Problem with movies being too big to transfer SOLVED!! - Galaxy Tab 10.1 General

If the Movies is too big to transfer just use (HJsplit 3.0) and split the movie in half and then transfer it over to the tab, use wifi explorer pro to transfer it works flawless

Is that so? Even when pushing to /sdcard?

Unlike phone-derived Android, /sdcard on our devices isn't really an SD card. It's actually the exact same partition as /data.
It's just symlinked so that apps which expect /sdcard don't break.
As it's an ext4 partition, it doesn't have the 4GB file size limit of FAT.
This, by the way, is why our tabs don't support USB Mass Storage but instead implement MTP. USB Mass Storage exports the raw block device, MTP operates on files. This allows it to be used when other apps are also using /sdcard, and allows the ext4-ness of /sdcard to get hidden. The disadvantage is that it's far less standardized than USB Mass Storage. MTP seems flaky on our devices, but ADB (Android USB debugging) is nice and solid.

Once you have the movie on your Tab (in a million or so pieces) how do you play it? I have done what you said but I can't get it to play in order -- just plays one file and quits...Please help

just transcode it with handbrake or dvd catalyst - problem solved! entire movie at manageable file size with excellent quality

Just chose the next file i haven't managed to get them to play in order, working on it.

MKV solves ALL of these problems.
Download mkvtoolnix for your OS
This toolset allows you to do the following very easily:
Add any video/audio source to MKV container without compression
Split MKV into any size chunks
MKV split into chunks can be "linked" and if the player fully supports it, it will automagically find the next chunk to be played. I dont think diceplayer supports the link functionality of mkv. Boo hoo you need to pick the other chunk to play when one runs out. Not a deal breaker.

Thanks -- I originally didn't see that you could set the files to a 3GB file and I was just using the default of 1048k.....Now it is only in 3 files instead of a million!!

how to put a movie on 8125?

(i have a cingular 8125 with a 2gb mini sd card) ok.. so i have the movie on my computer.. i have shrunk it to bout 800mb.. and it opens with quicktime.. quicktime doesn't have the right codec to play it therefor i downloaded VLC.. a program which supports it and will play the movie.. the aspect ratio is 320X240 but from here i don't know what to do.. i'm kinda new at this but would love to learn do i need to download any applications on my phone or will windows media player support it..
What you need is . . . . .
Pocket DivXEncoder : http://www.pdagold.com/software/detail.asp?s=1224
and . . . .
TCPMP : http://tcpmp.corecodec.org/about
Pocket DivXencoder allows you to convert the files and TCPMP allows you to play the files. Both are freeware. A 90 minute movie will come out at about 200Mb.
the movie is on my mac.. not my pc.. and i don't know how to get it off of it because the quciktime movie has to be opened with VLC for it to play
Welcome MacHead
Ahh....the trials and tribulatioins of us superior beings....
Well, to make this short, you basically have 3 options to choose from.
1. Use an adapter to transfer the files directly to the card. You will need 2 adapters actually. One for mini SD ->SD and another to connect SD-> USB. This is probably the easiest and most straight forward method
2. Get MissingSync for WindowsMobile. This option is only valid if you want to also sync playlists with iTunes and PIM information with iCal and Address Book. The reliability of large transfers is sketchy but I think it works very well on newer Macs.
3. "That's what you got wifi for" If you Mac is connected to a network that has a wireless access point somewhere on it. You can "download" the movie from you Mac over wifi. I have done this a few times to get around the sketchiness of MissingSync. You can also transfer the file from your Mac to your PC and use ActiveSync.
Hope this helps. I can give you more info. After you pick a specific option.
hahaha, I love how mac people have to use WINDOWS Mobile... Where is your Mac OS Mobile? Hmmmm....?
hahaha
how to transfer > 220MB file to MDA
hi,
just download the program and converted 1 movie to about 220mb. I used activeSync to transfer files to MDA. For some reason, it can't be synchronized. Can anyone let me know how to transfer it from pc to MDA.
Thanks
when dealing with big files you should go purchase a card reader makes it 10x easier...check out my site in the sig for videos, ringtones and more.
Or you can just get a program like Card Export II which lets your Wizard (8125) act like a thumb drive and you can just drag the file to your storage card.
I use Card Export II and it works great on my Macbook Pro.
Pocket DVD Studio:
It allows you to rip just about any DVD to any size. You can make Windows Media files or .AVI files (which I prefer). You make them in the range of 125m to 225megs and you can fit a dozen movies on a 2g chip.
For the .AVI, you'll have to get a CODEC file for your PC, but that's free (XviD 1.0), and you'll have to download a different player than WM, but BetaPlayer, that they also provided free, is a FAR nicer player than WM. You don't have playlists and transfers and all that nonsense. You simply open the file you want and play it. Also BetaPlayer will go to Landscape mode just by tapping the screen. I just found out they now call it: TCPMP (and I see they have it for SmartPhones--wonder if it will run on my Samsung D-820?)
It's at PQDVD.com.

