For best performance, it's best that you convert it. The more you start doing it and mess with the settings, the better you'll become and find which settings yield the best results.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] blue11:
I originally tried Quicktime Pro for this, but the people at Apple have decided that the iPhone screen is the biggest resolution they want to support on export, and I don't want the player scaling up, so I had to look elsewhere.

I'm playing with a program called Allok MPEG4 converter (http://www.alloksoft.com/mp4_converter.htm), which seems to do a nice job if a bit slowly. Of course, to do a nice job requires LOTS of processing power. I have been using the defaults except for making the output H264 and 640x480. Once the files are converted, I just copy them to the Fuze's SD card and play them from there.

I use a program called VideoReDo (www.videoredo.com) to suck in the DVD files and make a single large MPG file from them (the free DVDShrink will also work for this, if you can still find it somewhere), then load that single file into Allok and let it run. A decent DVD will take pretty much overnight to process. The results have been very good so far.

Start with a small (5 minutes or so) piece to practice with and try various settings, then when you're happy, let the full movie conversion run overnight.

Also, be aware that most commercial DVD's will have DRM and you will have to deal with that before you can do anything with the files.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] Wam7:
If you are converting from an .avi file then you can try PocketDivXEncoder (freeware). It has presets for Diamond which you should start with. You should decide whether you want VGA or QVGA. VGA should look a little sharper but will be ~30% increase in file size and on a 2.8" screen the difference may not be much. Test for your self

I would modify some of the settings though. Leave video as is. Change the audio (small arrow on the left) to 32Khz 80 kbps stereo. Go to advanced and tick 2-Pass and Xvid.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] 10332007:
What is your source file for the movie? If its on DVD then you definately want to convert it. Once all of my media is ripped or converted to the container / format I want I leave it at computer base resolution and just play it on the phone. Core player has done pretty well at handleing what I put at it so far.

Now that PocketDivx Encoder is a good program and does a pretty good job and shrinking files down.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] blognc:
Any recommendations on codecs, resolution and bitrate? I would especially be interested if anyone knew which settings preserved battery life the best while watching video.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] silvertorch:
Menneisyys has a good thread on video playback.

I use Core Player and I really don't covert any of the TV shows that I watch.

Windows Movie Maker is a great tool too. Its free (if you have XP SP2 installed) and it uses WMV format that Windows Media Player Mobile will play without any addons.

If you watch alot of movies on your Touch Pro I would suggest investing in Core Player, it plays most of the commonly used codex and its pretty quick too.

Bit rates and resolutions: I have found that if its a TV show that is about 40 to an hour, I dont have to do anything with it. For example an episode of House is about 42 minutes long, its 624x352 and running at 23.97 frames. With Core Player the episode looks flawless, eventhough the statistics on Core Player say its dropping frames, I can't tell.

I would think that a full length movie would perform a little worse, or a TV show with alot of action.

Also fatheadpi has this thread posted about encoding video for the Raphael phones.

Watch Movies on Fuze Problems

So I got an HTC FUZE not too long ago and have been trying desperately to get it to play movies.

Windows Mobile Player does not want to play the wmv files I give it...

and no matter what file I use with CorePlayer the audio is terrible

mpegs, mp4, avi, h.264...

All of these videos will play fine on my computer but as soon as I get it to my phone, the audio goes to crap.

To make it all more difficult, I only have a Mac to sync this device with, so Windows based programs are useless to me...

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks all,

'Jammin
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] BenJammin750:
I too have been trying and so far no Success

Operating my Fuze in cooperation with a Mac Laptop is difficult enough. The programs most suggest to convert videos exist mainly for PC.

I have used many methods of conversion and found no luck with producing watchable quality on my FUZE

CorePlayer gives me bad audio playback when the video played perfectly on my computer

and Windows Media Player will not play my bigger wmv files for some reason.

Let me know if you found a combo of programs and settings that really works

[Touch Pro, Fuze General] BenJammin750:
Thanks for the info, but isn't that program for PC's?

I have many different methods of converting videos

from freeware that helps me with wmv's (as I am on a Mac and that is somewhat hard to do)

To Final Cut Pro's Compressor and even Adobe's version

Windows Media Player on my Fuze seems not to like any files over 100mb

and even though the video will look awesome on my computer after conversion, the players I use on my phone completely destroy the audio...

