Maybe something to worry about?

But as already said there are just things concerning the reading changed ...
[Touch HD General] wisniak:
Sadly I'm not that technical at this level.

If some of these parameters affect a writing buffer, then they might be harmful.

If all they do is affect the reading buffers, I doubt that they could be the cause for the card errors.
[Touch HD General] Red14:
well my three weeks old sandisk 8gb died and i had installed that sdtuneup cab the day before.

notting is recognizing it anymore:eek:, tried all my adaptors, computers, even photocamera and digital photoframe, nintendo ds etc, all say please insert card, formatting is not possible.

card is really dead, bought new one, hardreset, installed the loads and all is ok now.

but will not try sdtuneup again, sorry.

all the time it could have saved with faster speed went gone with installing all my soft again.

lol, learned not to keep my backups on sd anymore . . . .lol . . . . .:)
[Touch HD General] wisniak:
That is what happened to me.

But again, it might be a coincidence.

Did you ever insert the card in the PC using a USB adapter and removed it not using the "eject" application?

It might be that if there was an open file on the desktop (that originated from the SD card) while the card was "unsafely" removed from the PC, messed up the cards' boot sector or the FAT tables.

What Player Do You Use To Play Video On The Hd?
[Touch HD General] kensong:
As much as I like the speed-up, I won't risk frying my card again. It was not a cheap card, it is a SanDisk 16GB. Fortunately, I found a way to reformat it. No card reader could read it, but the HD's Drive Mode was able to allow my Mac to at least see an unreadable card and allowed me the option to reformat it.

I have never had a card wiped out like this before and because I back up my RAM daily onto the card, I cannot risk it happening again so I will shy away from this and wait for a Class 6 16GB before I retire my Class 2 card. Maybe that's why cards are rated and why HTC did not see the logic of tweaking the speed-up too. Just my 2c.
[Touch HD General] cehes:
Sorry to be a pain, but i really have problem with quite all !!!

I have a blackstone with rom 1.19 and 8GB card that was given with.

1 - First of all, i made a simple test copying a 40MB file from one folder to another on the sd card... it takes about 100 seconds ! On my old loox n500 with a standard 2GB card it is about 75 sec !!!

2 - I applyied the cab, reload... and this is the same thing :confused:

3 - Then i wanted to test your video that is in the first post (that runs at 120%) in flv... and core player can not read it, it does not reconnized .flv files, i went on preference/file association to add all, and this is the same problem... version is 1.2.2.

4 - And last, if i use qtv format, on only get a dark purple screen, and the sound...

Am i crazy, is my blackstone a unique model ???

Thanks for you help
[Touch HD General] ajoshi:
Can you please elaborate on this method as my 16GB Sandisk card has been rendered inoperable as well.

Many Thanks.
[Touch HD General] Chris Cross:
I have the same problems (2 - 4). I posted them earlier in this thread, but no one responded to them. Maybe we'll get some responses this time.

As far as transferring files....

If your HD is connected via ActivSync it takes really long to transfer files. For example a 350 MB video file would take about 11 minutes on mine! However if you are connected as an external drive (not as ActivSync) then it goes as fast as it would with any other external usb drive. In my case, that video file would only take about 2 minutes or so.

When you connect your HD, it asks you how you want to connect. If you want to transfer lots of files, then select the external hard drive option. If you want to sync data from your PC, then select ActivSync.
[Touch HD General] jackthekayman:
could you link me the cab with the fix for sd pls?
[Touch HD General] Chris Cross:
It is the attached file at the end of the very first post in this thread.

See here.
[Touch HD General] rayho:
It is really works!

You cool man~! DDBrain~! it is really works! it seems like HTC did some magic on the decoder if using WMP. this setting is good and important is...

" It is using WMP, not coreplayer! " , this means no need to pay extra money ~!:D
[Touch HD General] dusty_nz:
Problems

Just flashed my phone with the V1 Black Pearl rom.

Also re-encoded Transformers 1080p movie to

800x480

H.264

900kbps

ac audio

128bit

23.97 frames/sec

Playing on my sandisk card with reads at 2400k/sec (file copy to rom using resco)

Problem playback is stuttery. Full screen or in a window in WMP. It has the SC tuneup as well.

Areas to look. Plays fine on PC.
[Touch HD General] kensong:
If you plug-in the mini usb cable. the HD give you the option to select ActiveSync or Drive Mode. Choose Drive Mode and wait, the PC will tell you card is not readable and whether you want to reformat. Choose Reformat.
[Touch HD General] cehes:
Chris Cross > yes usb mode is far faster than activesync mode but this is quite obvious that *all* is faster than activesync :D

I can not imagine than my hd copy and video is slower than my old loox 500 !!

