I have a Wildfire and am looking to "upgrade" to a Wildfire S when it is released here in the UK.
Both phones support the same video playback formats:
.3gp
.3g2
.mp4
.wmv (version 9)
but the Wildfire S has a screen resolution of 480x320 (vs the Wildfire with 240x320).
I don't know a lot about video compression formats but I do know there's a difference between encoding and transcoding.
I was hoping someone could recommend a good, user-friendly, transcoder that I could use to transcode my IsoHunt/PirateBay video downloads to the Wildfire (and Wildfire S when it comes out).
Either Windows or Linux clients would be great.
Thanks
I'm going to ignore the part about you mentioning illegal videos....
Using MPEG4 AVC at Level 2.x, VBR of your choosing. CQ does not work on Wildfire. Audio must be AAC LC. Use MediaCoder for advanced encoding. Transcoding is not possible from AVI to MP4.
Wildfire supports video in 320x240 max according to my own tests. Who knows if the Wildfire S supports a higher level such as 3.x.

I`ve failed to play my mkvs so i used winx hd encoder to encode them to mp4.
I used Nexus One presets - video h264 800x480 with bitrate 856Kbps, audio aac 44kHz
I cannot play it with Streak`s standard player, they are choppy on Rockplayer.
Only Vital player seems to handle them...
Shouldn`t they be played by default player?
Maybe i shouldn`t set audio to aac?
Any ideas/suggestions?
encode .264 ,mp4, 800x480
Exactly my settings - i didn`t mention h264 in my previous post but it was my codec of choice.
With these settings the movies do not play with the stock player...

As you know our phone isn't really equipped to play most videos we throw at it, so what video bitrate/resolution/framerate have you found to work the best on the Optimus one?
And please mention which software you use to convert.
THIS IS IT....
xvid codec 640*360 max with ~1Mbps and mp3/aac audio are played without conversion...(your Sitcom episodes)...
Havent TRIED h264 or DIVx playback ...on the box though it does say DIVX resolution upto 320*240..
files with ogg video(theora) and ac3 audio dont play without conversion
No 720p,1080p/i playback possible...FOR ALL HIGHER resolutions/bitrate u need to convert ..i have a personal converter favourite....hassle free and its just a GUI for the wonderful FFMPEG program...herehttp://miksoft.net
Really? Mine struggles to play 624x352 24fps .mkv files. Unwatchable.
Which video player do you use on your phone?
I use Handbrake for all my videos. Starting from the "iPhone Legacy" profile, here are the settings I use to create H.264 files:
- Video: 480 x 320, H.264 (x264) codec, 768 Kbps bitrate, FPS same as source
- Audio: AAC (faac), stereo, 44.1 KHz, 128 kbps bitrate.
Image and sound are crystal clear, but of course, you can find your own favorite settings (just don't mess with the advanced settings, our CPU only handles the basic H.264 profile).
I use RockPlayer (the free version) for playback, because it can render .srt subtitles.

Lol I m pretty sure its not mik's company and I never said I cud play mkv files ...that container is a ***** ..
Yeah it is. And thanks for that link, it works great.
I'm using the m video player. It is pretty good and plays with subtitles. Loving it. Just that the phone doesn't support higher resolution mp4 videos. Jus the audio plays and the video drags. I use demo player to play flv. Some videos play fluently while other drag and drag!!
Also ppl if you are into h264 (like masteryx is)
U could try "any video converter" here http://www.any-video-converter.com/products/for_video_free/
It is wonderful i m using it...At these setting
h264 778Kbps 480*320
mp3 48Hz 128kbps
in .avi container..Conversion is faster than handbrake

Hey...i am nt able to see any high resolution video sice past 10 days....i cud see those videos earlier bt nw whrnrver i wana play it gets stucked and then it sayd cant play video error 1,48...can u help me please?? :-(
I was wondering the same thing! *.mkv wasn't really a good experience on p500
What have been the best playing roms for video playback particularly 720p H264 MKV's?
Stick with the ROMs with hardware acceleration enabled. If a ROM does not have this, it's usually listed as such (and usually "experimental" in nature).
Keep in mind the Tegra 2 issue with high profile h264 files -- this should be common knowledge by now. If not, an FYI that the Tegra 2 does not like h264 files encoded in high profile, it just chokes. Not just on a GTAB, but ANY Tegra 2 device (including the Xoom).
To find out if your video is high profile, I would recommend the excellent (and free) "MediaInfo" tool -- http://mediainfo.sourceforge.net/en

TntLite and Vegan 5.1.1 both have hardware acceleration enabled and Rockplayer (or the stock player) both work. The only sticky thing is that I don't believe 720p mkv is supported by the chipset. Yes, it's only a container, but I don't think Android supports the container. If you remux into an mp4 (assuming it's AAC encoding and not AC3) you'd be fine.
I've had god luck re-encoding as an H264 avi at 720p in Xilisoft. AVIhd didn't hardware decode for me, but the regular AVI decoded properly (and looks fantastic). I've upped a sample at Fileserve
Xilisoft 6 has CUDA support, and rips through re-encoding on the Nvidia chip, best video convertor i ever bought. Settings were video size-auto, quality-normal, no split. i don't change the video size, because the AVI settings resize only up to 720x576...bleh.

