Hi,
i converted a few movies with h264/512kbits/25frames. The movie plays a few seconds smooth, than it dropps a few frames... How comes?
Does this depend on the read access speed of my sdhc card? Its class 6.
The same problem playing podcast e.g. rtl akuell, best of youtube.

Mine is working great with vids.
I have SILICON POWER 8GB MicroSD.
Maybe it comes from the way they are converted.
Try doubleTwist. It's working great with my Hero.
I used EncodeHD. It's a fantastic program converts about anything to anything. Including a recent update to have a conversion profile of "T-Mobile G1".
That has same screen size and res and G2 so works like a dream
The following both worked fine for me:
1) Encode with http://handbrake.fr with the ipod/iphone preset.
2) Download video from http://video.google.com via "Download video - iPod/PSP"
I tested a bit with further h264 options, and B-frames are definitely not supported (just like iphones/ipods). Size-wise, I find that with all h264 tricks turned on, one hour of full resolution TV at pretty good quality ends up being 300-400MB. Restricting to h264 playable on the iphone/Hero and resizing to 480 pixels wide, the file ends up 150-200MB at similar quality.
It is not a problem with the converting.
I tried handbrake, videora, TMPGEnc etc.. all programs I use for my iphone.
I also tried less resolution, less frames, 512 kbs.. etc.
The problem is the same with regular video podcast.. in 320*240...
It looks like the video stutters for a small moment.
Maybe my phone is not o.k.?

More likely the problem is with the mini SD card, I think. I used the 2GB card that came with the Hero, which is class 4 I think. Maybe try a different card or test your card on a different computer.

Hi
I am new to this and have purchased a new HTC Advantage on WM6.1. I also have a Touch Diamond. It there anything i should do to have the Advantage running at its best or any good apps that would make its more useful?
I will mainly use the Advantage for mobile working, email and reviewing documents. I also will use it to keep my banking blog up to date while on the move.
Thanks in advance for your help.

jonryan,
Welcome to the forum
You might want to try out SoftMaker, which lets you have full office documents creating, editing, and viewing capabilities. In fact, it has exactly the same full desktop functionalities on the 5 inch screen.
Of course, viewing videos on the move on this large screen is something no other phones can match. This includes doing youtube on the move too, with either Coreplayer or YoutubePlayer. I use both, but more the later. I always prefer to save it first before watching, as it means I'm charged the data download cost only once, not to mention the smoother playing of the video too.
Another software that works uniquely well only on the Athena (again it is because of the large screen) is realVGA at 96dpi. No other phone is really still useable at that dpi IMHO.
The Athena also manifests it's strength using GoogleMap. You can see the satellite maps so much more and better.
Same goes for Webbrowsers, eReaders, PDF file readers and the like. You can see MORE with the same font size as the other phones.
Cheers.

Does Coreplayer download to save youtube videos or does it stream?

Coreplayer streams, but very high quality and fast.
Guys
Thanks for all your replys. It is great to get such good information and actual user specific info. Will let you know how it goes.
Thanks

Since July I have an annoying problem with playing a video which was made by camera in VGA.
It freezes every 1 - 2 seconds.
I have problems only with this type of video.
Which packages do I have to replace?
Or do I have to do something else in my kitchen?
P.S. Tried 2.14 - 3.14 Drivers.
Does anyone know, how to solve this problem?
Please, HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
try core player, it reads many formats and is very smooth

TCPMP (The Core Pocket Media Player) is a free alternative. This is where CorePlayer came from. It plays any format with the best results, it can even display subtitles. It will make the best use of your hardware. Assuming you have an HD2, it will play DVD Rip movies without any problems, just as you get them on your computer.
I want to get rid of freezes for default (HTC) player, because I want my HD2 work better with default soft.
You could try installing leo cpu speed and disable speed scaling, that may help.
Sounds like an issue reading from the sd card though, it may be worth backing up your files and formatting the card.
Did you change roms recently, i.e. around July 1st?
I made the last my rom yesterday.
And this issue have all my users.
Doesn't anyone know how to solve my problem?
If you could upload a sample captured video, then somebody can try in their mobile and then you identify its an issue with player or recording format,bitrate etc.
Anybody know what the best (optimal) conversion settings are for the htc titan?? I have a few blu ray videos that i want to convert for the phone. I used these videos on my samsung focus and they play fantastic but on the titan i see stuttering on some seens. thanks in advance
same issues here. tried multiple samples, changed framerate from original to 24, 29, etc. I'm wondering if this is something HTC/M$ overlooked?
I just converted some 720p shows for my titan and it works fine. The framerate might not be perfect, but it's consistent and you won't notice it. I used mp4hd with HD2 settings, High quality.

