Use Winmenc 0.81 Beta (Freeware). Copy the downloaded profiles into Winmenc subfolder "profile".

Edit the profile like told in this thread

Important ist to set the audiodelay.

With this solution you can get very good *.mp4 Files with audio in sync playable with Manila album or Mediaplayer.

I tried a lot of things but this was the only way to get good video with audio in sync.

Sorry, but english is not my first language.
[HD2 General] jonbaker76:
For coreplayer i'm using v 1.3.5 build 7340 but the newer 1.3.6 build 7427 also performs the same.

What version are you guys using?

Failing that i'll format the card to fat32 to see if that makes a difference and have a look at that winmenc.

Any other suggestions are very welcome :)
[HD2 General] jonbaker76:
defo not this. I converted a film to the lowest spec audio and video wise and it resulted in 350mb file... It played the same as the 1.2g original!
[HD2 General] dattrax:
I used handbreak to convert to MP4 and then used the built in player in sense.

Seemed to be HW accelerated as 45minutes of playback took about 8% of the battery charge and I would expect doing soft decode of H264 would take more than that.

Only downside was waiting 15minutes to go from 720p to iPhone profile in handbreak. I am going to experiment with remuxing

[HD2 General] vivek310:
I have created a preset in handbrake specifically for the HD2 - Let me get home and post it back for you.

have been using this - converted about 20 movies and loaded up around 10 on the HD2 for a trip. All of them played perfectly in HTC album (Looks like it's hardware accelerated). Approx 4-5 hours on a single full charge (around 2 1/2 movies back to back).

Best part - converstion takes about an hour on a 4 yr old laptop - should happen much quicker on new ones.

Source files are all mkv (for Blu-ray rips) or iso (for standard DVD)
[HD2 General] jonbaker76:
please do mate, looks like a nice converter, if you post the sttings you are using i'll give it a bash tonight.

I don't know what is going on with coreplayer, i used it a while ago and it played lovely, about 2 drops in 10 mins. I just tried again, 11 drops in 10 seconds :confused: what does this tell us!?!?!?!?
[HD2 General] kilrah:
Could also be that you have something running in the background that's using the CPU badly...
[HD2 General] Shasarak:
This thread is worth checking out for video settings: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=582122

A converter that is reasonably idiot-proof (although its maximum bitrate is a teensy bit too low, IMO) is MP4ForHD, which you can find here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=478050 I think it lets you incorporate an audio delay into the video (thus negating the need to do it in the player).
[HD2 General] danielmariano:
I've bought Core PLayer and Kinoma PLay but the only one i use to play my videos and series is TCMP, its litter and complete doing its tasks.

I prefeer TCMP.
[HD2 General] jonbaker76:
Is what i thought but no, everything is shut down. Does the same after a soft reset. Disabling sense and using plane mode also makes no difference.

But like i say, soemtimes it works and sometimes it drops like a mother f*****

it's completely random :mad:

what i will try is another sd card, i got the 2gig one indoors, i'll put the same vid on that and report back... all rather boring but it's doing my head in and i don't like being beaten :D
[HD2 General] jonbaker76:
thanks, will take a look
[HD2 General] ephestione:
I just don't see the point in encoding especially for a mobile device.

That's iphone madness, not ours :p

I've been watching videos encoded for proper pc's since when I had my ipaq hx2400 back then, after that I kept doing it with my ipaq 214, and now I am happily doing the same on the HD2. I am sure there's something that's preventing jonbaker from watchgin movies normally, and using an alternate encoder is not a "solution" but a complication. Occam would say the same.

More specific info on file size/length/codec/bitrate/tcpmp-coreplayer bench results/microsd transfer rate (tested with read/write operation in usb disk mode) would be useful.
[HD2 General] Shasarak:
If memory card access is causing the problem with CorePlayer then you could try increasing the amount of memory CorePlayer uses to buffer. You could also try out these registry settings which sometimes improve SD card performance: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=5547319&postcount=8
[HD2 General] jonbaker76:
any chance you can suggest what i increase the settings to in the coreplayer memory buffer? not sure what im doing there! wouldnt mind giving that a go.
[HD2 General] Shasarak:
I'm operating entirely on guesswork, so no, no chance at all!!! :) I guess it needs to still be small enough that there is no danger of running out of memory on the phone, but larger than the default value. Might not make any difference, of course, depends on what's causing the bottleneck.

