On my Imagio, the pause/play menu on the Album player menu pops up evey 5seconds when playing vids converted with this. How do I fix this?

Thanks
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] kasperknop:
Does this converter provide the optimal settings for HD2 as well, or is there anything I could change for the better?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] niknik76:
I get green stripes across the encoded material -does anybody know what I can do about this?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] projection:
Do you even have to convert video for HD2?

It has a 1GHZ cpu, it should be able to play everything without any conversion!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] niknik76:
^Yes, but if you have movies stored in 5Gb size you might want to do a little conversion :)

-or wait for a 32Gb micro sd :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] mariobear:
It looks great! Thank you for sharing, I will try it!

I am still looking for someone (anyone) to take over this project...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] tnyynt:
Works as expected on the Leo too!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] tnyynt:
Flawless playback on the Leo's Snapdragon of 720 videos. Now the only concern for converting is file size :D
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] btyeh:
OMG you have a Leo ALREADY? Jealous!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Sugocy:
I love this program:) One question though: Is there software for ON the Touch HD that converts mp4, flv etc. to mp3??

Video audio out of sync on Leo

Hi I've used this program a few times on my HD and it works perfectly.

However I've tried to play the same encoded files on the HD2 and the video stutters slightly and the audio is out of sync by about 1 sec. (It's always out of sync by 1 sec it doesn't get worse as the video goes on).

Am I doing something wrong? Surely it should work better on the HD2 given the superior processing power. I've tried it on both WMP and the HTC Video player and both have the sync problem.

Do I need to change the settings on my HD2? Should I encode at a different bit rate? Anyone else have this problem?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] valleyman83:
I can confirm the out of sync problem for the HD2
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] jtsunami:
I am encoding videos I downloaded, but say a .avi file that is a regular DVD rip will come out with the same resolution that it started with. Say 720 x 432 is it's beginging resolution and at the end of process the new file is still this amount, am I doing something wrong?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] mad_ady:
Sugestion for a feature!

I haven't read the whole thread - so sorry if this has been discussed before, but I suggest adding an option to enable single-pass encoding. Using the current encoding algorithm produces better looking videos, but it takes longer for the video to encode. By using single-pass encoding, you will get a lower quality video (especially at frames with a lot of changes), but encoding is *much* faster.

What do you think?

I use this video filter string with mencoder and have good results for the movies I convert:

-vf hqdn3d=3:2:3,spp,scale=${W1}:${height},crop=${width}:${height}:${x}:${y}

The items with a $ are variables in perl (I mostly convert my videos on a linux workstation).
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] DrakkoFR:
Use Handbrake on mac. It's great and bring full performance. It's free too :)

Use Apple/Universal profile.

DVD Encoding

I want to encode DVD movies (different code regions). As far as I understand that shouldn't be done directly with your tool. I tried it and got disturbed playback (lines and flickering, white dots...) when playing with the media experience panel (Xperia). So what is your recommendation for converting dvds? Thanks in advance for your answer.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] bennyj71:
First thing first are these purchased DVDs? Because that flickering is probably the copy protection. You need to get a program to remove the protection like DVD Decrypter or AnyDVD,etc. first.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] altae:
Those are purchased DVDs and I have removed the copy protection (Any DVD). When I play the mp4s on my pc there are no such glitches. I got that effect with two movies (one is code 1, the other European). The European one ist slightly worse but it's more or less the same. I got also mp4s where the source is a divx dvd rip and those are ok. So don't tell me I have to encode the DVD's to avi fist and then to mp4 :(
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] altae:
It's exactly like I assumed. This weekend I had time to try a bit more and encode the same DVD's to avi (divx) first and then to mp4 with the tool provided by XDA Developers. And it worked without any glitches at all. So in my case it seems to be that way. Direct encoding from DVD to mp4 does not work (at least not reliably). If the source is a divx file (presumably it works also with xvid and other formats) you are good to go.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] hannemaster:
Hi There,

i just wanna say: Great Tool! Touch HD Rules!

