That's why I say you won't be able to understand. :D Statements like that only show that you're just out to prove your point, even with information provided to the contrary.

Also, regarding your previous statement about Coreplayer and handling files that ain't far off 800x480.

Here is a normal scene release page (If it's not ok I will remove it)

http://www.rlslog.net/category/movies/dvdrip/

Just a normal browsing of the dvdrips show that the max resolution is 720×384. Most are in the range of 6**x3**. That is nowhere near 800x480. If you have no desire for quality that is your prerogative, just don't assume people are like you.

Anyway it doesn't matter....for someone who doesn't want to learn, I'm basically just talking to the wall. :(

MediaCoder

Personnaly I use MediaCoder: http://www.mediacoderhq.com/

I use the profile in attachment, maybe we can put a better video bitrate (current 768kb/s) and you need a nVidia card, because my profile use CUDA, so you get a speed encoding.

In input I think all files are supported (mkv with subtitle include).
[HD2 General] Shawn_230:
True, so stop talking already.

If you think I'm here to not learn and start arguments then you are welcome to browse my post history of the last 4.5 years and see that I'm just here to learn and improve my phone experience like most others. It's not my fault that you fail at teaching and/or are teaching something I don't want to be learning.
[HD2 General] kenkiller:
Who cares about your post history? What matters that you have no desire to learn the reasoning, just that you like things done your way, all other ways are not correct.

No worries, anyone reading the posts can see clearly, no need for more lecturing from me. :D It's nice that people like to admit that they are non-living objects like walls. :D
[HD2 General] Shasarak:
Well, this thread degenerated into childish name-calling towards the end, but its original topic was an important one, and I don't know that its fundamental question - what is the best tool to convert HD video material into a format suitable for playback on the HD2? - was ever properly answered. Shall we have another go?
[HD2 General] Shawn_230:
Since I didn't want to be an arse after reading this thread I gave this tool a try to see the whole encoding business for myself.

The results work well... it shrunk down a ~1.5gb 720p XviD MKV into a ~350mb MP4 file in the HD2's native resolution (slightly less obviously, to preserve the aspect ratio).

But... and here's the catch, it took my not-terribly-outdated computer (3GHz C2D on W7 x64) well over 3 hours to complete this task!

And the resulting video file, while a whole heck of a lot smaller than the original HD file, doesn't seem especially crisp. Maybe it's just my eyes, but I can't see much of a difference in quality between an SD file and an HD file that's been shrunken down to the HD2's native WVGA resolution despite the shrunken HD file's resolution advantage... I downloaded an SD rip of the same video and I honestly see little difference to warrant hours being spent encoding your own.

But if encoding is your thing or you can't be bothered to download both HD and SD versions, that tool seems to work well... speed aside. Are other encoders significantly faster? I'd be willing to try if another tool might not be as sluggish.
[HD2 General] kenkiller:
For me, i use Winmenc...currently at 0.81 iirc. You can find it easily via Google.

it's a tad complicated at first, i've attached a couple of profiles below if you wish to try, just unzip into the profiles folder on Winmenc.

One uses the baseline profile, this allows videos to show up in the HTC Album. The other doesn't, for videos you don't wish others to view easily. :D

Of course, the usual caveats come in, if you wish to get a high quality encoding, garbage in = garbage out, so decent HD media is a plus. So far I've not seen the need to go above 2000kbps for video. Setting to process priority to highest and multithreading to 2, I can get realtime 1:1 encoding via 1-pass from my slowpoke AMD dualcore for 720p videos. 2-pass and/or 1080p media will obviously require more time.

@Shawn_230, let's start over again. :D

First, that encoder you're using has a bitrate limitation, making even HD encodes no better than a tiptop dvd encode. The resolution is there, but the bitrate can't do the resolution justice. Also, it doesn't seem to do higher processor priority and multithreading, which would account for your sluggish encoding time.

