Help ! Magic vs Hero confusion - myTouch 3G, Magic General

I'm looking into buying a Magic or Hero, but after looking at the hardware specs, i gotta say i'm confused a bit.
it seems the Hero supports MPEG-4, H.263, H.264 and Windows Media® Video 9, while for the Magic thet list only MPEG-4
I'm thinking how can that be since they are both running android ? the same goes for exchange support. aren't such features suppose to be only software specific ?

personally i would go with hero :/

They did the same thing with coreavc, all sorts of things promised yonks again and never delivered.
Thanks for your post, though personally I've not rencoded anything for Coreplayer, everything plays fine.

Try playing some 800*480, the processor isn't capable of it alone. Album and WMP can use acceleration on mp4/h264, so are capable of running higher res/bitrate files.
DVD rips play way better on Coreplayer. And most people just can't be arsed to encode a file for an hour while they can just play it instantly and fluidly with coreplayer.

yawn...........
I found coreplayer to juddery for full resolution movies. I find myself re-encoding most stuff anyway since there is no AC3 support and then i play them through windows media player. Works fine for me then.
As an interim measure they could just have implemented DirectShow support.
PocketPlayer has it and consequently it has hardware acceleration.
It may not allow CorePlayer to give us support for additional codecs but at least people wouldn't get mad because they've spent good money on a program that runs far slower than the free one that came with the phone.
I'm disappointed that almost 5 months since I bought CorePlayer it's still sitting there unused. For me it's been a waste of money, and I heard that they're expecting us to pay to upgrade to version 2.
Core player 1.3
I've used CP1.3 and it playes Rips without a problem (axxo, fxg, you name it) no conversion needed. 700mb straight on SD. Word of advice from the wise Don't buy, first you try.
They don't have a trial version available... but they claim on the forum that they do offer a refund if you buy it and aren't happy.

I have to say i to have run out of patience with Coreplayer. None of the core products seem to do anything to be honest. I tried Corecodec on my netbook, but it didn't improve performance over ffdshow at all, if anything it just made the output look worse.
For the HD i just use MP4forHD, conversion takes but moments on my quad core anyway.

Pocket player is very slow when playing a .mp4 vide on my HD.
But WMP can play it fine. So either pocket player don't use the hardware acceleration or there is a settgin somewhere to enable it (so if you know about it please..pleas...).
I'm looking ofr a software that can remember where I am in a video (coreplayer can do it, I think pocket player can also do it). And that can use the hardware acceleration like in WMP.
Is there a plugin for WMP that could help me ?

coreplayer is not freeware......please don't promote warez here.
thank you
Wow... nice flame, how about inviting me?
As far as stoolzo he was warned and then banned for not following the forum rules, no diff then he would here if he posted here out of line.
As far as the other posts/flames...
arfster... pls be specific to CoreAVC.... we have delivered everything we stated for 1.x including NVIDIA CUDA support. What we you looking for, higher res video not created for mobile devices? Come on.
arghness... correct we have no trial but we also have a no questions asked refund policy for CorePlayer. If it does not work for you, then you deserve your money back, simple.
Bugblatter... directshow is coming and as of now I am unaware of any other media player that supports as many hardware GPU schemes that CorePlayer does; Xscale, QtV (overlay), RMI, PS2, ATI Imageon and Coming later this year is both CUDA and OpenCL.
Bugblatter... also please tell me when PP added hardware accelleration support. For what GPU's?

Will the Blackstone make use of this? The QTv support isn't useful at all, at least it doesn't improve the playback .
You have announced (here) that you plan to support QTv, how is it going on this matter?
stoolzo said:
After reading various reviews and the bumpf on their website about qtv and codec support i decided to purchase copeplayer for my touch hd. I soon found that where it was definately better than tcmp it wasnt £20 better. The main reason for the purchase though was the promise to have full QTV support which was promised by one of the developers "betaBoy" in various forumn threads. When it because clear that these promises where becoming empty I created a few threads to discuss this and question where the delays wre coming from. For this had all my threads deleted and after question "betaboy" through the private message forum I was banned for suggesting that it would be better to rencode existing media and use the HTC album player as it had full acceleration. Coreplayer are clearly hiding the fact that coreplayr will never have full support for the TOuch HD chipset and DO NOT PURCHASE THIS..!!!. Re-encoding is a pain but the results are nothing less than miraculous.

