Avatar on the tab.... - Galaxy Tab General

So i thought I would try to watch Avatar that came with my vibrant so I plugged in the microsd in the tab tried to launch the movie but all I got was that the movie was locked it asked me if I wanted to unlock it I selected yes but nothing happened, I the tried to play the trailer and it worked. What I also noticed was the the movie didn't work on my vibrant either I guess cause I am running a froyo rom the tab is also running froyo. Has anyone tried to play the movie? Any luck or suggestions.

not exactly the answer i was looking for but thanks.

Register Divx
You probably have to register your "Divx device", it's mentioned in the quick start guide that came with tab! (one of the first pages about licenses)
It's in the online manual as well:
ABOUT DIVX VIDEO-ON-DEMAND
This DivX Certified® device must be registered in order to play purchased DivX Video-on-Demand (VOD) movies. To obtain your registration code, locate the DivX VOD section in your device setup menu. Go to vod.divx. com for more information on how to complete your registration.
Maybe this will solve your problem!

ok maybe this will explain better what i was trying to say on my original post.
On the Vibrant we have a copy of Avatar which is labeled as follows avatar.dcf. now when you launch the stock video player on the vibrant the movie plays no problem. When i insert the microsd card from the Vibrant into the tab and i use the same video player i am unable to play the movie, as stated on my original post it states the the movie is locked and asks me if i want to unlock it but when i select yes nothing happens. hope this clarifies what i want to do.

sounds like it has some kind of protection on it which prohibits it from being played/copied to other devices...

Great find. I shall use this site all the time. Is there any other sites that you know of that stream video or movies or tv shows in better quality then tinytube? For example, we have a site for porn called ifap.to when you select a a video and then select 3G/wifi it plays that video in almost dvd quality. So my question is, is there site like ifap.to for the G1 out there that anyone knows of that streams videoes?
Looks like it's going through the YouTube browser.
Cool find, we need to find what other sites are compatible.
Yes that's where I'm trying to get at, I'm also wondering what other sites will work. But I don't even know where to start searching. What would I type into the google search bar? "Mobile video streams"? I don't even know where to start lol.

I believe it's 3GPP over RTSP (realtime streaming protocol). Youtube is probably the biggest source of general 3GPP content anyway. Search the forum for more links. I think I actually made a post about this two/three months ago.

droid x HDMI only for self made videos and pictures? what the ****????

Man I returned my EVO Cuz I read somewhere Droid x HDMI can play with all programs includes YouTube, Blockbuster apps, or anything now I just read somewhere on the internet that an actual user was reviewing the device (go ahead google it) it will only support self made videos and pictures only I'm like WHAT THE ****!!! THIS IS ALMOST A DEAL BREAKER LOL anyone know about this?DAMN!!!
PS this goes to show that rumors is so much out there and until you wait and see it is really out and user Really review it really count.
Care to explain where you read this?

It's in several reviews, though I can't remember which ones off the top of my head.
Its in the user guide that is out. HDMI is for user created content only (created on the phone). Definitely sucks, but not a deal breaker for me as DNLA is good enough for me. It's not like it is a feature other phones can do, then I would be pissed.
Only until we get root if this is true

I was in hopes that being it reads divx... I could plug straight into the tv anywhere with my torrents : )
Damn. HDMI was my main justification for upgrading from Incredible. Now I am going to have come up with a new excuse. This is becoming harder since the X sounds like it is a bit baggy in terms of UI,even if it isn't called blur, and the DI has been rooted (although in a pain-in-the-ass fashion)

It should, they stated that it is only enabled when you are in the Gallery, so if you can play your movies in the gallery then you can use HDMI.
So it is not only pictures and movies you take it is all pictures and movies in the gallery, you just cannot use HDMI for your apps, IE Youtube, etc.

I don't have the device so I can't be certain, but the user manual for the device states only media created by the phone can be displayed via HDMI. So don't get your hopes up until you see someone doing otherwise.
With it being a signed bootloader i doubt we're going to have custom roms or drivers that fix this. Though who knows, once it's rooted, maybe there's just a config file that needs hacking. Depends on how deeply this is programed into the OS.
So are you saying that If I load a playable movie file into my telephone's video gallery......I should be able to watch it through the HDMI port? Kinda Confusing....cause I've heard some people say you can do it........others say you can't.

According to the user manual you cannot. So until someone posts proof otherwise, I would go with the user manual.

Me too, been on a old WinMo phone after I gave up my Imagio to an coworker to get their upgrade for this. Been 3 weeks of just using a phone as a phone, sucks!
according to
the SlashGear review it can play side loaded video files via the HDMI.
http://www.slashgear.com/droid-x-review-0793011/
I don't normally go to this site so don't know how reliable they are.
Clarity feels so good right now!
I just left work from Verizon and just got done discussing the Droid X with our Technical support trainers.......they led me to beleive that the Droid X will output video via HDMI as long as it's not DRM protected.
So that brings me to my next question....If I download a DVD torrent file.....is it DRM protected?

More than likely anything you grab from a torrent isn't going to have DRM
Well then as long as I can grab one of these phones soon as the release date....I'll be set to go then.

