Is it possible to put flash videos on the SD card and stream em off that rather than youtube? If so, whats the best way? Thanks in advance!
I don't know if the Hero supports flash video... convert it with a free program like iSquint, that's for mac only though.
Hero doesnt support FLV.

My Hero came with HTC Flash. It plays some Adobe Flash content. They were touting it in press releases almost a year ago.
Flv still requires some sort of flash application to play it, you would have to write an application that would generate the html to load the player and point it to the right location. Even then, I am unsure of flash 9 lite's security settings. You are better off converting it to avi/mp4 or comparable.

So I received a couple pm about what I do to get any movie working on my vibrant.
First off I like blurays. You can use them. But dvds look just as good.
Download a free program called Format Factory.
Go to the area for mp4 coversions section. Hd mp4.
Choose video file.
Covert.
Take new mp4 and move to video folder on vibrants sd.
Done. This corrects audio as well.
Plays in hd even cleaner than the packaged avatar movie.
Let me suggest a cg film like toy story 3. Simply omg worthy.

One conversion works on any iphone as well. In case later you switch phones. Its universal. On most any phone. Period.

I'm yet to find a video that won't play on the Vibrant straight out of the box.
It's been playing my HD MKVs flawlessly. Even the HD 720p ones!
Maybe FLV ones... but then, it's just a matter of installing RockPlayer.
Same for the most part. Some audio conversion needed.

I use freemake video converter. its quick & easy, real easy,almost too easy lol...
I use Vuze to convert movies for my phone.

I haven't converted any of my videos, I've added a .mkv, and .mp4, both working great. c:
Do you really need to convert the videos?

Handbreak is another good one.
It was for Mac for the longest time. now its been ported to windows (works very well with 7). they are working on linux builds for Ubuntu and Fedora (14 only).
Just choose Normal on the side drawer and pick up a cocktail!
I've found that variable bit rate doesn't work as well as constant bit rates.
Where exactly do I go in format factory? In the video tab or ROM Device/DVD/CD/ISO? If I go to ROM Device/DVD/CD/ISO it says Please Wait Loading... for a long time

Does anyone know how to get the adobe flash player on samsung fascinate..i need some help plz.. hate no to been able to watch videos on regular webpages...
Yeah. Wait for froyo. Flash doesn't work well with 2.1. Your only option for now is to use a browser like skyfire that has a little bit of
Flash built in.
Sent from my SCH-I500 using XDA App
Skyfire actually converts flash video into html5 video using their servers.
anyways, he's correct otherwise.

And by that, he means it doesn't work at all. Of course it depends on how you define Flash. We have Flash Lite, which is good enough for some Flash-based ads and stuff, but not much more. The full Flash 10.1 plugin needed for streaming video requires Froyo, so until then, as it's been said, Skyfire is your only option. And just FYI, Skyfire's video quality leaves something to be desired.

I've actually seen a hacked version of Flash 10.1 posted online that works on some 2.1 phones, but it doesn't seem to work on the Fascinate. Just relax and wait for the update.
Gahh, Flash Lite is annoying, because it only runs the ads that no one wants to see anyway.
I found that flash 10.1 for Andy 2.1 APk. It installs okay, but I could never get it to do anything at all.

Does not support flash, but is Divx HD certified LOL. So Stupid to have the best hardware currently on Verizon with the oldest software.
How do I upload movies to my phone from my pc. I transfered movies to my phone but it only plays for 3secs then stop. What am I doing wrong?
Sent from my HTC Glacier using XDA App
You may have to convert it first. I made a folder called Movies on my SD card and use Xilsoft (software program) to convert them. Once done i just put it in the folder. Works great!

If you get Rockplayer (android market) it will play nearly any format movie (mp4, avi, 3gp etc) without the need to convert. If you wish to use the default player mp4 is your best bet.
Arc media is one I use. I'll have to try the other ones

I put up a post about this a while back, but the thread kinda died. I tried out Cyanogenmod 7 recently and as we all know...they only have nightly versions. Nothing stable. When I tried it I liked everything EXCEPT the fact that I couldn't view my old videos. I'm not just talking about old videos taken with my blur camera. I'm talking about REALLY old videos that I took over the years with older phones. Anyway, I wanted to know if there's a fix for this. Please let me know bc I REALLY like the other aspects of CM 7. Thanks!