Thank you for the useful news. But does TCPMP really work on Touch HD ? When I tried it I got an error and a log file to submit to developers... but it seems the project was discontinued. Maybe do exist more versions ? Some advice, please
forum ban
yawn............
its amazing what you can find on google
yawn..................
I've said this before and I will say it again in case you may have missed it.
We are ALL limited for supporting Qtv and by 'WE' I mean _ANY_ developer. Qualcomm has never released an SDK with any details of Snapdragon/Qtv's API's and what we have done in CorePlayer is reverse engineer what we could to support 'overlay only'. No other media player has attempted to do this and we did this are the specific request of our Community, including here at XDA.
Now as far as fully supporting Qtv/Snapdragon... we are working on directshow support atm for Windows and Windows CE/Mobile and it looks on the surface that we 'may' be able to full support the embedded CE/WM directshow filters that are on the supported devices.
The question is if we will need to finish the CE/WM port of the Haali Media Splitter. We are still a few weeks away before we get to the point but I'll fill everyone in as we continue to work on it.

These are the reasons why sony ericsson d'nt upgrade to Android 2.1

Android 2.1 vs. Sony Ericsson Android 1.6
When the X10 is released, it will be released with Android 1.6. We will take advantage of the additional
possibilities of Android 2.1 during the life of X10 via upgrades.
One objection you are going to encounter when presenting the X10 is: „Why does your X10 only have
Android 1.6 installed on it? The latest version is 2.1! It looks outdated!”
We all need to be prepared and knowledgeable about the differences in order to deal with the dealer's
concerns and provide them with understandable answers for their customers.
In order to do this, we first need to understand the differences between standard Android 1.6 and Android
2.1. They are:
• Integration of digital Zoom and support for LED Flash
• Support for Microsoft Exchange Active Sync (Contacts and e-mail)
• Bluetooth 2.1 support for OPP (Object Push) and PBAP (Used to transfer contact
information to a hands free)
• Live Wallpapers (Animated HTML based wallpapers)
• Multi touch support
• HTML 5 support
• Richer contact information and possibilities to integrate social network data.
However, the version of Android 1.6 installed on the Sony Ericsson X10 is not a standard. Sony Ericsson
has developed and enhanced it in many areas. So let’s have a look at the real difference
X10 1.6 Specs:
1.Cyber Shot camera with digital zoom and flash, face and smile detection easy to use cyber shot interface
2.Moxier client pre-installed
3.OPP is integrated into x10 out of the box and PBAP will be part of update
4.Live wallpapers will be part of an update
5.HTML 5 will be part of update, currently no consumer relevant website is using HTML 5
6.Sony Ericsson TIMESCAPE
I got this data I liked to share with all of u we X10 users are some how equal to Android 2.1 we should demand for 2.2 Update not for 2.1....
Now you're talking. I have been campaigning from the beginning to get people to ask for the 2.2 and not the 2.1. Ever since that petition was being passed about. Everyone thought I was crazy to push for it. I gave up trying.
However, I would say that the 1.6 will look outdated because the 2.2 is out and not the 2.1!
Also, the Timescape has it's issues. To the point that I have it removed from home screen and do not use it. And, there has been plenty of mention in regards to Timescape being related to the battery issue.
And, where is the flash for the camera? I have a light that I can manually turn on and off, but no flash. I am pretty sure this is coming with the 2.1
And, where did you hear there are no consumer relevant websites run HTML5?
I also thought there was a WIFI enhancement on the 2.1
The only problem now is that we have beat SE over the head for the 2.1. So I don't know what are chances of getting the 2.2 on this device, but I do not think they are good.
well like se added 2.1 features to 1.6,
lets expect that they add 2.2 features like flash into android 2.1....
will be a better option..
Here is a quote about the first web site I checked, Daily Motion.
"Another video titan that is fighting back against plugin prisons is DailyMotion. The popular streaming video website has launched an open video pilot program, providing a new beta version of its site that uses the HTML 5 video element to play content. As part of the pilot program, DailyMotion reencoded 300,000 videos with the open source Ogg Theora codec. Unlike many common video formats, Ogg Theora is not encumbered by known patents. It can be used and reimplemented freely without having to pay licensing costs."

I'm all for open source, and would love if every site with flash content changed it to HTML5, but Ogg Theora is no better than Flash...It's unreliable and uses a significant amount of resources.

There are few things worth remembering:
1. No consumer has launched any HTML5 versions as anything other than betas or previews.
2. HTML5 is not a ratified standard, it's a draft. Which leads me on to the next point.
3. The video tag is just that, a tag. It doesn't dictate which codec or container you should use. Currently there are 2 1/2 players: h.264, webm and ogg/vorbis.
H264 is backed up by Apple, so I expect it to have atleast some traction. WebM is backed by Google, meaning YouTube supports it. I'm not familiar with any big names backing OGG but I'm sure there are others beside FSF.
H264 is a great format but sadly it's encumbered by patents as well as a royalty fee which might pose a problem in the future whereas WebM is a royalty-free project. So personally I'm leaning towards WebM coming out as the big "winner" in this battle.
Ranting aside, putting all ones hope into HTML5 as it stands right now is a little risky as it's subject to change and hasn't been locked down yet. Every major player in the web browser business supports the tag currently, including Android as of version 2.0 or 2.1 (can't be bothered to wikipedia it). So the support for it is universal and once a standard has been ratified we can expect it to be adopted by all major video sites. Until then flash is king and luckily the biggest video-site, YouTube, has both iOS and Android apps for it so we can atleast watch LOLcats and FailBlog.