I am in the process of uploading an avi dvdrip (that being the usual trend in dvdrips these days) and it's corresponding HD encode in mp4 format. Also, one very important reason for transcoding is that due to the myriad video codecs out there, there will be a time when you encounter a certain video that doesn't play on the HD2, regardless of the player used. That's when encoding will come in useful.

Meanwhile here's 2 screensnaps of the video I'm uploading...

This is the SD screenshot.

This is a screenshot from the converted HD equivalent.

Besides the resolution, the details differences is rather apparent. Sorry, couldn't get exact frames, but there was no movement of the background during the short, only the stork was moving. Hope to change your mind somewhat. :D

Edit : Here are the videos

Dvdrip

Bluray rip, encoded to WVGA
[HD2 General] Shawn_230:
Well I guess I can give your tool a try... I did suspect the one I used to be somewhat limiting, but figured since it was made for the Blackstone it might be my best bet.

But for now it looks like my Leo has gone into the classifieds for sale... we'll see. :(
[HD2 General] kenkiller:
Oh...the shame....

Nvm, it's your loss. :D

[HD2 General] bluearmyb:
A question to Kenkiller or who ever can help,

im using WinMenc to encode a bluray rip but it is taken forever, the file is 1.6gb and so far its at 12% which has taken 2hours! is there anyway to speed the process up?

Can someone help me, i would like to change my 2.5 slider icons so they would look like the rhodium stock ones. I've attached a file (i don't remember which member did this.. sorry) with them resized to work properly with SENSE 2.1 's calendar tab (because of the date shown on the calendar icon).

more specifically, i'd like to know how to extract the files from that cab, and where i can get a 2.5 slider cab so i can change the colored icons to those black and white ones, plus new ones for the footprint & the twitter tab

Actually i have good basics on program developping but i have never made an executable cab file.

Also, does anyone know how i can get rid of taskbar icons that were pre-installed on a rom that i use (uzeb french rom).. i think he used this package ( http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=65911 ) (it's the same icons that i have on my device) but i would like to use the original 6.5 icons instead.

Thanks in advance!!!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] DaveTheTytnIIGuy:
To extract files from a .cab, I usually use cab2oem.exe, which will more or less achieve what you want.

To make .cab files, I use WinCE Cab Manager, which costs $99, though there are excellent free alternatives, such as QuickCab, if you don't need advanced features.

Lastly, to replace the icons, you need to use an untouched shellres.192.dll from a 6.5 ROM. Since I was working on a project involving such a file, I'll attach it (as a .cab installer). Just install it to your device, soft reset, and you're good to go. If the cab doesn't work, or it produces unexpected results, just uninstall it and post what happened here.

EDIT: It's attached. I had to zip it because the upload kept failing.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] true2you:
thanks a lot for your time dave, but i didn't see any images after extracting my cab, i just got 38 files without extentions (0cfe494a_manila, 59c727fc_manila,...) ---> 12 of them are 65kb each, 24 are 17kb each + I also have 1XML file, 1 RGU, 1 TEXT and 1 DSM. To be honest, i don't know what to do with that at all :confused:

And about your cab, well it did restore the SIGNAL icon and the notification icons (new text, missed calls...) but the rest stays the same (wifi, active sync, battery, volume...)

Anyway, thanks again man you're great
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] DaveTheTytnIIGuy:
The manila files are as they should be. Manila uses PNG images that are somehow reformatted in a proprietary way, to become the xxxxxxxx_manila files. If you need to edit them, I'd look into Mode9 editor, or another manila editing program. Just set the directory that the xxxxxxxx_manila files are in for all folder options (when you start it for the first time), and you're good to go.

The DSM, XML, RGU, and Initflashfiles.txt files are useful only for cooking ROMs. Cab2oem is a tool for creating oem packages from cab files, so they can be baked into a ROM. Since you aren't cooking a ROM, you know that the files go into the \Windows folder, and there aren't any registry entries (confirmed by looking through the .RGU), they're not terribly useful to you.

