The supported Codecs for the built in MediaPlayer are as follows ....
Code:
AAC
AMRNB Dec/Enc
AMRWB Dec
AudioFR
CCRender
ColorConversion
EVRC Dec
FltAE
FltFW
H263 Enc/Dec
H264 Dec

MP4 (fr/fw)
MPEG4 Dec/Enc
QCELP Dec/Enc
All .avi's are not created equal, it could be using an unsupported codec, some file s i have that are .avi play fine, some don't ...
Search around for TCPMP, it plays more codecs ....

So I had actually tried all three versions of the Core player on my HD2 with no success...
But I found this freeware at the Divx website. - cant post a link sorry guys! But you will find it if you seek!!
Works a treat!!
Thanks anyways. Sorry for the wasted thread...

So that tells me that your .avi's are most likely DivX or XvidD encoded, so that would explain everything ...

XDA 2 MPeg 4 Help please

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

you are missing this file. put this in your windows folder. if still didn't work then you are missing some reg settings and perhaps some more dlls. wait for crystal V2 or touch v8 they both have streaming media. with updated Codecs.
You only need a good player like TCPMP which can play all videofiles! It is recommend to downsize the files with a converter like PocketDivXEncoder, so the PPC doesn't hang!

divx and other good codecs

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.

coreplayer have removed their announcement of upcoming app for iphone and android. so maybe they're releasing in the next days somethin nice, hope so, because at the moment the situation really sucks
At least they are working on it
http://forum.corecodec.com/viewtopic.php?f=22&t=2885&hilit=android
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.

[Q] htc video player to play .avi files

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.
<3
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
Video Player that works!
If you are running Android on HD2 then take a look at this forum;

[Q] MKV files aren't playing anymore

Hi All,
I've read a bunch of thread but none of them has resolve my problem.
I was used to play MKV files with my Galaxy S2 without any problems with the default player.
But since I've made a restore of my phone, I'm now unable to play the same MKV file. There's only sound, no image. (I have tried some other player, none of them have worked)
Anyone has an idea of what's going on here? Am I missing a codec or something?
Thanks a lot for your help.
Are you on stock Samsung ROM?
Yes I'm using the original ROM
Model Number: GT-I9100M
Android Version: 2.3.3
Baseband Version: I9100MUGKG2
When I connect my device to Kies, it shows me that it is up to date.
No idea what could have happened?!
No .
You could try factory reset again .
You could try copy a new file and see how that plays .
jje
Ok thanks, I'll save everything and do a reset and see what will happen.
Still doesn't work, I really don't know why, that pisses me off.....
This is the movie I'm trying to play with my phone.
File Type: MKV
Size: 2213.18MB
Video Size: 1920 x 1080
Length 01:01:08
Video codec: h264
Sound codec: Dolby AC3 / FAST Multimedia AG DVM
Planet Earth from BBC

Thanks for the advice, but it still doesn't work.
I'm wondering if there's any kind of limitation inside the new Virgin firmware or ROM that doesn't allow me to play MKV files, cause I've tried with other MKV files in 720p and this is not working either, so it's not a corrupted file or anything.
Update:
I took a look at diffrent Galaxy S2 spec from Canada and United States
Here's what I've found:
Canadian (Virgin):
Video format supported: 3GP, MP4 and WMV (unprotected)
US (AT&T):
Video format supported: 3GP, AAC, AAC+, AMRNB,AVI,eAAC+,H.263, H.264, MP4,MPEG4, QCIF, WMV; Video, Streaming
I think I'll need to unlock my phone, do you guys think it will allow me to view my files?
Thanks again

Have you tried MX Video player? I think it's the best videoplayer available on market and it supports almost all file extensions.

Hi All,
I've already tried MX Player, mobo, and some others.
It can play in S/W decoder mode but its unwatchable it lags so much
Thanks again

I didn't find a solution for that.
