OK, I am retiring my iPod Touch for ripping movies to take with me on trips, to watch either on the phone or with the HDMI output. That said, what resolution should I rip DVD's to so that they look good on the phone and on an HDTV using HDMI output? I read that 1280x720 is 720P, but my test showed that the movie played fine on the phone, but looked like a 4:3 movie when I played it on my HDTV. Any comments/suggestions/experience is greatly appreciated (I *really* want to be rid of my Touch...LOL).

How are you going to rip a DVD to 1280x720p when DVD's native res is 720x480 ntsc and 720x576 pal?
I'd say to rip your dvd's to 720x480 MP4 using Handbrake if you like free solutions or my favourite for-pay dvd ripper of choice is Win X Dvd Ripper. Look them both up.

You can use Daniusoft DVD Ripper. It will put the movie straight to your SD card and you can manually choose the res, fps, and a lot more.
It's really nice.
http://www.daniusoft.com/dvd-ripper.html
I would recommend ether the danusoft or cucusoft DVD rippers. CucuSoft has a vary of options that you can choose from. They go from little nanos to apple TV resolutions. You can of course by their full package but you can always save a buck or 2 by getting the one your need.
Here is a link: http://www.cucusoft.com/download.aspx
Go with Handbrake, an oldie but goodie. Just make sure you encode as MPEG4 and not h.264, as the native video player on the EVO can't handle h.264.
Use most of the default options unless you know what you're doing, or have read through the help page for Handbrake.
Personally, for quality I just shoot for a target size instead of a specific bitrate. For 90-120 minutes of film, 700-800 MB is usually good enough for viewing on the EVO's screen (yes, I've tested).
For Avatar, I set it to 1500 MB as it's a long flick.

Your smoking crack the EVO plays x.264.
Yes and no... evo will play h264's baseline profile, but not main and high profiles
It's still x.264 that's what I'm saying its easy too just select the iphone preset change the width to 800 check keep aspect ratio and change the extension to mp4 for some reason it does a m4v extension.
uh, thanks

Thank you for the kind correction
Nonetheless, for playing ripped movies on the EVO, I'd still recommend mpeg4 as opposed to h.264, if only because the encoding job is much quicker.

as long as there aren't hundreds of posts about it in this thread i think its ok to ask again. settings to encode for the evo may be different for the hero or mytouch. personally i use SUPER and use the ipod settings. sometimes ill adjust to taste. for real video watching i use my archos player no encoding needed.
Follow these instructions for nice looking videos.

if you are to encode movie for x10, I think there is no point encoding it more than the screen's res, cuz it will look the same anyway

For encoding, try Handbrake. It works really well using the iPhone preset (just make sure to adjust the video width to 854 pixels).
A Blu-ray rip of an episode of Dexter I have looks amazing.

Technically, it's not playing 720p. The 720 refers to horizontal lines of resolution, not the vertical lines. 1280x720 is the resolution of 720p.
The X10 is capable of playing what YouTube and other sites call "480p", which is pretty much what DVDs are encoded at.
this is great guys. thanks alot, im going to try to download handbrake and convert my mpeg movie files
i agree, x10 can play some really HQ files though i find little use of it, a "normal" 350mb episode or 700mb movie will do fine when coverted to .mp4
it's a pitty x10 doesn't have TV-out capability...i had X2 and it worked pretty nicely
is there any way that picture from the x10 could be sent over wireless or am i just talking nonsence maybe an app that would show on your PC the screen which is on X10

This is incorrect. Yes, the X10 is capable of playing 480p, but you make it sound like it can't play anything above that resolution because the screen itself is 480p.
If you play a 720p video on the X10, it will be downscaled to 480p, but the X10 is still decoding the full 720p video which takes quite some horsepower. I used Handbrake to convert a 1080p Youtube trailer to 720p, which the X10 plays, but not without some stutter. Maybe my bitrate setting were a little high and the X10 could play it smoothly on lower encoding settings, but the fact that it plays a perfectly fine quality 720p even with some dropped frames is still pretty impressive.
And no, it's not really usefull to playback any video with a greater resolution that the X10's native screen resolution, but it's fun to play around with IMO. I do wonder if the media player has GPU acceleration. If not, that these results are all the more impressive.
I have 720p movies ripped from original disc to MKV on my desktop. How do I watch these 720p movies on my EVO? Is there an easier way to put movies on my EVO?
Another question, when I go to YOUTUBE.com on my EVO, all the videos look blurry and are horrible quality... Even when I do a search for 720p quality videos, when I play the video it looks horrible... What am I doing wrong?
What audio/video codecs were used during the encodong?
With youtube, click the HQ button. That should increase the quality.
i have also set youtube to high quality from the setting but still no 720p videos even after the HQ on.