My HD was branded by my operator, then the rom is not an original one, maybe this is the cause why the cab is not ok :mad:
[Touch HD General] ankodo:

[Touch HD General] lovanova:
I chose the exact settings for the video conversion, but WMP Mobile just won't open the file at all! It seems that it doesn't support mp4 files. Am I missing something here?

Pls... any help is highly appreciated!
[Touch HD General] kstab:
Many thanks to tnyynt

Everything he wrote in the first post just works perfectly......
[Touch HD General] Wolfenzi:
I tried to make video like the first post saids. But instead of around 120%, it has only 97%.

I think the problem may be because of my video is not FLV ... but why ? You said you use SUPER as converter...

I was following ur tutorial... output container AVI and Codec... i didnt saw FLV, so i think Flash Video is the same... but my output file have other icon than your .flv trailer.

anyway, this is my settings :

http://upload.csrune.com/files/super804.PNG

Where is the problem ? Do i need different converter to make that AVI/FLV video like you ?
[Touch HD General] reidar.ostrem:
For me its fine with Flash Video in AVI container. But encode audio to mp3 128kbps.. might work better.
[Touch HD General] Wolfenzi:
Oh i see it... that trailer from first post is about 944bitrate or something... my is around 1200.

I thought that trailer would be 1200, because OP was talking about making video in 1200.. So why is he showing us a 900bitrate trailer ?

By the way : Before I bought HD, I thought it can run subtitles... my god stupid symbian n73 can do that... But as I see it cant, and there is probably no way how to run .srt files ... So the only way is to put the subtitles into video with brutal force. Can you guys tell me some program to do that ? I know i had one ... but the problem of it, was that it has problems with czech letters ěščřžýáí.... So i would prefer some program without that problems...
[Touch HD General] reidar.ostrem:
Its fine with 1200kbps, but it's your audio that are making the problem i think.

And since you problably would need to encode your movies anyway just make your favourite converter "burn in" the subs.
[Touch HD General] Wolfenzi:
audio making problem ? I had audio 192 instead of 128, but i had also 1150 video instead of 1200. So i dont see the problem here...

And burn in the subs ? YEAH !!! Thats what i want to do. But how ? with my converter ? I am using that SUPER like OP and probably many other people here, but SUPER cant burn in subtitles... I had like 7 programs for converting video in last 2 days and none can work with subtitles.
[Touch HD General] pozytywny:
I've installed the d3d driver from the diamond, and the results jumped from 96% to 101% (Prison Break, TV rip form LOL) Not too much but still some scenes that were choppy are now smooth so why not try it. :P
[Touch HD General] Wolfenzi:
Is there anyone who use Mediacoder ?
[Touch HD General] Zaza le Nounours:
For the subtitles problem, I use Pocket DivX Encoder, which can insert subtitles file directly in the final video. But you won't be able to choose the codec used to convert the video.

However, I dled the two sample files from the first post, which are supposed to be perfectly playable by the HD... and it's soooo choppy. I think it runs at something like 50%, it's completely impossible to watch.

Do you have any suggestion to improve the video playback on my phone ?
[Touch HD General] hamkeng:
I'm using Xilisoft Video Converter Ultimate or DVD Catalyst for encoding(converting) video's with burnt in subs. Xilisoft is easy to use with good settings for subs.
[Touch HD General] Wolfenzi:
My results for trailers in first post was 117% for first one and i think 113% for second one.

As i have problems in mediacoder (My final video of prison break is 3,5minutes shorter than audio...)

Do you know any program for JUST burn in subtitles ? I´m trying that pocketdivxencoder, but it wants to change a resolution a little and probably quality... I want something what can ONLY burn in subtitles without doing anything else (resolution,bitrate,codec,audio...)
[Touch HD General] reidar.ostrem:
Then try to do a search..

Maybe http://www.videohelp.com/tools/sections/subtitle can help you.
[Touch HD General] c4Lvin:
Hi, may i ask you how did you install those files? I'm talking about those _setup.xml and other 3 files once I extracted the folder?

Thanks!
[Touch HD General] johnpatcher:
You don't have to extract the cab file. Just copy it on your device and run it from there.
[Touch HD General] c4Lvin:
Got it...forgot it was a cab file ....i was just being stupid. Sorry about that fellas.

