Hi all...

I've been generally busy irl, also got a new computer, blew some time playing a few games etc...

Sooo... let me see if I can answer some of your questions.

The link being down was due to the fact that the person who was responsible for my address (gm.mainframe.no) thought i was no longer using the subdomain and deleted it :)

Of course he restored it the moment I noticed, but my site was down for a couple of days, it's all fine now though.

Ok so now a round of answering all the questions...

Odd. Probably your computer is overheating. X264 is very resource-intensive.

Why are you comparing MPEG-4 ASP with H.264? Of course encoding H.264 takes longer, it is completely normal and to be expected.

However, H.264 provides a far superior picture at the same bitrate. If bitrate is not an issue, feel free to use MPEG-4 ASP, just note that playback won't be accelerated in any way by the current 72xx devices.

Yes and No.

Yes, it is possible to get gains using a GPU to offload some encoding. And no, because even though there are fast encoders using GPU, they all provide very bad quality (compared to x264).

So until x264 manage to do CUDA/Stream support, I don't think there will be much progress.

Regarding source - I have the source, you probably want the binary though.

The link is fine now.

Sorry, but your entire post is complete bollocks.

This program fully utilizes quadcore, works fine on a i7 too.

And temp doesn't matter at all, temperature only shows which part of the CPU you are stressing, it is possible to write a microbenchmark (linpack for example) which will heat up your CPU to 90C, even though with all other programs at 100% usage it will never go above 70C.

Morale of the story, don't talk big words when you don't know how things work.

You're welcome, and the reason your file did not convert was most likely because it was corrupted in some way.

Perhaps it was good enough to be played back, but mplayer's reader choked.

I am 3/4 russian myself and it works perfectly fine for me with russian filenames. In fact, it should fully support UTF-8 out of the box.

Unfortunately I do not have any files with japanese in the filenames to try with :(
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] projection:
Also, regarding new versions - I don't really see much need for it.

It does what it says on the tin, the download numbers for this program have soared through time, and since version 1.21 very few people have posted (compared to before).

So basically this thing works "well enough", certainly for my needs and for the needs of 95% of people. If there are any critical bugs I will fix them of course.

The donations for the tool paid for the purchase of my Touch HD and I am very happy about it :) I did put in a lot of work though.

I am also looking over this thread every now and then and writing down ideas, they all go neatly stacked into a .txt file, but I am afraid that there is no need to really develop it further... that's why it hasn't been updated for a while.

Haven't got any donations in a while also, which probably means that it's good enough as it is, the users have steadied out etc :)

App Crash after 20 sec encoding.

Hello Projection,

I've an issue with your nice application.

After a few sec it crashes.

I run it in debug mode as requested during the crash and want to know how I can send you the log.

is there a maximum files size/length? i tried to encode a 4gb 720p 2 hr movie file and the output ended up only 37minutes long!

something im missing? it did take about 6 hours to encode
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] projection:
Zip it and attach it on forum.

What format was it? mencoder has some issues with VC-1 from time to time.

Try updating mencoder binary perhaps...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] nk_tytn:
Hello Projection,

the application is great!

In the previous posts mention that you will develop the possibility to change the font for the subtitles and encoding for other languages. Will be this change included in the next version?

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] cesium:
Thanks a lot for this program!! I converted chappelle show for my diamond, and the files play perfectly. And the speed of the encoder is awesome, takes about 5 minutes per ep on my i7 :D
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] kenobyR:
Great Work!

Great work guys! It is working absolutely fine on Win7 x64. Irrelevant of the codecs installed, of course! For DVD I've used http://winmenc.blogspot.com/ and then converted them for Xperia X1. BIG thanks!!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Roman5:
Hey, thanks a lot for this! Playing videos on my diamond and artemis is normally terrible with loads of stop start going on. But I converted a video just now and tried it and it's very smooth from start to finish.

However, the sound is slightly behind the picture, out of sync. Is there something I should tweak in the settings? It was a 20mb .wmv file which encoder converted to .mp4. I pretty much left default settings, SD input, but changed from WVGA to VGA. Thanks for any help :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Roman5:
Can anyone suggest anything? I LOVE this app, it really does play videos so smooth so I would love to make it perfect by having the sound in sync.

Out of 3 vids I converted, 2 play in sync on my pc but not the phone, and one is out of sync on both pc and phone, but which was in sync before conversion.

So not sure what's going on there. Thanks.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] kenobyR:
Try decreasing from 600 to 500 kbps. It's a third option. Leave on WVGA and crop to fit.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Roman5:
Ok, trying that right now. Currently converting a small video on 500kbps/WVGA/Crop to fit. Will let you know the results. Thanks. :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Roman5:
Nope, actually makes the lag between sound and video even worse. I wonder if it's a specific problem on the diamond? I suppose I could try lowering the audio bitrate? Or increasing it?

edit: That doesn't work either. :(
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] kenobyR:
How does it play? Is video choppy or it is just out of sync?

