I'm looking to put full length movies on to my s743. I was wondering If I should stick with windows media player or not. Also I want to make the videos the smallest foot print I can. I use to have a program for my old Sony Ericson that I could get full videos in decent quality down to a gig. Just curious how you guys are going about doing this fast and easy. Glad to be a part of these forums and look forward to a response.
personally I'm using "avs video conventer" and convert videos to mp4 320x240...to my opinion it's the best...
In order to play the movies I use CorePlayer because media player lags when I try to move fast forward the movie...CorePlayer works really smooth!

Hello
I wonder what program/codec pack I should use to be able to watch the films that I watch on my computer. On my PC I use Media Player Classic with K-lite codec pack and I can watch mostly all film formats, including .flv and stuff. On my HTC I can hardly watch anything. I currently have Core Media Player and Windows media Player on my phone. What do I miss?
Thanks!

Try This...
I've used this for over a year now. It's not designed specifically for the Rose, but it works - that's all that matters!
Set the output resolution to VGA (640x480) and they will play fine. You can play the converted videos with HTC Album, no special codecs, or additional software required. I use it to converted .avi and .flv, but I'm sure it will convert a lot more than just those two formats
On my S710 (not tried on my S740) I use PocketTV Classic (free one) or TCPMP (Core Media Player) depending on the file type. Either is 100x better than Windows Media Player for any video I've tried but as grahamkdt pointed out you should use a utility to convert the source videos to a phone-friendly format: type (diff compression types require more or less CPU usage & may only work with certain players), resolution (pref match your screen res) and bit-rates that your media & phone can keep up so it's not choppy. Once you optimize video files & try a few players you should be able to get some pretty decent playback on a Rose considering I was able to on my old S710 which has a lot less power.

Cool thanks, hadn't seen that version.
As far as converting, why make your phone work harder than it has to & waste a ton of space on your storage card when you can just spend a few minutes converting videos to optimize for your phone? Especially with super fast computers these days it doesn't take a few seconds to a few minutes now. Of course you wouldn't convert in certain circumstances (like if the original wasn't very hi-res to start with) especially if you're only going to watch it once & delete to free up space but if you plan to keep it why not shrink it down and have it play even smoother? Besides they copy over usb or onto flash a lot faster when they're smaller. Plus not sure any phone can handle HD let alone blueray yet and who'd waste the space if it could.
haha yes i know bill, but in my case, unfortunately, i suffer from a serious case of laziness and procrastination so i just can't really be bothered with getting more programs and go through all the work to convert stuff, i dun even convert the ones that i want but can't watch on the mobile lol those that i want but can't i just watch them on the computer and curse my mobile with some nasty words
Firstly can you watch movies on the X10 coz I carn't find anywhere to download them?
Also can you rip DVD's and download them to the X10? and if so how and in which format?
I've been trying for 2 days now and Icarn't get a single movie on.
Please help if you can.
T..
I use Rock Player to play movies when I am traveling. It support different formats not just mp4 which is supported by X10 natively...
~Thanks~ Do I need to download it? I really dont't know what I' doing. My ipod is magic it does it all for me but it's not a phone so its not always with me.

Just purchase the app in the market and put the movies on your SD card. You can drag and drop. It is just as simple as using iTunes, if not more simple because iTunes is prohibitive and not very user friendly.
If you're watching movies at home you can use VLC Stream and Convert. It encodes movies on your computer and transfers them. Until the X10 has native DNLA support this is the next best option. Perhaps it may be even better because anything you can decode on the computer is virtually what you can watch on the X10, other than Real Media encoded files in my experience. Haven't contacted the developer (TravelDevel - very awesome developer), so it could just be the codecs on my computer. Not too sure.. (video works, sound doesn't)
Sorted. Thanks to all for your help
I use SuperC to convert anything I'm putting on, that way you know it will play and can resize to fit the screen perfectly.

