Movie Playback Choppy on Pro.. - Page 2

The new coreplayer takes whatever I throw at it and play it flawlessly! No skipping or loading. Only had one problem in it was with a MKV file

Try this video - MP4 format - in Windows Media Player. http://keepvid.com/save-video.mp4?ht...Nof%26fmt%3D18 For me, it's completely flawless; jawdroppingly smooth. It looks amazing. If it's choppy on yours with nothing else running, perhaps something is wrong. I should say that I do indeed believe that some videos play more choppily than they should, but that one shows it can do perfectly.

I too have zero issues with perfectly smooth playback of full movies in tcpmp/coreplayer. But people want something to harp about so they dismiss the logical answer for the common HTC screwed us with drivers routine which will get them nowhere except more gray hair like last time with zero results.

So true and what I have been saying all along too.

I was personally hoping for some better performance on the TP compared to older PPC's but was dissapointed when I couldn't even play some standard movies on it without some slight lag. I would like not to have to convert a video, that's one of the reasons I got this device - so I could watch some videos without conversion but that doesn't seem possible for most of my recent videos. Granted I am extremely pleased that it was able to play one of my recent animes I threw at it (Vampire Knight Guilty) so I know I won't have to convert that, but all other high-res ones are a no-go

Did you expect to lay an entire DVD on your SD card? If not, conversion is the only way so I am not understanding your statement. All the movies I have play just fine and I use SPB Mobile DVD.

Most DVD Rips can come out at about 700mb, I can fit that :/ I just hate wasting time with conversions but I just need to find a good converter (even with my Quad Core I'm impatient

)

That's weird my quad rips movies in 5 to 7 minutes.

That rip is still a conversion

It's no longer in the standard DVD format so it was converted...unless you only pulled out the menu and additional languages and even then, the TP won't play a native DVD format. It still must be converted to avi or what ever the case may be. Anyway, TCPMP is what I use to watch my movies and SPB Mobile DVD is what I use to convert them. My files are between 300 and 700 depending on the movie and what ever. My movies play smooth as a babies butt. I guess I can contribute that to Juggalo's rom since it seems like everyone else is having issues .... /shrug

Okay, for the moron.

Lets say I have a home movie .avi video around 700mb on my computer. If I wanted to play this movie of my sons high school graduation for family off my phone for christmas what would I have to do / use to get this going? I assume I would need something to reduce the file size, and some kind of player for my phone. As its the holidays the cheaper I can do this the better.

Links help the slow guy.