I think it's great that people spend a lot of time and energy in a solution and offer the program for free. That's why i'm donating €15 right now.

ps: u got a funny email address

hannemaster.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] projection:
Thank you, you are very kind.

And I am still looking to give this project to someone... It can be easily updated etc...

Mine says Error when locating tools folder... help?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] projection:
You probably did not unpack the archive correctly.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Shasarak:
So, Mr Projection, any chance of a version of this splendidly useful tool that optimises its output for for playback on the HD2? :) I dare say anything produced with this utility will run nicely on the HD2, but it's so much more powerful than the phones this was designed for that you could use much higher bitrates (and perhaps other quality settings too) without getting jerky playback.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] demonarundo:
Great thanks
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] l3v5y:
I had a play with changing this for the HD2, using much higher bitrates, and whilst the framerate stays high, you seem to gain very little in terms of quality... I'm not sure it was worth the larger file size for the benefits...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] mculver01:
Tool stops during batch

Thank you for this excellent tool, it's great to use it on my new HD2.

I notice that the tool stops when doing batches of avi's. It doesn't crash or error - just stops. I've got a log.txt for my first attempt which I have attached to this post.

The first time I was left with a whole lot of "out_filename.mp4" files which seem to be complete and working with some skipped. The second time I had a few that had been renamed to "filename.mp4" and a few of the "out_" files but most files had not been done.

If I could batch a large amount of files before I went to sleep I'd be a happy man =)

Thanks!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Viper89:
First to start off I would like to say thanks for this great app. I'm trying to convert The Hang Over Avi file it's 700mb. My question is it normal for it to take forever to convert a large movie like this because it is for me:(. Also I'm reading about these codec packs are these necessary to have to use this program???? I'm on Vista 32bit. I would be very gratefull if someone could answer these question:D.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] chronek:
Hello ,

I started use that converter to play some files by my htc ,

I have question if converter could have choice scale to 480x288 or leave larger resolution cropped to 800x480?

And i found that from aac he compress to aac and htc sound played to fast ?....

But when i recompress audio to pcm then after that it compressed good.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] matejdro:
Very nice tool, thx! Only thing i am missing is subtitle integration. I mean that you could select subtitle file and it will burn it directly into video so you can watch video with subtitles on WMP.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] sthoeft:
I'm now using it qutie long and forgot to say thanks to you. Great tool, 5€ donated
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] bboard:
Great tool, thank you very much.

However, I would like to keep the original resolution of my videos (have had some Aspect Ratio Problems), so as a feature request, I would like to have an option to completely omit the scaling (no -vf parameter passed to mencoder).
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] mad_style:
Audio out of sync by 1 second

I just tried this tool and experience exactly what you say above. I've searched through this thread and can't see a resolution for the problem where the audio is out by 1 second.

I've tried multiple movie formats and the same result. An excellent quality video file with the audio just slightly out of sync.

If there is a fix for this, can it please be posted in the original message as it seems a few people are getting this error.

Aside from this it seems a very succinct video convertor specific for Mobiles (some of the others need a science degree to operate).
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] kr00t0n:
I have found a workaround.

If you can get the TG01 ripped cab for Coreplayer 1.3.1, you can set tools --> preferences --> Advanced --> Manual A/V offset to -0.5 seconds, and then the audio is in sync again :D
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] schriss:
I tried Encoder on my Intel i7 4 HT cores (windows showing 8 cores), but mencoder.exe seem to be using 3-4 cores only.

Maybe you need to update to th latest mencoder.exe? (released in December)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] klaudia73:
I have the same issue on the HD2. Sound lags about .5 to 1 second behind the video. Is a solution aside from the CorePlayer-workaround in sight?

Thanks,

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] a_mbri:
Sorry if im asking the wrong question..but when im trying to convert avi format,it seem to be stop and not responding..

It only complete 2/3 then not respond..

