Hey all, i was just trying to figure out, whats the best video player for the Evo? by best i mean supports the most codecs and gives the best experience? also, whats the best format for video on the evo?(highest quality, smoothest playback) and what are you guys using to convert said videos?(super, dvdRIP, etc)
yxPlayer
GREAT playback.
Handbrake will let you rip DVDs into your gallery to watch with the built in player (I advise this since it lets you export to HDMI by default!)
handbrake is an OSX only app is it not?

i am traveling this week for the memorial day weekend. i ripped some of my dvd movies and would like to transfer them to my xoom. are there any converters in the market and what format do you guys recommend? what app plays movies on the xoom? thanks in advance.
I use DVD FAB, I have it set to rip to AVI format, tried MP4 but that didnt work very well, would play nicely on the PC but not on the xoom, I use RockPlayer to play using Software Compression

It is not free, but DVD Catalyst is well worth it. It creates very good quality files that play perfectly on the Xoom. They have several presets for the Xoom based on how you plan on watching (Xoom or HDMI).

If you have already ripped your movies you can still use those files with DVD Catalyst, but it can also rip them for you.
I do not work for them or are in any way related, just a happy customer.
If it's a dvd rip, you might be able to get away with moboplayer's (or rockplayer's) software decoding mode. Get it (on your xoom) and try one or two of your rips before you convert everything.
ok guys. i use dvdfab to rip the movie and then purchased dvd catalyst 4 xoom to convert. i uploaded the mp4 video to the xoom and the movie does not play. i downloaded moboplayer with avi codec and it still doesnt play. what movie player do you guys recommend on the xoom??
Moboplayer should defo work. If not try that vplayer trial for 7days should last you for your trip :-D

The MP4 files created with DVD Catalyst play best using the stock video player (since it has better hardware support) however, Gallery tends to be a bit picky.
The best way is to use a file-explorer (es file explorer or root explorer for example) to browse and select the video.
edit: try directly from DVD rather than using dvdfab first. I am not sure if you changed any settings in DVD Catalyst, but try the defaults first. There is a Xoom guide (pdf format) included in the zipfile you downloaded. It makes things a lot easier
I use DVDFab to rip and convert at the same time right from my DVD disc. I use it for MP4/AAC at 20fps, subtitles turned off and choose 2 pass conversion. Comes out really nice. Terminator 2 took about 37mins on my PC and was ready to xfer to my xoom.

so the xoom isnt as easy to get and play dvd rips on as my galaxy tab,for that i just use handbrake and put it on the sdcard and plays perfect everytime was hoping when my xoom gets here it would be that easy. cause i have a bunch all ready ripped to use. their in mp4 format will those work(will handbrake work for xoom using default player)? thx
I want to store a few movies in HD for my kids. I currently rip my blurays in full quality to m2ts files, but thoses are about 25gb big.
I can convert those or re-rip to another format. What would be the ideal format that maybe would be decoded by hardware and be about 1gb each.
Thanks!

In my experience with android, using converting to mp4 (aac low complexity audio) using handbrake works the best.
Might want to look at the other current thread with encoding info using HandBrake:

How can I move Blu-ray movies to my Tab 2 10.1 and play them?
hmm I believe I tried a ripped blu ray and it didn't work, maybe due to the level and spec.
Your other option (if this is the case) is to convert the file down to something we know will play.
http://www.makemkv.com/download/ to rip
and then any other software prog to re encode, I use ripbot264
http://www.videohelp.com/tools/RipBot264
but you will need to ensure you have installed the other bits of software it needs.
I have been using makemkv and dvd catalyst 4, but i am having problems ripping the subtitles, only the hard encoded ones like in avatar.
I will give ripbot a go.
John.
I have been using Ripbot264 for years. I usually choose "SD iPad" setting
with MKV, 1280x720 resolution, CF22, 2.0 audio, normalized to 100%, and
hard subtitles(if needed). A 2-hour Blu-ray usually end up as a 1.3GB
MKV video file.
Instead of the default video player, I always use DicePlayer.(which plays
somewhat smoother 720p video than MX Player)
have you considered using DicePlayer? they've been successfully been able to play my anime, so maybe they're able to play bd? and if you rip them, i would suggest you also use formatfactory. just be wary when you install it as it tend to install random add-ons but other than that, it worthy to use.
FYI: DicePlayer also play .flv as well. i haven't fully tested it, but i can confirm that it play various format and known format to anime, if you know what i'm tlking about.
I have used the Blu-ray converter to enjoy the HD movies on my tablet and I have got it with the cheap price in the Easter deal, works very well.
MakeMKV and Handbrake.

I watched a 6 gig .mvk file on the Tab 2 today. I also used MX Player. Make sure you check the h/w+ option in the settings. Also if you encoded DTS just search for "mx player dts codec" and you will find one.

It’s an easy job as long as you rip and copy your media from your Blu-rays to your computer’s hard drive or even transfer them to your tablet or phone. An easy-to-use Blu-ray ripper is the key.
You can find some freeware like MakeMKV, but it also has some limit, like it can only help you to rip Blu-ray to MKV format, and it may not work well on Windows 8 or Mac Mavericks.
In this case, you can find a MakeMKV alternative tool like Pavtube Blu-ray ripper
i install xperia movies and i can see all bluray movies with best video and audio
I've trolled this question hard and can't seem to find a solid answer. Anyone know of a way to convert your purchased itunes movies and shows to a format the Nexus 7 can read? It's easy to turn songs into mp3 from mp4, but having trouble with video. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated!

As far s I know DRM file protection would not allow for this.

I looked even further and there are some programs that will strip the DRM for you. I do not consider this pirating in any sense because I paid the money for these items.

Try playing the file with MX Player, first. Failing that....
Strip the DRM then use Handbrake to convert video.
Handbrake is the ultimate open-source video converter. Free, of course. Even has an Android preset.
I suggest using the MP4 container, or MKV container, with H.264 encoding. This is pretty standard stuff, and run it with MX Player and MX Player ARMv7 NEON codec pack. Its all Play Store stuff.
Cheers
is is worth buying the pro version of mx player? have to use my 25 dollars on something... also regarding the neon codec pack.. do you need to configure the player to use it or does it pick it up automatically?

Itunes Movie to Nexus 7
All -
First, thank you all very much for all the amazing work you do. I have an old kindle fire and I rooted it using directions from this site. I love it now - it is just like my daughters new Nexus 7.
My issue:
Daughter bought a nexus 7 - she does not want me to root it - so fine. She wants me to get her itunes movies from Mom's mac to her nexus 7.
I've trolled for 2 days all over looking of for a way to do this. I downloaded handbrake on Mom's mac and nothing happened - system crashed actually. Also, when I plugged in Nexus 7 to Mac via USB cord the mac didn't recognize as a device. Strange.
So I will now try to do the same on my Windows laptop - download Handbrake and try to convert movie.
Question: How do you get movie from handshake to nexus 7?
I'm sure it is easy and I feel like an idiot... but after two days I give in and need the experts to help me please.
Much appreciated.
