Hi,
with WiMo i was able to play podcasts (h264/aac, 368x208, ~200kBit/s) somewhat smooth with TCMP. With android i get - well - with some luck a frame per minute. I would have said its because of a incomplete/non-optimized GPU-Driver but Youtube (SD) plays fine so for me this looks more like a codec/app-issue. Has anyone already looked for a solution? Any tips on codecs/apps that should work?
SD works, yes. HD/HQ youtube does not however, and I think it's related to a scaling issue.
We're not done with the port... I think this is a pretty minor bug considering the other major ones we have out there....

...hm… for me exactly this looked like a codec-thing… i dont know the mobile side but for pc i remember something like VP6 for SD and X264 for HD on Youtube. But thanks for the tip, i'll look into this direction too.

As you already said in another thread: Everyone has his own priorities
Just see this thread as my notepad - i collect my results/ideas here, if someone has made own tests he can add his results and if someone wants to have a look on his own he knows what has been tried already…
B2T: With the described movie i have about 10-20% free CPU-cycles so this should not be the bottleneck. hw3d has no effect (guess this doesnt really affect 2d acceleration). Changing from fullscreen/stretched to original size showed also no difference

Not a bad idea, I'd like to see this bug squashed.
I've heard it was a scaling issue - have you tried different resolutions? I know someone tried the native resolution of our RHOD, but that didn't work either... I guess I'd be surprised if it is codec, as you can get frozen frames on YouTube HQ and audio plays just fine. I am by no means an expert here tho .

I am no expert either but would not the codec be contained in the software such as Utube. And the Multimedia architecture would mostly bypass the Processor. So the problem to me would seem to be routing and timing issue. Thus the beggining frames play but stop due to the loss of coordination.

I don't even get any frames to play at the beginning.
It starts with a black screen with audio...
If I skip ahead, I can randomly get freezes of images, but that's about it.

What you say supports what I am saying about routing and timing. I am thinking in general terms not specifics and I am no expert.

I would think its the processors job to coordinate the frame of reference for the timing. The actual MMS stuff would use that frame of reference to process the video according to the codec provided in the software. The routing and or timing could be screwed because HTC needs a way to get around patent laws. The could have done something as simple as changed polarity or phase or something more complicated as recode with another chip. The audio would works because its simple to process. Our drivers are not doing what needs to be done to process the information. It would have nothing to do with the codec which is contained in the software. Like I said I am guessing.

Then again the Architecture in our older phones might not be fast enough to process the HQ resolutions.
No, this isn't a question of processing power, it's a matter of having the right codecs installed. I've seen Youtube HQ working on my phone before, running one of tiad8's FroyoX builds with camera kernel, months ago.
The behavior you see where you can skip around and see one good frame, but otherwise nothing, is caused by the actual encoding of the video, and the current codec lacking support for it. (The difference between B frames, I frames, and P frames, if you care to look that up...)

Interesting.
So what do we need to do to get the codec support? I'm assuming the kernel clocks are finally right as well...

That is based off of Tiads cut and paste Blazn if I am correct which was good for video playback but everything else was buggy. This proves HQ can work on our phones.
My question here is wouldnt the Codec that was required by the utube app. be contained within that app. or if it was not when it tried to play back and the codec was missing you would get nothing or a reference to download the required codec such as happens with other operating systems.
Or if the codec is contained in our current version intact. Then it is not referencing the codec properly which goes back to what I originally said about timing and the coordination with the MMS architecture on the phone. It looks as though Tiad had found the proper channeling. Did he leave anyone any information about this before he left this forumn?

He never gave anyone anything useful from his builds.
He was just slapping stuff together, and would see what stuck to the wall.
I heard people had issues with his builds on HQ youtube, and I even tested his junk and wasn't able to get HQ to work... so I think it's just more BS from him.

I dont know for youtube but most 3rd party video-players i've seen say that supported codecs are device dependent so i guess they are in the rootfs, not the app.

I think I remember reading the issue the with getting decent video playback wit the MSM GPU is is getting information on the hardware. The codec used to play HQ video on Windows mobile comes from HTC and is written specifically for the MSM7x chipset using proprietary information - information which is not available to everyone, or can only become available for a price and an NDA.
Perhaps there is binary blob that can be used?

Perhaps a binary blob could be dug up, but we couldn't use it in the AOSP builds. Only custom builds would be able to use it, or individuals will just have to integrate it themselves.

If we can't get source, so be it - but a proprietary blob does very little good in the scope of this type of project. I want everyone to have the best Android experience possible, I don't want just a few builds working correctly and others borked. That sucks.