Any solution for this problem?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] STL.Mogul:
EXACT SAME PROBLEM HERE!!! It sucks, too..because I've been asking around for other Encoders, but I always get redirected back to this one! Also, for me it's not just batches of .avi files...it's ANYTHING I DO. It sucks, and I'm pretty disappointed that multiple people have already asked this question in previous posts and not gotten an answer. :confused:

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] theevilsite:
Ok. I like the converter.It's very fast.But i am from Bulgaria, and I want to add Bulgarian subtitles.So how to do it?What should I wrote on the Preferred Subtitle Language...bul?!...bg?!...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] projection:
Exactly... for 800x480 there is no need for more bitrate really...

No.

Thx...

Your i7 does not have 8 cores. It has 4 cores, and windows shows 8 due to HyperThreading. Encoding with 8 threads will not make the process go significantly faster, but if someone wants to get a newer version of mencoder, be my guest.

I don't develop this tool anymore.

The source has been opened. If anyone wants to develop this thing further and fix it's problems, let me know, and I will give writeable SVN access.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] mpg187:
Are the output files playable on TCPMP?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] projection:
Sure, they are just baseline h.264...

But if you use it playback won't be hardware accelerated.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] mpg187:
What do you mean?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] mlacomb:
If the video isn't hardware accelerated, it will be choppy. The devices aren't powerful enough to decode + display the video properly via the cpu alone.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] depakjan:
It takes a lot of time for this encoder to convert a single video. am i doing something wrong... 170mb file takes around 30 mins to convert .....

Hi

I have downloaded your soft HTC TOUCH HD VIDEO CONVERTER V1.20 but the archive does not contain the exe file

Can you tell me where i can download it ?

zelkova000@gmail.com

Thanks
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] projection:
Answered via e-mail.

But for any others, for reference... if you have avast installed uninstall that POS and use a proper virus scanner, which actually does not flag half the files on the internet as viruses because they are upx compressed.

I could not get this stuff to work,,

Hello, i tryed to make this smart program to work with my iso dvds. For me it have to be simple, i don't understandt to download all kinda wired files to get a program to work!

I wasn't able to get it to work, to people who want a easy program i would say: dvdfab.com (dvdfab) is a easy way.. It's not free :mad:, but u get 30 days trail to test it, and it simple work.. subtiles and whatever.

The program is very simple to use. I am useing Htc touch HD, and i can play high quaillty movie on the phone with no lagg now. It is even simple to setup subtiles on your main langue, Thx Dvdfab..

Dvdfab allow you to choose iphone xbox and so on... all the formats, you can even edit your resolution so it's perfect witch is how i did. :)

I am playing the movies as mp4 format,- with the standard album program on the phone. (no xtre programs needed) just dvdfab on your pc, it take about 20 min each movie to convert,

No Audio

Hello,

I used Hand Break to rip a DVD then I used this program (HTC touch HD converter) to convert the video file to use on my Touch Pro 2.

When I open the file in HTC album, I have no Audio, but the video is nice and clean.

However when I open the same video file in TCPMP I have clear audio, but the video is very choppy.

Any ideas on how to get Good Video and Audio out of the same program?

Thanks for your help!

-Eleazar
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] bennyj71:
I use Handbrake every now and then but I've never used it to rip a DVD. Anyway, you might have to change the audio output is the Handbrake settings. I can't remember which ones HTC Album supports.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] alexjust:
HELP!

Hi, the program is very good, thank you very much for it!

I installed it and converted a video. Every time I am now trying to launch a program it gives me an error message: Error locating tools folder.

What do I do?:confused:
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] minisaw:
converting a video file with the following properties:

Size: 346MB

Video: DivX 5 624x352 23.98fps [Stream 00]

Audio: MPEG Audio Layer 3 48000Hz stereo 128kbps [Stream 01]

yields a 228M file that presents a black screen for the whole duration of the movie. however there is sound.

an interesting quirk is that in case only the first 30 seconds of the same source file are being converted, the result is fine.

EDIT:

no matter, seems to be a problem of the decoder.

