thanks! i'll try it.

It really strange... if I feed the same file to Core Player (which of course hasnt got enough ponies to play it) it plays in the correct aspect ratio.. :confused:
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] itsme_4ucz:
Core has several video viewing options where you can use a combination of pixel aspect ratios (16:9 or any other) and Zoom options. Based on your configuration Core does auto cropping as well as padding at run time.

Its better to have the video converted the the way you want(Padded/Cropped) to get a better performance.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Geeba:
Ahhhh thanks, that really puts me back at square one thou... still have no idea what easy encoder to use with what setting and what player to play it on.. :eek:

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] projection:
Regarding FFMPEG - mencoder uses ffmpeg's encoders/decoders, so of course I use ffmpeg via mencoder.

Also, when encoding h.264 directly with ffmpeg, you can not set some crucial options:

1) Subtitles

2) Intelligent Resizing

3) Most importantly - you can not disable partitioning when you encode with x264 via ffmpeg! That means that seeking is going to be horribly broken.

These are just a FEW of the reasons why I use mencoder and not ffmpeg directly.

Try it. Not sure which chipset that one uses.

In the future....

This is most likely a placebo effect as I doubt your Sony panel uses a different decoder/overlay.

The stuttering can not really be helped - it is due to bad multitasking performance by CPU/OS.

You can put your device in flight mode - should stutter less then.

My apologies, I didn't have any intentions of comparing the two tools. Was just trying to help out folks. Removed the posts...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] projection:
Thank you. Apology accepted.

I also removed the part concerning it from my previous post.

But as I said - I just think it is not polite to advertise your tool in another persons thread.

I never do this and I expect others not to either.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] fr4nk1yn:
I started using CloneDVD Mobile, Then switched to Handbrake, bought a TVOut cable so looked for another solution where I didn't have to use CorePlayer.

Besides the longer encoding, I'm converting DVDs, This is FANTASTIC!.

Larger resolution and smaller filesize than the XVIDs I had been converting to.

I'm trying to convert a .mkv file for my Touch HD.. But it only converts the first 57 seconds, not the 20 minutes or so the show goes for.. anybody know why?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] GeneticallyAlpha:
i cant seem to get smooth videos what so-ever

i have installed the cab file for the faster sd access but wasn't sure to install in sd card itself or on the device storage. not sure if this has a positive effect either way.

i tried installing like TCPMP two different revision versions where one seems to support more types of files... version 081rc1b

just is pathetically jolty like 1 frame every 2 secs etc.

not sure how to uninstall these off my device :( if i have done harm by congesting some sort of registry now.

not sure if i should expect such lame playback from the sd card given the size of the device storage is kinda pathetic.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] MAK11:
You should re-read the first post.

Use WMP or HTC Album to play the converted vids. Nothing else. TCPMP is useless in this case.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] itsme_4ucz:
Whats your configuration?

Give this a shot, works great even on Core/TCPMP:

Target Video Resolution: 400X300

Video Bitrate: 1024
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] JohnQ:
hi, i've been using your encoder since v0.XX. here is a problem. Im encoding 24 hrs tv shows from 720p vid source. but the sound volume from the encoded video is very small. not loud enough. but some other videos are loud, some are not.

could this be able to change?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] shawnkuo:
how to add chinese subtitle?!

how to choose chinese...

enter chi cht or chinese?

thanks for your answer!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] projection:
Why would you use core player with this?

It does not support hardware acceleration at all.

You will get worse quality, while you could get better...

Enable sound normalization.

Press the "?" button. It explains how to find out... click "analyze file", then it will tell you what languages it finds and what you have to put there.

Good luck.

I have updated and counted all the donations.

The total is €460 :eek:

Of course paypal takes quite a bit (especially from lower donations), but still, this is an amazing community and I am glad to have solved a problem which seems to have bugged a lot of people.

My deepest gratitude to everyone who has helped this project financially.

I will try to make an updated version when I find time.

New user here - just registered so i can post this.

Wanted to thank the OP / creater of this little app - its bloody fantastic.

Did some googling for video converters - found some official, some not so official, but this..... Its just brilliant.

I have a large collection of TV shows, movies, music videos and other random stuff. So far, everything i have tried (various formats/codecs both audio and video) have all come through your converter, gone onto my HTC Touch HD and played with PVPlayer (comes with phone) perfectly. NO issues at all.

OMG at the quality - crunched a 1080p movie and a 720p music vid just last night for today at work. The quality of the video on the phones screen is just incredible.

GREAT WORK - really. It people like you and apps like this that brought about the term "Killer App" - does exactly what it says on the tin.