ABC and CBS have both confirmed that they will be dumping Adobe and going with HTML 5. Only bad news might be that they might charge like itunes to view content.
The door is starting to swing wide open.
Not only will X10 get the 2.1 upgrade, it will also get the 2.2 Upgrade. I have a close friend who works at SE (Senior Figure) and that information is supplied by him. No dates are forthcoming at the moment. So please don't bombard this Post asking for dates.
Found some information to confirm this posted back in Mar 10:

Hope this helps you all..

You misunderstood me; HTML5 = Good, Ogg = Bad. Check out this link as to why Flash is not going away for at least another few years...

Flash 10.1 will NOT work on Galaxy 3

Hello everyone. First off, be clear of one thing: FLASH will not work on our phones even when Froyo is out. Flash was an improvement in Froyo, but it is not going to be in all phones just because they have Froyo..
I see a lot of people complaining that the Froyo releases of the Galaxy 3 do not have Flash 10.1. I opened this topic to inform everyone who doesn't know that Flash is currently only supported on ARMv7 processors, namely the ARM Cortex A8 processors.
The Galaxy 3 has an ARMv6 processor, which is not currently supported by Flash. Adobe has mentioned that Flash might be supported on lower end processors in the near future, but right now it can only run on phones having an ARM Cortex A8 processor.
So right now, Flash is a no-go on our phone, even when the final Froyo update is released.
You can check the requirements for Flash on the following link:
http://www.adobe.com/products/flashplayer/systemreqs/#mobile
Also, check out this link which mentions that ARM might be supported on ARM11 (ARMv6) devices in the future:
http://androidandme.com/2010/08/news/flash-player-10-1-could-appear-on-some-arm11-devices/
For those who wonder why the HTC phones have Flash, just found out that the Flash Player on HTC has been developed by HTC themselves. It is not the actual Adobe Flash Player 10.1..
So we can only hope that until final FROYO relese Adobe will mode Flash to work on our hardware

Not likely. Adobe has said they might make it work on these processors, but it surely isn't at the top of their agenda right now.
But on the other side, if We ask at loud and if we do it in weaves, they will change their mind and support our hardware

Where did you get this information from?
This is crucial, especially to the people in countries, where this phone has been released for sale recently, such as India. The biggest selling point of this phone, has been the technical ability to upgrade from Eclair to Froyo, as such, the importance of Flash cannot be underestimated. Whilst there are many owners who are not too bothered about this, the vast majority have assumed that purchase of the Apollo, would mean, for their internet phone usage, a very much improved experience, mirroring , albeit on a small scale, a view familiar to the desktop computer.
I hope you may be wrong. Samsung should clarify this, before many others spend too much money.
workaround
Where do you want to use flash ?
a) WEB:
Because you can use SKYFIRE which converts at their servers flash to html5 and you can watch converted flash video at your mobile
b) SD card applications:
I had on my XPERIA X1 (which has slower CPU) flash player and many many flash games. It was working without any lags.
c) what if you install flash player 10 like 3th party application ?
d) do you want to launch complicated Flash www pages at your mobile ? With this stupid resolution ? I think that:
- it has no sense (I hate to read anythink on this display)
- sooner or later the pages will be converted to html5 and we will be able to have them.
So please for what reason do you need flash ?

Live score updates would be one feature I use on a regular basis. Many sites require Flash to be viewed properly, and Skyfire is somewhat limited in being able to do so.
The resolution of the phone is a factor, but with many video presentations and live transmissions in the 320/240 mode, the Apollo is more than capable of being able to used for displaying web video. LaolaTV, TVU networks, and Justin TV are examples of this.
An otherwise very capable phone, I would just like to squeeze a bit more of it's potential.
The main requirement of flash is a VFPU(vector floating point unit).it is a physical device that should be present in the chip for flash to work.the older arm processors(arm1136) does not support it(thats why adobe said they wont support older processors). Our processor(arm1176) supports it but it is optional.so it all depends on whether samsung implemnted vfpu in this chip. Considering what they did with 3d graphics my hopes are pretty low.
Flash isnt essential but it would have been nice to have it.i didnt know about these things before i bought the phone.but considering the fact that no device. Anywhere near this price range supports it,i am happy with the phone.

I agree, also SPB TV works or Orange streaming TV (for orange customers), without any problem. I think that it's pricing policy - producers don't want to squeeze the maximum from the cheap phones.

As Adobe releases Flash for free, it doesn't really matter to them if it's used in cheap or costly phones. The ARMv6 processor is not necessarily used only in cheap phones. Rendering Flash content is a processor intensive job, so it is not an easy job to port it to lower end processors.