Probably due to same issue with HQ Youtube videos huh?
How can I bypass the "This device is not supported by Netflix" that I get when clicking on a title on my Instant Queue, so I can see if it is working or if it just audio only. Is there a way to spoof the app into thinking I am on a supported phone? If so, please tell me how to do it. Thanks.
There is an apk that will not check for device compatiblity but yeah no video. For me it plays audio and then it kicks out back to the queue. I wish it worked. Anything we can do?
Can't tell anything without knowing what codec / format Netflix is using in this app. I'm sure they're using H.264, but if it's not H.264 Baseline Profile then our phone hardware can't decode it. And if it's larger than 640x360 resolution, our current codec can't handle it.
I don't have a Netflix account so I haven't tried to see what formats they're using.
The current codec we have is written in C++ with threads. I'd say that's at least a 10% performance hit right there; if it was written well, in straight C, it would probably have achieved the 800x480 that Qualcomm's original spec claimed.

HQ YouTube works more or less. There's a little stutter sometimes, and some HQ videos start and then stop after 5 or 10 seconds, and some others play just fine. Oh, and the libs fixed video playback of the mp4 movies I already had on my device.
Weird thing is, YouTube under WinMo refuses to play HQ videos at all.
Nerts is funnier.

It used to. Some time back YouTube changed something, and now HQ videos play without sound (I was thinking they didn't play at all). Supposedly you can fix this by changing your network to "media," but I don't have that option any more since I upgraded to 6.5.

I just rebooted to see. Worked fine for me, I'm on 6.5 - but I used Opera... I don't know if there's some app that I should be using, perhaps it wasn't truly HQ.
Either way, if it used to then there shouldn't be anything limiting the hardware. Seems hyc went thru all that pretty thoroughly tho.

I was using the HTC YouTube app. I tried it on two different 6.5 TP2s and they both do the same thing, HQ video plays, but no sound.
And your right. I know the hardware is capable, just somewhere along the way something in the software got screwed up on YouTube's end or mine.
Anybody try changing the build.prop to HTC vision or desire z or any of the phones that works with Netflix that's how we have it working already in my section

I don't think the new version checks to see what model you're running.
The new Netflix app has a LOT of compatibility issues.
They still can't get it working on most Huawei S7 ROMs, and that device can do 720p easily.
I currently have 'VEGAn-TAB ROM BETA 5.1 FINAL' installed as of yesterday and it's already crashed while I was watching a video. I know Gingerbread doesn't have video acceleration so I would like to avoid that if possible.
They're all pretty darn stable. And they're all listed at my site.

It may not be the rom that caused this...what video player was being used? what file format was the video in? when did you select if you were given the option of hard coding or soft coding? Where there are plethora of apps running in the background? What exactly was the "crash, forced reboot, lock up, video/audio distortion? Did the video file play properly on another device, ie your computer?
There are many players out there, some work well, some work kinda "eh." Some can't handle some video formats, some can play them, but not properly. Some vieo formats require decoding, hard or soft (I like hard when speaking of ice cream, but software decoding ususally works for my videos).
I'm using BC (the 1.2 version of VEGAn 5.1.1), and rockplayer to play video. I've been thinking of trying moboplayer, since it seems to have received rave reviews on this and other forums. I've been able to play .avi files with software decoding. MP4 files play fine, but the quality isn't as good..they're made for mobile devices with really tiny screens.
When I rip or download a movie, I almost ALWAYS make sure that it runs fine on my Acer netbook (same screen size) to get a general idea of what I can expect on the G-Tab.
in a nutshell, your issue may not be the rom at all...VEGAn 5.1.1 is probably one of, if not THEE most stable 1.1 based rom out there.

