Hi everyone,
After some research, I don't success to watch without lag a 480*320 mp4 video. I have read several times that Htc Hero video must be compressed that way:
MP4
Codec : H.264
Size : 480x320
Aspect : 3 :2
FPS : 25 ou 30
Bitrate : 480 ou 384
Audio : AAC
Frequency : 44100
Channel : Stereo
Bitrate : 96
I try with an X-files episod, that last about 40 minutes. The video is very laggy when the camera is moving: I don't understand.
Then I try a naruto shipuuden episod, that last about 20 minutes. The video displays is correct, no lag, but the picture is not as sharp as the picture display on a HTC HD (HTC HD, I miss U).
Has someone had managed to compress a video which last more than 20 minutes, which can be played on the Htc Hero without any lag/picture short freeze?
NB: sorry for my frenglish
Use videora with settings for default ipod touch 2nd gen. Works perfect.
I try with videora, but the video displays still laggy (every 2-3 secondes a small freeze). I don't understand: I try with an other 40 minutes length video, the results are the same, whereas I don't have any problems with a 20 minutes length video.
Can you tell me the size and the length of the original video that you have compressed?
yup, iPod settings work fine. Converted the Avatar trailer (1080p version) to a .m4v and it plays very well. Amazing picture quality too from the HD QuickTime source.
i use MediaCoder (iphone setting) and have a crystal clear and stutter free video/audio of a 1,3GB concert converted to something like 550mb mp4....i can't imagine the quality better actually :/
More info
I get terrible jumpy video using videorama itouch 2nd gen settings, using the Album video player.
Can those of you with either working or non-working video, please post the type of SD card you're playing it off (class 2, 4, 6) and the manufacturer?
Also, could you post the software versions?

Standard Orange with the 2GB card it came with.
Probably not the fastest on the market
I can't understand.
The video tutorial ship with the 2GO microSD card displays on the hero without any lag. It has 1143 kbps. Then, I play a 540 kbps video, and I got lag...
It seems I cant play video at all
I can play the video that came with the device in the SD card but cannot play anything else.
I have to use ES File explorer to find the video first and then play it, the album doesnt show the video. When I play it, I can only hear the sound, no picture. If I scroll to the middle of the video, I can only see a single frame stuck with the sound playing. Very weird.
I encoded the video with Xilisoft as instructed with the ipod touch setting..
Guys, not sure if this helps but I've been watching movies without problem on my Hero. I use 'Magic DVD Ripper' using following format:
Profile "iPhone".
Video type : MP4
Frame rate : Original
Volume : Original
Resolution : 480X272 (Wide Screen)
: 424X320 (Full Screen)
Video Codec : MPEG4
Video Bitrate : 800 Kbps
Audio Codec : AAC
Audio Bitrate : 80 Kbps
I run it from a Samsung class 6 card through 'htc albums' so this might make a difference. I'd recommend making sure there aren't many apps running in the background before starting up too.
There's still room for improvement, searching back/forward through the video is unresponsive but hopefully updates may improve this.
I'm having a much better time using PSP formatted movies. Now its not 100% like how the demo video is, but it is alot better. I've used torrented movies & also converted my own using Imtoo. If anyone wants any more details just ask
Anyone have the demo movie - I seem to have deleted it from my CD card.

I've tried 4 Different SDHC cards (different classes):
Averages (using card reader)
Kingmax MicroSD Unknown 2GB:
8.2MB/s Read
Sandisk MicroSD Class 2 2GB:
9.8.1MB/s Read
Transcend MicroSDHC Class 6 8GB :
13.1MB/s Read
Sandisk MicroSD Class 4 8GB:
18.9MB/s Read
Averages (using G3 as card reader)
somehow HD Tune keeps disconnecting my mounted drives, so I used teracopy to copy a 400MB file to my pc's SSD for testing:
Kingmax MicroSD Unknown 2GB:
8.3MB/s Read / 3.8MB/s Write
Sandisk MicroSD Class 2 2GB:
8.8.1MB/s Read / 4.0MB/s Write
Transcend MicroSDHC Class 6 8GB :
10.0MB/s Read / 9.8MB/s Write
Sandisk MicroSD Class 4 8GB:
11.6MB/s Read / 9.0MB/s Write
Given the fact that the card reader inside the G3 is mounted, it still gives decent performance.
I've given a 2000kbps video (1 hr) for it to test run with a lot of motion, it does stutter sometimes but most of the other scenes runs just fine on both 8GB cards. the 2GB cards, however, do have stutters here and there.
Use Super
Actually use anything you want.
Settings are as follows
Format: mp4
Video:
320 x 240
Aspect 3:2
25 fps
528 kbps
Audio:
64 or 96
44100 Sampling freq
chanels 2
This should play very well
I suggest you use the meridian app.
Freeware available on the market.