The Evo doesn't have support for HD video. What you're looking for is the HQ button, which stands for high quality. Not all videos have the HQ button enabled.

Sounds like you may be browsing to YouTube. Instead, go to "All apps" and open the "YouTube" app.
It all depends on the videos themselves. For example, lookup any new movie trailers and set the app to HQ, they should look spectacular.
Remember, Android still doesn't have a quality video player akin to CorePlayer for WinMo.
The device itself (correct me if I'm wrong) does not support playback at 720p on its own screen; it outputs 720p via the HDMI port.

You are correct--720p is 1280x720 and the EVO's screen is 800x480. So it will play 720p video, but scaled down to fit the EVO's screen resolution.
As far as playing video on the EVO screen, I think it will play any resolution (although you may get performance issues at very high resolutions) but scaled to fit the screen.
What programs are you guys using for ripping? Just curious...

Check...I am going to upload the entire ripped "Avatar Movie" @600mb piece for your ready ref...its HD while viewing with default video player of Galaxy S!
any question...please ask
I just set up handbrake with some iPad presets, and i think they would be perfect for the galaxy s as well. The iframe option is less than full 720p, but it should be mpre than good enough for displaying on the galaxy screen.
Unless encoding 1080p content, i don't see any point in encoding stuff for the galaxy s.
it reads just about anything.

I've been using the same settings in Handbrake. Even with bit rates around 1800-2000bps it plays really well (colour me impressed). Have set audio to 128kbps AAC, as there isn't much point going above that with just headphones on.
I have to say having come across from the Milestone the screen on this thing is sumptuous. I'll never be able to go back to LCD.

Nah. I meant anything above 128kbps, sorry. On my Milestone I used to use 96kbps but since the SGS is such a beast I figured 'what the hell?'
I have spent time on this, trying many ways as I want a great picture, so on any 1080p and 720p films I go for XMedia Recode/custom/mp4 h264/high/4.1/2 pass at 2000 bit/deblocking low/1280 by 720/mp3 192...I need this as I use sure headphones and they need good input/it works out at around 1gig or just under per hour you do, yes its lots of space but again there is new memory cards on the way (talk of tosh having made a 120gig nand chip) picture is great and its future proof for other mobiles in future as I dont want to have to do them again anytime soon, also on this setting it removes all black bars when the phone plays it (they remain if you watch on tv) but I also guess there is better ways but I just want good picture, and I did read there is problem with how our phone reads blacks, it uses the graphic chip which at the moment has problems understanding shades of black in lower than hd movies, this in turn leads to blocking but only in dark films, one guy found a way to pass this and says picture is great and blocking is almost gone in good rips but he did not state how to do this, so guess rest of us need someone or samsung to fix this, maybe on their first firmware download?
I don't see a point to re-encode movies if SGS reads every single one...

Because there are optimal settings for best quality/clarity.
we suffer from a cap of 4gb, no files bigger than that because of fat32 not letting us move bigger movie files, 720p movies sit around 6 7 8 gigs and 1080p around 10 12 13...some even more.
I just download 720p rips of tv episodes, anime and sports and drop the mkv directly into there.
If it is a movie and its below 4gb 720p i drop the mkv directly in there
If its a movie bigger i just use the hd encoder found here on xda and just do standard 800*480 with hd input.
Of if the movie has a 480 version ... ill grab that instead.
But most of the times i just drop the mkv into there ... mainly movies with subtitles i use the hd encoder.
Is it possible to put ext2 on the microsd card to get around the 4GB limit?
It is a Linux phone, after all. It should be able to handle it.