As for the icons, I don't quite know what else to do. You could try dumping your ROM and looking for the images you don't want, then dumping a stock 6.5 ROM and taking the images you want from that. Then, you could create a .cab to replace the images, but I think that'd be a lot of work, not really worth it, and there's no guarantee it'd even work.

Also, if you manage to create a black and white slider, post it on XDA please(I like the black and white style from the older versions much more than the colored ones). Hope that helps

OMGHAX 600th post!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] true2you:
well the cab in the first post IS a fully working b&w slider but for SENSE2.1, all the icons are from the winmo 6.1 stock rom so if u have sense 2.1 in your device, my friend you will be happy with that cab trust me (somebody from xda did it for me a couple of weeks ago and i've tested it myself.. but i wanted SENSE 2.5 in french so much and a rom just came out that is not heavy on memory usage so i flashed my device for the 1st time but sadly, the rom was too customized ( http://xdaforums.com/editpost.php?do=updatepost&p=4984984 ) even if the tweaking part is perfect
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] true2you:
can't nobody take a look at this? Think about it guys : to have sense 2.5 with a the BLACK & WHITE stock SLIDER. + All the icons are provided with the perfect size (in the cab) except for twitter & footprints!! :S

wouldn't it be great?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] true2you:
so, nobody wants to see their rhodiums to look classy with 6.5? ...

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] ivwonka:
bump. i want some classy b&w slider icons for sense 2.5 (unfortunately, i cant help). my today screen just getting too much on it with maxmanila and i think it would look cleaner. the dusk theme has good looking slider, but i would like to see just the slider and not the whole thing (plus dont think its compatible with my current rom; juicy r5)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] true2you:
i'm with you on that, i mean there's too much colour on manila 2.5 home screen for our devices,... at least, if the slider looked like the stock one, b&w, the screen would look cleaned up,.. plus having a stock feel on it

(ag'n, sorry if me english bad izz, native language french :P)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] efrant:
I would also be interested in the STOCK black and white icons for the bottom bar/slider in Manila / Sense 2.5...

Thanks.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] true2you:
well i'm not a cook or a chef, but since an official landscape support is (obviously) coming soon, i think i will work on that seriously.. all the knowledge i have on the subject is what has been advised by "dave the tytnII guy" a couple of posts ago..

so to begin with that, i need the manilla files coming out of both:

-a basic sense 2.5 (by that i mean a portrait "only" version)

-the files from sense 2.5 with official landscape support (just like in ark666's latest rom)

-plain b&w icons for the footprint tab + the document tap + twitter tab (i have my ideas on how to get these but the final result may not be perfect..)

so i'll be sure to make 2 of them (since there's the document tab in the second one + landscape so there may be more files to handle -- also the one with landscape may not work on portrait versions of sense 2.5)

--->> i'm asking u xda folks : can anyone provide me those manilla files, and will anyone be able to put my work into a cab? (i'm not a pro, i'm just a passionnate HTC user :D)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] biobas69:
currently using nrgz latest 2.5 rom, and i would also like to have a custom slider.

so far

i have done an export of all manila files from the phone to the pc, and then used cfc-gui to export all png file. this gives 1420 images.

i thought i could easily look through these files and spot which ones where the ones used for the slider and then replace them.

the trouble now is, i can see multiple images that could be the one used ( ie i have 5 twitter "t" that are all the right size )

so does any body know the manila file names of the items used in the sense 2.5 bar.

what would be handy is the manila file names for all

14 slider icons, the preview picture, also the icon used in the sense tab settings.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] true2you:
wow, this is exactly the way i have planned to proceed...

now, the only way i can think about is to start working with that, even if i have to do it one by one for all of the image files :S.. then it should work i guess

... but also we need to find the right images for both footprint and twitter tabs...
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] true2you:
so nobody wants to see that happen i guess...