i agree with above, i use allok video converter and set it to the max quality for iphone (settings all built in) and video plays 100% perfect. watched heroes yesterday on my htc hero (ha ha) and it was totally perfect and great to watch.
use any video converter you can find on the internet, they all have iphone setttings built in and off you go
Does any player support replaygain? I find the volume on some videos a bit low. I use handbrake with the ipod presets. Is there any other converter which has the option for normalising audio?
I searched for it for hours ... What i need is a fullscreenplayer for kaiser,the only ones i found were 1.05 for Diamond and 1.7, but they both dont work. I need this because my htc album doesnt work, i installed mov and dshow but i cant find the proper fps, with diamond fps the video is showed on half of the screen and every picture is buggy. Can someone pass me link to a valid fps for Kaiser ? Thanks in avance.
If you are looking for a player for your phone trying TCMP.ESTE BEST PLAYER IN HOW MANY ARE THERE
Use TCMP.
Search on google for download .
Is good stuff.

Thats not true.. Try WinVibePro, Super sound quality, it filters the music by a good build in decoder, Also can boost up the bass, so cheap earphones can sound like expensive.
Hi,
Anyone tried using handbrake to do video conversion to mp4 h.264? I'm using 0.9.4 and not having much luck. All i get out is the audio. I can convert to 480x320 resolution on Videora but trying to get 800x480, or something close to that resolution. So i have this video i want to convert and in Handbrake i used the native 720x304 screen size at 24fps. I think i tried 29.997fps too. I am wondering if the bitrate needs to be some specific multiple like 768kbps or 1.5Mbps. Is there a configuration that will work with the Nexus? Thanks in advance.
[update] so i stumbled upon this link that may or may not help.
http://matthodology.com/n1/2010/03/02/convert-movies-for-viewing-on-nexus-one-using-handbrake/
i will try it out tonight and let you folks know.
[update2] hey what do you know, it works! i used the "iPhone & iPod Touch" preset and it looked pretty good. exciting! need to experiment with more videos. follow the instructions in the link and make sure you adjust the width appropriately. definitely don't try a resolution that is over the source resolution, that's just wasteful! hehe
I know the physical sizes of the iPod/iTouch are about the same, but isn't the resolution 2 times less?
Nexus One Resolution: 800 x 400 = 320,000 Pixels
Iphone Resolution: 480 x 320 = 153,600 Pixels
2.08 times less?
It would seem you are not getting near the resolution the phone is capable of.
my problem was Handbrake was saving everything as .m4a. Change your extension to .mp4 if you haven't already done so.

somehow that particular preset works, you can adjust the output resolution in the first tab. from what i'm seeing it seems like it's working. i will use a media tool to check the resultant file's resolution tonight. good point though.
The Windows Mobile part of the forum has a great application that has thus far worked great for me.

I actually just got handbrake set up doing video conversions for the Nexus, but it's at home. If I remember correctly, I used the iPod settings, then changed a couple of values (namely setting the width to 800 by default and letting it keep aspect ratio) and set a preset. Looks fantastic on the Nexus, I'll try to see if I can export the preset somehow when I get home and send it your way.

try format factory... it has a preset for the N1
Handbrake is great , has alot of options, as usual it is only good if you know what you are doing, so we need a preset that WORKS.
right now I'm testing HD Encoder by projection, runnig it on Ubuntu usin Wine 1.2 Beta , well it has ceashed ... will test more.
The good thing is you have just 3 options ... so it's easy to use

Rats, I can't seem to find a way to export a preset, so I'll just try to type out what I set. I know I started with the iPod preset:
On Picture, I have Width = 800, then click "Keep Aspect Ratio" and let it populate height. Anamorphic set to "None", Cropping set to "Automatic".
On Video Filters, everything is set to Off and unchecked.
On Video, Video Codec is H.264 (x264), Framerate is "Same as source", Avg. Bitrate is checked with the value of "1500"
On Audio, the one track is set as Source: Automatic, Audio Codec: AAC (faac), Mixdown: Stereo, Samplerate: 48, Bitrate: 128, DRC: 0.0.
Nothing special for Subtitles or Chapters
Advanced I've got:

Motion Estimation Method: Uneven Multi-Hexagon
Subpixel Motion Estimation: 6
Motion Estimation Range: Default (16)

CABAC Entropy Coding: Unchecked
Psychovisual Rate Distortion: Greyed, all the way left.

