Now with the subtitles option the films are great. And I never had the sound issue again.

Nice work!

There is only one little problem with the subtitles. Instead of some letters, such as "É" there is a "?".

Congratulations.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] projection:
That issue is because of different encodings...

I will make some sort of option to switch between encodings for 1.22...

Seeing, as there do not seem to be any critical issues with 1.21, I guess 1.22 will be done in a while, as I have some private things to take care of.

Perhaps a week or so.

Please keep reporting things though. If you find any show-stopping errors, then I will of course make an intermediate release with a fix and push the new features to 1.23.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] MobileXMan:
in the audio and sub field stands "eng". Do I have for Germany type "ger" or "de" (like in the analyze) in the fields?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] poceh:
At last I've some free time and I can test again your program. You've released a lot of versions and I'm happy to see your progress so far! :)

Unfortunately I'm unable to use this wonderful feature with subtitles support. Look at the screenshot how it appears with Bulgarian language. All characters appears wrong (maybe because of the default font selected, which is missing Cyrillic characters, or because of the encoding - Bulgarian is Cyrillic Windows-1251).
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] projection:
The way it is in analyze... that's why the button is there :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] MobileXMan:
Ok, then it doesn't work:rolleyes:

Will give you next try the log.

Best software to RIP dvd's for the encoder?

What is the best software to rip DVD's to use with the encode?

Currently I us DVDFab 5.3, "DVD to Mobile" option. Should I convert the movie to MKV or AVI- H264? ANd in what resolution?

(I have HTC Diamond, not the HD)

Thanks.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] projection:
It works for mkv files. I am not sure about random avi/mpeg files with two streams.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] coin_son:
Video looks great! Thanks for this
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] p3eps:
I'm running the Video Encoder on my other PC currently for the first time doing a file for my Touch HD to try it out.

As someone said above - DVD Decrypter -> VOB Merge -> Video Encoder.

A bit of a hoo hah - but if it gets a decent non-jittering movie then I don't mind!

My main reason for upgrading from a Diamond to Touch HD was for watching films when I travel - so I'll happily donate a few £'s if this does a good job!

My only suggestion (apart from the ones you already have in your 'coming soon' section) is can you possibly add a 'shutdown PC when finished' button? I'm sure its something thats simple to code in, but would save me leaving my computer on all night when it only needs to be on for a few hours!!!

Keep up the good work :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] sapiora:
Touch Diamond

Hi,

Thanks for your hard work.

My efforts to add Bulgarian subtitles were not accomplished with success. In the 3rd phase of encoding I got strange error something like "Child error ...".

The other thing that I want to ask you is: can you add a Shut Down button? Like p3eps said

Thank you in advance!

P.S. I tried again and this time the program showed me a "Muxing ..." error and stopped at the end of 2nd phase of encoding. I opened the output file and there was nothing.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] tin2404:
After reading about 35 posts in this thread about those people who does not know how to install simple codec, just to say ;

this is really excellent encoder.simple like "PocketDivxEncoder" but much stabille.Very good fluid picture&sound on 640x480 screen HTC Universal.

is there any possibillity to include picture cropping?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Angelusz:
Very nice fixes! I will start testing it tonight.

Btw, on the donation list, "Mark" is me, change it to my handle instead ^_^
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] projection:
If you read the second post, it says in bold red to post the log, as otherwise I can not see what went wrong.

Crop how?

You have "Crop to Aspect" option, that should take care of any normal video and cut off the edges, so that it fits the size of the screen exactly.

There is no magic bullet solution to working with letterboxed video - if you have such video on your computer (why?!), then you need to crop it yourself.

Done :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] D____:
Great Work .... port to Mac ?

Hello

You're program is really working great but switching to windows, each time,

to encode a video is quite the pain. So if you judge that your code could be ported to mac it would be a great deal of appreciation from me and i m sure plenty of others, who have a Blackstone, Iphone or anything like that.

thanks for the good work anyhow

converting n95 footage to Touch HD

Hi,

As I resently moved from a nokia n95 to Touch HD, all my mobile footage is in the format used by the n95. When I try to play it on my HD, it stutters terrible. So I searched this forum for a sulution and found this great thread. Tried using the "Video encoding GUI" on my old nokia videofiles, but to no avail. The gui seem to run trough the motion of converting. But the end result is a video file of only 9.18Kb. It can play, but it's less that one second of footage.