Expect a donation, and i give you my thanks again.

Regards,

Morph

This is related to only one file. It is most likely something wrong with that file.

Sorry, but I can not do anything about it.

You can try to update the mencoder.exe binary in the tools folder and see if it fixes it. That's the best advice I can give you right now.

Thank you :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] AliGod78:
Thanks, I'll try.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] repsolblade:
Because of the way HD content is broadcast, there is a 'natural' sound drop.

This is perfectly normal, and only a volume tweek can help, however, you could try altering the sound when you are converting your video files to try to compensate, but this may throw things about a little.:confused:
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] MaierHermi:
great work dude! thanks a lot :) :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Chrissssssss:
Great app and certainly makes things nice and easy to encode.

Just one question though: Is there any way to make WMP not stretch the video to fill the screen when fullscreen? It's cutting some of the sides off the Star Trek trailer I tried to fill the screen vertically.

Works in HTC's Album but I find MP a bit more responsive to commands.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] T4mbo:
I've gone through the mass of posts in this thread.

Can't find one that relates to my prob.

I have used the program sucessfully & converted to mp4 with no probs.

I can watch the converted movie on my pc.

BUT (it may be unrelated?) when I go to copy the mp4 to my HTC HD storage card (16gb) it won't do it - doesn't give any error messages just starts to sync then stops & starts again....

Any ideas?

I can watch the movie in wmv format but it only uses a small amount of the screen - sort of defeats the reason why I bought the HD in the first place.

Any ideas welcome.

AND for sure XDA is the only place to go for information, ideas, and community forum interaction and assistance.

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] AliGod78:
Just checking, what connection method from the device are you using? Active Sync or Disk Drive? If Active Sync, maybe too big, try Disk Drive?

Just a thought...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] projection:
Unfortunately, this is not possible.

Select "crop to aspect" option, to crop it, so that it is "full screen".

Registry Values

From what I hear everyone on tis thread is getting excellent results with videos converted with this software. I have an HTC Diamond (CDMA) and the videos I convert with this software play decent, but I am still getting some noticable frame drop. I have been hunting to find a cure to my frame dropping problem with no luck as of yet. I am beginning to wonder if the DirectShow registry settings in my phone are messing things up.

Here is what I have:

[HKLM/Software/Microsoft/DirectX/DirectShow/Video Renderer/...]

Dll - NullCam.dll (this is a REG_SZ)

IClass - {C9D092D6-827A-45E2-8144-DE1982BFC3A8} (this is a REG_SZ)

Index - 1 (this is a Decimal REG_DWORD)

Order - 23 (this is a Decimal REG_DWORD)

Prefix - PIN (this is a REG_SZ)

If someone who is getting smooth video playback on thier device could post their registry settings under the directory above it would help me a ton!

Thanks!

also: just incase you want to fool around with direct show here is the developer page:

How do i convert a dvd image file? i tried to convert hole the file and it worked, but the sound was gone :S
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] darkside80:
I am a Samsung Omnia owner and tried this converter with custom resolution and it worked and played great.Only issue for me is performance of the convertor.

It took about 40 min to convert a 1.4 gb avi (resulting a 642mb mp4 file)file compared to gomencoder performance that only took about 14 minutes for the same job(resulting a 678mb avi file with xvid video and ogg audio).

Does anybody else experience "speed" issues with the converter?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] sectos:
it's because the 2pass encoding and the x264 codec used

btw, is it possible to do a 1 pass encoding only? I mean most of the time I really do'nt need the little difference brought by the 2nd pass and I don't think I'm the only one :) I just want smaller files quickly encoded
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] darkside80:
Done a second test with 2pass CBR set in Gom encoder.

Job done in about 24 minutes. Still half the time. Hard to think is only the codec's fault. Maybe I’m doing something wrong.

P.S.: No visible difference in quality between the 2 gom encoder jobs (1pass vbr,2pass cbr).Still no visible difference between the gom encoder jobs and the Video Encoder job.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] rixi60:
can someone tell me how i convert an imagefile, i tried with two different images and it took about 20-40 minutes, and afterwards the mp4 file looks perfect on my touch HD but there was'nt sound.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] sectos:
I don't use gom encoder (though i really like gom player:)) but i used the mencoder parameters from the log file and a 1pass encoding gives me these results on a "normal" dvdrip :

-80-90fps with the second pass parameters

-100-120 with the 1st pass

so if you do both pass on the same clip you have like 50fps at best (personnaly i don't really see/appreciate the difference between 1pass/2pass encoding on the hd)

i also tried to encode a 1280 "half" hd wmv video : 25fps at best in 1pass :D
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Sasimi:
I was wondering if this encoder will support RMVB in the future?