What program are you using?
looks like our frame rate issue is resolution related. My earlier samples where set at 800*480, which are default for this OS/device, and noticed the FR stutter on slow camera pan scenes, however, this is resolved when i used 640*480 and bumped up the kbs to 4000 (my preference, you can go lower), keeping the FR to original or 24fps. 720*480, DVD default, gave me the frame rate "bump" every few seconds. this was confirmed using Format factory, Tipard blu-ray converter, and IMTOO vid converters. i used XBOX hd video settings, WM9 vid codec along with the above settings and Im good to go. Hope this helps.
I have been noticing that youtube when in HQ mode has about a 5 second section where the voice and picture kinda match up and the pictures starts slowing down but then there will be 2 seconds where the picture speeds up to match the voice. The voice always sounds right, just the picture does a lil hop to catch up.
It's really noticeable if you watch the same video on your pc and then go back and watch it on your note.
Things I have tried:
I have tied using regular mode and it works just fine.
I have tried wifi and regular 3g connections. (haven't tried 4g yet bc I am about 2 hours away from any)
I have tried different wifi connections. (3 to be exact)
I have tried using the youtube widget and the youtube app.
I have tried the youtube website.
All of them do the same thing.
Has anyone else had/seen this issue?

I'm going to bump this, i'm having the exact same issue. Had it before i rooted and overclocked the kernel,and even before i installed a custom rom. I've noticed that it only happens when i view a video in fullscreen/landscape, viewing it in portrait on Youtube is fine.
In addition, 1080p videos from my SD card play absolutely perfect.
It has to be a size/format issue
Hello All,
I did find that if I format a movie as the larger size it works just fine.
When looking at movies formatted for a Captivate (Galaxy S1 800x480) the note has the same issue.
I just got Game of Thrones Season 1 and I formatted it for the ipad (1200x760) and there is no issue at all.
Yay for weird stuff.
Hopefully ICS comes out and resolves the issue.
Thanks,
Kevin
Hey I'm having issues with my LG V30+ From Sprint. I'm having issues with recording a video that lasts more than 11:53. I'm trying to record a full softball game but the recording cuts off at 11:53 and creates a whole new video. How can I make it just one long video without having it be a Time Lapse video? Thanks for the help!

Is it "11:53" limit -- or does it just happen to coincidentally be 11:53 due to your high resolution settings? In reality you are running up against the Android 4GB video recording limit? Like if you set it for 720p or more efficient codec you could record more than 11:53? (see post below)
I didn't even know about this 4GB limit until the other day... How do people record concerts then?
Recording with stock app limit on 4 GB

Hi! I'm getting a V30 this week and I also plan to do a lot of video recording with it so this is of interest to me. I did bump into the 4GB file size limit on Android as well when recording long videos with other Android phones such as my V10. First I thought it would have something to do with FAT32 storage format which has a 4GB file size limit but after doing some research it seems it's not related to FAT32 but a (arbitrary?) limitation of the Android OS. However, some Android phone makers seem to be able to tweak the OS in such a way that you can record beyond 4GB, for instance Sony (tested it on a Xperia XZ).
Regarding the V30, I just happened to come across this recent thread which is talking about a new OS update for the V30/V30+ bringing features of the newer V30 ThinQ to the older V30(+): https://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-v30/how-to/oreo-update-ai-camera-t3760379. Now the interesting thing is that one of the new features listed says "Google Drive supports downloading files larger than 4GB". It could be nothing after all but maybe, just maybe, this also means that Android on the V30 now generally copes with files larger than 4GB and that this will also affect recording video with the native app.
Other than that, a few thoughts how to tackle the problem:
- Judging from my experience with the V10, the native camera app of the V30 should have the option to change the recording bitrate. If you can live with a lower bitrate for your video, you can squeeze out a couple of more minutes recording time. On the V10 I was able to record over 1 hour in 720p resolution with the low bitrate setting.
- I don't have the V30 yet, but maybe the native app (or some 3rd party recording app) has the option to record with the newer H.265/HEVC video codec instead of the (still) common H.264. The superior compression of H.265 will allow you to have a much smaller file size while keeping the quality, ergo you will be able to record a lot longer even if the 4GB file size limit continues to exist.
- OpenCamera is only one of the 3rd party camera apps that support auto-restart: If you find the audio to be terrible you could also check out "Cinema FV-5" or "Filmic Pro".
That being said, I'm glad to hear that on the V30, the native app at least seems to automatically restart after reaching the file size limit. On the V10, you have to manually push the record button again which is annoying when you just want to place the camera somewhere and keep it running while you have other things to do.
Still, let's hope Android get rid of this limitation asap!
