Best converter for Touch HD with subtitles - WMP/Album

After more than 10 converters, I finally found one perfect.
Only thing what it doesnt have is 2pass option, but thats not a big problem.
total video converter 3.14
first : It is not freeware (who cares ? ) .
inputs :
[Support Files]
All=All Support files|*.m3u; *.cda; *.avi; *.dat; *.3gp; *.f4v;*.qt; *.mov; *.mpg; *.mpeg; *.m1v; *.wmv; *.asf; *.ogm; *.mkv; *.dsm; *.vob; *.mp4; *.ra; *.rm; *.ram; *.amr; *.3gp; *.3gp2; *.3g2; *.3gpp; *.swf; *.flv; *.fli; *.flc; *.rmvb; *.gif; *.mp3; *.wma; *.ac3; *.wav; *.aac; *.aiff; *.au; *.mp2; *.m4v; *.m4a; *.mmf; *.awb; *.flac; *.dv; *.ape; *.mpc; *.cin; *.ts|

Looks like enoght. I only need .avi I tried .mkv but it has problems with sound. Dont know if it is problem of program or of my computer.
- You can set a lot of containers and codecs
-you can set your bitrate and other things, resolution, pad etc.
-you can burn in subtitles, it supports many formats like .srt and .sub and few more like .ass lol

about 3rd picture : dont press activate high quality settings. If I did, my encoding crashed when started.
about 4th picture : I put 800*440 because of aspect ratio and I want to play it in Album. If you want to play in WMP, you got 2 ways :
1.) stretch it to 800x480
2.) set 800x480 but also set pad 20 bottom and 20 top, so your aspect ratio will be same as input.
I prefer this program because of .srt subtitles support. If you dont need subtitles, then you can choose from many converters. I would suggest handbrake which is free and also has 2pass option.

I get superior results to MP4, if I:
Select Pocket Player -> iPhone -> iPhone AVC H264
Select "iPhone H264 high quality" from the drop-down menu
Push "Settings" link and set:
Audio to double channel 128 kbits/sec​Video to 1024 kbits/sec​
And happy converting
Very smooth playback (in WMP), virtually no compression artifacting (blocky ****, which is what you get going through just MP4, apperantly MP4 is not the same as iPhone MP4). Currently trying to find the limit of kbits/sec on the video, 1500 is just a little too much, get choppy playback, 1024 is just too little, get very minor blockiness.
Hope this helps and love to have some feedback.

nice
Thank you
Nice tool !!

I really got to say million thanks to you!!!!!! And I finally found a perfect video converter for everything!!!! It is truly H264 converter, and the quality is absolutely good!!

Google I/O - Writing Real-time games for android.

Have a look at this video if you have time - about a hour.
It tells you why the X10's screen refresh rate is only 30 frames per second, and shows that SE's opengl driver seems to be well written too.

yep, it was quite obvious, it's also a great video for anyone willing to write games for Android (or any handled device using OpenGL)
On the other hand i don't think the driver is that good, i've already found some really annoying issues on the OpenGL extensions I used : out of the two extensions I tried including the widely used draw_texture OpenGL extension, both aren't using the correct screen resolution and are either scaled or cropped to fit a 800x480 screen resolution.
You can easily reproduce this by trying to draw a 2D texture on screen using glDrawTexfOES() you'll see that the texture looks scaled and the coordinates are wrong because it's trying to fit a 800x480 screen but the X10 is using a 854x480 resolution... so it just chops off the 54 remaining pixels and scale it to fit the screen, and that sucks badly since you can't trust the reported screen resolution and you have to hack a path for the X10 in case you want to use that extension.
The same thing happens if you try to use the GL_OES_framebuffer_object extension, when you bind a buffer you'll only only get 800x480 pixels out of it... and the worse part is that it's not even scaled to fit the screen, so it actually crops the 54 remaining pixels and don't render anything there, so this one is definitely unusable unless you want a big black bar on the right of your screen
Of course, those extensions are surely not -needed- to make an OpenGL game, (the first one is just a fast way to draw a 2D texture on screen, and the second one is an advanced feature that's not supported by default on OGL 1.0 and 1.1 (hence why it's an extension heh))
But it's still a shame to have such issues on such a high end device, it's like the driver wasn't meant for this screen resolution and they just hacked it into the X10, Hopefully this will get fixed when we get Android 2.1 and OpenGL 2.0

Interesting to see the Droid does better than the Snapdragon phones by quite a bit.