Nice small app! I was converting mkv sampels (around 40mb) just to test if the converings was working, and it was! Then I was trying to convert a full mkv movie (around 4gb). At the end of process 1/3 the program hang it self. I dont know why...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] wesleyrpg:
i had the same problem on a pc with 1Gb RAM (i was converting a 16gb mkv), i'm assuming that i ran out of virtual memory, are you running a small amount of ram on this pc? i did the same on a fast computer with 4gb of ram and all was ok!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Masterface7:
Thanks for such a easy to use interface. A lot of times Ill use this program to benchmark how well other converters work for me and what settings to use.

I just found this no less than 1 minute ago. At first I though that the file maybe didnt finish or something since it was so small. Then I played it and was like oh it must have encoded at 150 not 1500.

The thing I most disappointed about was spending $30 on something that doesn't work that well and there was no way to trial the software.

Have you moved the Encoder.exe from the original folder, if so put it back then it will be able to find the tools folder. If you want to put it elsewhere create a shortcut. If all else fails simply delete it and redownload it again.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Ankleman:
I have a HD2, and do not have any problems with sound being out of sinc. So is worth trying different input formats. I use Nero to encode my dvds to view on my computer, and then this tool to watch on my phone, works perfect!;)

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] pietpodlood:
OK I know this thread hasn't been very active recently but I've a Xperia X1 and this converter is working great...except for one little thing... whe I encode HD files (*.mkv) it works, but the volume is very low... near silent... In a quiet room if press the speaker firmly against my ear, I can hear the speaker buzz, and feint hints of the file's sound... and this is at max volume... This problem occurs only with .mkv files, SD movies are fine. It seems to work if I convert HD-SD with another program (Imtoo HD Video Converter) and then use your program. Then everything is great. One might ask as to why I don't just use Imtoo for everything, the reason is the video is always stuttering, no matter what resolution, frame rate or bitrate, it seems that only this program of yours gives good results on the Xperia... Awesome app btw
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] OskarUA:
Has anyone have this problem-I try to encode video, set video bitrate to 1000 kbps and audio bitrate to 320 kbps, output video size is 800x480. But when I press "encode" video bitrate changes to 200 kbps. When audio bitrate is less or equal to 192 kbps everything is fine.

HTC HD2 Corrupt Camcorder Videos

Hi,

I have a problem when taking videos with my HTC HD2. Short vidoes work great. However the larger ones (90MB or more) will not play. They do not play on the phone, or on the computer. Tried a multitude of programs, from QuickTime (gives me an error: bad public movie atom) to VLC player (acts like nothing happened).

Can your software help me fix these files? I tried it, and when I load the files, it gives me a strange error message (something about a child being killed or something like that, seriously).

If you have any ideas on how to help...would be much appreciated.

re: Xperia X1 R3AA010

Sorry to say, choppy playback with wmp on xperia x1 on any resolution, but something is strange here, framerate is about 10-15 fps on any resolution (480x288/800x480) what has no sense. This is tested with fresh hardreseted X1. Anyway much beter playback in wmp than coreplayer, which give me idea that hardware acceleration is used, but video is simply unwatchable. Roling back to Super, best results so far, xvid mp4 480x288 full 30 fps, only need little more bitrate to get same quality video (old codec)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] redoano:
It is a very useful tool for me, easy to use and succesful at encoding (although it takes longer than i expect to convert videos :) ) But i have a problem with subtitles : I just can't see Turkish letters ( ı,ş,ğ,ç,ö,ü). For ex i see the word "öğlen" as "len". No "ö" or "ğ" :( so can it be fixed? If so, how??
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] :
I think it's because this program was build in english, a language where those characters doesn't exist, so the program won't show you them.

The same thing happens to me with some Spanish subtitles, like the word "what", which in spanish it's "Qué", so I can't see the "é".
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] redoano:
So isn't it possible to fix it? I always watch movies with original language+Subtitle, but it is not possible to watch videos without viewing Turkish letters :(. There should be a way to solve it, and i am sure it is not hard.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] :
It shouldn't be, but as long as this project remains dead, I don't think it would be fixed.