Have you tried getting CorePlayer to play video and audio in the background and then opening up the task manager to see what the CPU usage is doing? That might at least tell you whether it's a lack of processing power as opposed to something else.
[HD2 General] jonbaker76:
RIGHT i set coreplayer to play in background: BUILT IN TASK MANAGER:

mem - 7.94m CPU sitting around 45 - 65%, then will drop to around 20% then back up to 60%

RESCO TASK MANAGER:

mem - reports 2.68m

don't know why they give different results memory wise :confused: don't think resco task manger gives cpu usage

is all that normal?
[HD2 General] tuηay:
I have 16GB Memory card. I converted about 4-5 movies for my phone, in mp4 format. I use the build in Media Player, and it works well. It takes about 2-3 seconds to load the movie when I press "play" but, I can live with it. Quality is amazing!
[HD2 General] jonbaker76:
Yes, the wmp plays mp4 files without a hitch, the htc player did on 1.44 but since i've gone to 1.66 its ****, same as coreplayer:

This is the sort of playback i'm getting on coreplayer, same as this dude, watch how it goes from playing ok then to mass judders:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l_payztRQks

Thsi guy is getting the same results as me so how come evryone else says the have no problem with coreplayer playback? i just don't get it.

Anyhow, i'm gonna try a different card now, see if that makes a difference...........
[HD2 General] tuηay:
Dude, I'm on 1.66. Why do you don't use Media Player ?
[HD2 General] ooFunk:
I cant say i have had any problems watching movies on mine in any player... sometimes the sound wont play in Coreplayer and you need to use tcmp (or what ever its called) but that's a codec issue.

I have never encoded a video to suit the phone, even on my omnia i would just download a divx movie transfer it and play it.

My card is a 16gb card and im running stock 1.43 rom... maybe there is a fault with something on your device... faulty memory maybe??
[HD2 General] jonbaker76:
and in English? LOL

nope, no matter how many times i read that typo i still can't figure out what way round you was trying to say that :D

what was that line from the scousers in Harry Efield and chums "they do though don't they do they" say that after a few pints!
[HD2 General] tuηay:
nvm.

10char.
[HD2 General] jonbaker76:
done a complete re-format fat32. No change :mad:

tried the 2 gig card.. same :mad:

balls to coreplayer, i give up :mad:

now, i have to use the WMP (which was my last choice because it's not very finger friendly and the scroll bar doesn't show the time you are scrolling to or allow you to view the scrolling picture) anyway, i have accepted i must convert to mp4, there is no other solution.

I now need a decent and most importantly FAST converter. winavi mp4 converter is what i've been using for years but on my new 64 bit windows 7 it puts the audio out of sync slightly (you couldn't make it up :rolleyes:) It's very fast, converts in around 10 mins.

Handbrake is about 50 mins (too long for me)

any other converter recommendations?
[HD2 General] jonbaker76:
cheers for this,

Gonna try this, handbrake & TMPGenc express (i know this has windows 7 support) see what is fastest and best.
[HD2 General] Shasarak:
I doubt you'll find much difference in speed between applications - if the underlying codec and parameters are the same, the encoding process will be the same. The application simply allows you to feed parameters into the codec.

See an earlier post of mine for a mention of MP4ForHD.
[HD2 General] jonbaker76:
Shasarak, thanks for the info. I have now read the 2 threads you are following and i have slightly more knowledge on converting. I think my problem with coreplayer is what this guy said:

"In my opinion forget divx, xvid, coreplayer or tcpmp. The default player is hardware accelerated and plays the more efficient h.264"

I have gathered the following notes from the threads for me to try:

From this post : http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=5331497&postcount=38

Download:

Winmenc...currently at 0.81

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

Download the profiles from the post and just unzip into the suibfolder profiles folder on Winmenc

I actually slightly altered your 2000kbps profile

I changed FPS to be 30 (I encountered some issues with some files when leaving it as auto) and changed the 'Extra Command' field on the 'Extra' tab to be "-delay 0.400 -sws 9" without the quotes, as audio was slightly out of sync.