Thanks! I looked at the site.It is a darn good site.
Hi all,
I thought I'd write this up since Handbrake worked GREAT for converting videos, but every 3D video it converted never outputted audio! It could well have been my fault, but either way this solution is fast, free, and (IMO) a bit more user-friendly. Special thanks to the user who pointed out Freemake.com (I can't find his name now, started with an N. I even messaged him but XDA's not saving my sent messages? God I'm a noob....)
Anyway here you go, this method was flawless for me, I've got about 5 3d movies now on my 3VO with gorgeous sound (Resident evil afterlife is my fave so far):
_____________
1) Download Freemake Video Converter
2) Locate a 3D video file.
-Make sure this is a SIDE-BY-SIDE video--meaning that if you view it NOT in
3D it just looks like 2 images side by side. IF your source video is like
that bluish-redish kind...sorry I don't know how to help.
3) In Freemake, click video--then browse your computer and find the video you want. I've been using standalone .mkv files; I'm guessing this will work when grabbing files off of 3D blurays too though?
4) Double click the video and it's put into the Freemake queue.
4b) Load up more files if you want
5) Now click "to Android" at the bottom of Freemake
6) A box pops up. Click the button under the word "Preset" and go all the way to the bottom and "Add Your Preset"
7) Make name your preset something appropriate like Evo 3D. Now use these settings:
-Frame size: size up to
- Width: 960
- Height: 540
-Adjustment: Original
-Video Codec: H.264
-Frame Rate: Original
-Bitrate Type: Custom
-Bitrate (Kbps): 1500
Then for audio, click the "Custom Audio" button and use these settings:
-Audio Codec: AAC
-Channels: Stereo
-Sample Rate: 48000 Hz
-Bitrate: 256
Click OK and it should save your new preset. Now choose where you want to save your converted files (note: you can't change the file names of your converted files at this point I don't believe). Note that this conversion will leave your original file INTACT.
Click CONVERT and THAT'S IT! You're Done! Check the status bar, but after about 20-40 minutes a regular movie should be done.
Now just plug in your Evo 3D, access the SD card from your PC, and copy/paste the newly converted file onto your SD card (What most of us do is create a new folder on the SD card called "Video" and then place all our converted files here).
Use GALLERY to watch your movies--it should find the files automatically. When watching, it will usually start by playing the file as two images side by side. Just hit the options button and choose "3D", confirm, and there you go!
NOTE: Not all of the above steps/settings may be necessary, and there are probably some great ways to improve it...I only went this route because the route everyone else was taking (using Handbrake instead) never outputted audio for me
Note: if you're looking for 3D movies, search for "side-by-side" or "SBS"...that should be helpful. Some have suggested signing up at 3dtorrents.org, and I agree that that site is worth investigating...
GOOD LUCK!
The Panamaniac
...wow, was I the only one that Handbrake wasn't outputting audio for ????
Works great! Dumped Handbrake for this. Love the way it uses my GPU so my CPU stays low on usage (Handbrake took almost 100% on all 6 cores).
Awesome, so glad it helped!!
The interface is much less intimidating too, IMHO.
Thanks for this. It works great
Great to hear!
Has anyone else seen better or worse results using different audio settings?
Oh, and something I forgot to mention: To get the aspect ratio correct on your EVO 3D, you may need to go fullscreen beFORE entering 3D mode (in Gallery, of course).
Best,
Panamaniac
I followed OP's direction to convert the mkv to mp4, I used the gallery to play the file, I chose play in 3D, but it still played the image top & bottom, no 3d effects.
Handbrake audio wouldn't work for me, but this works perfect!
OK, so your initial file was a top/bottom, not side-by-side (SBS) file, is that correct?
That might make a difference. But first, try this: play your video in Gallery, make sure it's in FULL SCREEN mode, then tap the options button and choose to view in 3D, then confirm.
Do you know a website where I can DL a sample top-bottom 3D video? I haven't seen these before but I've heard of them. Is there an abbreviation for them?
Thanks!

Yes, the initial file is top & bottom, I got it from SBS. I played the file in Gallery in full screen mode then chose view in 3D, no luck, but still thanks for your help.
SBS Stands for side-by-side. When you say you got from SBS...do you mean 3dSBS.com? I looked into that site but downloading seemed like a huge pain..!
So the source file is top-to-bottom?
The bottom line is that I've heard the EVO 3D can't do Top/Bottom 3D files but I have not confirmed that.
OK without having a top-bottom source file to tinker with...
My hilarious but possible useful suggestion is this: after you load up your video into the Freemake queue, click the edit button on the right side (has scissors, etc). THEN click to start watching the video once the edit window pops up and....
HERE'S MY CRAZY IDEA: Rotate the video 90 degrees! Then the two images will be "side by side" now instead of "top to bottom"....
Of course the ratio might be a little weird, and you might have to watch the whole thing as a smaller picture on your phone...but fiddle with it and let me know what you think. In a perfect world that would make you now be able to watch your move in portrait, it'd just be a very tall movie (so then you'd have to lock rotation..plus I"m not even sure gallery let's you watch in portrait so...GLHF there!)
If you want to dropbox or PM me a top/bottom file I'll take a look, but like I said I haven't found any yet so....
Good luck!!!