Hope that helps!

Thanks for this.
I am able to export presets, so after I'm done converting "Fight Club", if the settings worked, I'll update my reply with the preset attached.
[edit]
15 hours to encode...fuxit.
The preset (using Swervo's info in the above post) is attached. Remove the .txt extension.
Just downloaded and installed Format Factory... where's the Nexus One preset?! Under Google, there are two for a device called GX... neither with the correct resolution.

I just use the iPhone/iPod Touch setting, the resolution is lower, but it looks fine and keeps the file size down. I've converted seasons of TV shows and it works great

It depends on your computer's specs... but even on my laptop, which is running a core2 duo with 3gb of ram, it takes about 60% of the time of the length of the movie, or maybe a little less.
lol, takes me 7-12 minutes to encode a 2hr movie to 80% of original size
Hi All,
So I have read all the threads I could find about video players on the Nook Color, and I am still having a little trouble. I don't know if its normal, so I am looking for some help/advice/guidance. This is going to be long, but it's because I am trying to be as thorough as I can.
My Goal:
To have a 7" tablet that browses the web, reads/writes email, lets me IM, reads ebooks, plays video files from my video collection, plays music from my collection, runs Pandora, Netflix, and Hulu, and is capable of swype (slideit).
What I have:
I have a brand new Nook Color that I bought just for turning into a tablet to play with (3 days ago). I started by rooting with nooter, and flashing CM 7.0.3 stable (2 days ago) to the emmc through CWM. I have since updated to CM7 Nightly #144 (today - more on that later)
My problems:
So I was happy with everything in CM 7.0.3 except for its video playing capabilities. I was using Moboplayer (I didn't download any codecs or anything, just straight moboplayer from Market). I know that the advice of the professionals on here is to use handbrake to convert whatever video you want to watch to an exact format that is ideal for the Nook, however, I, like many other people on here, have tons of movies (7 TB), and I have tons of places that I play them (every console, psp's, ds's, laptops and netbooks aplenty, etc.). So I don't want to convert them, and I have read several threads where people are playing un-converted videos without problems. So I picked a random episode and tried to play it. Here are the specs of that video.
Total file size: 349MB
Video -
Length: 42:26
Frame width: 624
Frame height: 352
Data Rate: 1003kbps
Total bitrate: 1152kbps
Frame rate: 23 frames/second
Audio -
Bit rate: 149kbps
Channels: 2(stereo)
Audio sample rate: 48 kHz
While in 7.0.3 with Moboplayer the video runs ok and the audio is sync'd up fine, but its not silky smooth. It looks like its running at about 18fps. I don't know how to find the exact framerate, but it is just a little less then when it plays on my computer, and it is just barely low enough to cause enough chop to be annoying. So the first thing I tried was downloading Dalingrin's 042411 OC kernel for eMMC. I thought if I overclocked my processor, it might solve the problem, and my research on this forum led me to believe that was the right OC file for my version of CM. I set both the min and the max to 1300 and still had the problem. In my research I also found that many people were talking about how Dalingrin had unlocked hardware decoding in some of the newer CM nightlies. Also, the OC kernel already exists in the newer nightlies. So I downloaded the newest nightly. I am now on #144. Once I got back up and running, I downloaded Moboplayer and tried again. Same problem. Even overclocked. I saw someone mentioned using the Neon codec pack for moboplayer. For some reason the Neon codec pack doesnt show up in my market (although a bunch of other Moboplayer codec packs do). So I went to Moboplayers website and downloaded the Neon codec pack zip file. I tried to install it with CWM in recovery mode, but it keeps failing. Having done some more research I downloaded a player called VitalPlayer Neon (there is a non Neon version but I paid for and installed the Neon version). When I play that same avi file in VitalPlayer is starts it and a little window pops up at the very beginning that says "Software codec play!!" The video (and several others like it) plays silky smooth. I couldn't ask for a better video playing experience. However, if I go into the settings for VitalPlayer (Settings -> Decode Mode) and tell it to use hardware codec, when I try to play the file its says, "Can't be played!!" Am I missing something?
Summary - So my questions are:
1) Is there a way to monitor FPS?
2) Don't I want my video player running with Hardware codec?
3) Why isn't my video player running with hardware codec?
/** Note relavant to thread *
<rant>
When I am done, I am going to write (yet another) guide for how to do this the easiest way for someone looking for a tablet/ereader experience like I was, that doesn't mind paying a couple dollars to get it right. The advice I have gotten on this site has been AWESOME, I just wish it was compiled a little better. It seems like people try so hard to get the free apps to do what they want, that they miss the $1.49 app that does it perfectly. And you have to dig to find the non-free apps that do what you want. Theres a few threads where people are jumping through hoops, spending hours and days, and screwing up the CM installs to get swype to work when for $4.99 SlideIt is up and working perfectly in seconds. Money well spent for me. Also, the $1.49 for ezPDF was priceless compared to the hours I spent trying other pdf readers that wouldn't even remember what page I was on when I stopped reading. ezPDF should be the defacto standard for PDF reading IMO. I can even resize what I am reading to a legible size and it will wordwrap (text reflow) for me so I don't have to move left and right on each line.

