I've uploaded some test videos if you all needed help in isolating if it's the video file, cable, or TV that's the problem:
The Gran Turismo Trailer at 720p (plays at 1280x720):
GT5rpHISTORICALv12_720-1.m4v
The Avatar Trailer at 480p (800x400 resolution, but plays at 800x600 resolution on my Vizio):
Avatar_trailer2_480p-1.m4v
I've confirmed that these files playback in the Gallery player on my Vizio TV (they will work on your Evo) so if these don't work, you can at least determine that it may be a TV or cable issue.

I am having a hard time when encoding it with H.264....cant seem to play the video
but when i uncheck H.264.. (encoding without H.264) it doesnt have a problem playing the video file.
Understand that i am very new at this so i'm trying out anything and everything that works.

Try following the Handbrake steps I outlined above. Your problem may be that you're not encoding with the correct H.264 profile. The Evo will only play back Baseline profile, so it might be that you have the settings set to High or Normal. Also try playing back the files I've linked to. If they playback, then it's probably the baseline issue I mentioned.

It says in my TV "Mode not supported"
You're to tell me I won't be able to use this at all?

Try the files I've linked to and see if they work. It sounds like an HDMI sync/handshake issue. Given my limited experience with the Samsungs, my guess is that the 720p video will hopefully work, but the 480p one won't. Let us know what happens.