Handbrake is pretty sweet for ripping dvds, too
It produces mp4 files which can then be watched with the shipped player

You're welcome! Nice to hear you have sorted it out...
I use xilisoft video convertor to convert my movies from my K750i - W800i - PSP - W960i - X10i days.
Still like using it.
I think whichever softwares you use, as long as you get the configurations right and save to mp4, it should be all right~
I've downloaded the handbrake as recomended but I'm unable to get it to rip any DVDs. All I'm getting after scanning is a black blank box and nothing else. Can anybody help or recomend any other free software I can use. I have got aura dvd ripper pro which I downloaded to use for my kids arcos 405 but the audio track is always around 5 seconds behind the picture.
Where am I going wrong? You guy's all seem to have it sorted. I spend a lot of time in hospital and would so like to rip my films and put them on my X10 so I can watch them when I'm away.
Has any of you cleaver lot got any goo ideas onhow I should proceed??
Sorry for hijacking, which format is best suited for X10 when I convert with handbrake ?
Picture size, file format.. ?
Hello
Im looking for a media player that can reproduce all possible formats (mostly videos). Something like VLC for Android would be nice.
Anything out there?
Rockplayer is awsome, but it's only for videos, and it's not free either, but worth the $, so far it played any video I threw at it. Videos over 2GB tend to play a bit slow though.
Vplayer alpha is your best bet. It is free and it supports all fortmas.

Also option is to get xiisoft (take regard of name typo) video converter who got a lot of profiles to optimise playing from multiple different devices and such, one of those profiles includes lot of android devices.
To just span the options here.

I see it is free but just has ads at the bottom (of the program I assume; Not during playback)
Thats alright.
can we get a new thread on this? i would liek to know what to use
i think MX player is the best one or else you can go for paid player they will give more formats and mx player is best for watching videos and also you can add custom subtitle and there is an option like video play back hahaha it is very interesting while lock the phone and listing audio without video.
Well I don't like the stock multimedia app timescape at all. It is terribly slow and stuffed with useless random sorting of things like "most viewed" "most recent". Who uses these anyways? They don't even have a widget for the music player!
I am using power amp for music, quickpic for photos (I know it's only got like 10000 to 50000 downloads, but it is simple and it works! God, this is all I ever wanted. Btw this awesome thing has multiple picture sharing which is cool).
Once I abandoned music and picture in Mediascape, it is pointless to use it for video only. I don't watch movies or anything with my phone, but I do shoot a LOT of hd videos and want access to them as quickly and easily as possible. I've been trying out quite a few softwares from the market but none of them serve my purpose. Any suggestions? Comments?
i use the stock gallery for pics, winamp for music.
I use RockPlayer for watching movies and mediascape for watching the recorded HD videos.. PowerAmp for music because it is simply the best with FLAC codec support.. Gallery for pictures..
Tried rockplayer already, it's useless cuz it doesn't display thumbnails. How am I supposed to navigate through the videos without thumbnails?
I've been using Real Player for videos, it is kind of nice and with thumbnail support...

Mplayer is the best with great codex support ...
I use PowerAmp for music, it supports all file formats (I think), lyrics etc...
And mediascape for videos and images. Rockplayer for non-.mp4/.wmv. =)
I like doubletwist because it's got a simple look to it. Can play music and videos. Check it out.
Hi Friends,
Please suggest me few best video convertors for xperia x10 that doesnt compromise in video clarity and scaling....
I have very good music videos that i want on my phone!
I've used the program MediaGo! that comes with the x10 to put AVI files on my phone. It works great, you just drag'n'drop the files onto your phone with this program and it will automatically convert the clip to a format the X10 likes.
You could also try an app such as RockPlayer, which will natively play .avi (and many other) formats directly on your phone.

I use HandBrake (http://handbrake.fr/), which is a great free utility. It's available for Windows, Mac OS, and Linux.
I use it to convert Flash (.FLV) files and MPEG-2 (.VOB and .MPG). It's not a simple drag-and-drop type of program because it allows you to adjust a lot of settings, but the resulting quality is fantastic. There are also lots of usage write-ups and help available online.
AVS video convertor perfect quality

If it helps you could just load them in the phone as they are and use moboplayer, or use media go(slow but good)

see if u want gud videos then download the latest youtube downloader and use convert to try and convert the videos to PSP videos in high quality !! the clarity is really awesome !!
hope it helps
plz thank me if it does!!
I use Audials Tunebite to covert videos and movies for my mobile devices, for example. Works fast and it can be used to convert videos to avi, mp4 and all sorts of video formats.
Another useful thing is that this one also has customizable conversion profiles that let you play around with the conversion settings and to choose whatever bit rate, frame rate etc. you need to get the files converted in perfect quality for any devices you need.
I for one am pretty happy with the way this one handles converting my videos, movies and music.
Thanks friends....but i guess playing the videos in mobyplayer was a good idea and also using youtube downloader was very much helpfull.
hi, dunno if it could help but on my mind best converter for any media is "super" (yeah thats the name lol).
but the fact is if you re looking for control just dl it's the more interesting exept if you don't really understand media format.
hope you ll give it a try
don't need to convert it, just use Mobo player. it support almost all format.
