Can someone sum up how to fix video playback on the Touch Pro2?

[Karmashock]

I've searched the forum but there doesn't seem to be a guide for this problem.

I get lots of skipping on any video I try besides the YouTube app.

I've got the core player installed but it's not really any better then ol' Tcpmp performed.

If I need to convert video then what is the right setting? On the Apache I used to set it to QVGA (320/240) at between 24-15 FPS and that was about as good as video looked on the unit. What is the correct setting if I have to dust off the converter?


Ideally, I'd like to be able to take the files that are just on my computer and play them natively on the TP2. Is that possible? These are standard resolution xvid and divx files.

It's a video converter. It's easy to use and made just for this purpose. The mp4 files play perfectly smooth using your album.

Can this convert files directly from DVD? The creator suggested using handbrake first then converting the file which seem kinda tedious.

in general for my coreplayer ver 1.3.6 this is the settings I have
I increased the frame buffer to 2400 kb first
I installed GFX and At0mAng drivers and finally I installed the TCPMP codec packs found here. I haven't had many issues with core playing any of my anime (and this is a 4.2 gb 1280x800 file that my computer couldn't play)
Very good playback

I haven't tried. I typically acquire either avi or mkv files and it converts both of those perfectly.

I do get dvr-ms files from my media center recordings and I've had mixed results at best using that program. I could convert to avi first, but as you said, it seems too tedious. If the software would monitor and auto-convert a folder, it wouldn't be bad at all.

Ill try it out later and let you know how it goes.

Well this converter seem to have trouble converting directly from DVDs. I did play around with some of the recording settings. My first try i used the default settings for cucusoft converting to h.264 and the bitrate was over 750. Setting it to 500 helped a lot. also intalling the gfx boost and the Ati driver enhancement seemed to help also. Its still choppy in some parts but much better than before. Gonna continue to tweak on it some more

Try MightyROM Impact. After installing it, videos don't tear anymore. Probably something with WM6.5.3