If you have ripped from DVD or it is just that video is previously ripped intelaced than it would play choppy.

It is real PIA to get the settings right when ripping:)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Roman5:
Oh it plays smooth as anything, video is flawless. Just the sound out of sync.

It happens with flv videos that I converted from youtube, and also a wmv video that I also got from youtube, I converted that one from flv to wmv. I'm gonna try converting a video clip that had nothing to do with downloading from youtube and see if there's any improvement.

No difference. But anyway, what am I talking about, it's got nothing to do with the diamond because these vids when converted are out of sync when playing the mp4 on my pc, let alone on the phone. Hmm, I wonder why that is. I don't get out of sync audio when I convert videos with other programs.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] kenobyR:
Beats me. I am noob for this:) But, could guess it has to do with your computer. We have both downloaded same package, mine is running on RC W7 x64 flawlessly. Sorry, I am not of much help.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Roman5:
It's ok, I've now got Core Player 1.2.5, and it works flawlessly! Well, it didn't at first, again, out of sync audio. But I played around with the Manual A/V offset +/- in advanced settings to -0.200 and now, everything is as it should be, all synced up, and I'm a very happy guy. :D :cool: :)

Xperia X1 Users feedback

I've tested Video Encoding GUI for HTC Devices from XDA. Generally speaking, it performed well, but i still have 2 problems:

1. Images are lagg when converting a 640x480 Divx encoded animation.

2.Can not embbed subtitles even follow the instructions correctly(a s s files, placed in the same folder and named exactly the same with video except the extension)

one suggestion: add duration function.:p
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] projection:
Regarding out of sync issues with wmv/flv.

You probably need to download newer mencoder binary.

That said, I have sold my Touch HD, and currently don't have any HTC device in my posession, so I don't really see myself taking this much further, unless there are critical bugs discovered.

As of now, if I check the complaint rate vs download rate from last version, it is clear that maybe 0.5% of people have problems, the rest 99.5% never post here, so I think it works fine for them...

I used this program to convert videos for my touch pro 2 and here is my opinion:

1. The program is very very slow, it takes up to 2.5 hours just to convert a 700 MB movie, yes, this is too long, on my old iphone 3G, i used a lot of programs and it didn't take all that time.

2. A lot and a lot of frame skipping!! :( I am using media player not core player as u recommended, but it has nothing to do with the phone, i can notice the skipping even on my PC.

But after all, thanks a lot for the effort, i will consider another program for converting my video however, i really don't know the video and audio settings for touch pro 2...so if any one knows, help!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] DaRkMyk:
thanks for this great application. it plays well on my Xperia X1.

my only problem is when i use my HBH-DS980 Bluetooth Headset, it seems the video playback becomes slower. the video lags so much that it's like viewing a slide show of pictures, the audio continuously plays though. but when i tried to use a wired headset, the video playback is fine.

can someone confirm this?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] kwill:
projection, could PLEASE implement a version with the full screen feature? this is the ONLY video encoder ive been able to get to encode my videos properly and playback on my fuze without lag. the only problem is, most movies are in widescreen and when i convert im watching like half of the viewing angle that is capable. and encoding the movie in fullscreen then converting is just way to tideous just to put it in fullscreen. thanks a lot.

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] projection:
It would hardly be a donation, if you were paying for me to do it.

I doubt it's hard to implement. If someone here is familiar with TCL I can probably give out the source code and the building tools I used to create the .exe, so this program can live on :)

Yes, and they also gave worse quality - it's simple.

x264 is the fastest and best encoder in the industry. I can easily make it 2x faster, but there will be blocking etc, because I can't just throw bitrate at it, since the MSM7200 chips can't handle that much bitrate.

If media playback was so important for you, you should have stayed with iPhone, because the iPhone has a more powerful dedicated DSP and due to lower screen/video resolution it can take a lot more bitrate to compensate for worse encoding.

There is no frame skipping on the PC, period. If your source video has bad format, then that might happen, but otherwise it's bull**** or your PC is really slow.

Well, if it takes you 2.5h to encode a 700mb video, then your pc IS very slow, upgrade - preferrably to quad core.

Good luck. Even IF I gave you the exact command line for the settings, then every other application would be _exactly_ the same speed. Those settings are passed on to x264 encoder, and all other programs (megui, handbrake, super) use exactly the same encoder.

