What video format does the nexus one read and where on the sdcard do we put them? Also what format does the camera output too when finished recording video?

Don't know about the first question, but the camera outputs 720x480. Try recording a video and checking your sd card to see the format.
it natively reads H.263 (encode and decode) MPEG-4 SP (encode and decode) H.264 AVC (decode), and no doubt reads many others with apps downloaded from the market. I beleive on the SD Card put them in a folder called "Video". Not sure about what the video output format is but I do know it is compatible with Youtube Uploading.

what extensions do those equate to? avi? wmv? m4v?
avi, mp4, not sure about wmv.
Just to test, I downloaded the 720P video of "Elephant's Dream" in MP4 format. . . AMAZING quality. :-D
http://www.savevid.com/video/elephants-dream-hd-1080p.html Scroll down and download the MP4 version.
Link says 1080, but pretty sure the MP4 is only 720.
DivX???

Im using a Mac and will be using doubleTwist (Also on PC)
Because it syncs with my iTunes but you can just drop and drag videos and it will convert to the correct format you
It will even detect your device as a Nexus One
MP4 is simply an encapsulation method, many MP4s are just going to be incompatible. There are pretty fine settings needed to get it to work, but I believe you'll want to transcode movies to h.264 or h.263 for video and aac audio, in 480x800.
If you want to be sure you can view the Nexus' videos on your PC, set up a youtube account and upload them after recording. Then you can log into your YouTube account and download them as MP4 (h.264)

Thanks, i try doubletwist.
where do we put videos on the sdcard, i cant find anywhere to put it.
Hey Blueman... I just plugged in the sdcard and made a new folder called video and put some movies and music videos in there. Once inserted back into the handset they were in my gallery, was pretty easy.

what format?
I always codec my videos to mp4 or m4v... I have loads of videos I've converted for my Omnia HD which are mostly mp4 and divx.... haven't tried any divx yet but the mp4's play just fine.
In case anyone needs an awesome video converter the best one IMO is format factory, which is free and has tons of presets and is easy to use.

m4v's aren't showing up on mine, they play the audio, but the video is not there.

can i not just convert a video file to mp4 or the correct file type and play it through windows media that cam on the device?
Depends on what you are using to encode the video. The WMP may not have the decoder. Although, AVI movies all have the same *.avi, all AVI movies can be different, depending on what encoder you used to encode the video and the audio. Hence, not all player is able to play all AVI movies. I think it goes relatively the same to MP4 also.
Anyway, what format are you trying to convert. You can go Microsoft homepage and download their Windows Media encoder to encode your stuff into WMV format which should play nicely on your phone.
I have been using Xilisoft MP4 convertor, converting from .avi to .mp4
I will try out the Windows Media encoder and encode into WMV format.
Thanks for the info
converted ok but its not full screen when selected..! any ideas?
its ok sorted it out...!!!!!!!!!
I have HTC Desire HD and not play the video files.
Please help.
Hi,
What format are these video files? Encoding, resolution, etc...
Have you tried re-encoding them with Handbrake?
The default player will play .avi video files which are mp3 encoded.

hi,
Download this tool:
http://fixounet.free.fr/avidemux/
It is imo the best video converter available, and its free.
Simply select from the side 'MPEG4 ASP (Xvid)' for video, and AAC for audio. And for format select MP4. The reason why these are the best settings for the Desire HD is that these codecs are supported at the hardware level.
Ok after you're done selecting the formats, the important thing is when you click save, you must write .mp4 at the end of the filename. Without this then the file will have no extension.
You should get the app Rockplayer from the market to play your vids. Its great because it has a hardware playback mode and will play any file you converted, VERY smoothly as long as you chose the settings i described above. I was stunned when i watched a trailer from Gran Tursimo 5 that i converted.
Anyway hope this helps.
Format is 480p BRRip Xvid AC3-FLAWL3SS.avi.
Before I have the Galaxy S and watched moves with mVideo Player, so as I got my HTC installed the same player, but it could not run a movies. I started to install different app palayers and managed to let them in VPlayer beta.
Hi,
I use RockPlayer, you can play Divx, Avi, Mp4... no need change the format I have a full version from 1.5.1 Mod edit: warez url removed from my Megaupload Account

So guys,I have tried playing some hd movies on my DHD with no success.Mostly I used 720p,but also tried the native 480p.All the videos were encoded using H.264 mid-high profile with a size of about 1.8-2 gigs.These videos either don't play at all or play with severe lag,both on stock video player and rock player,making them unwatchable.
The strangest thing of all though is that said videos play super smooth on my "old" Desire ( ) and have awesome quality.The Desire doesn't seem to give a **** what I throw at it,it plays everything.What is wrong with the DHD?Does anyone have the same problem?Or does anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks in advance!
PS:Sorry for my english but it's almost 4 am here and I am really really tired!