I got the file from 3DSBS, the clip was the Sports Illustrator Swimsuites 2011.
Ya that site was a nightmare for downloads, I tried to get part 1 of the Swimsuit and it took...10 hours? ppf NTY.
Anyway I did some digging and the short answer is that there might be some really LONGGGGG arduous ways conver over under to side-by-side but I sure didn't find any easy ones.
Since I worked so hard trying to find a solution here, you gotta do me a favor---turn your file 90 degrees, then convert, then try running it as 3d and tell me what happens?
Nice write-up
I was using HandBrake with no success. The audio was consistently patchy.
Going to give this method a try now
Thanks.
Thanks!
Yeah, I never heard anyone else complaining about the audio from the Handbrake method, but I'm assuming that's because most people were only converting 2D movies. All I know is I followed their guide exactly and never heard a peep.
Please let me know if anything doesn't work. Currently I don't know of an easy way to convert over/under 3D video (the limitation here I think is the Gallery Program itself).
Wow thanks for this. I've been looking far and wide!
Awesome, glad I could help!
And like I said above, if you find an easy way to convert over/under 3d for use on the 3-VO that'd be great to add to the knowledge base
I did the exact steps you mentioned but the video conversion didn't seem to work.
Freemake reported that the file would be around 1298 MB but the end file was only 200-something MB. Viewing the video on my phone (and PC) shows a video that is all black, but with the audio.
Anyone else get that problem?
im lost on #2, if we are trying to create a 3d video where are we suppose to be locating a 3d video file
I am still lost on the source video. Please explain to me how to implement this step. When I choose video to convert I am choosing a regular video format right. Where does the source video come into play.

I've taken alot of 3D videos using standard camera app. I think its called 100% side by side or maybe 50% side by side .mp4
I've seen LG phones have the choice to save taken 3D films into normal 2D format in gallery. Why doesnt EVO3D have that option?
Anyway I'm looking either for an android app to do this on the phone itself, or a windows software that can do it.
I asked in another thread and someone suggested stvmkre.exe but doesn't work either, it can't work with the xxx.MP4 films shot by EVO3D...
Any ideas..?
The thread about 3d apps recommends wondershare or handbrake for the PC, maybe you can try those?

Those attempt to convert 2D fiims into 3D, and they dont do a good job at that...
My problem is converting my already 3D films, shot using my EVO3D into 2D to watch normaly on any pc or TV...
Both are video editors that do whatever you set them up to do.
You can always buy Adobe Premiere Pro CS 5.5

Ulead has some mid range stuff that are good for the price:

Magix Movie Edit Pro has 3D support too, for a decent price:

Happy now?
I was generaly hoping the EVO3D would have this function (like the LG 3D) or maybe an app from market place....for pc something along the lines of "free" software, maybe some open source project....
not if it means having to buy or loan proffesional video editing software...I'd probably need a quad core super pc to spend hours converting smartphone 3D home made films...
Wow you are so picky...
Handbrake posted in the link above is freeware open source.
Wondershare was free, not any more though.
No need for a quad core, 720P on a dual core is fast enough.
Graphics card acceleration helps in the pc apps that support it, beats quad cores if you have a decent 3d card.
How is he being picky for wanting something that honestly should've been on the phone in the first place?
No I don't believe Android or the EVO 3d has any way to crop a video like that.
If you want to do this with Handbrake, what you can do is simply take the width of the image and cut it in half. SBS video is just the two camera images put next to each other.
actualy Im more pissed with HTC for not adressing this missing feature...LG give you the option to save a 3D film as 2D on their phone...why doesnt HTC?
there is an option to save 3D pictures as 2D in Gallery and 3D films can be viewed in 2D but why cant they be saved in 2D as well...
It isn't in there because devs are still human and they are lazy. It's a lot more work to convert video than it is to convert images to 2D.

picky - overly selective(including over small details as well a obvious things)

Posted at least 6 ways to solve the problem, no thank you's, just the same question over and over again.
Here is the 7th way:
Use the share to youtube function, I believe that your 3D movie will be in 3D if youtube is setup to run in 3D, or in 2D if you prefer to watch in 2D for some reason.
Please do not give me the LG can do this crap or that crap.
I hate the ugly LG.

Thanks for the support, you understand the dilema perfectly
You are welcome, does the YouTube share function mentioned in the previous post cover you needs?

That works great, I just tried it. Thanks for the instructions
Will HTC ever have an in-built 3D to 2D video save function, maybe with Android 4?
re:3d video to 2d
3D videos to 2D conversion could be the course of action of transforming to ensure we are able to watch the 2D movies in 3D form on our 3D units or players. And UFUWare 3D video to 2D Converter can help you.
Hmm, I think you could get AVIdemux to help you.
