Hello Omniaaaaaa users.

I just have some questions..

how do you make the video take up the whole screen? i put some files on the device.. but there is a black border still all the way around..

i saw reviews of the video taking up the whole screen how is it possible?

Also.. what are you guys using to convert the videos? software wise?

for avi, you dont have to convert it, you can just play it, and it will play off by the touch player, at touch player, just click the playing screen, then it will take you to the fullscreen

Yep, they will play on Touch player out of the box. The only thing you need to do is go into the settings and open the DivX registration. (you don't need to do anything with the registration number, but it just seems unlock the video elements of touch player)

Re: the black border - you might have a avi file that has been letterboxed incorrectly. When I create files from my eyeTV to move across to the samsung, I can select whether I want to letterbox (keep the aspect ratio correct and have black bottoms or sides) or crop (where you loose the ends of the frames). If you are getting black on all 4 sides - then someone has probably saved it in a bad format.

I have the same problem. Touch player doesn't work with any of my files and i have tryed at least 10 movies. Some recoded to mp4, divx. I used fddshow and a lot of other stuff to make it play and it didn't work. But the odd thing is that they worked on windows media player (the one on the phone not my computer) but touch doesn't even put it in it's library folder or it puts them under mp3's -

Then i installed core player and the movies worked but there was a lot of lag in both core and windows players. I then remembered a software that i used on my old SE phone called smartmovie. I installed the demo and it worked without any problems in both portrait and landscape mode in fulscreen. I didn't change the movies. I just copyed them from my computer to the phone.

So i have to say that i like smartmovie because it doesn't have a lot of settings and because it works like i want it to.

But if someone finds out what's up with touch please post because it would be nice to have both players to compare. Now i use touch only for my mp3's.

I've just tried to play an .avi file and it won't play. States 'Unsupported Video Format', however it does play the audio?

Bit annoyed at this, you read reviews and it states that the phone plays DivX, blah,blah blah, and then when you get it doesn't work.

Why should we have to mess about with convertor sand 3rd party programs to watch a movie, when were told it plays them out of the box

Not impressed, however in saying that if anyone has a fix,( besides coverting and 3rd party apps), any adivce would be most welcome.

I use Super (http://www.erightsoft.com/SUPER.html) and convert with the settings shown.
I use CorePlayer but these work in Media Player and should be fine in Touchplayer too (don't have it to check on my current ROM). Super is great as it will convert basically anything you throw in, just tell it what you want out!

I have attached my Super settings file so you can just import that to Super (remove the .zip extension) rather than putting all the settings in yourself.
