I'm not sure if this is posted or not but i use Xilisoft program to convert videos. What should I used to get the video full screen on my Mytouch 4g because it very tiny when i upload a video.
I have all kinds of movies on my phone that play full screen. And they are either .FLV or .AVI.
did you convert them or what? mine seem to be all tiny and not the full screen i dont know why
I just use arc media from the market to watch videos. Don't need to convert anything. It plays divx, xvid, avi, you name it. Plus it's free.

Not at all, they came that way.
No need to convert video files.
I am officaly going to say hello to all since this is my first post. I have been watching XDA for a while. I had the first G1 fully rooted with CM and enjoyed it a lot but now I just got the MTG4. I LOVE THIS THING!!! Just a small intro! (And yes I have it already rooted!)
I am also using arcMedia from the Android Market to watch movies. It works well so far. I have tried a few avi/divx files and no problem.
Another program from the Android Market is I have also tried that works is RockPlayer. Not sure which one I like best but I have both for a while and will be switching back and forth.
So you guys just transfer the movie you don't convert? If not doesn't that make the movie file bigger? But I tried just transferring the movie and using those videos players you said to dl but yet it still not full screen dont know what im doing wrong. Sorry if i keep bugging everyone with this.

The media players listed will play your files without you converting them. Your conversion has made them tiny. Just copy em to your phone as is.
There's built in support for xvid/divx if people hadn't noticed yet. Hardware decoding in the latest generation of snapdragon, yay! I just tried xvid and it played with the default media room no problem

I tried using the default media room on a movie downloaded from the internet and it wouldn't play it - ArcMedia played it just fine.
Is there a max resolution that the video needs to be in?

I didn't do anything special. Just grabbed an xvid file from eztv and it played no problem.

I did a test and moved three movies to my phone. I tested them all in the media room and only one worked. That is why I use a video player.
In each of the players I mentioned before you can change the size of the video to your screen.

Movie conversion
Hey guys I am having trouble with any player playing my converted movies. I am using the Divx Plus converter. I wonder if there are any other ones you could recommend.
dont convert the video. try using it in the orinigal format, see what happens
This phone doesn't really play very many movie files, sadly. Coming from the Vibrant, this is upsetting...
I wish something like VLC would get ported to Android.
Please post questions in Q&A section.

This may sound completely stupid, but how do you play video on your xoom? I mean there isn't even a dedicated video app. How the hell do you release a tablet and expect it to compete with the I pad without a native video player or support for most video formats? I just transferred a couple of avi files that don't show up anywhere because there's no app to play them.

Theres an icon on your homescreen that says gallery. It plays movies as long as they are supported format. Try rockplayer universal it will play avis

QQplayer works for me too. Multichannel too. i havent tried mkv files yet
edit: it does play MKV files and with subtitles
Great just what I was afraid of. I have almost a 1TB of movies/videos/TV shows. So my only options are to convert them all or use a non tablet android app to play unsupported files. Thanks for the info though guys.

mkv high profile will not work on Xoom with any current player and I tried them all.
Ya i just tried a couple of files i had already converted for my moms ipad. a couple were DVDrips and those played pretty much fine using rocklayer. But one was a converted 1080p music video. The music video played fairly well but there was a noticeable difference in the frame rate from the standard def videos.it wasnt at all choppy but it wasnt as fluid as i would have liked. If this is what im going to have to expect from HD video then im definitely not sold on this tab.

It is certainly not what i expected. Hopefully it can be fixed with an update or app.
i downloaded dvd catalyst 4 online it was 9.99 (normally $20) and has a preset for motorola xoom
just load any dvd into your computer click go and when its done it will have you connect the xoom and transfer it
then click on the gallery app and there it is. the quality is great too

You can use Handbrake, a free video encoding program. I found that redoing h.264 high profile to h.264 main profile(see the link) and dropping motion estimation method to diamond, Subpixel ME & Mode Decision to 0, and avg bitrate to 4000 kbps makes for a lower encode time(20ish minutes for 1 hour on my i7 920 win 7 64bit). Excellent quality too vs original.
I'm attempting to convert a 720p copy of inception using handbrake right now. (6 hrs estimated time) what a pain in the ass. I set it to the APPLE preset. Which I'm hoping/assuming is what one would use for the ipad. Ill let you guys know how it turns out. If it does work won't be so bad as I can just set a bunch of files to convert in queue while i sleep.

Iceytea posted a handbrake preset for Xoom. I am trying it now and it is going much faster. 2 hour 720p movie took me 1 hour estimated with Apple universal preset and with this one 45 minutes. Can't comment on quality yet as it is still converting.