If not, can anybody tell me the settings for it to play hardware accelerated in WMP? I've tried xilisoft, but I can't get the correct settings...[it stutters, like when played in Coreplayer, so I can only assume it's not hw accelerated]
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] japperd:
Great app!

This thing is too darn handy! :)

It was such a hassel to figure out what I needed to convert my files too. Now I just drop them in the list and I'm done. :p

And everything works fine, smooth, no trouble at all!

Just so you know, I'm opening a Paypal account because of your app so I can make a donation... :D

I have read through many pages (not all of them) and found out that a lot people spoke of the GUI and the stability. So that means you really put some work in to this! :D

I still have two suggestions though. Like many other people have already spoken off, an option to shutdown the computer would be ideal.

Second thing, which is kind of minor, is to be able to increase the size of the window, when you are browsing to choose a directory for the output file. You already made this possible for when selecting the input file.

If you have those two things implemented, that would be great. Still gonna make the donation whether you do this or not though... :rolleyes:

And the speed is kind of lame... But hey, that's just my problem with my lazy CPU... :o
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Amanox:
mmm since we are talking about speed I was wondering the same ... it takes me about an hour (maybe even a little more) to convert a 800mb file to Xperia format. Ok my laptop may not be the newest (3 years old) but nonetheless this is quite long :)

once its done the quality is good though
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] l3v5y:
My PC takes longer than that and it's running at 3.6GHz with two cores... :(
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Amanox:
yeah sorry my computer takes a lot longer than that too ... I never actually stayed in front of the computer converting files but today I was reading while I had it running and it takes about 2 and half hours to convert 800mb because u know how it says: converting file 1 of 3 etc. - the first 2 files (whatever it means by that because I only convert one file) take just over an hour each .. and then the final one goes comparably quick (20 minutes or so)

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] envygeeks:
This is because your other encoder is most likely using 2 or more cores, where as this program only uses one core as you can see by the huge difference in heat on the die between the two cores when this application is encoding. I noticed a 10c difference between the two cores when using this application, this is a singe of single core usage.

My reason above applies to you to. The amount of cores you have don't matter, even on vista and it's ability to split amongst cores, it cannot split that well. So you are really only encoding with a single core 3.6GHZ Processor. Not really all you expected, but this is one of the best encoders I have seen yet, apart from the fact that none of my videos show up in my HTC Album and I have to rely solely on WMP.

The trick here is to do what all us professionals (not video) is to set the priority, I guarantee that your process will speed up. For me it went from encoding my already incompatible MP4 HD files in 10 minutes down to 5 minutes when I set the priority to high, you should not and do not want to be able to and cannot without administrative rights (on the application itself) set it to realtime, because this will cause sever instability on the system and would cause overheating on even a well cooled system. Realtime processes are mainly for delicate and super light weight system services that will cause no instability because they don't use any processor to begin with.

Hello,

I'm new to this forum, I wouldn't take much of your time guys.

This is simply amazing. I couldn't get the encoder to work on my PC at home. Probably codecs conflicting with it or whatever. I tried various codecs as suggested by fellow members, but to no success could I get it to work.

Surprisingly without any codecs on the office machine it has worked out flawlessly. Had a minor issue with certain files & they wouldn't cross even 7MB. A video file of Candee Jay - If I were you doesn't render any audio after completion of encoding.... wonder why?

Anyway the rest is working great. Thanks a million to whoever is behind the design and thanks to all who've made it available.

BTW excellent converter, converted a file in pretty quick time too. I cant believe I was debating whether to get an iPhone or this.. this phone kicks ass! :-D

Since this isn't a question, it's a statement, I'm going to just go ahead and post it without reading throught the whole 90 page thread.

For a while it wasn't working at all for me, and was giving me some "child process" error. It read all over the thread, and nothing.

Long story short, the program doesn't support and language that doesn't use roman letters, in my case Japanese.

So all of my Anime, which are all labeled neatly in a little archive of japanese folders, can't be converted until I A) move it all to somewhere with a Roman lettered name such as C:\ or B) rename the all of my folders for the sake of conversion.

This doesn't seem like a big hassle, but when you have you have 100+ gbs in hundreds of folders very neatly and meticulously organized, it becomes quite an ordeal.

I highly doubt it, but if there were a way you could enable or tweak the program to be able to read and work with Japanese fonts, and or other scripts such as Russian, Chinese, or Hebrew, it would be greatly appreciated.
