Video playing issues

can someone tell me what video formats the touch HD is supposed to play out-of-the-box?

mine wont play mpeg or xvid files i have copied accross from my computer, and i'm sure i've hear reports of others playing them natively and not needing converting? (i have tested the files on my pc and they run fine)

regards

edit: i have managed to get it to play videos recorded on my kaiser, to good effect (though not compatible with autorotate)

Mp4 videos seem to play in the 'album' app. Windows media player seems less capable than i remember from previous devices, but i might be wrong. That should play mpeg2 and i've found it'll play the DRM BBC iplayer files, although has to download a licence for it to work.

I'm currently using divx mobile player, which seems ok. I'd like to try core player, but i've heard it doesnt make use of the hardware acceleration so may not give any speed boost over divx.

divx mobile player works fine, thanks. doesn't seem to work with 2gyrator2 as is 90deg out all the time, but I can psort that without issues.

seems a shame though that since this is supposed to be a multimedia device, it should just play media. i shouldn't have to download 3rd party players and codecs...

found a modded version of TCPMP here which, i think, works better than divx mobile (esp with screen rotate)

:rolleyes:

Nice one, been looking for TCPMP for a while without luck. Will give it a try. Still not happy with video, even in divx player.

The link you posted doesnt seem to be working, page comes up but the download doesnt work. Is it hosted anywhere else or can you email it over?

Gonna give up on this i think!! The one you posted Dr nick installs ok, but crashes when i run it. The one on rapidshare doesnt even instal, when you click the cab on the device nothing happens at all.... ahh well!