Just use one of the Xoom profiles, and it should work just fine. However, if you changed some settings, or are trying to convert things like Digital Copy video files, you might run into complications.
Please have a look in the Android section on my website. If you can't find anything there that might help you, let me know what you are actually trying to convert.
Without knowing that, the only suggestion I can offer is to update to the beta. Information on how to do that is also listed on the website.
Handbrake always causes my computer to crash.
I bought DVD Catalyst today after reading this thread and have already ripped several movies quickly and easily. Took a minute to install, zero time to figure out how to use it, cost only 10 bucks and ripped a movie in no time http://www.tools4movies.com/
And I bought it using my paypal. That's always a huge plus for me.

High profile h.264 is more computationally intensive to encode and decode, but theoretically saves on file size for the same quality.
Is your product actually upscaling the 480p DVD source to 1280x800? That seems like an incredible waste of space.

The quality also depends greatly on the source. With DVDs as a source it might shave off 100 MB or so, which is something that in my opinion doest justify the reduction in speed and possible performance issues on the device itself.
While DVD Cat has the capability to upscale video, it actually keeps the original resolution of the video by default if the selected resolution in the device profile is higher. Having the upscaling done by the video player is much more efficient.

I agree with you on both accounts.
High profile savings are of much more benefit with large frame sizes (720p and up) where the hit in encoding time is offset by that reduction in file size.
...
Earlier in the thread it seemed to me that someone had implied that your software was upscaling the video. I was getting ready to launch into a diatribe on the futility and ludicrousness of such a choice.
sassafras
it is a question I receive daily. I have numerous posts on the subject on my website as well as in the user guide and faq. The setting to enable upscaling is there, but it is not enabled by default. It only serves a purpose if you really need your videos to have that specific resolution.
Does DVD Catalyst also convert videos? I have a video that it to massive and must have to many fps i suppose because it skips. I tried covering it to a small file to play on my HTC Inspire with Hamster soft but after 3 hours it is only 15% done. I tried to convert it with DVD Catalyst but all it did after an hour was create a file consisting of 0 bytes.
some people say it's mp4 with decoded with H.264 and some people say it's wmv. i've tried them both on my evo 4g but still can't figure this out.
have any ideas?
I personally don't see any difference in picture quality other than file size. However, if you plan on using your HDMI cable, I would be more concerned with the resolution size, than the format. That's my 2 cents.
Sent from my PC36100
I read on Android Central a long time ago that MP4 was the extension the EVO liked best. If you need help converting videos, I recommend using Handbrake. After you've downloaded your video file, load it into Handbrake and use these settings to make it EVO-friendly:
In the picture tab, set Anamorphic on None, and adjust the resolution. The EVO can only accept as high as 1280x720. Leave Keep Aspect Ratio checked. This will ensure the video doesn't get squished or is too tall.
Skip Video Filters.
In the Video tab, use MPEG-4(FFmpeg) as your codec. Under Quality, I find it easier to aim for a specific file size than bitrate. The EVO supports HD files up to 2GB, as I've noticed any higher results in lag.
In the Audio tab, choose whatever settings you please for output. You really don't need to change anything here.
And that's it. Any questions feel free to PM me.
Both h.264 and 3gp will give you the same result with this phone. Generally, h264 is a GREAT codec, it's what is used in blu-ray's as it compresses very well and leaves a lot of quality. However, on the evo of course, using h264 limits you to 800x480. Now, switching to 1280x720 would give you a better picture you would think. However, of course you have to use the 3gp codec, which is probably over 10 years old, and is horrible at compressing video. It really wasnt even meant to be used on video, just audio.

In the Video tab, use MPEG-4(FFmpeg) as your codec. Under Quality, I find it easier to aim for a specific file size than bitrate. The EVO supports HD files up to 2GB, as I've noticed any higher results in lag.
In the Audio tab, choose whatever settings you please for output. You really don't need to change anything here.
And that's it. Any questions feel free to PM me.

Both h.264 and 3gp will give you the same result with this phone. Generally, h264 is a GREAT codec, it's what is used in blu-ray's as it compresses very well and leaves a lot of quality. However, on the evo of course, using h264 limits you to 800x480. Now, switching to 1280x720 would give you a better picture you would think. However, of course you have to use the 3gp codec, which is probably over 10 years old, and is horrible at compressing video. It really wasnt even meant to be used on video, just audio.

So.. you mean 3pg is a better choice on this phone rather than h.264 ?

I agree with you. What I do is convert using Handbrake and select iphone4 preset. Works great on my evo.
