Jerry Hilldenbrand (gbhill) over @ Android Central has a really great write up for android video conversion. It's not EVO specific, but it ought to give you a good starting point.

Sorry if this is not what you were looking for.

Yes I have seen that one and have it bookmarked. I don't like choosing the apple Ipod profile though. I know it will work but is it optimized for android? Don't know enough about video files to know.

The iPod would be optimized for the Hero, G1, Magic, etc... with an HVGA (320x480) screen. The EVO has a WVGA (480x800) screen. Meaning lots more pixels for a sharper picture. So... all you need to do is find a handbrake profile for a Nexus One, Incredible, or Motorola Droid/Milestone and you'll be good to go for the EVO.

Good point. Here's a blog post with recommend Handbrake settings for the Nexus One: "...just select the ipod classic preset und change the settings to 800 pixel width, Anamorphic none and the Avg Bitrate to 1500 kbps and the Audio to 2 channel AAC and you are done."
Pics of the settings also shown here: http://www.frankie.bz/blog/tips-and-tricks/convert-video-nexus-one/

funny... i read your username and inverted the letters in your username. I asked about the download because I know this program, if downloaded from the wrong site, can come full of malware. Sorry I bothered you, but I am a believer that if just don't feel like helping, you can save time and energy not replying at all. Thanks a lot mor... I mean, Mrono

I'm getting about 500mb for a 40min 720p video file using those settings, what is everyone else getting?

Bumping this. Enough EvOs out there for a good answer.

Handbrake settings
Use iPod settings to start. Use h.264 codec. Set 800x480 with "Keep aspect ratio" checked. Increase quality to 65%. Change bitrate to 1500. Rip away.

It won't let me set the video to 800x480. especially with keep aspect checked.

Tried to download Handbrake, and it wont run on my netbook, needs 1024x620 mines only 1024x600...

everyone that can run it (widjit, you should still be able to run the program...) follow the instructions HERE
the nexus uses the same resolution screen, so if you do what that says, you'll be fine.
and, here's wishing the moderators will clean up and merge the handbrake threads...

Here is yet another link on how to convert with Handbrake. I haven't used it yet, but plan to give it a try soon.

i was thinking the same thing haha

I still cannot get this to work. After its ripped, is there a specific process to putting the video onto the evo? Everytime I do it myself, just dragging it over there, I can find the file but its not playable.

Apps/Games to present the HD

Hey guys,
I'm searching for some Applications and Gamez to present the features of my HD.
Friends often ask me what I like so much on my HD and why I did't buy an iPhone. I don't know what to answer then... Always showing the Game Teeter is so boring! I testet the iPhone for about a week and wasn't as thrilled as I'm now with my HD.
Searching in the XDA Forum wasn't very successful to me
Greez and thank you for helping me...
a good start would be to take pictures of ur phone, so u can show a little but of the functions and themes.
A nice program is 'Pocketscreen' which can be found at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=328627
Thank you for your post!
I rather thought about the case when they are standing next to me and want to see what my HD is able to do... Something spectacular, you know...
Maybe we can compile a catalog of such "viewy applications"!
oh, lol, sorry then, i missunderstood ya
mhhh, so i think u r searching for advantages of the touch hd, aren't u?
well...if u wanna impress ur friends u just have to show them windows mobile...
what's so special about it? try to get tomtom or other apps working on iPhone...
Take a look at this.
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Software
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Software_1
too bad games are running slow as hell on the touch hd.........sigh.........
So you are looking for some "mine is bigger than yours" application just to show off?
Sorry, couldnĀ“t resist.....
Just go to opera, copy a random link, open an email, page the link in a message and tell them to try that on their iphone
Coreplayer 1.3.0 and put on any dvd rip movies and make them jealous with envy, as movies are gorgeous on the high resolution screen
If you have highspeed internet on your hd, just show them a youtube vid, again just show them how inadequate the iphone is as a mediaplayer.
MP3-trimmer, cut a song on the fly, save it as a ringtone and then tell them to call you, watch them squirm
I got bejeweled2 on mine, another addictive game.
Virtual pool looks pretty slick.
When they tell you there is this great program which can identify music, just say its shazam and also avaible for winmo, If they don't know then whip it out tell the hd to identify a popular song on the radio or something from another mp3 player.
I also just bought an Touch HD, i used to have the normal Touch for 8 months, was thinking of buying the iphone too, instead after MANY reviews i stayed with HTC and bought me the touch HD.
Things you can show him is the resolution, open opera with a fullsize forum and show how much text you get on your screen.
Multitasking is what an iphone can't do.
Stuff i like on my windows mobile device: MSN, fring/skype (free calling over wifi) i love VNCview for PPC so i can see my desktop PC on my HD, also love the game UNO, also LOVE Funambol ! so i can sync my calendar/notes/contacts,... all to one server and that way to my PC all bidirectional... Funambol is also availeble on iphone but only for syncing contacts because apple wants to make 99 dollar a year on their syncing service... and most of all, i love that i can keep finding settings to adjust my windows mobile device just the way i want it...
what i don't know if this is all possible with a jailbroken iphone... if it is then there isn't any big difference i guess
good luck with the showing off haha