I've searched up and down threads like these and am at a complete loss...
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] fuzenoobie:
qwik question

which is better to convert movies to my fuze spb video or avs video?
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] fuzenoobie:
sorry people

um what size micro sd card on average would I need to store the videos?
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] paperWastage:
get at minimum a 4GB microSDHC... under $8 if you're lucky

or a 8GB for $16... no reason to jump for that now that memory isn't that expensive
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] Prom3theu5:
Use coreplayer bro

I bought it, and its amazing $29.95... Don't convert anything that I get. It only has trouble with on6 flv files, and devs say it'll never support codec. Shame, because flash 9 and 10 protected movies are almost all encoded with this...

A small ffmpeg utility can run one through flv to avi, keeping aspect and original source resoultion, and process a 1.5 hour flv file in about 3 minutes and give you a great quality avi output for your phone

With TCPMP I get lag when watching full movies, but Coreplayer is fine

Set video to the qtv display, high quality.

If you've got bad audio, perhaps you need to lower the pre-am if muffled, or increase if quiet

Also, you may have equaliser enabled, and not know it.

Check the options section go through pages

There definatley should not be a problem playing media with this program

Only problem now is.... I bought this... ya sweet - but now can't afford to get my raph unlocked until next month :P

So still without a mobile

News Flash

Disney released Wall-E on DVD and Blue Ray discs. I have yet to see a cell phone with a built in DVD or Blue Ray player.

The motion picture experts group (standards body)...MPEG for short, many years ago, decided to evolve the distribution techology (for consumers), from MPEG-2 to MPEG-4. MPEG-4 is a broad spec and covers everything from small hand held devices to HD quality video (H.264, VC-1 etc).

Your Touch Pro has built in hardware acceleration to handle MP4 up to a reasonable limit. Your best built in video players, as delivered by the OEM, are HTC Album and Windows Media Player. Both apps support hardware accleration for MP4 video.

I continue to read about (and have purchased) Coreplayer. In the mobile space, Coreplayer is a modest improvement over the free open source TCPMP player. CorePlayer, caused a brief stir when they half-hacked into the (modest) built in hardware acceleration on the HTC Kaiser.

On a Touch Pro, Coreplayer does support non industry standard video formats, but only in software mode (slowly rendered down sized formats). Coreplayer fails dismally, when compared to Album or WMP for MP4 playback.

So...yes, convert your content to a fully supported format. Or...leech your content in supported formats. Search this forrum and you'll find guidance, and free conversion tools.

[G1 Android Development] josepz:
Hi all

I am new here, so, let me say a big Hello to all comunity. I am a developer for some programming languajes and just starting with android, hope I can write nice code to share here with all you.

My G1 is coming (hope get it in my hands next week) and the first I like to do is flash it with the new boot and modified RC30, but I like to have the original ones in a save place... maybe I need them one day.

But I have been reading the "Rooting, Hacking, and Flashing your G1/Dream" threat, the procedures are all clear like water, but still I have the doubt.... what is the way to save the original boot and Android built that comes with the phone?

Please, could anybody give me some help with this?

Thanks
[G1 Android Development] jashsu:
The original /system /boot and /recovery are all restoreable with publicly available update files (you can even grab them direct from Google's https server), so don't worry about having to back up your own copy. If you absolutely must copy your own data, there are scripts out there to dump out your nand flash. Good luck and looking forward to seeing your code!
[G1 Android Development] josepz:
First, let me give you the thanks for your answer...

Nandroid is one of those scripts?

Believe I have been reading this forum for several days, but is hard to asimilate so much information, and more if that info isn´t writted on your native languaje... :)

I believe I understand that I must install a bootloader to use nandroid... and not sure if I can do it with the original android installed... I readed about the /system /boot and so on directories, but not sure if I can access them from the pc, and / or if those directories contains all you need to have the phone working, or if you need a boot sector or similar to get the phone booting...

Is possible the phone boots just reading the contents or the /boot directory, without a boot sector/master record??