Dude, the SDK was just released this week. There will be a tablet optimized app within a month or so... your video files are not wasted.
So I am using the rom in my Sig and since using Android I have been unable to play my higher quality movies. My latest example is Inception, I burned it from my DVD at 2000kbs, 29.47 fps, 128kps audio & 480x800 res. File size is roughly 2.28gb (mainly because of the length of the movie, a 90 min movie averaged about 1.1gb)
Now that may seem crazy but movies burned this way played just fine when using WP7 (never got around to switching back to WinMo to test it but I would imagine it would work), I played inception for example before switching to Android and now when using several different media players I get a "this video can not be played" error message. Nothing about the file has changed at all
Does anyone have any suggestions? Does Android have a problem with movies over a certain file size? It's encoded as h.264 mp4 using iSkysoft media burner (which is awesome btw, well worth the money)
Thanks for anyone that can help as I don't want to switch back to WP7 just to view my movies (at least until Mango is released )

wtf lol
just downloaded rockplayer. It gives me the choice of using software or hardware codec but both fail. Downloading a new movie....
I know this is slightly off topic, but I have been using DVD Catalyst to rip DVD's for my Xoom and I am extremely impressed with the ease of use and the quality of the converted files. The files play perfectly with the default movie player full screen and the "volume maximizer" works very well.
I know this may not help if you already have DVD rips as I know converting files multiple times does not always work very well, but thought I should mention it.
I do not work for them, just a happy customer.
Just tried another video in both players, same problem. Any ideas?

Wait, I thought the Xoom could play many different formats.
Use MoboPlayer
You need to use the Moboplayer. Get it from the market or from their home page
moboplayer.com
Use the Medium V6 VFP version on your Xoom.
It plays just about every video format out there.
ya, that made all my divx work and i didnt have to convert anything =D
I hated re-encoding everything to Xoom format until I found MoboPlayer. Sit back and enjoy your movies
Motorola didn't pay to get their tablet "Divx certified", so you have to use third party players to handle avi/mkv files. The only negative about having to use a third party player is that its using the CPU to play the file and will drain the battery at a faster rate than if the Xoom was hardware decoding it.
Does anyone know if the Moboplayer will play MTS files? My Panasonic DMC-ZS3 camera captures 720p movie using the AVCHD (MPEG-4/H.264) format, via AVCHD lite..... The saved file is an MTS file and I'd love to be able to play it natively without re-encoding it........
i know there is a converter and some people having problems with mkv and i know about h.264 and im starting use my atrix as multimedia i watch some movies in "dvdrip" i doubt since seems quality it lower, i try with an anime dvdrip .mp4 and i cant watch so im wondering wich software i can use to convert in the desire format without lose quality. i have any dvd converter.
so not sure how to convert and what settings. this start annoy me since my n1 play several formats. sorry if this was covered but i didnt find the right solution.
thanks a lot
I would appreciate an answer to this as well.
I have found that the Affix will play most of the .avi movies that I download. I haven't had any luck with the few mp4 or mvk files I've tried.
If anyone knows how to convert any format to something the Atrix can play, please let us know..
Thanks!!
Sent from my MB860 using Tapatalk
Instead of converting just install a player that can decode all of these files. There are a couple of good ones out there. I've read good things about Meridian and VPlayer.
I try rock player no luck ,i download from youtube the google io in hd 60 fps 1280x720 and .mp4 and surprise I can't play.
My one year old nexus one do fine stupid motorola y try convert with any dvd and was awful the video was so fast not sync with sound,i guess because 60 fps and max van convert its 30 fps any more tips? Thanks

The issue is not codecs, it's Tegra 2 cannot handle high profile HD decoding (at least at the moment)
If you stick to Main profile and no B-frames you will likely be ok. Which also means you are likely having to re-encode your video.
More info here
Handbrake preset here
qqplayer works
If you add the video with motorola media link (think that's what its called) it will convert it to play on your phone.

Our video player supports:
All video formats (need to choose "software decoding" mode in most cases)

Subtitles built in MKV, MPV, MOV, and others
Multi-audio streams and multi-subtitles
Playlists and continuous play on same type files
Videos streamed through HTTP, RTSP protocols
Media libraries and sort videos by type
Thumbnail displays of videos
strange dude, my atrix plays all formats, i think that have one, that only comes audio, but this video was 1080p(HD) and i dont made even 1 update in my atrix
it's not that simple.
just because you can play one individual 720p h.264 file doesn't mean you can play them all. there are different profiles / bit rates etc.
For h.264 Tegra 2 supports main profile but not high profile. Xoom owners have done all kinds of tests on this. To date no video player has been able to overcome this.
Hey people, i am taking a trip to europe next month and i wanted to watch some movies on the plane to kill some time. Does anyone know how i can download either free movies or paid movies to my evo?
Thanks
Netflix? Megaviewer?
If you own the dvds, you can rip them using PSPVideo9, or whatever number they are now. You will be able to rip and decrypt the DVDs into a viewable format for just about any mobile Device. I hope you got a big card though. They are pretty big depending on the movie.
Piracy aside, this raises a good question. What(if any) converters are people using to get videos into an Evo compatible format? Also, what encoding profiles are you using with said programs?

Any tips on what encoding parameters you're using? I don't really need HD video on my phone, just a decent quality and minimal size. Similar to what a DVDrip is for the "community" small in size, still decent quality (or so i hear)
I have used Bitripper to rip my dvd collection. Each movie ends of being around 1gb give or take and the quality is pretty good.
A good app for simply viewing movies is "Crackle". It has a good quantity of movies to view which are free, as well as the app itself.
i use handbrake and use the iphone setting works pretty good for format and dvdshrink to rip and do a reauthor taking out all menus and lang,ect... using those two most movie run about 500mb(lowest)to 960mb(highest).

I use freemake video converter. It's free and very simple to use. You don't even have to know what format you need. Ask you what platform you want to covert to(blu-ray, apple, android,youtube, flash, etc).
