Even if you get the disc reading in Android, what are you going to play the movies with? I don't know of any DVD playback software for Android, though if there is something that can do it, please direct me!
I have tried every possible player on market....none of them play video_ts...!?

Remember most dvds are encrypted.... try with either a ripped disk or the rare unencrypted disk

So have you actually managed to see the drive? I connected mine and it doesn't show.
I think a generic driver from linux must be ported.

thats not an issue for me, here in my country 99,9% of dvd's are pirated and therefore unencrypted
Wht will you do by reading the drive when you can't even play it..!

Dvd drives are used for many things here... not just for video... but for data transfer..
I too have my whole music collection backed on DVDs and a lot of clips and pictures from parties and trips.
I suggest we start a new thread that isn't spammed by thick headed people.

Is there any way to use the Epic as a mini monitor? I'm assuming not but I figured I'd ask anyways. Would it be possible at all?
That's actually a very good idea but I don't think its possible.
epic
No HDMI in for the simple reason that there is no hardware support.

Doesn't really make any sense since our resolution is so low the HDMI input video would look horrible. Also, considering we can't even get the standard video out to work I seriously doubt the reverse is going to work.
Not wired, but there's this app: http://www.shapeservices.com/en/products/details.php?product=idisplay&platform=android
Theres another that I can't find right now (magic something I think). Both are based on VNC mirror display drivers, do you need a pc, a server app for the pc and the client software for your andoid.
Good luck.

Has anyone found a way to successfully stream videos, more specifically Netflix, thru hdmi on a stock unrooted Evo? I can watch my own personal videos but not netflix. Sorry if this has already been posted.
Thanks in advance
Adventure...Excitement...A Jedi craves not these things.
hmmmmm. I personally don't have netflix. But I thought that when we plug it in, it should be able to mirror it right?
The only way for netflix to work that way would be to mirror it through fullhdmi. Only the native apps can mirror regularly but full mirroring needs root.
I Haz 3D!
I haven't done this yet, but I would try to just download the movie, convert the file to 3gp, then drop it into the same directory as the native app uses. Then play it using your phone as the movie player to the tv.
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
what's a good program to convert to that format? I used to use handbrake but it doesn't work with the Evo. I've got a TON of movies I want to convert.
Try running a search for "3gp Converter" on the andriod market. Looks like MyView and TeteVideo can do the conversion. Remember, I haven't done this but this the route i'd go for trying to get it to work from my phone.

anyone can do a search. But when it comes down to it. I want something that everyone else uses because it is great software.
The other thing that I was wanting was a program that could take my Digital copies from blue-rays and put them into a usable format to play on the evo that I can connect a HDMI cable to a tv with that I can output.
I'm in the spot ALL the time where no one has blueray players or good systems and my phone can output just fine. then again, I'm mainly just doing youtube videos. lol.
anyway, any hot ladies in here. I want to lay you down. :-D

You can try it but, it's going to look horrible in 3gp on TV from your phone without root and full mirroring.

Will *.AVI work on the native app if the file is dropped in the right folder?
I just download the AVI file (on my Phone) then burn to dvd or copy & paste to a laptop with an HDMI that can be connected to a TV.
I just use my phone when I am stuck somewhere like on a plane or airport. (using Rock Player Lite)
Hi guys,?
I've been using my iconia for a few weeks now and i m starting to quite get along with the Android world.
Im using a FREEBOX for router and it now has AIRMEDIA, compatible with apple's airplay (again, dont throw rocks...just asking)
It made me wonder if there was any tweaks to choose the speakers i wanna use, like airplay.
Lets say i want to use gmusic and send sound to my hifi system from the tablet, how could i do that ?
Thanks forward

Yes I did. And there are alternative wireless setups you can purchase.
Last time I was at Radio Shack, I saw a unit that you plugged into your headset jack, then plugged the receiver into your stereo which allowed wireless transmission from one to the other. I don't remember how much they cost, but I remember it wasn't too pricey.
Thanks, i ll look into it

Found a solution for this?
I have the Airplay DLNA speakers from Bowers & Wilkins, the Zeppelin Air. Currently I am streaming thru Twonky mobile and this works perfect on my Galaxy TAB.
I also tried Honey Player and DoubleTwist, but both of these apps do not do the trick...
Nevertheless am I searching for a way to stream Radio and Podcasts....
Who can help?
MP3, Radio and Podcasts now via Honey Player (new version 7th of July) working with my B&W Zeppelin Air speakers!! Apple Airplay on Android.. nice ..
Works fantastic...

So you want to see the game you're playing on your phone from your PC? Just use a MicroUSB -> HDMI adapter and link it directly to an HDMI monitor, it will work better!
Or maybe I didn't get what you need?
You won't find anything hat isn't sluggish, but try MyMobiler. It used to be pretty good on WM, but I haven't tried the Android version.

Thanks man, will try it out! any more suggestions? and iam talking about playing graphically intensive games!
What you desire is not going to happen on your laptop, unless you fork out a whole lot of money for hardware to give you HDMI input.
Is there anyway to hook up the nexus 7 to an external monitor. (DVI, HDMI, VGA)
is there a piece of hardware that I could buy if not? (To make it work with the previously mentioned connections)
Thanks for your Time

I'm sorry but there isn't any way to use our n7 on tv/monitor through cable.
If you want you had to use dlna (and install a app on your n7) !
excuse me for my bad english

Bubbleupnp works great. Also imediashare. I use bubbleupnp daily to stream video from my n7 to my xbox360
Press thanks if I helped ~ Nexus7/ParanoidAndroid/FrancoKernel
Honestly I was hoping to do more than just stream, I'd like to be able to (Somehow) hook it up to a monitor, get a bt keyboard and mouse attached and use it as a computer.
(I truthfully doubt dlna can do that, but if it can i'll buy an adaptor for my monitor, and we'll be in business)
So, you want some kind of mirroring?
Sorry but this is impossible for the n7!
Yes. That is What I would like.
Is there any external buyable hardware that can make this possible?

No, sorry.
Have you looked at the raspberry pi and android transporter? If you are willing to root an use their ROM, it should do good enough to mirror your screen to tv