The only player I've used so far is the coreplayer 1.2.5 and plays full 700mb avi,divx fine with occasional frame drops. plays fine on my laptop. I noticed the QTv has a TyTn II driver enabled, and it makes things much better than any other video modes. Is there any blackstone driver or omnia driver out there for this coreplayer version?

Thanks guys and hope everyone had a wonderful x'mas
[Touch HD General] johnpatcher:
As far as I know CorePlayer isn't supporting QTv fully yet, it will be a major improvement of the next version comming up.
[Touch HD General] N!ghty:
tnyynt, what program do u use 2 convert the vids? im using SUPER and the quality is WAY beneath urs.. the trailers are sexy as quality and mine look like standard youtube xD same settings tho :\

ive tried 640x368 as well as 800x450 (which is very laggy ^^) and not even the last one reaches ur quality of 560x304 ^^ pretty cool actually :>
[Touch HD General] rovex:
I just copied the adrenaline.divx video from the 'Divx certified' LG KU990 (Viewty) and played it on coreplayer. It runs at 133% on the HD. Its only 400x224 and 666Kbps, now if thats what they are using to demo a 'divx certified' phone then our HDs really arent so bad are they
[Touch HD General] Wolfenzi:
N!ghty : Maybe he made it of 1080 video and you made it from some crap ?

everyone :

benchmark for first 5:30 in prison break.

Standart quality (624x something and 1100bitrate) 95%

then i upgraded it to again .avi but with flv codecs

same resolution and bitrate - 105%

then resolution 560x something and 1200+128 bitrate - 111%

and 480x270 resolution and 1344+128bitrate -- 123%

If you use iphoen resolution, you can easily go over 1500bitrate.
[Touch HD General] N!ghty:
well.. actually i used a 720p trailer, which imho isnt "crap".

so?
[Touch HD General] reidar.ostrem:
Are you converting to flashvideo in avi container ? And I get better results when not using direct show filters..
[Touch HD General] N!ghty:
these r my settings:

i also tried the "Top Quality" option.. probably makes the quality rather worse than top ^^
[Touch HD General] Wolfenzi:
You are using wrong container. not swf or flv... it must be AVI !!!!!
[Touch HD General] N!ghty:
oh i c.. thanks!

so this is the one:

MEncoder right? and audio should be mp3 i reckon.
[Touch HD General] reidar.ostrem:
mencoder and mp3 sound should do the trick.. thats what im usinv with sucsess.
[Touch HD General] funstuffalex:
guys wat video player do u use?.id love to buy coreplayer but unfortunatly i cant so can u sugest a free player coz the vids u posted here dont work whit the default player
[Touch HD General] johnpatcher:
A good free player is TCPMP (the forerunner of CorePlayer), but the hardware support is even worse. I think it doesn't support QTv at all :(.
[Touch HD General] N!ghty:
TCPMP didnt work on my touch hd :\ then i got coreplayer.. but its totally finger-UNfriendly :mad:
[Touch HD General] johnpatcher:
You need the re-compiled version of tcpmp. You can grab it here.

But as I said, don't expect too much from tcpmp. And coreplayer is much more finger-friendly then tpcmp is, as the buttons are much more bigger.
[Touch HD General] janne303:
Question to customerservice:

Hello! I have bought a HTC touch HD and now my question: Why do I get lag/bad quality when I looking at movies in this device? Doesnt It support 3D whole way with the processor Qualcomm? I seen some rumour that you dont have full support whole way. I hope you can answer me. I want a working device, not this slow as this is. Best regards Janne in Stockholm / sweden.

Answer...

New Response From [ David Montanya (EU team) ]

Depending on compression and codex different movies will run with different results on your phone. I would recommend you to search online on order to possibly find alternative conversion software or media players. There are numerous mediaplayers available for the Windows Mobile platform that may work better than the player included on the phone. HTC is not responsible for usage of third party software.
[Touch HD General] Bruno Rodrigues:
Increase of 10% on coreplayer benchmark

Just to say that the trick of the cab registry to speed up the sd card to read movies as raised 10% average in bacnchmark of coreplayer in my old XDA II (QTEK2020). Thanks tnyynt.
[Touch HD General] o-munk:
Can someone plz tell me how to install this cab file? Do I just move it onto my HD?
[Touch HD General] SingaporeAirlines:
The video stats in the thread starter seem quite high. I just opened one of my videos and its total bitrate is only 146kbps @ 23fps @ 624x352 with audio at 128kbps.
[Touch HD General] tnyynt:
Depends on the container and coder used. Audio seems fine, video bitrate seems very low for such a resolution.
[Touch HD General] cadenza:
(bunä tnyynt;) multumesc pentru totul ce faci aici:-))