I've trie to use -debug, and in the log I can se A LOT of entries like this:

15:08:59 Skipping frame!

15:08:59 Skipping frame!

15:08:59 Skipping frame!

15:08:59 Skipping frame!

Any idears?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] pantyryder69:
Just wanted to say great job on the encoder..an issue I have found is that when I encode with subtitles the finished movie has black lines that flicker throughout the movie...not too much of a problem for me as i just use another program to hardcode the subs in before using your encoder..but if u can that would be a nice fix for the next version..

thanks again and great job!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Cupra TDI:
Is the "Album-Player" still the only player, which is supporting the full hardware for playback? Until this thread, I always thought, that the CorePlayer is the best choice!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Cupra TDI:
double post; sry
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] projection:
right. so in your opinion I wrote the bolded red sentence for fun?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Rishi_Tank:
has anyone noticed when using the HTC Album viewer the video only plays for a certain amount of time (maybe 5 minutes or so) and then the video pauses??? lol how do i stop this from happening? it's so annoying.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] CWempe:
I encoded some videos with your great tool.

But I got no subtitles. :(

I activated the "use subtitles" checkbox and used "eng" as preferred language.

The Subtitles are SRT-files. The videofiles are MKV.

Does it matter that the SRT-files where names like moviename.en.srt?

Do they have to end like *.eng.srt?? (with a "g")
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] projection:
I have never encountered this issue.

It clearly states in the help box that the subtitles must have EXACTLY the name of the movie, minus the extension.

So if you have movie.avi, the subtitle must be called movie.srt. Not movie.en.srt or anything else for that matter.

I will re-do the whole subtitles and audio part anyway and make it per-file with selectable subtitles. It is not very user friendly right now, I must admit.

Haven't really got any donations lately, and I have a lot to do IRL, so I can not promise when to expect a new version.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] CWempe:
Ok.

Thanks.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] neon66:
Thanks a lot for the converter and development, much appreciated. However, as reading into 63 pages seems a bit drastic, I'd like to carefully ask the following question:

The OP states that Coreplayer does not utilize hardware acceleration yet, thus making WMP the player of choice to watch videos. To date, is that still the case, or is everything working properly as we speak?

Thank you, regards.

(Just in case, I own an Xperia X1i).
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] wmchou:
Hi,

Can I change the subtitle font size?:)

Thank you.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] projection:
I answered this two posts ago.

It is written in /bright red/. If it no longer applied, I would remove it.

In a future release...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] istoica:
Thank You for the app! Great work!

1 minor thing... I am using .srt romanian subtitles with specific romanian signs (ăîșțâ) which, if added, are displayed with weird signs. Is there any workaround or setting for the subtitles to be displayed correctly?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] dr_nick:
this is an excellent bit of software and works flawlessly on first install for me on vista 64! (though with my current configuration it takes FOREVER to encode and makes my machine practically unuseable for anything else! (the 'pause' option is a great idea, btw!)

i have a problem though, which is not with the program itself, i guess...

playback on the HD works fine, i simply navigate to the file, click it and it automagically plays in "album" (don't know how it does this, but hey!)

the problem i have is with the autorotation. when holding the device in potrait, the video plays full screen (wow what a picture!) but in L landscape. when i rotate the device to watch it autorotates the image to inverted portrait (and cuts the edges off). ie the video is 90deg anticlockwise out of sync with the postition of the device.

this is overcomable by sitting the device on a flat surface (not ideal on the bus!). i could even disable the gyrator2 app in album, but i don't particularly want to disable the autorotate feature for the album application, since it is very useful when viewing images (just about its best use i reckon!).

is there any way to get the video to play in portrait and then autorotate to whatever screen orientation the device is in based on the gsensor position?

also... (sorry to be such a pain)

would it be possible to add app2date compatibility to ensure updates are downloaded automatically?!

THANKS!!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] projection:
In a future release...

This is offtopic.

Personally, I use gyrator2 without any issues. The only thing I had to do was add an ignore rule for window class "AtlAxWin80", which is the video application that album uses.

Again, if you have ANY kind of rotation problem, then turn the autorotation application off or annoy it's author to fix it/provide you with a rule. It has nothing to do with the application.