[Windows Mobile Software Development] darkstar62:
Wing Linux version 0.4.1 stable has been released to our project page at:

http://wing-linux.sf.net

Wing Linux is a project devoted to Linux and Android on OMAP850-based devices. Currently, our project has support for the following devices:

HTC Artemis (preliminary)

HTC Elf / Elfin

HTC Excalibur

HTC Gene

HTC Herald

HTC Opal

HTC Pharos

HTC Prophet

HTC Wizard

HTC Star Trek (new!)

Other devices may work too -- Give it a try!

We have Android 1.5r4 (Cupcake) and Angstrom 2009/stable (November 2009 pull) running on these devices, with keyboard / buttons, backlights, bluetooth, GSM/GPRS working in various states on all devices. The best supported devices are the Wizard and the Herald, but others work well too. See detailed device status at:

http://sourceforge.net/apps/trac/wing-linux/wiki/Devices

New features from 0.3 and 0.4 include:

Enhancements for new APNs and calling support

New board support for many devices

Video rotation on keyboard slide for devices that support it

Fixed SD card mounting in Android

Added new fake battery driver so no more /sys_dev cludge is needed to boot Android

Lots of miscellaneous bug fixes

Fully working bluetooth support in Android (not all devices working)

New friendlier installation using progress bars and dialog boxes

Real-time clock support

Angstrom and Android systems are now merged together, allowing access to the full Angstrom system from Android, including super user

LCD and Keyboard/Button backlight controls from Android fully working (Herald/Wizard tested, others may work)

No more use of swap files! We use compressed main memory now!

AndExplorer file manager application now distributed as part of the Android image

If you've used our previous development version, 0.4pre3 or 0.4pre4, we've added the AndExplorer file manager, upgraded the Angstrom and Android images, and added HTC Star Trek support for 0.4.1.

Enjoy!

"Enhancements for new APNs and calling support" - You mean Phone is work on it? (Make Call and receive call).
[Windows Mobile Software Development] darkstar62:
You can indeed make and receive calls on it -- though sound is still an issue. The other person will be able to hear you, but you won't be able to hear them.

Most of our work this time around was on getting more APNs put in for wider support of GPRS. We're targeting our 0.5 release towards getting working sound.

[Windows Mobile Software Development] ikbenivo:
awesome! Any updates on wifi?

Too bad sound isn't working, since you really need that to be able to use this on daily basis. :rolleyes:

BTW are there any release notes somewhere?
[Windows Mobile Software Development] darkstar62:
Wifi support is targeted for 0.5 when we can move to a newer kernel. As for the release notes, there's a ChangeLog up in the files section (though it's a bit out of date, I've been trying to figure out a way to do release notes that takes into account all the projects we merge together and all the collective changes...). You can also look at the tickets for 0.4 on the wiki -- that covers most of it.

- d
[Windows Mobile Software Development] ikbenivo:
thanks. BTW Is there any specific feedback needed that I can help you with?
[Windows Mobile Software Development] darkstar62:
Nothing specific -- just what works and what doesn't. The more info we get about what works on each device, the better, as it tells us what direction to go in next.

- d
[Windows Mobile Software Development] ikbenivo:
allright. I will test and report here the results. Last question: how do I update? Do I need to uninstall the old version or does the new install overwrite the old?
[Windows Mobile Software Development] darkstar62:
The cab files will upgrade previous installations when you install them (replacing the kernel, initramfs, and rootfs.tar.gz), but there's no way right now to upgrade the root filesystem image non-destructively. For that, you'll need to delete /Storage Card/linux/rootfs.img (make sure you have filename extensions showing -- there's a rootfs.img.status that should not be deleted). After that, just start Wing Linux like usual and it'll go through the installer again.

If you've made significant changes to your old installation, I'd recommend backing up anything important first, as this will completely reset the installation.