To encode to their proper resolution without the black bars added, or to maintain the proper aspect ratio, tick the "Fit to width" option

The "Speed and Quality" control can be set to Best as well

TMPGEnc.XPress converter :

resolution: 800x480

Container: MP4

Codec: H.264, 2-pass

format Profile: HIGH

format Level: 4

Bitrate: 2000kbps-2400kbps

bitrate mode: constant/variable both ok

CABAC: On

scan type: progressive

frame rate: 30fps

The videos are 800x480, H.264 (CABAC enabled), 2000kbps VBR, 128kbps VBR AAC audio:

ANOTHER CONVERTER NO NEED TO TWEAK SETTINGS, MAY BE SLOW THOUGH:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=467112

AND ONE MORE:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=478050

AND ANOTHER:

I use XviD4PSP (www.winnydows.com). It opens just about anything, it can resize/crop/deinterlace your source video, and it offers plenty of options to tweak your encoder settings. It's actually very easy to use, and gives you just that little bit extra to convert videos

Best quality:

Container: MP4

Codec: H.264, 2-pass or 3-pass

AVC Profile: Main

AVC Level: 4.1

Bitrate: 2000kbps

CABAC: On

AND:

Try mediacoder it's free and pretty simple to use. It also doesn't suffer from sync issues.

plenty for me to play with, oh the mrs will be happy!!:D
[HD2 General] jonbaker76:
I have now come to my conclusions over this issue and i will update the 1st post incase future users have trouble with playback also.

1). Coreplayer and TCPMP don't work well on my device when playing back avi (divx/xvid) because they don't support hardware accelaration, although others seem to have no problems which still confuses me. Playback is juddery dropping many frames. I have tried Shasaraks settings (which are the best) and all others with no luck.

2). Because WMP and the HTC player don't support avi (divx/xvid) converting to mp4 is the only option for me.

3). CONVERSION: I have tried many converters including: TMPGEnc.XPress, handbrake, xvid4psp, mediacoder and others. The ones that do work well for the HD2 all have the same problem and that is a delay in audio putting speech out of sync when played back on the device. Even when playing back avi's in coreplayer i had to manualy adjust the sync.

The only converter that works well and is fast and can put the audio in sync for playback on HD2 is winmenc available here (freeware) http://winmenc.blogspot.com/

Download my profile which has the audio sync tweak already in it (thanks to Kr00ton). I have tweaked Kenkiller's original profile, see here for info: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=5331497&postcount=38

I have changed Kenkillers profile from 2000 to 1000 kbps to save file size and have also got rid off the 2 pass encoding to save time (and lots of it!). You also need to tick FIT TO WIDTH AND SPEED & QUALITY CONTROL AND MOVE IT TO FASTEST. I done various tests and found no noticeble difference to SD videos doing it my way. This speeds up conversion time to around 30 mins for a 700mb avi and keeps the file size about the same as the original.

If you have more time on your hands and or you are converting HD then maybe use Kenkillers original profile, although i converted HD stuff in my profile and it looked great. It all depends if file size and conversion time is an issue for you.

4). For some reason the HTC player still judders for me, i'm pretty sure it didn't do that in stock rom 1.44 but it certainly does on my 1.66 ROM leaving only WMP that performs perfectly :D It's a shame that it isn't very finger friendly for srolling through the video etc but i'll live with that.

I can only report my findings and experiences, you may not have the same issues i have had. Conversion may wield different reults on other OS's. I'm using windows 7 64 bit and can confirm that when i used winavimp4 converter on xp it was perfect but used on windows 7 it puts audio out of sync. Having said that it is without a doubt the fastest converter i have come accross converting a 700mb file in around 10 mins on windows 7 64 bit. It was around 30 mins on my old xp machine.

5). I can now relax and enjoy my films on my HD2, which is the main reason i bought it!

Thanks to all the posters who have helped me out :cool:
[HD2 General] troed:
I´m running Divx-Player on my HTC Touch HD and HD 2 as well as DiVX on my Computer.

No single problem that far.

Files are nice and small, encoding with DiVX - Converter no sweat and most download sites offer original divx-coded movies.

No out of sync events

Interface a little bit clumsy since buttons are small but once setup no need to fiddle around with them any more..............

I always encode in Home-Theater-Quality, gives the best on the HD2-screen:D:D
[HD2 General] kr00t0n:
Glad you got it sorted dude :)

As it stands, I use Coreplayer 1.36 for any SD videos (so pretty much all tv shows and movies), and use the previously mentioned WinMEnc profile for convert 720p videos to mp4 for viewing in HTC Album.