I know these pages full of applications. Which of them are good to, lets say, "show off"...
Thank you all for your suggestions... maybe got some more!?!
!edit: where can i get coreplayer 1.3 from? u know what i mean!?! plz pm
I wouldn't bother with CorePlayer; full-res video doesn't work well enough yet.
Look at the stickied video-encoder thread and create a file for free that plays full-res full-framerate in WMPlayer on the HD. Bear in mind that most people won't understand the difference between this and what the iPhone plays though.
Then read a book at them. I had an iPod Touch and never found any way to read books that wasn't woefully inadequate.
Web pages in landscape, clicking in links without zooming in etc is a great demo.
The Hologram app is pretty cool; do a search around here and you'll find it.
But to be honest all an iPhone owner has to do is show someone Super Monkey Ball, Aqua Forest, Enigmo etc and you've lost. No amount of "But you can't copy-and-paste" is going to bring you back from that one.
just record a video when going in the freeway at 120km/h then show them.
lets see the iphone do that with that quality
Cool! Thank you for all your Replys!
I think this stuff will hunt 'em down...
1. Use Hush SMS and send Ring 0 SMS to an iPhone.
2. Show some real GPS navigation software.
3. Compare list of supported bluetooth profiles on your HD with iPhone.
Use GRemote to control your pc - see here
how about installing ORB on your home pc and you can stream every music and video file to your ppc through wifi, music is even possible over edge.
that way you can have unlimited portable media.
i use it and it works great !

Videos

ok i dont know where to post this so anyway
i have a fair few HD videos i want to put on my kaiser just want to know a good program and setting like video aspect etc etc
thanks
no one knows?
so 114 views no one knows , i have a encoder called super which is really good just need to know whats the best settings for it
thanks in advance
you could try this program maybe. I dont know what kind of videos you have. What format they are.
http://www.xda-developers.com/andro...-more-on-your-android-device-with-rockplayer/
sorry i probally should have made myself more clear , i want to know what the best setting to encode the videos i have to make them work on the kaiser
seriously no one knows at all?
if you are using android, go for rockplayer.
If you are on windows mobile, go for tcpmp or coreplayer.
those will help you get the most you can from your device.
about settings, you have to find out yourself.
I saw a thread regarding encoding using super for blackstone. use search please,or google it.

New Native Youtube app by HTC

If you guys haven't gotten it yet...get it! Awesome app! It allows watching Youtube vids in HQ even on 3G! =D HTC got it right!
So is this a HTC only app?
I honestly don't know. It's definitely an HTC made app, but it doesn't appear under HTC Apps in the the Marketplace, it appears in the general apps section.
not finding this in marketplace, still can only find the basic youtube app and the one by lazyworm.

No prob. I just went into Apps then sideswiped to new and it was about 10 apps down, under Holy Bible. Correction, 1 app after that, between GPS4Me and Soniccasting.

didn't show up under search.
Now if it only allowed you to login to see your subscribed videos....
Much higher quality video over data and wifi and it shows the lighter color download bar as well so you know if its gonna buffer.

The decision to let hardware makers customise only by individual apps is starting to pay off. The fact that HTC are the only ones to have a native YouTube app (which imo is a stupid thing to leave out of the OS, but only cause I use YouTube a lot) is making me strongly lean towards one of their devices over samsung

The thing is, all WP7 phones can use HTC apps. The Hub is available not only for HTC phones, but also Samsung and LG.

I didn't think that was true. Each OEM has their own apps, like htc has the only flashlight app that uses the flash of the camera.

[Q] Noob video editing/shooting with One X questions

So I decided to be a good son and share some stuff with my mum. Installed Premiere Pro, imported video clips from my HOX and found that each clip has a different framerate, so Premiere Pro doesn't work with it very well.... audio is off, etc.
Tried the same thing with Sony Vegas Pro, also there were issues.
Is there any solution to this? I guess everything needs to be converted to CFR. What a headache!
Has anyone found an app for the HOX that gets around the VBR of certain roms?

This really isn't a question about the HOX...
There are two options in the hox... normal speed (30fps) and slow-motion (60fps)
This is a question about video editing, witch for one does not belong here, and you are a noob at video editing as well if the frame rate makes you troubles...
When importing a file into AE or PP you can choose what interpretation speed you want... So you set it to what you want and problem resolved.
I'm glad I asked it here, because I have no settings for framerate on my ROM. What ROM are you using? From your sig link it seems stock. Had I not asked this here, I might not have found out about other options wrt this phone and various ROMs.
Perhaps others have run across this same problem with their HOX and resolved it... perhaps with a different camera app.

Really? I'd love to know how you can import a variable framerate into Premiere Pro. Oh, wait, you cannot. Who is the noob? lol. Google it.
Why post if you just want to cut someone else down? I've added you to my ignore list, so don't trouble yourself any more with stupid old me.

Anyone know how this XBMC is setup...very cool

Hi,
So Im trying to imitate this guys setup, which apparently not only has links to external source such as high quality movie releases, its nicely presented where you highlight the movie and it shows as a directory tree with a thumbnail popping up for each movie in the lower left corner. Im assuming he has programed this with AEON skin, that much i've gathered, but i'd like to know how he gets it to change with each movie or tv show its pointing to...the video is long approx 49 minutes. Im not looking to imitate him to sell these units, i'd just like to streamline and set mine up like this...any input would be appreciated....

Legolas2 can you expand what is Lowlist, I cant find anything on it....guys...no one knows how this guy has his unit setup?...there has to be a way to have it categorized so nicely where you scroll over the label and see a nice thumbnail on it and its in sort order of the best movies ect..from that site? Im assuming its some sort of site scraper? Lets use the example at the 2:50 mark in the video skymovies premiere and catagorizes the genres and underneath it shows the title and the thumbnails change..and if you go up one level it shows Boxoffice, views, popular, added, trending, channels and then if you click on them it shows the names of the movies, with the backgrounds changing to a scene in the movie, each one different. Im sure someone knows how this is setup...if its Lowlist can anyone point me in the right direction, with maybe a how to guide? thanks...
Looks like that's using the GoMovies plugin, with a highly customized setup of Nox offering up a bunch of extra menus.

They're just making it look that good because they are trying to sell devices, your best bet for performance is to stick with the default skin to be honest.