Make videos larger on the Xoom

AR Resize
Download: http://www.sendspace.com/file/qt61s0
Description: Adjust video aspect to better fit widescreen videos onto mobile devices' screens. Very fast, no video recoding. Windows-based. MP4 only.
Use: Unzip to a folder. Drag-drop videos onto AR_RESIZE.CMD to change their aspects. To restore to original aspect, drag-drop on AR_RESTORE.CMD.
Notes:
. Degree of aspect change is adjustable. To change, edit AR_RESIZE.CMD and search for set "_fudge=7". Possible values are from 0 to 10, where 0 = no video aspect change, and 10 = change to fully fit device screen. Samples below.
. Since this changes a value in the MP4 container, not all players are compliant. Anamorphic videos may be less compatible. Feedback on Xoom player (and 3rd-party Droid players) are welcomed.

DVD Catalyst just added this functionality too for Xoom rip although I am no fan of stretching my videos around.
Cool editing the MP4 info though.

The above is non-permanent and reversible, which is vastly preferable to having to re-encoding the video. As of this point, it doesn't do side-cropping, since I know of no way to do soft-cropping via MP4 container specs.
I'll implement soft-crop once there is a decent media player for Android that can handle the MKV format. MKVMerge has a cropping function, but sadly, most players won't recognize it. Since the MKV container is sponsored by the Core peeps, I'll be certain to get them to implement it for CorePlayer (if it's not already), and I'll be on the VLC forums as well.

I've always hated watching TV's where people distort the sd to widescreen. if the ratio isn't set properly it drives me crazy.

I agree, distorting AR isn't a good option, but it's between the bad and the worse. There are a few gazillion tablets out there with 4:3 aspect.
Which of the below looks the worst to you?

I hadn't realized that Leonidas was made out of the same material that Gumby is...Thanks for this.

Better image resizing examples. First image is of 300 trailer (2.41 AR) on the iPad, second is of same on the Xoom.

For those looking for a video converter that works

greetings! im still new to these forums (and to the atrix, only had it for a week), but i figured i'd share something that some people might find interesting.
http://www.dvdvideosoft.com/products/dvd/Free-Video-to-Motorola-Phones-Converter.htm
DVDVideoSoft have been around for a while making a bunch of free video converters for many applications. however, previously it was a bit messy and finicky to make a suitable profile for a particular device since you had to edit the xml file and try to figure out a decent setting for certain vids.
i noticed that a while back they disabled the ability to edit the xml files to create your own video converting profiles, so i stopped using them.
but randomly i figured id give them a go again today. found out that they added a preset editor so we can create our own profiles to suit our motorola atrix.

ive circled the button that allows you to tap into the preset editor.
these are the settings im using to convert for my atrix. 960x540 resolution.
i recommend setting the framerate to 30fps. if your source video is running at less than 30fps, the program will stick to the same framerate as the source video. however, if you set the framerate lower than the source video's framerate, you'll lose frames.
as for bitrate, i havent had much time to mess around with it. 2.5mbps looks pretty, but you should able to go as low as 1.5mbps with minimal sacrifice on image quality, and it will make the file size a lot lower.
with audio bitrate, this is a personal preference. i dont like going below 192kbps, but some people wont notice the difference.
after that, just rename the profile to whatever you'd like, and happy converting.
the program isnt the fastest available, but its simple and works well enough. the videos play well on my atrix using the default video player and look pretty awesome.
enjoy!

Thank ye very much.
Testing now.
It's main test: Softsubs.
Gotta get my anime fix on the go.

Report: Does not work on .ass type softsubs.

Videos on G3

Not always work divx what is the best format and resolution and compressed to watch the video without lags(800mhz) and best quality ?+
you can say what bitrate and all video option what i can set in coverter is the best to have nice resolution and compressed and qualtiy?

ehm and what is right 240 x 400 or 400 x 240 i will watch it fullscreen(from phone)
This settings ^ no working why? divx is no divx? its not all the same? say me what option the best

I used badaboom (nvidia tool to convert files with gpu -> real fast ), just took the mp4 format.
Resolution fitting the phones one, rest like lowest settings. If I have my big pc back I can make a testfile for you.

Ehm i would have the exact resolution of the phone that its not use so much mb so i can make 700mb movie to 200mb with 240 x 400 and no qaulity lose

For the record, our phone is able to play videos that consist of 720x480 pixels. I personally used easy video converter (probably costs but if you know to avoid that shouldn't be a prob), it had loads of presets and options to choose from, such as "Samsung galaxy S" which would convert your video with the correct settings for SSG.
Also you could use the free converter from Samsungs own crapware collection, I found it pretty good also.
If I remember right (It's been a while I've watched a movie on my SG3) the best codec that had the smallest file size and best quality was h.264, so try using that. I did some experimenting too and found that no videos lag, no matter how high you push the bitrate of sound or video, it always worked flawlessly.

video converter
