AT&T Tilt Playing Video / AVI's
Jul 24 2008, 3:05 PM EDT | Post edited: Jul 24 2008, 3:05 PM EDT
I have an AT&T Tilt and I would like to be able to play my large collection of AVI movies. I can play WMV files with the windows media player. I downloaded the TCPMP program and can play small AVI files (less than 20mb) but when I play a movie or TV episode, it just gives me choppy still frames and audio. It seems to not like the larger file size. Is my only option to rip them to WMV files. Please help. 4  out of 4 found this valuable. Do you?

Unfortunately when HTC was designing a business phone, as an after thought they said hey, Lets add a camera, mp3 player and video capablities to the phone. As with most great ideas, they gave it a little bit of everything above and beyond it's pda functions but not enough of anything. The phone is good for watching short videos and low frame rate games and movies, but lacks the video drivers for acceptable movie viewing .

I was wondering about this as well, I am comparing the touch to the 6800 with the querty key pad. The specs show the 6800 as having the avi capability. Specs do not specify this on the touch (6900). The 6800 seems to be the more powerful phone per the specs, even though the 6900 is newer. I am still trying to decide between the two.
Any insight would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

interesting... I just downloaded an .avi movie that I took on my camera; when I played it back it was very jumpy... not smooth at all... wondering if any third party applications would be able to solve this problem - have the AT&T Tilt2 running WInMo 6.5. also I could not get the sound to work when playing the video either...

someone recommended coreplayer for another issue I'm having; wondering if that might do the trick??? hmmmmm

ideas??? any way to change the refresh frame rate? video drivers? thks!!