Not every zip file you see in Android is intended for flashing! Yikes! That zip you downloaded is most likely just compressing/wrapping an apk. Look in the zip.
Be glad it didn't run
I looked there, and I just see an apk.. http://update2.moboplayer.com/apk/armv7_neon-release.apk
And it says that moboplayer SHOULD automatically install a codec, so not sure it'd help but it's worth a try?
a) Just install the codec apk like any other, and MoboPlayer will automatically pick it up.
b) You can't use hardware decoding unless the resolution is at or below 854x480, period. Since your content (presumably) is higher resolution than that, software decoding is your only option. The good news is that (when overclocked) the Nook is indeed capable of dealing with pretty high resolutions, the bad news is that battery life will suffer.

Hey Khaytsus,
I am glad it didn't run. In retrospect I definately should have known better then to try to let CWM "flash" this instead of "installing" it (so tired). That website does list it as an apk, but when you download it, it downloads as a zip. Should I have renamed it to apk and tried it? MoboPlayer didn't download anything when I started it, at least not that I saw (may have done it in the background). Either way I uninstalled it because VitalPlayer is working. I just need to see if I can make it do hardware decoding.
Thanks for the help!

Hey Rodney,
In Re b): Since my video is Frame width: 624 Frame height: 352, doesn't that mean my resolution is 624x352 ... < 854x480? If not, how can I check to see what resolution my video is? I got those stats by right clicking the avi file properties -> details.
You're right VitalPlayer plays that video beautifully. Thanks for the tip about the batter. I will keep an eye on it.
Thanks,
Josh

There's a bit more to it than that, actually. It must be in a MPEG-4 container using the H.264 codec with baseline profile level 3.0 or less. AVIs need not apply. =)

Hey,
As an update to this thread, I used Chisleu's Handbrake profile from this thread, and converted the video with the specs above. The new video did play with hardware decoding in both the stock player, and VitalPlayer Neon. It did not look quite as good (just an iota of a difference) as leaving the file the way it was and letting the software decode it. However, when I ran the new file with software decoding it didn't look quite as good as it did with hardware decoding (again miniscule difference). Summary: The original file looked the best, but wouldn't play with hardware decoding. The Handbrake'd file looked just a tiny bit worse (hardly worth mentioning) with hardware decoding, and just a little worse still with software decoding. Below are the file specs from right-click -> properties -> details.
new Handbrake'd file = left / old as downloaded file = right
File Size: 186MB / 349MB
Length: 42:58 / 42:59
Video -
Frame Width: 624 / 624
Frame Height: 352 / 352
Data Rate: 475kbps / 988kbps
Total Bitrate: 603kbps / 1137kbps
Frame Rate: 23fps / 23fps
Audio -
Bit Rate: 128kbps / 149kbps
Channels: 2 stereo / 2 stereo
Audio Sample Rate: 44kHz / 48kHz
Also noteworthy: In refference to the battery suggestion, since I upgraded from CM 7.0.3 to CM 7 Nightly #144, my battery performance has been stellar.
Thanks,
Josh

Also noteworthy: In refference to the battery suggestion, since I upgraded from CM 7.0.3 to CM 7 Nightly #144, my battery performance has been stellar.