Hey
I'm no expert with these things but I'm trying to get a mkv 720p file I downloaded to work on my Sony ericsson Arc. Rather than re-encode (takes ages!) I use a program called gotsent, that repackages the MKV into an MP4 that the phone can then play. Sometimes this works, and phones plays the file flawlessly, other times it fails to play. I use VLC media properties to get the information about the files. Two files the phone plays flawlessly. One already converted as it's a HD mp4 trailer from the web and the other a SD MKV that I
converted.
Fast Furious Trailer works

Try MoboPlayer, it's i thought free on the market. ;0
+1 for Mobo player
Thanks for the advise. However, I have tried Moboplayer, QQplayer, rock player. I find that these will all play HD files that the preinstalled player does well. However, MKV, convter MKV to MP4, the player will render using cpu only, and thus stutter.
I really belittled by how two files, looking identical in their properties, one if playing fine and the other is failing.
It is really an important feature for me, as the HDMI port and HD files will make an ideal media player/network streamer.
Cheers
As far as 720p/1080p mkv's are concerned only Samsung galaxy s1(720p) n s2 n their top end wave models can do it!

Hi. I do know this and willing to sell my Arc to get a Galaxy s2 but the Arc is capable of hardware accelarated mp4 video.
Please read my original post. I'm not trying to play Mkv's on the device, but MP4, which has been converted from MKV H264. Some files play others will not, but their properties look identical.
i think I may have more luck asking in an encoding video sort of forum? Any of you know another forum where I may find someone who could answer my question?

u gotta be kidding lol
*Edit- Try muxing the mp4 where Stream 0 is video and Stream 1 is audio. It may be as simple as that...
if not,
Can you post the full media info for the offending file?
Look especially for Format Profile and Format settings, ReFrames. If either of these are too high that may be your problem. Format Profile should be [email protected] or lower and ReFrames should be 8 or less (I think). Even PS3 and some other devices will not play videos outside those parameters. The professionally encoded stuff will work 'cause they know this and make it work on all devices. "Other" encoders usually try to do the same but some ignore it. You can change the Profile Level without reencoding but not the ReFrames.
The only thing I can think of other than that is if the bitrate is much higher than the one that works.
Can someone please verify for me that the only way H/W decoding is used is when a H.264 / MPEG-4 file is being played. I am running CM7 alpha 12. It is just a sanity check. Also, what converters are people using when converting. It could be that I am not converting correctly.
Thanks.
On paper it's supposed to run
"HW Decoding is limited to 3GP, 3G2, MP4, M4V, MKV, WEBM, H.264 (Baseline/Main/High profile) up to 1920x1080, MPEG-4 Simple/Advanced Simple profile up to 1920x1080, & H.263"
I personally never got any mkv above 480p (well i watch anime so its either 480 or 720) to run smoothly. If I really need to convert a video file, I use handbrake. Also with some mp4 files, I find that if they are on High profile they don't work, but its fine with baseline profiles.
I'm also running CM7 Alpha Final (7.2)
Below 720p runs fine here using MX Player, of course, MKV only in soft decode, to get hard decode you need .MP4 files compliant to h264 or x264, I even get full ASS/SSA rendering which is superb for those who likes to watch anime.
720p HW decode depends mostly on the profile used to encode the video. Don't expect a smooth playback with videos encoded with 16 ref frames, but the tablet plays perfectly fine high profile 3.1 (3 or 4 ref frames).
I know this because I tested.

With cortex a8 single 1ghz and a same gpu that runs slower (200mhz) and half the memory 512MB, i am able to play 720P with h/w decode without frame drops or sound chops or any problems what so ever.
I tried the same mkv's on Nook Tablet.
To keep it simple it Sucks!
They advertise 1080p and it cannot even play 720p flawlessly.
My Vibrant just flies with any mkv not over 720p.
So this little baby needs more developing for sure.
P.s
Vibrant on:
3.1.10 kernel
1.8 gpu drivers
ICS 4.0.4
Slim Rom V3.2 with V8.2 Kiss kernel.
Talking about HW decode, I'm pretty sure the tablet is perfectly capable of playing 720p High Profile 3.1 without sound chops or frame skipping, you obviously have some kind of problem in your tablet.
I've watched hundred of videos using this profile on my NT and never had any problems, everything on rooted stock rom + MX Player.
BUT, if you are trying to play 720p High Profile 3.1 in a MKV container, you are going to have problems because only SW decode works, I tested this on my tablet and you get a poor playback.
Thanks for the responses. Any ideas about best converters? I am currently using anyvideo converter. Is there a better/easier one to use? As always thanks for the help.

Use Handbrake. The high profile preset works fine, but I tweaked the preset a little to fill my needs.
The best part of Handbrake is the option that let you burn stylized soft subs on the video.