I hope this explanation is good enough. I could have just said "stop whining and learn what you are talking about" :p

What is "full screen feature"? Have you tried "crop to aspect" (or disabled it?).

There are three ways of dealing with video, the aspect ratio of which does not match your monitor.

1) Letterbox (black bars either top&bottom or sides)

2) Crop (cuts off parts of the video from top or bottom)

3) Stretch (makes everything look distorted)

Now, I think you need to think logically a little. And if you still don't understand, then cut two pieces of paper. One 16cmx9cm and other 12cmx9cm.

The 16x9 is the movie and 12x9 is your screen. now think how you can fit that movie on the screen.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Hikaru Kaze:
Hi, this software is wonderful, it really utilize h264 baseline profile to maximum.

However, I have a problem encoding a HD wmv9 video with 1280x720 res, and 12.5mbit/s bitrate.

after this software finished converting the file, when I open the converted media file, it shows the picture, however the colors are not right. It shows a grayscaled video with the other colors are not placed right, it just running out of the picture.

Can you fix this problem? I'm really sorry I can't upload the video because uploading a HD video requiring quite a lot of time for me as I don't have fast connection to the internet and the website that host the original video has already removed the video.

And I also have a suggestion for you to include settings for deblocking and other thing that supported in baseline profile so that user has more control to the resulting video.

thanks.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] projection:
I can't really fix it, as it's not up to me to decode that video.

You can try to upgrade the mencoder.exe binary and it's DLL's with the latest builds and see if that fixes the issue.

1) soft reset

2) removed manila from Today, soft reset, 37% RAM in-Use..

3) installed SD Tune-Up

4) Transferred the video to my Phone memory..

5) Optimized using SKTools..

6) Played using WMP or ALBUM

is my problem Hardware related? should i return my X1? my Old P990i plays better videos using CorePlayer or DivX Player than my X1..

the video that i'm trying to play is this one..

IMO this software should not be under-estimated!

I am not expert on these forums. However, I have spent a great deal of time downloading virtually every piece of software for h264 mp4 encoding.

This encoder completely blows all of the commercial ones out of the water not just in quality, but also compatibility with the xperia. Just try it, encode the same HD movie using this encoder and then compare it to super, or any free/commercial software. The difference is very visible on a 1900x1200 screen. I cant understand it. No matter what I do, I cant seem to get the quality to be as good using any other tool than this. The only problem is that it takes such a long time. Would be great if something could be done to speed it up. My PC can handle it i promise!

Thanks so much for making this tool available - its a godsend :)

Blacks are displayed as grey

Can't seem to get blacks to be displayed correctly on the Touch HD; they all appear as grey when being played on the device(the bars are totally black so the device should be capable of displaying pretty deep blacks). This is especially apparent when converting HD movies.

I have some questions:

1. Is it safe to always check Normalize audio?

2. Should we specify Maximum Resolution to be the same as source video solution?

For example, if the resolution of the source video is 352x240, should we set Maximum Resolution to 352x240 as well?

What will happen if we select 800x480 or 640x480?

3. Does cropping make some part of video lost?

Should we select Crop to fit target aspect radio?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] adell_:
The best choice would be Album.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] adell_:
I think it's normal 800MB is huge for video converting.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] adell_:
I searched this thread and I think I found answers from 2, 3.

2. Always use device screen's resolution.

[Edited] But after I experimented myself I found that if select 800x480 for Touch HD some part of picture will loss.

So I think we should set the resolution to the same as the input video (as long as it doesn't bigger than 800x480) or calculate output resolution ourselves.

3. Yes.

[Edited] So if you don't want some part of picture loss, don't select the crop option.

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] adell_:
What you mean by "full screen", if you want video to display full screen, I guess to need to crop it, try to select Crop to fit target aspect radio. But you will loss some of picture.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] adell_:
Suggestion

The program detects resolution of some video incorrectly when use Analyze, but just some.

And about cropping, I suggest not to autocrop, but it can offer an option to crop video height *or* the option can do crop both height and width.

I don't like autocrop because I don't want to loss any picture in output video.

When open a video in Album, we can press Adjust Aspect button (the right-most side button) 2 times, to make it displays correct Aspect and complete video.

I would be appreciate, if you please do that.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] adell_:
Version 1.20+ does autocrop height, so if you don't want cropping, set maximum solution to use the same aspect ratio as the input video, in your case you can use 640x480 (1.33).
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] adell_:
I think no need to do letterboxing, just set Maximum Resolution to use the same aspect as the input video's.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] adell_:
Don't crop. You have to set the Maximum Resolution to use the same aspect as the input video. In your case it would be 640x346.

When you were converting using Touch HD GUI, what is the Maximum Resolution that you selected?