If you want the handbrake transcoded file to look as good as the original then you're going to need to match the video bitrates.
I generally transcode my videos with handbrake before I use them on my Nook. It doesn't take too long on my PC and the battery savings with hardware codecs is worth it to me.
Media playback is still a work in progress. The hardware codec "pickiness" isn't going to get much better but things like Flash and higher resolution and bitrates should improve in the not so distant future.
No miracles though =)

If it gets no better then it already is, I am extremely satisfied. I left yesterday with a full charge at about 3pm. I went back to my room, watched an episode of Numb3rs (thats the file I was using for my tests above) with software decoding, played about an hour of airport mania, and read some Isaac Asimov for an hour. It is now 2AM (11 hours later) and my battery is at 74%. I even have the Bubbles live wallpaper which is supposed to eat up my battery. This thing is almost perfect in that it does everything I want, does it well, and does it efficiently. Thanks for your hard work on it Dalingrin.
Now if I could just figure out my music problem from the other thread, I'd be golden.

Are you streaming or copying to the nook and playing? If streamimg, you can use vlc convert and stream to transcode on the fly, otherwise handbrake is the way to go.
hi all, I am new to xda, I've registrered few minutes ago but I'm noot a supernoob. maybe only a little noob if everyone who wants to ask some questions on modded tab is considered as this.
so now i must reply to 10 posts which i'm not interested at all to be able to reply to the only one i need? (i'm running new cm 7.1.0 - 2.3.7, fully functional) on my galaxy tab and want to make some questions, even surfing over 200 pages of a thread searching for an answer has been very very hard).
thanks for your help
russel51
So whats your question?
yes, what is your question?
And don't waste time using the xda search. Use google.
the question seems very clear to me:
"so now i must reply to 10 posts which i'm not interested at all to be able to reply to the only one i need?"
now the count il 2...

It wasn't clear to us.
Its not 10 seperate posts, its ten replies anywhere. They all count
i understand, but i'm not interested in anything else than the topic about cm7 on gtab at this time. i must reply 7 more times to 7 different topics saying "hi all" to the users and hope not to be banned?

Sigh, last try, WHAT IS YOUR QUESTION?
don't worry, WiredPirate has already answered the question. thanks anyway

Alright, but ya had a cm7 sgt7 developer basically begging you to ask your question.
too bad, hope you get to ask your question and get it answered eventually.
Good luck!
man, i misunderstand you: i think that you was referring to the question in my first topic and you can't understand it, i'm sorry.
it's not properly a question, i try to resume all (many of it can be included to the main post about the cm7 port on gt7 to prevent a lot of questions contained in the 200+ pages).
i was coming from latest firmware EURO release of android for gt7 2.3.3 on samfirmware (JQM) with CF-ROOT kernel 3.3 and CWM (3.2? - not important).
i tried first to flash via recovery the .zip, no luck, freeze on boot animation (samsung galaxy tab); as said in the topic even if freezed new cwm is however installed.
i've tried a couple of times to flash with the new recovery with no luck (same issue).
so let's go with heimdall (first option, no repartition - the benefit of flash with repartition is not really cleared to me as i read in the post, can you explain it?)
all good, cyano boot, i've done the 2 wipes and a software reset from the android options, followed the wizard and get my system back fully funcional with clean cm7.
as said in the topic with heimdall version i have market already installed, tried all the options to install all the programs i need and the only one working correctly is the oldmarket.apk found here on xda.
other gapps didn't install from recovery (many tries, many wipes )
so now i have all like my old official 2.3.3 but very, very, very, very, very faster and with best dpi. good work and thanks to all the team made it possible.
so, here is what is not going ok:
1) video playback - i can see all my old videos and divx in the icon preview in file manager and in the gallery. when i try to open it, audio goes ok, but video is full green (same green of initial "audience" page of movie trailers).
the same thing happens to any other video i try to play: youtube app, browser,...
this thing happens on 1 reboot on 3, the other 2 times all is ok.
2) video recording - video recording is possible, using videocam illusion app setted to 800x600 capture resolution. video is not the best of the best, but it's working. videos are in the folder "videocamillusion", mov format.
even with lgcamera you can set the options to capture a movie (with better quality than videocam illusion), but the app fail to stop the recording and crash.

if can be helpful or someone is interested this is the data of an original video file made with tab 2.3.3 from samsung:

3) GPS: using sygic (11.2.0). with the stock rom the gps fix was almost instantaneous (10-15 seconds). now i can get a good gps signal only after 5-7 minutes, before that there are 5-6-7 satellites locked, but with poor signal.
maybe you can add even a short line to the first topic, sort of:
"download heimdall for your platform, extract it, place in the same folder the extracted heimdall rom, navigate with cmd to the heimdall folder and run the command:..."
this will prevent many questions and will save a lot of time to the first time heimdall's users.
so, thanks for your work, for your help and for your patience, i hope to help the development of this beautiful rom giving feedback.
