, only if i no need to pay 1st :p

but then the divx convertor is really easy to use, just that it takes time to convert :p
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] hrb:
CorePlayer

Definitely !

Cheers

hrb
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Farsquidge:
Yep, it does!! But has patience been lost? We are developers... Not miracle workers.. Even iTunes takes full control of the other type of unit (COMPLETELY!) to convert...I think the fact we still have a factor of control on our devices to CHOOSE is befuddling people... If it was all fully auto then XDA would no longer exist!!! :o
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] samlee860407:
ahh....hehe, good good

well...maybe coz i am converting prison break and stuff which is quite big in file....hehe

thanks all again :)

Video??? I can't even get WMP to sync more than 30 songs before dropping the connection. It took me 5 nights of sitting there reconnecting every 90 minutes or so just to get 4GB of music synced up. I have to say, this is one job the iPhone handles WAY, WAY, WAY better. The whole MS thing is just sad and disappointing.

It's funny that everyone talks about how it is nice to be able to install 3rd party apps to make your device better. Yes, you can not yet install 3rd party apps on the iPhone, but the biggest point is, in many case you don't need to. The browser works great, chat works great, music playback works great, video playback works great, google maps work great, email works great, etc....

My suggestion for video on the Kaiser is, don't waste your time with it. I have wasted 10s of hours trying and it is just not worth it. I have tried 6 different encoders including DivX, Pocket Divx, Handbrake, 4 different file types and countless bitrates, framerates and codecs.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] samlee860407:
tbh,i would really wanted an iphone but there are some major flaw that why i din buy it although its my dream phone

1st, its not available in my place officially(only can get cracked version), no 3g, no mms,can edit word,excel and blah blah

and although i dont knw will i face the same problem when i am syncing songs, as i haven try yet

but no, you dont need to waste 10hours to get ur kaiser to play video

just downlaod tctm, install it in kaiser

download divx, convert it as the 1st post says so, then upload to ur device...done

less then 30minutes all done
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Farsquidge:
OK, BUT, please don't express your opinion until you have tested this yourself and posted any problems with it! Let others decide???

Many thanks..:)

That's a great idea, Farsquidge!

I know this topic has been covered extensively (see here), but all applications which provide help to the user are welcome.

A freeware alternative is available, too, which you may be interested in (and requires a bit of tweaking for us tech-inclined): http://www.pocketdivxencoder.net/
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Farsquidge:
I hope some can use this to move forward.

Best thing I have from you is the sig tag... Just taken it as my mother died 15/01/08 of cancer so have joined your group. :o
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] vpoet:
I am so sorry for your loss. My mother had breast cancer year before last, and my grandmother before her. It's great to know, though, that our children may have no need to worry about such a devastating disease with the research our generations are putting into this area. God bless you, Farsquidge!
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Farsquidge:
Thanks, I have her in my heart always, and, as we were both from Yorkshire, England...she would say, 'If you don't mean what you say, I will tan your hide!!'

She was a pearl!!! :)
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] ellergek:
I use a product called "Wondershare DVD Ripper Suite" (has a ripper and a converter) and it has a nice batch feature as well. I have also had success with "SPB DVD" and "DVD to PocketPC" by a company called Makayama. "Ashampoo Shrink and Burn 3" does fine for me as well. Also, I have noticed that Windows Media Player performs some type of conversion/compression when syncing. For example, "Star Wars 3" is a 855 MB WMV file, but when I synced it to my device it was only 359 MB. However, when I transferred the original 855 MB file to my storage card using a card reader it was still 855 MB - what is Windows Media Player doing besides syncing?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Farsquidge:
It is probably doing its best to convert a video file (of which there are MANY formats) to the preferred WM AVI PDA format. If you do not have the corresponding CODEC in your PC WM player it will not even try..Everyone has to try to standardise their media format for the player designate. If you expect the file you have on your PC/Laptop to play the same on your portable device 100% without conversion then I am afraid you are living in cloud cuckoo land! The processor speed and video codecs are radically different for WM devices against full Windows machines. (irrespective of any driver omission before anyone starts!!)

Aspect Ratio is not only for screen playback... it is for what you expect from your device....:)
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Farsquidge:
If any viewers of this thread have tried it (and it looks like a few) please post any results or it will achieve us nothing.

Many thanks. :)
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] briggs81:
I use magic dvdripper and rip the dvd directly into mobile format that works pretty well on my kaiser, near perfect condition, wide screen, and if i want to zoom in to use more of the screen, core playe rworks great, no problems. Though, i shouldn't have had to spend so much time researching how to play videos and rip/convert videos and find a good video player, to use on my "powerful multimedia device"
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Farsquidge:
Thankyou for your input. However, I am TRYING to get a feedback from the thread start... Cheers. :rolleyes:
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] briggs81:
That's great, but I am giving other options other then your suggestion, in case people want to try a different option, and since the thread title is "Good video playback on your Kaiser", I think it's a worth white post. Might be cheaper then that app too, can't remember.