Just last week I finished watching Season 4 of Dexter converted from 720p to 800x480, and the quality made some of my mates' jaws drop to the floor.

I did notice that I didn't soft-reset my phone, after a few days I would get judder in scenes with lots of panning, so now I just soft-reset before getting on the tube to watch whatever I am watching. :D
[HD2 General] jonbaker76:
I really don't understand why i have such issues with coreplayer when most others seem to be fine, although other people do complain about it.

Did you check this link?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l_payztRQks

that is the sort of plaback i get in coreplayer (no matter what settings, and with everything (sense, wifi, updates etc) switched off)

notice how it stutters on occassion. Is this a rom issue maybe? because as i've stated beforfe, the htc album is also stuttery and i'm 99% sure it was ok on 1.44
[HD2 General] vivek310:
@jonbaker - here you go.

1) Open C:\users\<user name>\application data\roaming\Handbrake

2) look for a file called presets.xml (or user_presets.xml if you have created any custom profiles)

3) insert this bit of xml in:

<Preset>
<Name>HTC HD2</Name>
<Query> -f mp4 -w 800 -l 480 -e ffmpeg -b 1800 -a 1 -E faac -6 dpl2 -R 44.1 -B 128 -D 0.0 --subtitle scan --subtitle-burn=scan --markers="C:\Users\home\AppData\Local\Temp\2001-1-chapters.csv" -v 1</Query>
<PictureSettings>true</PictureSettings>
<Version>0.9.4</Version>
</Preset>

4) Open Handbrake - you should see a "HTC HD2" preset on the Right hand sidebar - click on it and set it to default.

5) Select the source and destination

6) Make no other changes

7) Click on start - takes about 45 min on my two year old laptop to encode a Blu ray rip to an mp4 - the avg file size is around 2 GB after compression

8) Copy into your photos folder on the HD2, use the in built player to play the movie (I've read that the HTC photo/video viewer is h/w accelerated, however, TCPMP is not able to use hardware acceleration due to licensing issues)

Try it out, let me know how it went. Ripped and watched hurt locker last night, so I know it works for sure :)
[HD2 General] Reignzone:
So, is TCPMP in fact the best possible alternative to the standard multimedia player?

I'm just curious... but I digress.
[HD2 General] Shasarak:
If either of the built-in players (HTCAlbum or Pocket Media Player) will play a file, then you should use them, as only they are able to take advantage of hardware acceleration.

For other file formats, CorePlayer is usually the first choice. TCPMP is useful if either you are too cheap to pay for CorePlayer ;) or you want to play something with AC3 audio.

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] mafijozo:
I am having problems with my battery life on HD2.

Currently I use ROM Duttys Leo V2.2 with radio 2.06.51.07, but I tried atleast 10-15 different ROMs and radios (Miri/Laurentius26/Xanny/Sternas ROMs and others with all bases from 1.66 up to 2.10).

I made several tests with tbattery and logged the results, this is what i get (Current values):

- screen off -> -13

- screen on 10% -> -83

- screen on 30% -> -102

- screen on 100% -> -214

The tests were made on 2G connection with max signal, with no data connection.

My battery usually barely lasts 2 days with very light usage, with moderate usage i have to charge the phone every day. Maybe this is normal, I just hope it's not...

Can someone throw up some comparison numbers please? I already wanted to bring the phone back and demand a new one but I am not sure if something is actually wrong with it.

EDIT: before someone asks, I use MTTY for flashing and always do a hard reset after the first full boot. Tests were done with a clean ROM install, with no aditional processes running.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] pistachu:
Hi mate.

Wich program you use to test battery? Anyway mine last around yours, with few usage barely 2 days and with moderate use 1 day. Im using xanny evo rom 1.2 and 2.08.50.08_2 radio
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] mafijozo:
I wrote in the subject, i use "tbattery".
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] tobbbie:
Instead of relying on tools and cope with individually different use-pattern, why not simplyfy the test to the bare minimum and come to comparable results? The method is described here: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=5558375&postcount=1

Anyone can do it and the results are comparable - could not be easier.

You have to leave your beloved gadget sitting alone about over night - but then you know if the battery has a problem or if it is your use-pattern.