I don't know...you need a different util to create .3gp files. They make one, but there's another called Super @ that is shareware. It's tricky to use but does work. You have to play with settings.
thanks.. i was wanting to put it on my card.. and then just play it from my phone.. but the mac won't play the avi file because it doesn't have the right codec.. so i have VLC on my mac and it will play on the mac.. and i don't know where to go from there.. if i put it on the card i didn't think windows media player would play it.. i don't know the step by step procedure.. i'm new at this so just call me blonde..

TCPMP will play .3gp just fine. I think that the WMP version on the Wizard may also play .3gp since you can save your cam movies in that format. .3gp is a mobile version of h.264 or actually I think its actual name is h.263. Anyway if you get QuicktimePro (look for a serial code online). You can encode/transcode just about anything into that format. Oddly enough it even works on files that Quicktime claims it can not play.

Cool, I used to use these files on my old P900 and they seemed to compres really well...have to experiment a bit....
Mac Vidoe Converting
we macusers rock, and u just need visualhub, it does the job in about 15 minutes, in any code in any size, and of course, use tcmp for watching it on your ppc.
go versiontracker and grab visualhub
drag and drop the file ( whatever ist is) into it, choose the output size and codec and click run, u can send it dircetly to your storage card by choosing the output folder.

Video on WMP

I'm having some trouble. . .
On my Wing, it seems that it wont really play any of the videos I store on my SD card. I've got maybe 300 gigs of media on my box, and I realize that the device supports 3GP, MP4, and AVI files, though I have no idea what versions of those extensions will play.
I have tried converting file types, file strengths (encoding, etc) to no avail. At one point I condensed an episode from my Robot Chicken DVD (picked for hilarity as well as small file size) and though the file was say, 50 MB on the computer (and played using WMP), and 50MB on the phone, it only played and scrolled as if the file was 5 seconds long on the phone.
Just like the blackberry, I assume there is a converter, or something I am otherwise missing here. All I really want to be able to do is to take a DVD, or take a file I've created, found, unearthed while deep-sea diving, etc, and play it on my Wing.
Where do I start?
EXTRA BONUS QUESTION: I installed Opera Mini as an alternative browser in root, which I now realize is IMPOSSIBLE to access. I believe a memory wipe should cure that. Would it be accessable if I store it on say, the SD card? Through file manager maybe?

Media player sucks for viewing any type of video on your phone. I suggest you install TCPMP and you should be fine. Do a search on the forum and you should find it pretty easy. As far as your Opera Mini Question....you should be able to run it from your SD card just fine.
Much appreciated, roman, I had figured it would be something like that. Glad to be rid of WMP too.
Clarifying question: How do I play the files through TCPMP? Ive tried from the file itself in file manager and it tries to launch WMP. I dont see a "file > open" type pathway within TCPMP itself.
What am I missing there?
add the file to it's playlist

There is actually a open tab thing in TCPMP, on the botton control bar in the player, click on the first tab from the left and in there there is the open option. And if you want the files to automatically open with TCPMP when you acces them from the file explorer etc. then you go to the TCPMP sttings and then to file associations. IN there select the files that you want to be asociated with TCPMP, and i think after a soft reset, they will automatically be opened with TCPMP.

Transformers.exe as movie browser?

Hello all,
I was curious about the possibility of editing the windows/Transformers.exe to allow you to place other movies into the sd/transformers folder and update the exe allowing you to utilize it as a movie browser/selector. I placed some other movies into the folder and renamed it "movies" however I do not know how to edit the .exe to recognize them or even if this is possible.
I would be curious if this is possible as it would allow you to place shortcut on program grid in Sense for faster/easier browsing of movies.
Does anyone know of any way to place link to a folder into grid. If this were possible the issue would be mute.
Thanks for any input regarding this!
Transformers doesn't have a separate movie browser. It uses the HTC vid app. Its just the way the movies were formatted that make them look so good.