HTC has been giving Flash support for their Eclair phones, but it doesn't work that great. If you check the Wildfire review on GSMArena, Flash has trouble playing videos on all sites, and only simple games run nicely.
Flash can run on ARMv6 processors, but it hasn't been developed properly for it yet. And no one except HTC gives support for Flash in their Eclair running phones, so it's not only Samsung's fault. Plus, even Samsung gave Flash on the high-end Galaxy S AFTER it was upgraded to Froyo.
Let's see, it's bound to come out for ARMv6 processors sometime, as budget Android phones are only gonna increase in popularity.

CoreCodec:
@GunmanTheH the plan is to get it out asap, preferably by mid-month to retail.
Excellent. CorePlayer was my go to player on Windows Mobile. Hopefully this'll be available when I get my Xoom next month.
I dunno if moto would even be able to include this in the zoom, because it's a Google experience device. I will post on their forums tho along with you all.
Maybe Google needs to be made aware of this.
It would be awesome for MKV vids, but will it help out with other formats, as well?
I think getting the retail version will be the faster and more expedient route for most, as waiting for the firmware route, even if Moto is responsive, will take weeks or months.
However, it's important to let Moto know that you, as their customers, consider this feature as important and want it incorporated into the firmware. This allows derivative custom ROMs to also include the software on a quasi-legal basis, as the OEM license could be argued as being applicable for the device regardless of the firmware used.
@arrtoodeetoo
Supported formats in the link below are for CorePlayer,
http://corecodec.com/products/coreplayer
Note that the two popular audio codecs used mostly in "downloadable" HD videos (DTS and AC3) are not among the list. Betaboy (CC dev) has explicitly confirmed that AC3 won't be supported.
That means that those who have said videos will need to convert their audio tracks. This is fairly simple and fast (and can be batch processed), taking only minutes per full-length video.
Looking forward to this going live and hearing how it plays out.
Here are the platform-specific errata notes for CorePlayer.
http://forums.corecodec.com/threads/402-**-CorePlayer-Platform-Specific-Limitations-and-Notes
Ignore the list (it's 4 years old). The thing to note is the CC dev's remark below:
"Limitations are gonna be hard to pinpoint atm as there really is none other then bluetooth limitations. Codecs will become less of an issue as we will have in app purchasing for additional codecs."
Damn... I haven't used Core since my last winmo phone... I hope they don't charge to much for codecs. 1 or 2 bucks a pop each.
Wow I still have my COreplayer install file from my 5 year old phone! I would Love to see this on Honeycomb
PLz Moto Make it so!
I just posted on the thread at the Motorola Owner's forum. I am not holding out a tremendous amount of hope for OEM licensing, but CorePlayer should do the trick.
Regardless of whether Moto will or won't license Core, they need to know that the Xoom's multimedia support is awful. They won't know unless we tell them. From the Moto admin's responses, they're clueless.

Re: Core - To clarify, the retail version mentioned as being released soonish is likely the CorePlayer 2.0 for Android & iOS. CoreAVC 2.5 is available to devs & OEMs, and will be available to Win/Lin/Mac (not Droid/iOS) end-users later.
CorePlayer notwithstanding, I still can't imagine that Nvidia would be content with having the entire wave of Tegra2 tabs being stuck with no accelerated multimedia support.

Nexus S Multi-Codec Video Playback Support just like Galaxy S

DOWNLOAD: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1052318/
The custom rom supports H.264, MPEG4(DivX, XviD), MPEG2, WMV9, etc. with any containers, and going to be released soon. It is easy to think the playback support is just like Galaxy S.
The rom is made by Real_G, and I'm going to ask the developer to post the rom on here.
OF COURSE, THIS IS H/W DECODING.
**UPDATE #1 **
New introduction videos available, and the custom rom will be released soon
Oh, looking forward to this, finally! One of the few features I was missing...

hmmm... no, the rock player is software based
according to the ROM it supposed to be hardware based, like on the SGS

Just in time. I've been thinking of swapping mine for a Galaxy because MP4 playback sucks.

Yeah but I prefer hardware decoding as do some of the other people in this thread.

Where I find this program?
Moboplayer (or anything else) doesn't have audio for most 720p H.264 videos when using hardware encoding.
With software audio works, but video playback is choppy.
I have been anxiously awaiting this, coming from SGS where u could play just about anything without lag. I hope this is made available to those of us who don't use custom roms cause I like to stick to the regular Google releases.
Props to real_g and anyone else who is working on this; greatly appreciated.

I updated original post with new introduction videos

I noticed in the video it's running CM7, or some variant of CM7? Hopefully it's just a minor update to the ROM.
so when can we download the ROMs?
Whats ETA on this? Looking forward to it.