Haha double pasted this link lol... this is a link to vlc media player alpha, with this installed on my DX I can play all old blur videos and multiple different file types that CM7 wouldn't play, not sure but I bet it'll play your old .3gp files as well. Make sure to follow the instructions on their site to determine if your processor is neon or not, my DX and SGT are both neon, but yours may be different...

Well, I just tried it out on my stock rom before trying cyanogenmod again and vlc player wouldn't play sound on my REALLY old videos. The newer stuff would play though. Ugh....I still need a better solution to this. :-/
Sent from my DROIDX using XDA App
You might have to convert your really old 3gp's to a different format... will the stock rom play them with any player?
Sent from my SGT running CM7
There are many other third party players you can try. Rockplayer and mxplayer come to mind. Worth a shot?
Sent from my DROIDX using xda premium
@hoot- yes, the stock player still plays my super old videos.
@runn- I tried mxplayer last time I had CM 7 on my phone and it didn't work. I don't remember if I tried rockplayeror not tho. Maybe it's worth a shot. If I convert my old files what should I convert them to anyway?
Sent from my DROIDX using XDA App
I would convert files to something general like maybe avi or mpg... something that any player will play... if you don't have access to a computer, I think there are apps on the market that allow you to convert files... look around a bit

I've tried VLC media player to rip some of my old movies I have, but I can't seem to find the ideal settings. I rip on the preset "Video for android sd high" but the movie still wont transfer over without my phone wanting to convert it again when I transfer. Then after it does, my 2 hour movie takes up 1.4 gb, and that seems to high. Any recommendations on a more efficient setting or maybe if I should transfer directly to the SD card and reinsert it into the phone? Thanks
Try a program called "Handbrake". I've used it rip my DVD collection and I set it to encode on a "universal" setting, ends up being in .m4v format and my phone plays it fine. I'd say that's a normal size (at least what I've experienced) for a 2 hour movie.

Why would movies downloaded onto my SD card for Flixster only be 700mb then? Are they somehow compressed?
I honestly couldn't tell you. I only have experience with that one program and don't know what flixster is.

I thought with handbrake you need to save a whole dvd to your pc with a different program and then use handbrake. I'd rather just use one program If possible

I ended up getting dvd decrypter, and handbrake. That combo works even though I didn't want to get two programs but it's fine I guess as long as it does the job. Thanks
The whole process is pretty quick takes about 30 to 40 minutes for a whole movie. I'm happy with it

Not sure if this is even an issue here... your 1.4GB file for a 2 hour movie at 1080p sounds exactly right... The 700MB file you mentioned sounds right for the same movie in 720p... are you checking these files after loading them on your phone to see what resolution they are? I've never seen one of my movies at 1080p turn out smaller than 1.+GB... even recording with the camera for that long turns out that big at 1080p...

Good point but I was having issues even ripping with vlc. Handbrake works just fine and I don't think I need any better then 720 for now. Is handbrake capable of 1080?

Is there an option to download movies to your SD card with flixster? I can only stream movies, but can't download them to my card. Is it a setting that I need to enable?

Don't do the scan folder option. Choose the add then file then choose the file directly.

Get the best BEST dvd / blu ray backup software I have ever used. It's called MAKEmkv. It's free while in beta. You can find the software key on their website that is good through jan.
Use this. You will thank me later.
Makes 100% lossless backups in mkv format. Then you can use handbrake to condense.

You guys need to try DVD Fab. I paid for a lifetime license and can rip and convert anything I ever wanted to. In about any format you can think of. From Android to apple.

Yeah DVDS are 720 at best. Blue rays are 1080. You can upscale the dvds to 1080 but it's not really worth it. You would be better with just the 720 verison.

If you convert DVD of the VOB format to any other formats, the quality will be lossy. But if you just rip DVD to VOB format which if of the same format as DVD, the original video format will be kept maximally as there is no re-encoding process. Also some software allow you to convert DVD to HD format. I think the output quality will be good.