Looks like you didn't really read the OP, I think he's asking if there's a way to add movies to the list that you see after launching Transformers.exe

I think it may be possible depending on much of the assembly is hackable

My bad... Reading is fundamental! I'm going to assume there has to be a regedit that points to the transformers movies.
I know this is a lame answer, but why not just put your movies in a folder and fire up file explorer?

Sense style file explorer would look like that, that's why.
Okay, okay. Resco 2010 can be themed to look (and act) a heck of a lot like sense, and it supports thumbnail previews and all sorts of rich media browsing experiences. And it's just a file browser, too.

Thanks for the input. Maybe I will give that a try. I suppose a better solution would be the ability to link to folders thru Sense interface rather than having to open a file explorer type prog.
For now I suppose a folder in the start menu will have to do. Thanks again!
I will try encoding a video file to the same specs as the Transformer movies and put it in the folder. Although I have noticed and mp4 file will use that video player to view the file.

How can we find out the specs for the pre-loaded Transformers movies? And what do you recommend we use to convert movies we may have on our PC's?
connect you phone to your comp as a disk drive. then go to the transformer folder and right click on either file and click properties
Interesting Question
I could be completely reading into this wrong, but let me throw my two cents in.
My buddy and I were discussing how we loved watching the Transformer's movie, especially because you can use the seek function without leaving full-screen mode. If you use windows media player, when you tap the screen in fullscreen mode it immediately reverts back to windowed format.
Someone else had already mentioned above how the transformers.exe uses the HTC video player. However, if you open a program in File Explorer it uses Windows Media player. Basically, I wanted to be able to use the HTC video player for all my videos.
Thankfully this is possible to do, it is just annoying. Here is how you can watch videos using the HTC player:
1) Start Menu > Albums
2) Tap on "Albums" at the bottom left-hand corner (softkey)
3) Under Storage Card or My Device, tap on My Videos (or the name of the folder where you have your videos)
4) Tap on video
By doing this, you can utilize the awesome HTC video player!
I hope this helps with what you were trying to do.
Yeah, I tried the same thing as going through the file explorer isnt one click access (unless you always leave it in the Movies folder). Here's one alternative, but the GUI needs a little work http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=520604. It would be cool if someone picked up this project and improved it just a little. But, it works at least though.
that program would be awesome if it's polished up.
Yea, I was kind of wanting to encode the movies to avi to save space. I didnt know how to get the shortcuts to link up with the other movies instead, so I havent done it yet.

i removed transformers from my sd card and onto my computer in an effort to conserve space.. but now i realize that i'm not gonna use all the space.. so i decided to put the movies back on sd card.. the only issue is that now my transformers shortcut.. doesn't work.. it gets to the page where i have to click either transformers 1 or transformers 2.. then when i select one of them.. it states that the media cannot be found..
so yea.. i was wondering if anyone can assist me in making that shortcut work again... i'm assuming that i have to direct a file using a registry editor.. or something... i think something along those lines.. i can't imagine this being really all that hard.. so please someone help me out and kinda guide me through it.. any suggestions?>

[Q} Ahem...No way to transfer my MKV files over USB???

Yeah...I tried to transfer my MKV files to my nexus 7 which is 100% stock and every time I drag and drop the MKV files over (Doesn't matter if I drag and drop 1 or 50) Windows explorer crashes. Anyone found a way to fix it from doing this...?
Is it over 4gb? I believe it's formatted as FAT32 and 4gb is the max file transfer.

No...they are all under 100 megabytes.
I should also note that I have to use MTP..because UMS isn't supported. But even if I try to sync them via windows media player it fails all the time.
Have you transferred other file types? This is most likely a stupid suggestion but maybe try renaming them first? Maybe it's something with the mkv extension or an illegal character in the file names. As I said, dumb suggestion, but once in a while those are the ones that work.
technically, it shouldn't be a problem. Did you checked whether JB supports MKV files? Or did you tried to transfer another type of file this big?
Try to upload a single MKV to Google Drive and download it to N7 and then play. If it works, then transferring should not be a problem.

I have it hosted on my local apache web server and I just browse to the webpage and tap on it and it loads right up and plays in MX player...However no matter what I do I CANNOT transfer the files to the nexus 7...
I just tried it out, copying a 720P MKV file from Windows 7 to the Nexus 7 over MTP. Worked fine for me.
Well no matter what I did it wouldn't work...I ended up putting the files in a .tar file and copying them over and extracting the archive...it worked then but its a HUGE pain in the ass.