Is hard to asimilate that for a windows os applications developer like me

Maybe you can show me the right thread to start, I think I must change my mind with that systems... I am a Delphi, C++ and so on developer for windows S.O, and now I like to introduce my own on Linux wordl too

Little question. I am backuping original Russian ROM... an in the ending window (when I choose "Shift" and "os-new.nb") there is Language:WWE. Is there have to be something else?...
[Shift Development] i00:
When you flash your ROM it will be the Russian ROM ... the WWE setting there and the version are just what is displayed in the ROM flashing tool (CustomRUU.exe)

I had the Spanish version and used this process beginning to end - and it says WWE in the flasher but still installs the Spanish version :)

Hi i00, absolutely great guide, thank you for the hard and tidy work!

Since I'm a beginner in this area, before doing the dump job myself, kindly ask you to advise if the dump operation leaves the Shift unchanged on the winmo side and I can use it further, i.e. it is a read-only operation OR do I need to load back (flash back) the resulting back-up files (ROM and radio)?

i have been tryin to read everything i can to understand these phones..... this is my first PPC and i have had it about a month. i just figured out the compact framework to 3.5 to get other apps. so please dont flame

on to my question.... i just downloaded the pandora cab from the software thread and everyone is sayin its not a VGA version.....not to sure on that. when i opened the app everything is super small and the pictures are all out of place. am i doin everything right here???

sprint touch pro
[Touch Pro CDMA] Im_Gumby:
A couple things...

The radio version of your phone (GSM vs CDMA) has nothing to do with the Pandora ap.

Secondly, what everyone is telling you about it not being VGA is correct. That's why the pictures are small and screwy.

That is as good as it gets until they decide to fix it... at least it still works.
[Touch Pro CDMA] BottleFed:
thanks for your help.....so can i use apps from just the CDMA thread or i can go to Raphael software and use those too???
[Touch Pro CDMA] Im_Gumby:
It depends on what the application does.

Think of it this way...

Your phone is like a Dell Computer running XP.

Any program designed to run on XP will work, but if the program is strictly for Dell Computers, it will only work if you have a Dell.

CDMA or GSM is like the Dell Computer part of it.

Any application that is designed to run on a PPC/WinMobile will work on your phone.

But if the application is designed for a specific brand... like unlocking the GPS feature on a VZW Touch Pro, or a custom ROM for the ATT Fuze, you don't even think about running it unless you've got that exact model or you're willing to brick your phone.

Hope that helps.

[G1 Android Development] Koush:
I was just thinking... someone could write up an application that does the following:

It verifies you are running RC29. If not, it directs you to the sticky post on xda-developers (or sends you an email with the link).

The application contains a modified/rooted recovery image.

The application tells the user to type "telnetd" + enter.

Once telnetd is running, it telnets into localhost and automatically remounts the /system partition, and replaces the recovery image.

For noobs, it would trivialize a lot of the difficulty of rooting.

I'm pretty busy porting native applications and Mono to work with Android (almost done though!) but wanted to just throw this idea out there for someone else to pick up.

I can also provide source code for my Telnet client that is currently used to do the rooting. That would make a good starting point.
[G1 Android Development] veda_sticks:
Its a good idea, though whether it makes it onto the market is another question. If u want root bad enough, then u should be able to figure it out through the threads here like i did :-)
[G1 Android Development] coolbho3000:
Even better, it automatically grabs an RC29 NBH from a server, saves it to SD, verifies the SD is FAT32, verifies its hash, renames it to DREAIMG.NBH and instructs the user to boot into bootloader mode. :)
[G1 Android Development] UnkzDomain:
I think this would be VERY helpful for those ignorant idiots who post on root-only apps and rate them down because they don't know how to operate Google.

Also, I think it should include an option to download the DREAMIMG.NBH file and put it in the root so that RC30 users can downgrade.

The thing is, this is exactly why the Android market is supposed to be better than the AppStore. There is no "official approval" process. Apps can get taken down if they are malicious, but as long as a developer has paid their $25, their apps can go straight to the Market.
[G1 Android Development] rsfaze:
I think we are all dreaming that an application like this would ever hit the market. I'm not saying it's a bad idea but think about what we putting in front of EVERYONE that owns a G1.

Do you really think everyone that owns a G1 should be trusted with root access?

What happens when the first application that comes to market place exploits root access and really does some damage/malicious to your precious G1.

I'd suggest rethinking this one.
[G1 Android Development] Koush:
Root access is protected by Superuser.
[G1 Android Development] rsfaze:
I get that which is a nice feature, but I thought Superuser is only available in JF images. I don't recall having an application on my stock RC30 called Superuser and it's not found in market place.
