I've also tried to put some 'sitcoms on the Blade (Bottom :) ) but the quality of these are really bad even with the same settings. My problem is that i have been able to convert various dvd's and get them to run on the Blade (although the sync is off and the playback stuttering at best) with a mixed degree of success Starwars = pretty decent quality, Xmen = average quality, Predator = terrible quality. I've been watching this thread with interest - video has been a huge stumbling block for me on the Blade. However, if MPEG-4 is used the file plays fine using the phones player.

If the file is encoded using the H.264(x264) codec then the file will not play. If it can play using the default player then RockPlayer can use Hardware Decoding.ītw - Using Froyo 2.2 FLB R8a Edited Februby cmberry20 I think this is linked to not being able to play the file using the phones default player. Has anyone used Handbrake successfully so that their MP4 files have a good resolution & will also play using the default player?Īlso, The files that get converted can only be played by RockPlayer using software decoding - I have an MP4 from my old phone that allows me to play it using Hardware Decoding Mode. I know the phone can handle this res as I can play the AVI file using RockPlayer but a get Audio/Video sync issues - sometimes very badly, as much as 5 seconds. A normal AVI file is about 640 x 300 & I need to convert it to 320 x 150 which is half the res. However, heres my problem: When ever I use Handbrake to convert an AVI file to an MP4 file I can only get it to play using RockPlayer, the default phone player cannot open the file.Īlso, I have to convert the AVI file to a smaller resolution or else it wont play smoothly - Video is very slow but audio is ok. I perfer Handbrake as it seems to convert the files a lot quicker & i perfer the interface. Been doing a bit of digging around & most people either use Handbrake or Super C to convert their video files to MP4 H.264(x264) which the Blade is supposed to support out the box.

Handbrake convert avi to mp4
