Thread: Video Playing

Here's is another thing that bothers me...

I've been trying to play video files in my TD2 but no matter what format do I convert my source file, MP4, AVI, WMV, the result is crappy framerate in my device's WM player,like the device hasn't got the computing power to play the video!

So far i used Total Video Converter and iSkysoft Video Converter.

Anyone had better luck with his videos?

Please, if you can describe in which format do you convert your files, with what settings, and in which programme.

I use pocket divx encoder. also free.
And tcpmp works great for playing on the pocket pc.

Well I dont bother converting files since I just purchased Coreplayer, which can play most codecs. Great program only the interface isn't as perfect as I wish it to be. Framerate is excellent and rarely drops

Coreplayer is indeed a lot better, paid, but better.

Playing full framed video drains your battery quite badly. The best is to use low encoding (adjust to your ppc screen resolution) and convert it. Why would you put a 700mb movie on an SD if you can get exactly the same quality with a 140mb movie?

I think you have a point there.

I tried many different encondings and so far the best result is to use H.264 encoding to make .MP4 files with bitrate 600-750 Kbps, and sound 128 Kbps AAC / 2 channels.

Lastly, I want to point out that THERE IS a difference when you encode in higher bitrates (1500 Kbps) because the screen of the device is so damn goooooodddddd....
