Video Encoding

What would the best application and settings be to encode a movie for playback on the Nexus S?
Sent from my Nexus S using XDA App

I use DVDfab for my ripping and encoding needs for any device

What resolution/codec etc.. I'd like to convert to a file that will look good and play well with the default supported codecs.
Doesn't Gingerbread support a couple new codecs?

[Q] Best Method to Get Video

Looking for opinions on the best way to get videos (tv shows/movies) on the SGT.
Primarily looking for non-streaming options to view on a flight.

.mp4 works best with the built in media player and will play full hd, i used handbrake to convert some apple trailers to 1024 width and the necessary height pixels with auto aspect correction. They play perfectly. I encoded at 2500kbps. The built in player is really good. Doesn't support 5.1 though. For avi and mkv, rockplayer is the best. Won't play hd though but hopefully the dev is working on it.

Default player is great. But if you want to play everything else then use vplayer.

for $10 bucks catalyst is great for dvds you own to convert them into all kinds of formats it has a SGT preset makes it super EZ.

Or handbrake can do it for free if you have vlc

Rockplayer is free and plays about everything including flv.

[Q] FLV Support !!!

Hello!
Does Xperia Play or Xperia Arc support FLV?
Thanks.

Just tried a random .flv downloaded by tubemate on the R800x (American Play) and it failed (using stock video player).

Noal FLV Player works quite well. Not many skipped frames and decent video quality.

Video Player that can play .wmv

Hi,
In my phone i have MX Player, Real Player, Zimly, Mobo Player and Easy Video player. But any one of the above are able to play >wmv video files?
Can some one suggest me a video player that can play .wmv files smoothly.
Thanks in Advance.

our p500 cant play some video files smooth..because we have low h/w acceleration..

Smoothly....idk but I believe mx video player has support and its free on the market....download the video player and the armv6-vfp codecs

Yes I can confirm that. I played a 720p wmv file with MX player weeks ago (but of coz it's not smooth on my ICS rom)

I already tried that. MX player plays only audio, it doesn't shows video for .wmv files.

Did you try software decoding(SW) mode?(on the upper right corner while playing).
Otherwise video probably has big resolution and you need to convert it.(480x320)

I tried to play through software decoding but it say "this video can't play using software decoding".
And the video resolution I am trying to play is 640x480. Is this resolution is compatible with our optimus one?

Yep.,640*480 videos are playable on p500.
But if you are on ics rom then it is lagging. Try to play on any GB rom, it's playing smoothly.

Rockplayer shows most of the archive formats, but don't play some of them smoothly.