So, do I understand it correct, can you play every type of normal Divx file with this .cab? So the problem doesn't lie in the grafics-driver but in the SDhc-driver?? Or its "just" an improvement, but not fully playable (I mean normal Files like 1.2Mbps @ about 720x300 and Mp3 @ 128kbps)? I want just to be sure.... Because if it would not need any 3d-driver anymore, this would be just awesome!!!! Greez, cad;)
[Touch HD General] tnyynt:
It's just a transfer rate improvement for the SD Card. The driver issue is another thing which is not discussed here, but Mobile Devices have their limitations, just like my PC can't really play back smoothly 1080 HD MOV files. It's too much for it, the same way, there's a limit for Blackstone too.
[Touch HD General] Raspail:
Sure. There is always a limiting factor in a chain of processes. And once you have improved enough the SD card transfer if you want to go farther you'll have to improve the drivers and/or the processor.

But the genuine question from cadenza remains: once this SD barrier solved, does the HD behave like the bests of its competitors? Or is that just a brick in the long wall of tunings to have just potable videos?

Let's remember the HD has been announced as a breakthrough in multimedia experience. We legitimately may expect it to be on par with the Samsung Player Addict for example.
[Touch HD General] tnyynt:
Partly agree! Just tell me what's wrong with the playback of the file attached to post #1, so we should understand better.
[Touch HD General] razorblader:
First off, thank you for trying to provide solutions for the video performance problems exhibited by the HD, the Cab to activate DMA for the sdHC is also appreciated. I personally do not encode to flv since I find Divx to produce better results and the performance in Coreplayer is almost the same.

The performance limits that have been discussed in this thread have more to do with the CPU limitation of the HD not its theoretical GPU limits. Since a lot of HD users want to see real hardware video acceleration for the HD all these workarounds are just that, workarounds.

For HTC to stick to their big-mouthed claims they will have to enable hardware acceleration for third-party software or once again they will have delivered a device that looks good on paper but does not perform accordingly. Like that has ever happened before.. :)
[Touch HD General] tnyynt:
Any chance we can have the same file benchmarked by an Xperia and/or Omnia user?
[Touch HD General] Trixster101:
Tnyynt, what software did you use for the compression n convertion?
[Touch HD General] tnyynt:
It's stated in post #1.
[Touch HD General] Trixster101:
Ah bugger, I've had a couple of kozel's I blame that tbh... Ty
[Touch HD General] tnyynt:
No worries! Happy converting!

http://smartmania.mobilmania.cz/index.php?ind=news&op=news_show_single&ide=1086

There's a video on this page. The guy is doing something - I'm assuming he's fiddling with Coreplayer settings and showing the playback of files of varying quality and codec.

There appear to be mixed results.

Alas, I don't speak Czech yet so can't translate!

Video speech is translated in text on the article.
[Touch HD General] SingaporeAirlines:
Oh right. Windows Vista was displaying incorrect information.
[Touch HD General] tnyynt:
That seems fair! Should play it back with no issues.

Audio seems a bit high, 48KHz with VBR coding. Video is VBR too.

The thing with VBR coding is that it may have 1000ish video and 133ish audio, but in reality there may be fragments where these bitrates are much higher and some where are much lower. The higher bitrated scenes may cause problems though.

If it were CBR at 1000ish video and 128 audio it should get you >115% smooth video all the way.
[Touch HD General] Matterhorn:
What app are you using to playback the videos? I have tried CorePlayer with several different settings and the QTv setting seems to be the best. What do you think?
[Touch HD General] DoGGToR:
Thanks for the cab.

Shame on MS and/or HTC not having the same at a stock device.

Appreciate your work testing on solution & bitrate. Good to know that!

[Touch HD General] Matthewfang:
hi all

I am a new player in PPC in Asia, so I am counfuesd about this topic. And I wonder if some guys can answer me some question or give me some links to upgrade my poor knowledge in PPC's Video?

1. What is playback?

2. What is Container?

3. Which player do you use to play movies?

4. why I use coerplayer to play some files, I haver onely see the picture but no sound?

thank you all in advance~
[Touch HD General] Wolfenzi:
Container is type of video. It is for example .avi .mp4 .3gp (this is writen in name of video)

Then we have codec, which can be for example divx, xvid, flv....

And we all use coreplayer.
[Touch HD General] N!ghty:
yes, and then click on it. then its like a normal installer (press "install" in the bottom left and done)
[Touch HD General] Matthewfang:
thank you man, you give me a guide which let me know how to google.
