I have Win7 HTPC with lots of TV recordings in WTV format. How can I watch them on Epic over 3g/wifi network?
I know there are options such as
1. orb player
2. slingplayer
They are not optimal and I would like to know any other options. Any ideas?
I just learned about allshare. Will allshare stream WTV in HTPC to the phone over wifi?
I think it should but I don't have Epic to prove it.

Just got my Epic today.
Bad news: Epic can't play WTV files using allshare. It can play avi files.
Good news: Allshare can stream videos from phone to DMA2200. I videoed my kid and played it to the big screen TV wirelessly.
WTV is only playable on Media Center PC with Windows Media Center installed.

i have to admit converting wtv to a more popular video format like mp4, avi, wmv is a method to play wtv on most media player or portable devices just as the above one mentioned. and this method does work for me
but i am a wtv fan, is there some way to directly play wtv on my new ipad mini?

really does this play wtv on android? it's too bad MSFT doesn't make a windows media portable for android.
I in order to play wtv on any meida player or portable device, a recommended solution is convert wtv to a more popular video format like convert wtv to avi, wmv, mp4, mov, vob, flv, asf, mpg and etc

hi, i have recorded 3 movie clips with my tytn, i have wm6 installed. i sent this movies to my macbook. now i tried to watch them. no chance, only vlc can play them but without sound. what the hell, why does this codec suck so much? i have tried it in media player, and quicktime in osx. they cant play it. it should be said that quicktime can play mpeg4 files, but what is mp4?
anyone knows what codec i have to install to convert it to another format?
and why ms cant play videos from their own mobile apps?
regards, chief
I have no problems playing mp4 on my PC. I have K-lte codec pack installed but I think ffdshow is the codec being used to play it.
Mp4 should be just seen as a container for the video and audio, like .avi or .mkv. I actually use mp4 to encode my files for my PocketPC and get great quality, the upside is that these files also play on other mobile devices; my girlfriend can play them on her Samsung U600.
You running a MS OS on your Mac?
yes, i have tried it in windows xp, but i have no codec packs installed. i think the problem is, that this is not a normal mp4, the video track is ok, but the audio track is identified as "samr".
wtf is samr?
gg
omg
think the only thing i need is this samr codec for mac. in the apple docs i found the information that quicktime comes with amr support, but i think samr is not amr, so i need this codec, anyone ere who can ell me rom where i can download this?

Change the extension from .mp4 to .3gp and QuickTime will play it perfectly.

I would like to know if it is possible to stream an avi video file from EVO to HDTV.
I have an HDMI chord, and it works fine when I play .3gp videos and stream it from EVO to HDTV. I downloaded an application called "Rock Player" which plays avi files on EVO but when I try to stream it from EVO to HDTV, it doesn't play at all.
I could always convert the AVI files to 3gp but it will lose quality. And I don't want that.
Perhaps someone else can correct me, but I believe HDMI out only works with video recorded on the phone. I thought I read this somewhere, but I could be completely making it up. I do know that some devs have been working on full HDMI out support, including for the UI (like and homescreen and such).

I have an HDMI cable so I can try it out but, as far as I know, only videos that play through the stock player will play through HDMI. Here's a guide to convert using Handbrake, makes decent videos.

I love how video looks on the kindle fire!
Most of my ripped movies in my "Movies" network share play, but VOBs don't (DVD MPEG). MX Video player and ArcMedia player claim to play VOBs, but they don't. ArcMedia can access the share but won't play the VOBs. Neither ArcMedia or MX will associate with the VOB extension, so Android doesn't know what player to launch if I access a VOB via network share in a file browser.
Anybody tried playing a ripped DVD with an android device? If you had success, what player did you use?
Has nobody tried or wanted to play ripped DVDs?
Your best bet after ripping them is converting the format if the video is unsupported by android if possible and the only ripping I do with DVD videos is with iTunes and movies

Oh and I'd try to convert to a more common format ex: mp4

VOB files are not really uncommon. That's the format of every DVD.
I use Daroon Player to play VOBs that are locally loaded on my Fire. I don't remember if I sideloaded it or not.
What is the best (if any) movie player for Bada 2.0? It would be ideal if it could support avi, mkv, and subtitles.

How about subtitles?
I checked the built-in player and it does play movies, and even have subtitles option. BUT the movie progress bar is grayed out (can't ffwd or rewind) and subtitles are not visible, even though the player seems to detect them...
Any alternative players?