I have tried that app and didnt much care for it, magicdvd ripper was easier to understand and it had divx ripping/converting options.

Good day!
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Farsquidge:
My apologies, you are correct and I have amended the thread title to reflect that.

Sorry. :o
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] jgermuga:
Fair enough. I am just personally frustrated and have given up. Not saying a workable solutions doesn't exist.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] XtreMe_G:
nice find Farsquidge. i just tried it out, it has a nice simple interface, drag and drop, and then hit convert. the video plays with no problems. but i still prefer pocketdivxencoder. lots more options and faster too.

@jgermuga

5 nights??? i admire your persistence. personally i would have given up after 1 night and just gone out and buy a card reader.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] sniperess:
Fair enough that this is a working "fix" for good video playback. But it doesn't not refute the fact that the device SHOULD be able to play it straight without conversion, it just fails to do so since everything is rendered through software while hardware to decode mpeg4 does exist.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] jules78:
Hi there, I'm a new user of this forum as I only got my phone on Thursday (O2 XDA Stellar). I read this thread with interest as I really want to get good quality video working on my phone.

I bought Core Media player this morning and have been really impressed with it so far. Plus after loads of searching and trying encoders including DivX converter, XiliSoft, pocketdivxencoder and loads more I came across Sompy, (www.sompy.com) a free:) encoder for mobile devices. It was the only encoder I found that kept lipsync in place and it also encodes to quite small files. For example a film I encoded started out at 780MB and ended up at 177MB.

Hope the info helps people and keeps people from wasting their Saturday morning downloading encoders:(
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Farsquidge:
Cheers, never heard of that one so gonna try it.

I class you as a 'Shaker'.

If you look at the viewed tab for this thread, you will find it going up to the 1000 mark...

There are Makers, shakers and takers... It would be nice if the 'Takers' fed back info from time to time...:)

Is it possible to have subtitles in coreplayer like it is possible with tcpmp the subtitles were in *.smi file ore something like that
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] jgermuga:
I have one of them. It does help to sync to a card first, but the DRM files will not play and for some reason the playlists do not get created for the mobile version of Media Player. I have had some success with first sync to just the card, then putting the card into the phone and resyncing, but the PC Media Player still has to go through every song set to sync and "recognize" is it already on the device, and if you forget to set the right properties for how to convert files, it will try and reconvert them ALL.

I must admit, part of this is due to my preference to go with WMA at 160kbps. I like to keep my source library at a high quality so I usually encode to 320kbps, but then I can fit only 1/2 the number of songs. So I set the sync to transcode to wma (which is better at low bitrates than mp3) so I get a lot more content.
[Chromebooks] bfrye26:
So I finally have Android Apps working on the Chromebook Pixel 2013. It was an easy matter installing the R11 firmware. The issues I am facing have to do with the sound. It plays sound, although the volume does not seem to work as it should. It only really changes when I set it to either mute or on at full volume.

Also, there seems to be an issue with the headphones. I need to go into the Alsamixer and unmute the channels. The issue is I can not save this setting (tried the normal Linux way with no success) so when ever the comp is restart have to go back into the Alsa mixer. It is not a major issue, but it is one thing keeping it from being flawless.

The only other thing is the mouse pointer in android apps is very small. I am thinking this has to do with the way Android is rendered on Chrome OS and the resolution of the screen, so not sure if there is any way of fixing it, but thought it I would bring it up. Beyond that, if anyone has a Chromebook Pixel and wants Android apps, the process is easy. If anyone needs me to outline the full process, just let me know! The Chromebook Pixel 2013 is far from dead, and still one of the most stunning laptops you can buy!
[Chromebooks] sykosoft:
I'll probably be doing this myself shortly. I'll investigate the audio issues and alsamixer. I assume this is you? https://www.reddit.com/r/chromeos/c...pixel_2013_but_now/?ref=share&ref_source=link

i am using resurrection 5.8.3 and the battery life is great!

[Lenovo P2 Questions & Answers] eried1:
I think stock is a safe bet. Coming from an LG G2, the P2 surpasses my wildest dreams. Could possibly get 20 hours SOT with very light use.
[Lenovo P2 Questions & Answers] IshtaNoob:
I agree.

I believe Lenovo optimized everything about the official ROM so as to provide huge battery life, from the auto brightness all the way to background process killing and signal search. I doubt any other ROM can achieve the same result without being severely hampered, unless it's some battery driven ROM.

Rooting the device while keeping the default ROM might allow you to tweak things a bit further and squeeze some more juice out of it, although I doubt much more can be done.

Then again, you might want to consider what you use the P2 for, and how much battery life can be expected from that usage... For example, I use mine for gaming all day on mobile data, and it lasts 8 to 10 hours! My previous device lasted 2 hours and a half under the same conditions with any ROM I tried, so I really don't expect better.