Found a workaround:
Change Usb settings to PTP
1. Menu>Settings>Storage>Menu>USB Computer Settings
2. Tick Camera(PTP)
3. Transfer to Pictures folder
4. Using a file explorer of your choice on the device, transfer to final destination folder

I've successfully streamed mkv files to my N7 with Dropbox and using a local server and ES File Explorer. Haven't yet needed to transfer onto the limited flash of the N7 but I am sure that will happen for my next business trip so I will try it tonight to see if I have any issues with large files and smaller files.
I can't get mine to transfer. Even tried the picture folder trick. Of course I have the .wmv digital copies of movies I'd like to transfer. Going to try and convert them to mkv at least.
Aside from dropbox, would google drive work as well for streaming?
Very odd. I get a prompt saying my device might not be able to play the file but do I want to copy anyway. I just click the "do this for all" and say yes. You on Win 7?

I have both the Galaxy Nexus and Nexus 7 and have the same problem from my Windows 7 Home machine, but at work my Windows 7 Premium machine copies MKV files without a problem - on my home machine it crashes Windows Explorer every time...
There are several ways I've found to copy the files without converting them to MP4/AVI files first:
Dropbox, Google Drive, AirDroid - all of them treat the file as a "captured video", but at least AirDroid doesn't NEED Internet access, while the other 2 do
I'm not sure if it's a driver problem within Windows, but if I find any further methods I'll post here...

Do your PC has Dixv Plus codec installed? If so, uninstall it will fix the problem.
There is another thing that cause window explore crash, some of the mkv files don't have header compression removed when muxing.
Using Windows 7 Home Premium x64 on a laptop, no problems copying MKV files to a rooted Nexus 7 16GB running JB via USB. Even used ES File Explorer to copy, wirelessly, an MKV video file from the laptop to the Nexus 7. The video file (created with Handbrake from a ripped DVD) was 1.05GB. Screen captures of both the copying from Windows 7 and the file shown on the Nexus 7 attached.

Mine has a pop up, but there's no "copy anyway" option. Just "cancel" or "ok". Hitting okay just accepts the rejection message, it doesn't keep transfer.
It is Windows Home version though, so like the other post, this may be the issue.
My tablet isn't rooted yet either.

[Q] best app to play mkv x264 video files with ac3 audio?

I searched through several threads on the forum and after much frustration haven't found a solution to my problem yet.
I have a Nexus Player and connected a USB thumbdrive to play media from it. The videos are x.264 w/AC3 audio. I also have a 7.2 Onkyo A/V Receiver that can do all the audio processing.
On my Nexus 10 I can play these media files with MX Player, but when I try to use the same program on the Nexus Player it says "AC3 audio not supported"
How can I just pass the audio directly to the A/V receiver? Or do I need to use another media player software? I'm open to suggestions. NOTE: I do not want to transcode any files, or stream them. I want to be able to play them locally from the usb thumbstick.

how to find usb device from filesystem?
Sweet thanks! after sideloading Kodi I can get the video file to play if I launch it from ES File explorer. However, I don't know where to find the usb drive in the filesystem to mount the directory in Kodi itself for easy access. I looked all over but I must have missed something. Shouldn't it be under /mnt? When I try to look at the file path when the video is running within kodi it shows http://127.0.0.1:59777/usb/UsbStorage ...

Sweet thanks! after sideloading Kodi I can get the video file to play if I launch it from ES File explorer. However, I don't know where to find the usb drive in the filesystem to mount the directory in Kodi itself for easy access. I looked all over but I must have missed something. Shouldn't it be under /mnt? When I try to look at the file path when the video is running within kodi it shows http://127.0.0.1:59777/usb/UsbStorage ...

Not sure about the NP but on my Nexus 6 I get usbstorage0 under the regular sdcard folder.

External storage - usbStorage - sdb1 -
path to usb drive
I appreciate your help. When you get a moment please let me know the path to the usb thumbdrive. I still can't find it from the root filesystem.

frustrated with usb file path
I guess I should have refreshed my screen. you replied about an hour ago. thanks for that! I was about to kick myself for missing that but actually I do not have a usbStorage directory or sdb1 anywhere to be seen. Do i need to mount it somehow other than just plugging it in? When I go to External Storage it just shows the contents of sdcard if i'm not mistaken. Under storage it only shows emulated and sdcard0.

Are you using Stickmount?
Sorry, should be :
/storage/emulated/0/usbStorage
