Ever since i started using windows mobile phones i have always used SPB Mobile DVD to encode the videos and then used CorePlayer to view them. But after receiving my new Blackstone I, like many, have found that this is no longer possible due to CorePlayer's lack of hardware acceleration and SPB Mobile DVD's lack of WVGA support.

Well now there's a solution! projection has made a video encoder please view the link below for details.

In order to play files that are encoded with projection's encoder, you would normally have to use WMP or HTC Album (both of which have hardware acceleration). I personally thought that i could make it easier for people to open up their favourite videos. Im not sure if i've succeeded but i like it so there!

Simply put, it can be descibed as a file explorer for the HTC Album. With it you can easily find the video you are looking for and then open it up in the HTC Album's player.

Usage.....

* To scroll the list press on the up and down arrow at the top and bottom of the list
* (Arrows can be pressed and held for continuous scrolling)
* Select an item by tapping on it
* Press Open. If its a folder then it will display the folder's contents, otherwise the file will be opened in HTC Album
* Please use the 'Back' hardware button to exit HTC Album (This is the fastest way, and upon exiting Video Launcher, HTC Album will be closed)
* Use the 'Thumbnails' button to view thumbnails of the current folder in HTC Album viewer
* Use the 'Resume' button to open up the HTC Album in the last state that you left it.

A few notes.....

Help.....

The current program icon is ugly as sin! But im not that great at artsy type things so if anyone could help me create an icon that would be much appreciated.

I've been on these forums a long time and have gained a lot of great programs and tips etc, i just thought that it's time to give back. I hope you enjoy the program, its free for you to use forever....