Apptodate updates applications installed on your mobile. Pardon my french, but WTF does that have to do with my application? I don't get it.

I am also NOT including ANY network functionality in the app. The moment I make a single connection from my tool, I will open myself to liability for stealing other people's credit card numbers/personal information.

For the above reason I am making this very clear - there will NEVER be autoupdate for this program or any other programs I make/have made for that matter.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] istoica:
Thank You!

I have a suggestion... @work i am using a variation of arial.... arial CE, which works excellent with the signes I mentioned. Is it possible tu substitute the tahoma font that is in the tools directory? if so... would this solve the subtitle issue? if i replace it... do i have to rename it to Tahoma.ttf?

Later edit: I successfully played 320x240 .mp4 outputs from your app on my Polaris. Can you insert the 4:3 option as well?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] projection:
Right now, yes, that should work.

Uh? 4:3 option what?

Aspect is calculated from target resolution. You select VGA, WVGA or whatever else you desire.

I will probably add saving settings in a future release.

Your request currently makes no sense to me, sorry.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] istoica:
my bad

I was reffering to 4:3 cropping but you thought about it already. My bad... i didn't notice. Still used with 1.19 :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] berk_bear:
Can it support an ATI Imageon acceleration in future? :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] forcedv:
Is it possible to add a visual cropping feature to allow the user to zoom in (top, bottom, left and right sides of the screen) and encode just the chosen part of the video frame (eg. remove black bars from 2.35:1 videos) ?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] projection:
Err, that's what it does now.

No. Use a proper video editor for that.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Eugene8310:
the ONLY thing is missing for me in your GREAT software is MEDIUM CROP option...

full crop is a bit more then needed for this resolution - large part of 16:9 picture is ripped off in this case :(

so i still use Xilisoft Video Converter with it's MEDIUM ZOOM option... encoded movies for 640x480 look best with it
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] isangelous:

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ivanlwk90:
Strange artifacts appearing.

There seems to be short white "dashes" (-, - -, - - -) appearing on te videos when I play then using WMP or the xperia's media panel on the Xperia X1, is this normal?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Eugene8310:
i used your encoder to encode 1280 x 720 mkv movie to 640 x 480 resolution (no cropping)

but result is 654 x 368

what's wrong??? where is expected 640 x XXX resolution? badly encoded clip is resized in WMP - it's not show pixel by pixel at it's best quality :(
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] itudor:
The original movie is 16:9, 640 x 480 is 4:3. Maybe you should check the "crop to fit target aspect ratio" box.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Rishi_Tank:
hey i managed to fix that problem i was having of the HTC Album Viewer pausing every 5 or 10 minutes or so. What i had to do was disable the lock of the phone so that the lock keypad didnt show after a certain amount of time and i had to change the power settings so that the phone doesn't automatically turn off after a certain amount of time on external power (which i normally use when watching movies and so on). I guess this is because when album is being used maybe the phone thinks that the phone is inactive? lol
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] adeski:
Does it resume though after a say 3 seconds? I had this happen today on the way to work. I reckon it's the same problem that affects the HTC Music player too. Tracks just pause for a few seconds then continue.

HTC really need to sort out these bugs.:mad:
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] NisseDILLIGAF:
Hi.. and thanx for a great app :)

I have a small problem...

The Videos wont show up when I open Album in TF3D...

First time I open Album after a hard reset I can see the video as it reads the folder content..

And if I press the video to view it.. it says (translated from swedish)...

'You cant open this type of MP4-file'

If I let it read the folder ... it disappears from the filelist...

anyone else having this issue?

I can wach the video with Album if I associate it with album in TotalCommander...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] browncg:
Fantastic application...Thanks!

The encoded video quality is great in WMP, except the picture is somewhat dark. I had a similar darkening effect using TNYYNT's method on Super, except it had a brightness adjustment. Is there a way to add a brightness adjustment to this tool?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Eugene8310:
me too :(

i have the same problem
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Wordsmith9091:
Ive had that album issue many times, both with videos I've created using this tool and with others I've made with Handbrake. I can't figure out any rhyme or reason for it, though -- because I'll encode two videos with identical settings, and one will work while the other fails.

If you check out the video with the standard WM "album & picture" application, you'll notice that the ones that fail show up in the list, but don't get thumnails (they'll get the standard album icon instead). If you click them there, they'll probably sill play in album/fullscreenviewer.

