I am trying to convert a number of MP4 videos taken on my XDA2 into a AVI or WMF format but cannot find a program to do this. I have purchased a number that say they do but when installed do not recognise MPeg4. I would also like to watch the videos on my home PC - what program will do this please?
Thanks

Quicktime plays MP4. No conversion needed.

QuickTime can play XDAII *.mp4 but no sound, isn't it? Could someone help me on this matter?
MP4 from XDA2... ...and DVD
It is still usefull to convert MP4 to MPEG2 or MPEG1 - because you can burn your videos on DVD or VideoCD and show them then on TV.
But what is the best tool to do it?
MPG4 convertor

Try to go to the SETTINGS of TCPMP and then on File Assocations check every box to the files you want TCPMP to work with / be default player for.

Xilisoft Video Converter Ultimate 5.1.22.0305
this program rocks.. i did it..
if anybody needs a convertor to work with HTC...
use teh blackberry mp4 preset. ;o)
Can also use SUPER... Freeware conversion software. Nothing flash, but works OK... Converts a pile of formats though from avi to matroska, MP3 to ogg...
The thing with MP4 is it's like AVI - you can have one of many formats inside the MP4 wrapper.
It might be that the MP4 file has an H.264 video stream and an AAC audio stream - try playing it with CorePlayer Mobile or the Omnia MP4 player. I'd suggest you try playing it on your computer first (with something like VLC or Media Player Classic) - that way you can see what codecs it's actually using, and if needed transcode the file to a format which your mobile phone can play.
Thats why I like SUPER. It has specific settings for a multitude of devices, PPC's are on the list. Its up to you to choose the size of the screen, the frame rate and audio codec used but I find it works well and fast.
Cheers...
hi guys,
unfortunately there is no up2date thread in these forums bout this topic and i am also not sure whether there are news..
so, any1 knows when some kind of software will be released to play normal avi, divx, xvid, mpeg and so on?
Strange that we've still not had anything along these lines coded up yet.
I'm sure it's just a matter of time, hopefully when the official kernels get released.
Maybe then coding will be more 'open' than it currently is on the Hero platform.
http://coreplayer.com/content/view/28/69/
And we all know what CorePlayer did for the WinMo platform right?
I'm surprised its taking so long to create divx codecs for android...
on my nokia n80 i was able to play divx files, and it didtn have the half of cpu power compared to hero. dont know what these fuc*ers doing there!
DivX is a mpeg-4 encoder, and the hero can play back mpeg-4. You probably are using some older version of divx that did not produce standards-compliant video files or you put your mpeg-4 in a container that the video player on the hero can't read.

The container is AVI - Android does not support AVI containers. That being said, I did encode a file using Handbrake using MPEG4 (XviD) in an MP4 container and my Hero would only play the audio not the video, whereas it worked fine as H264 in MP4.

Question, why do you want divx capability when it can do h.264?
coz u dont have to convert those videos then!!
just put them in and play them directly on ur HERO!
All mobile devices, play video better when its encoded to the screens resolution, I do hope you are doing this. iTunes does it for you but I use Handbrake. when scaling the vid down, change it to h.264 and your on

If you still have divx files then you need to get better vids, HD MKV files are the only way to fly.

and where do you find 32+GB microSDHC memory cards for those vids...
What I mean is, you take a 4GB 720p hd mkv and shrink it to 480x320 and then put that on the hero, works fine.
hey everyone,
i've been searching the web for a while now and couldnt find out if there is a patch or something for htc video player to support .avi files.
its really important to me as i tend to watch movies on my hd2 a lot.
but tcpmp is not a great option, it kinda lowers the quality of the videos and kinda sucks.
IF there is a way to play .avi files, IT WOULD BE SO AWESOME, it has hardware acceleration and all.
thanks in advance.

In a word, no. The HTC video player won't answer your problems.
Setting up TCPMP correctly, however, will solve your problems.
Have a look at the following post and try setting up TCPMP/CorePlayer as suggested. It makes a world of difference!

The HD2 does support AVI. see thread and go to multimedia.
http://www.htc.com/uk/product/hd2/specification.html
But you must be using DivX AVI, or Xvid AVI... for HD2 use AVI MSMPEG4-V3 (*.avi) this works for movies. You can download a video converter via Google

Or he could read the answer above which will solve all his problems without converting a single file

If you are running Android on HD2 then take a look at this forum;

Hello Guys,
Just wanted to know if Dell Streak can play 1080p or 720p Videos or not?
I tried playing mp4/ avi files using Rock Player, they worked with lag, is there any work around?
Have you enabled the hardware acceleration in the build.prop?
Sent from my Dell Streak using XDA App
I convert them to .mp4's to watch on my Streak.
The Streak is only 800x480 so theres no point trying to play a 1280x720 video.
A converted 720p .mkv file is soooo much better quality than its .avi counterpart.
I use the Touch HD Encoder, a very simple and effective program.
Can I ask what program u guys use to convert the video files?
Sent from my Dell Streak using XDA App
i use Rock Player from Market to play video files; i try 720p and 1080p mkv movies with subtitles and works perfect 100%, like on computer with hd video card .
there is a great program in the forum called "Encoder" - I have used it to convert videos to mp4 for all my previous phones to play without any lag.
I use arc media player, not come across a file yet that it wont play, everything from avi, to mkv to mp4, in any definition. Great apparently and its free!
Sorry if this is OT:
I am having issues getting my DVDs converted to digital on my desktop. I was trying to use handbrake, but it always came out funny (jagged sound and large rainbow pixels across the screen). I assume this is some kind of copyright protection.
Right no I am desperate to convert my library to digital back ups that I can toss on and off my devices at will. Any insight on how to solve my problem would be great.
I used Handbrake without any probs - did you choose the best settings? I used Presets Normal, Video Codec Mpeg-4 & Picture Size Custom - I resized using Aspect Ratio.
I followed a couple guides online. I m not even talking about it getting to the phone, it won't even play on the desktop.
So far I ve used these settings:
720x480
264
mp4
EDIT: Just for clarity. Should I be using VLC since Handbrake does not decrypt? (I read this after a google search please inform me if I m wrong).