The Deal of the Century

I found some girl on Kijiji wanting to trade her Week old Xperia X10 in pristine condition for an iphone 3gs. I ended up talking her into taking my beat up jailbroken iphone 3g + $25 for the Xperia. TomTom on the iphone was the deal closer. How jealous are you all
I love this phone and have zero regrets. Im a new member to this site and have really appreciated all the helpful posts on increasing battery life and general usage of android this being my first android phone.
If i had one complaint about this phone so far it is that i am unable to find an app that has a pc side server to stream all my movies over the net to my phone. I used to have one for the Iphone called AirWave (i think) that would do this while convert the video file to MP4 on the fly.
Lucky you! she should have gone to your location to give it to you and then jump into the falls!! lol
actually i did make her come deliver it LOL

There is one app called Gmote, it s free try it
Thanks for the tip. I get bored working midnights at work
This app would be perfect if it had server side conversion to mp4 on the fly from formats like divx and mkv but i spose i can always convert what i want to watch at home before i goto work. Its definately a step in the right direction and i appreciate your advice.

maby try rock player it plays DIVX on the handset if you have a big enough mem card for several movies
still wishing sony would release a REMOTE PLAY app for android so we can stream from our PS3's ..if not for all androids at least make one built into an SE update for SE users
Rockplayer is the way to go!
Sent from my X10i using XDA App
yea i use rock player already and it works wonders but im looking for something more along the lines of being able to stream my 2TB divx movie collection to my phone over 3g rather than dump and replace off the sd card every few days .... im just lazy like that. I dont think such an app exists yet but Gmote is very close with their beta video player they just lack the codec support at the moment.

Avatar on a Captivate????

I was wondering if the Avatar movie could be copied to a Captivate. I was told it maybe copy protected. It would be nice if I could upload it to my phone
DRM prevents this from working - at least I was unable to install on a Droid X. After some research, sounded like it was locked down pretty good. I was hoping to do a video comparison of the two phones, o well.
BTW I wasn't suggesting that anyone partake in any illegal actions. I was just curious and I really like the movie.
Too badd AT&T didn't offer something to show off the Captivate's video capabilities.
Buy a copy of Avatar and put it on your phone..
Actually how would I install a movie on the phone. Is there any special software I would need?

As long as it's in a format the phone can play, aka: almost any, just copy it to your sd card/internal memory on your phone, and you can watch it, nothing special needed.
If I bought the DVD and attempted to install a movie on my phone, what software could I use to compress it enough not to take up all my memory? What format would it have to be to be viewed on the phone?
handbrake works well for compressing / backing up video. i saw a forum thread here somewhere with handbrake tips.

[Q] Media Hub V. ?????

Ok. So the media hub is out. Looks like you can rent and/or own movies depending on title. The renting is 2.99. I've found own for 9.99 and 12.99. I'm a little worried about paying DVD prices (or somewhat less for some titles) and not getting the DVD, or getting the ability to transfer to another viewing device, ie. dvd, computer. Anyone know what the lowdown is on transfers, etc? I know I've had a hard time trying to find a movie that I can actually put on this phone via dvd ripping from my own dvd library (if that's even legal) or for download from any legal source online. At least the media hub has that going for it.
Anyone know if there are other avenues to actually use the awesome power of this device to watch movies in my palm? Is Media Hub better than?
Ps. I think it is funny that Forrest Gump is listed as comedy. Nice job classifying that one guys.
it still says coming soon for me :/
*edit* oh nevermind i see, its a system update to get it. XD

Nope, just Vibrant as far as I can tell.
Does it bill to your Sprint bill or is there separate payment information?
probably have to stop by the store so they can take a melon baller to your seat cushion.
I'm not really sure how the payment works. I exchanged my phone today due to the back button issue. Now I haven't received the new update yet.
Media hub payments
Ok. So I broke down and bought the latest star trek. Basically, you enter your credit card information into Media Hub the app stores it there (actually, I think it stores it on Samsung's server). I don't think there are any alternatives. Now, based on the current download rate and percentage, I should be able to watch it sometime next week.

3G? 4G? Wifi? On 4G, the previews always played for me instantly. Even the 2 and a half minute trailers.
I watched a few previews over 4g. I have to admit the video quality was excellent and playback smooth. This might be good for an occasional rental, but once netflix comes out for Android they can kiss this goodbye.

download speed and AllShare
Well it looks like there is no AllShare support. Can't push this thing to my TV (actually PS3) for viewing. The movie doesn't show up in the AllShare list. I'm not surprised I guess, just disappointed. My guess is that the movie is not being stored in any meaningful format so AllShare couldn't read it if it wanted to. Of course, there could be a way around or some setting I'm missing. I don't think it's a setting at this point though. Media Hub has no settings anywhere that I can find.
The video quality is pretty awesome, no skips, studders, sloops, woops, or whillips. The sounds wasn't *bad*. It's a decent movie viewing experience - even for a big screen action blockbuster. Would be awesome during a long flight, or similar, without having to drag along extra electronics.
However, combined with there currently being no mini-usb to hdmi cable means no support to watch Media Hub movies on a bigger screen. Looks like I'm back to looking for another solution to watching movies on my phone. 12 bucks isn't really a good investment vs. the actual DVD/Blueray (3 dollars more on Amazon). If I was wealthier, maybe. I think this means I won't be using Media Hub, except for the one movie I already paid for.
About the download speed:
I didn't bother trying to watch it before the download was finished so I don't know if that is possible. I think it was a 1-2 hour download but I didn't keep track, maybe I could have started it sooner. Not to bad I guess (over wifi). I couldn't imagine doing this over 3g...definitely an overnight thing.