I haven't seen it on any videos I've made with the latest version of projection's tool yet -- but I've only tried a few. Oddly, all of them got sort of scrambled-looking thumbnails -- but at least they got thumbnails.

I suspect this may be an issue with the mp4 filter/decoder/codec/whatever in recent builds of wm on our htc devices, rather than an issue of album, but i'm not sure.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Rishi_Tank:
No it doesn't resume at all! What happens is while im watching a video the owner info screen shows up and pauses the video automatically and when i tap that the password screen shows asking to enter the password lol and when i do that i can go to the video and unpause it normally. It's as if the phone thinks that playing a video through the htc album is like the phone is being unused because ive set my password so that it only prompts after a certain time of inactivity. Is there any way to fix this problem rather than having to disable the lock feature everytime i want to play a video in htc album viewer? And the thing about windows media player mobile is that the screen gets cut off which is why i have to use htc album viewer so that i can change the aspect ratio to fit the video on the screen.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Rishi_Tank:
Also i've noticed when encoding a video sometimes the video is saved in the same directory as the encoder program and other times it saves in the place i put as the output directory. Why is this? lol
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] kiukiu:
Hi there,

I've fixed the issue wz the coversion. Seems it's a codec issue. I uninstalled all my codec on my PC and reinstalled them with newer versions and it's working fine now. Converting now as I post this. :p
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] projection:
Then your codecs are messed up or you are using a bad ROM.

Hard reset your device, and if that doesn't solve it, then let me know.

Please stop spamming the thread with that issue.

It is in no way related to my program, it is a problem with your phone and any video you play on it through Album. As much as I wish I could help you with it, I can't.

So please make a separate thread under the forum of your device and get help there.

That simply can not happen, unless you kill the program, so that it can't save the last path used and defaults the output directory to it's path.

However, if you /can/ reproduce it, then please show me the logfile from a conversion where it does that.

The only files it saves in it's own directory are "video.avi" and a couple other temporary files which are deleted after conversion.

Seriously, the quality of this thread is degrading.

Please stay on topic and provide logfiles.

This thread is for the video encoding program. If you have a random video related problem called X on your device, which is not because of the program directly, then post a thread in the proper place and people will help you.

Thanks.

Nice

Hi Projection. Just a note to say, looks good. Not used it in earnest yet, as I've only just started with this phone really. Just got hold of TCPMP(as it's free, and I'm cheap) and am playing with DVDShrink3.2 to backup some movies. Having problems, but I'll be playing with encoding a little more later today.

Might I ask, does anyone here sucesfully use TCPMP (0.72RC1) to playback movies @ a resolution of 480x800 ?

Cheers all,

Al.

*However - reading Post#1 again, I'm now uninstalling TCPMP as it's fine on WMP*

Guys, a little info here. I have HTC Advantage 7510. Usually I play my encoded Video using Coreplayer and encode it using PocketDivxEncoder. In Coreplayer I can watch the encoded movie in one condition : NEVER CHOOSE ATI IMAGEON as the video driver (setting in corepalyer : menu--->tools--->preferences--->video). It won't work....very laggy...

So I use Direct draw or RAW frame buffer and the watching experience is very acceptable.

Amazingly, after I encoded one same movie using HD encoder (in order to test and compare and to know how good this HD encoder is) I CAN CHOOSE ATI IMAGEON as the video driver in coreplayer, and I HAVE A VERY VERY VERYYYYY GOOD result when benchmarking through coreplayer compared to Direct Draw or RAW FRAME BUFFER. Though I could still use Direct Draw and RAW frame buffer and the movie is still watchable, but using ATI IMAGEON gave the BEST RESULT in bechmark. Not to mention fast action scene in the movie I encoded runs and displays smoother.

Hmm...strange, but very happy :) Wanna say BIG THANKS to projection that makes all this available to my HTC advantage 7510...wooohooo......:)

Are you a coreplayer betatester?

As far as I know, there is no imageon support yet. Only "QTV Display".

I thinks it depends on which device you install coreplayer to. We (the HTC advantage users) have the ATI IMAGEON available in coreplayer. If you want to tweak ur coreplayer maybe you should read this : http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=3253894#post3253894 BE CAREFUL though :)
