The newest CP is nice (I have it too), but it will not play the h.264 files the way the cr@ppy WMP (or HTC Album) will.

The h.264 files I have encoded at 800kbps look like a slideshow in CorePlayer, they play perfectly in WMP.

I am running mighty rom 4.10 (ran juicy's 4.7).

I run avi's of movies thru the encoder program posted on xda forums. I encode at 600 kb and video playback in WMP shows a subtle stutter during playback.

Anyone else noticing this?

But its strange that you say you're doing that with a 6700... an Xscale CPU of at least 400mhz, WM5, and TCPMP should be more than enough for decent DivX video. I switched entirely to DivX when I got my HTC Tornado, and that was only 200Mhz!
Honestly, nowadays I don't even touch WMV. I don't even have any lying around to test with since the format is practically obsolete in my opinion.

On your 6700, test a 350kbps Divx encoded vid side by side with a 350kpbs WMV. You'll see the DivX delivers sharper and higher quality video at the same frame than Windows Media 9 encoding does. But anyway, this is waaay off topic. I've never encountered anything that would imply the Qualcomm chips wouldn't play wmv just as well if not better than the Xscales of yesteryear.

dishe,
I appreciate your comments, but I am aware of what works and doesn't on the Apache, I wasn't asking about the Apache.

I was wondering whether any of you have tried WMV on the Touch Pro? And what results you got?

FYI, Don't take my light post count around here as a guide to my skill level, I was moderating PPC stuff before ppcgeeks came on line.

Thanks,

I have a video in .wmv (I'm sure it's .wmv, I made it) on my TP and the quality in HTC Album is, well, dismal. The FPS is oddly low and there are skips seriously often and sometimes it does nothing at all for a few seconds before jumping to another frame.

ok so after reading most of the post here..what i've found to work best on MY touch pro is using CORE PLAYER and using total video converter (which can be d/loaded for free here)http://www.freedownloadscenter.com/M..._Download.html

and i convert my video files into h264 avi format and i have NEVER had a frame drop yet..that i've noticed and it compresses 300 mb tv showws down to 60-70 mb with out losing quality..ALSO mvk formatted movies will work also as for they too are compressed movie files

I didnt get an answer on what is the fastest converter out there. Any suggestions?

Hi,

I've played with both CorePlayer (which I tend to use to create small file sized avi's that play on my Touch Pro), and now WMP, because I would like to have higher quality vids that I can video out to my TV. It seems I can create high quality mp4's that run smoothly, but tend to stutter when I'm listening on my BT headset.

Anyone have any advice on what the highest quality I should try to encode to mp4 and still be able to use BT for audio?

Thanks!