i had the same issue, but i figured it out that DHD only plays several formats
such as:
.3gp, .3g2, .mp4, .wmv (Windows Media Video 9), .avi (MP4 ASP and MP3), .xvid (MP4 ASP and MP3)

Not the situation here!I think I even encode them with the same "specs" as the videos taken with the camera.Am I missing something here?
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App
Are you using the same SD Card that you use on the Desire? (Are they the same movie files on the same SD Card?) If not I would recommend formatting the SD Card as a first step.
http://www.sdcard.org/consumers/formatter_3
Same problem here. I tried several players like RockPlayer and VPlayer.
Videos are laggy and the sound is out of sync. Lags occur mostly on 720p MKV and MP4 files. I tried nearly every ROM and kernel out there, everytime the same results: laggy and out of sync.
Is there a fix for it?

Yeah,it's the very same card(put the DHD's 8GB card in the Desire ) with the same file.Maybe it's because I used to have an ext partition which I deleted and then expanded the FAT partition on the space left by the ext one.Cause I also have problems with files becoming corrupt.Will try that,thanks!
Hi .
SO i just got my Glaxy tab and i am trying to move a few video files from my PC to the tab .
When i try to copy them Windows 7 suggest me to convert them .
So when i am copying MP4 files without convert they look so small that i can bearly see anything . But if i try to convert them i takes about 3 hours to copy a 500MB file ?
When trying to copy WMV file without converting it doesnt work ...
Any suggestion or best practice on moving video files to the tab ?
I have movies in mp4 and m4v and they also look small in the included video player. However, in mVideoPlayer they fill the screen just fine.
I just downloaded a 700mb file via Dropbox and it took about 25 minutes.
Convert them using your own software then transfer them over, or don't convert and use a different video player that can stretch your video (Rock Player, mVideoPlayer, VPlayer).
imo this is the place the tablet is the most lacking - default video player is absolutely balls.

Use MoboPlayer. Its free and they have a codec for 3.1 tabs that plays anything. You can also view default size, full screen, vertical stretch, and 16:9. Definitely the was to go...just drag/drop, deny conversion, and play with MoboPlayer.
MKV Video Format Supported?

It did not support 1080p for me. I had the same video file in both 720p and 1080p. Mobo played the 720p perfectly, but would not open the 1080p version.
I dont think you need to convert anything. Just copy the file and play it in Mobo Player or Rock player. I think you can ignore the Windows notification and try the playback on the Tab first.
720p works fine

I just tested the 720p and it works beautifully. Also works for mkv movies I just loaded! Fantastic!!
Another option is to use a program like xmedia recode to convert the file into native resolution for the tab; and in a container which is compatible, then push it to you tab.
This is usually how I get my movies to work on my droid; haven't tried it yet, but it's on the list of things to do tonight.
for those that say they've had luck with the MKV container, can you share your encoding profile? I've not been able to get a high profile encoded video to play in an mkv container. I can demux & remux into an mp4 container and the same video works. But, I loose the ac3 audio.
Still at work.

I didnt encode the mkv movie that I have...I snagged it from my brother but when I get home tonight I'll look it up and post it back here.
Transferring movies
I usually use SwiFTP and Cyberduck to transfer movies to my IO tab. Since I'm on a mac, there's no native usb transfer capability, and it only takes about 3 minutes to transfer a 700mb avi.
Thanks.
Mine are encoded with High L4.0. I think MKVs will only work if they are L3.1 or lower.
I for one would just let windows convertthem. It takes forever but it works perfectly. Did this with RED 720p and rhe movie played flawlessly in diff media playes. Didnt do it with a 720p episode of southpark and all media players had good audio but video was lagging behind. Mobo almost had it in sync but even that was off by a bit. Gonna go convert a bunch of music videos andput those suckers onhere

What video format does google play movies use because i want to know so i know what to convert my movies to so that they work with it. I searched it on google but nothing came up. All my movies are usually mkv because its the smallest size so faster download.

First of all, mkv is not a video compression format, it's a container format which has little impact on the file size. The actual video inside an mkv file could be in any number of different formats.
That said, Google drive's documentation days it supports the following video formats:
WebM, .MPEG4, .3GPP, .MOV, .AVI, .MPEGPS, .WMV, .FLV, .ogg
Maybe try one of those.

Maybe just to add to this knowledge: when you save a Google Play Movie to your N10, it saves it as a .wvm file (yes, .wvm not .wmv). The first 10 seconds are non encrypted (so they play if you copy them to an external sd and try to play via OTG cable) but the rest is encrypted and doesn't play. I still haven't figured out software that'll convert .wvm to some other video file. Hopefully someone else has this figured out already.
