anyone watch a movie on the stock player??
I love the stock player since its got 5.1 surround. It makes a night and difference watching movies...even without headphones...I wish there was a way to implement that into other players such as mobo, vplayer, and rockplayer etc.
I'm sure with touchwiz UI their gonna really boost the multimedia aspect of this thing.
Can you post the specs (using something like MediaInfo) of the movie? My impression was that HC's stock player can't play 5.1 audio currently.
Will be trying it out on Sunday for my flight back East, looking forward to hearing it on my new Audio-Technica ATH M50's!

if you start to play any movie in the stock player there's a button on the bottom left that says 5.1 srs click it and you'll hear the difference. I was playing a divx version of a movie called "girl who kicked the hornet's nest"
here are the info directly from vlc player
codec: MPEG audio layer 1/2/3 (mpga)
Channels: Stereo
Sample rate: 48000 Hz
Bitrate: 128 kb/s
I don't believe this is completely stock player. Samsung is always about good media and always trying to implement 5.1 into everything. My brother's Samsung vibrant has the same features on his stock audio and video players provided by samsung. the phone only has one speaker so when you press that button on his phone it says this mode only works with headphones. But for the Galaxy tab 10.1 we've got two great speakers on the right and left perfect for 5.1. Although its not true 5.1 it makes a huge difference. I've tried it even on things I recorded with my galaxy tab 10.1. I think it's a software modification of some sort done by samsung to make it sound very realistic.
Give it a try...let me know what you guys think.

Its a Samsung future that you can chose to have the tab make mono/stereo audio sound like its sorround.
Its like fake 5.1 from stereo speakers
-Creates an accurate 5.1 virtual surround sound experience over any stereo headphones
-Utilizes SRS Circle Surround decoder to generate the highest quality surround sound - placing left, right, center, surround left and surround right speakers accurately around the listener's head
-SRS Dialog Clarity boosts the frequency range of the human voice in a way that lifts the dialog above the audio effects, so you can clearly hear every word that's being spoken
-Improves overall bass response of the headphones
-SRS WOW HDimproves the dynamic audio performance of both compressed and uncompressed audio, by expanding the size of the audio image
Yup. I hate how they confuse people with that "5.1" button when it's really "Fake5.1"

you have to admit that it sounds pretty realistic when you turn it on...no tablet can do that right now...the xooms speakers are horrible way in the back and sound is muffled...and only high end laptops are able to only replicate a 5.1 surround, I wouldn't complain unless you want them to put a sub-woofer in there and two more speakers lol....
Hey,
Last time i was looking for a solution to my problem with galaxy note contrast, but i found on internet other videos and i see all notes has this same problem with too low video contrast and too high brightness - videos and photos has no details, but I set contrast in VCL Player and here are the effects
i48.tinypic.com/307t8ab.png
I cannot send links, so i didn't attach thumbnail. New settings in video incerase video quality - on normal size videos effects are much more apparent than on this picture. So you can try at home
so, you didn't say how can we increase photos/video quality?
Directly on galaxy note it's not possible - you can improve video quality during watching video on computer/tv. In VLC Player click Tools->Effects and filters and adjust contrast and gamma. All videos from Galaxy note looks much better on this settings.

I bought myself a Note 3(N9005, 32GB version) few days ago, but since the beginning I have had a problem with recording 4K videos. To be exact, it doesn't record at the promised 45-50 mbps bitrate, instead it records at 10 mbps or even lesser bitrate. So my question would be, how can I fix that?
All the other featured modes are working flawlessly. Would really appreciate some help. The phone is not rooted or customized in any way.
Thanks in advance!

Did you set it up for 4k in settings
Yes, under the video resolution section I chose 3840x2160. Is there supposed to be some more options to improve the quality?

Do you have a 4k TV if not you won't see any difference between 4k then 1080p
^ um WRONG. And that has nothing to do with this topic

Downscaled 4K looks much better though, so there is a huge benefit in making 4K videos. Anyway it seems like those crappy units of Note 3-s made their way only to Estonia, since me and shizny are both from Estonia and there is no more information about that problem on the internet, atleast I couldn't find absolutely nothing on such weirdness.
Actually jaythenut is correct. Though the Note 3 is capable of recording video for playback on a 4K TV your device having only a 1080p display is not going to appear different at all.
The Note 3 plays back recorded 4K Video in 1080p on both the phone and any other playable media device as it can't process anything higher than that.
Your better off recording videos in 1080p at the now 60f/s.

no one is right.
quality of recorded videos playback is not the same as seen on youtube, by other peeps recordings.
check the quality, bitrate of 4K recorded video on my device is 6000kbps, 1080p is 15000kbps.
If you think a little logically then how come 4K recorded video is worse than 1080p? Even the playback quality is worse, not only on the device itself, but also on monitor.
Have you ever watched 1080p video on 720 display? Any difference? Video is crispy and detailed, Now how about 520p video on 1080p screen?
Now this is the same as my 4K recording on 1080p screen.
Either the device is faulty and cannot record/play 4K videos or sample videos made on youtube are actually 1080p.
This is really strange. I'm from Estonia as well and I'm facing the exact same problems. All my 4K videos look like 240p ones or even worse.
(Can't post the full YT links because of my postcount, but here's the v-codes)
watch?v=4iEt7lGGPqk- 4K sample
watch?v=4fryaJ6cfw4 - 1080p sample for comparison
I can't find anything on the internet regarding this subject, does anyone have any idea what the hell is going on? I sent an email to Samsung support about this as well.
the same problem here (lithuania), firmware N9005XXUBMJ1
Wait for while there will b some patches to fix it.all devices havr same problem
Same here. 4K recording quality (and, of course, bitrate) is awful. Videos looks like 240p.
Lithuania, baseband N9005XXUBMJ1.
EDIT: Ok, it seems that this is common issue with particular batch of this model (maybe it only affects the Baltic countries), and service centers are aware of this problem.
Left my phone for warranty repairs...

so it looks like well have to wait for a fix for this to work properly is that correct
Maybe this helps, but you need to be rooted. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ioD9DcKXNck&feature=youtube_gdata_player

Did the service center tell you what was the problem?
if anyone knows me from any other phone forums, you'd know I do a lot of guitar videos for youtube, and i typically like doing them with my phone. so i did them a lot until i got my G2 because the G2 was by far the worst video-camera i've ever used in a phone. i'm glad to have the note 4 again because the video quality of all of my Samsung phones has always been the best! here's a few videos I've done so far. the quality is great. the audio isn't as good as I hoped it would be, but that may be because i've got a TPU case on here that's somewhat covering the one mic hole, and in my guitar videos, only the bottom half of the phone was directly facing the guitar amp! so noise cancellation may have been kicking in hard. either way, post your videos!
all in 4k resolution, even though my computer can't even play 4k on youtube lol

For videos where the sound matters an external mic might be worthwhile checking out. Monoprice has what looks like a decent one for under $20 (and there are others out there as well.)

really? like a USB mic works with these? that's awesome. maybe I'll look into getting a good USB mic though.

No, just a headphone jack mic. I think there are USB to go mic's, but probably not in that price range.
Maybe it's just me, but I can't seem to watch videos in 4k, it doesn't gave me the option, the max that allows me to watch videos is 720p. Not even 1080p. How are you guys watching 4k videos on YouTube? What app are you using?

can't on the note or my galaxy tab s anymore. i think google broke 1440p in the latest youtube update.
HiFi audio recorded by Mate 9 four mics. YouTube says the video might not play in some regions due to copyright. Enjoy.
Have you got a link? Thanks

Is it as good as these ones from Nokia HAAC microphones (Pureview 808 and others)?
