Hello all, I'd like to use my transformer for some movies and some training video. For the most part, moboplayer is great. WMV however is coming up with static-y audio and cuts in and out. Useless for audio part. I've switched it to softwae decoding already but no luck. Anyone knows of a player that can play wmv fine with audio? If not I guess I'll have to try and convert the videos.
What audio codec is used in the WMV's? I have a dozen or so WMV movies and they play fine in Mobo. You have downloads and installed the codec pack as well?
No need for mobo or other third party player, the google stock player is working very well with wmv, even in 720p.
Maybe this area has been covered before by using Handbrake, but I've found another useful utility XMedia Recode (google it, I am a n00b here so I can't post external link).
This tools already has a build-in A500 profile! But what I really want is to make sure the video stream intact and just convert the audio to AAC, since many of my mkv files are already in h264 format and there is no reason to waste time on re-encoding the video part and degrade the video quality. A500 plays those mkv videos fine but only without sound. This tool has a "video copy" option, this will bypass the video re-encoding part and just convert the audio channels. Converting a 1GB 720p MKV AC3 to AAC only takes less than a minute (limited by harddisk speed I think). A500 now can play the mkv smoothly.... and also with sound!!!!
I second this app. I have been using it for a while for Xbox playback and it works flawlessly.
So I says to Mable I says ...
I used this quickly the other day before flying, and it seemed to work really well. I used the method described above, using "copy video" and all. It seemed to work really well...at first. The video is fine and the audio plays, until it doesn't. What I mean is, the audio plays but then stops for no reason while the video continues. If I rewind and play the same part again the audio is fine this time, again until it stops.
This is the case for the like 4 different video players I've used. Do you think it's the file, or should I try even more video players? Thanks.
One easy to use solution is here

hehe，this is good.
i tried this app a few mins ago.audio is perfect,but the video which converted by"video copy" is still slowly or stoped sometimes .but this app is still worthy to try!
i recommend iDealshare VideoGo which can work as either a AC3 encoder or AC3 decoder.
Acting as an AC3 Decoder, it easily helps:
Convert AC3 audio to other audio formats like convert AC3 to WAV, convert AC3 to AAC, convert AC3 to AIFF, convert AC3 to FLAC, convert AC3 to M4A, MP3, WMA, OGG, AU, RA, MP2, DTS and etc.
Convert video with AC3 audio codec to video with other audio codec like AAC, MP3, MP2, DCA, PCM, WMA etc. You may choose to keep or change the output video format like convert MKV with AC3 to MP4 with AAC.
Convert video with AC3 audio to audio format like convert MKV with AC3 to MP3 audio.
Acting as an AC3 encoder, it easily helps:
Convert almost all popular audio formats to AC3 like convert DTS to AC3, convert FLAC to AC3, convert APE to AC3, convert to AC3 from Apple Lossless ALAC, AMR, QCP, CAF, VOC, VQF and etc.
Convert video with various audio codec to video with AC3 codec as well as keep or change the video format like convert MKV with FLAC codec to MKV with AC3 codec.
Change AC3 audio channel like from AC3 stereo to AC3 5.1/6 channel, from Dolby Digital 5.1 AC3 to Mono or Stereo AC3
I found Bigasoft Audio Converter on Google and gave it a try. It works well to convert ac3 to aac on my side. Try it!
I use Dice player on my A500 to play MKV files with AC3
play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.inisoft.mediaplayer.a
in my opinion, mkv in ac3 is better then aac, so why change it?

Same question
Faasoft's great "Audio Converter" is the best choice to convert ac3 to aac.
You may prefer to a step by step guide named "Faa AC3 Converter - How to Convert AC3 to AAC, MP3, WAV, FLAC, WMA, M4A, AIFF, ALAC, etc on Mac and Windows?" which inform us how to convert AC3 files to MP3, AAC, M4A, WMA, FLAC, etc.
Hope it will help you more or less.
I found Dice player was able to playback AC3 encoded videos more recently you needed to install an open source codec as they were no allowed to bundle it.
Hey Guys,
My Samsung Galaxy s2 Stock Media Player dosent play ac3 Audi files or Mp4 FIles with Ac3 audio decoded. I was able to play those using Dice player or rockplayer.
The official Samsung Site or other specification says this (This is from wikipedia)
For audio it supports (FLAC, WAV, Vorbis, MP3, AAC, AAC+, eAAC+, WMA, AMR-NB, AMR-WB, MID, AC3, XMF). For video formats and codecs it supports (MPEG-4, H.264, H.263, DivX HD/XviD, VC-1) and video formats (3GP (MPEG-4), WMV (ASF) as well as AVI (DivX)).
Issues:
1. Stock Media Player dosent play ac3 Audi files or Mp4 FIles with Ac3 audio decoded (Stock Media Player gives the Option 5.1 to be enabled but ac3 not playing)
2. Other players play it Under software decoding, But main Problem is 5.1 isn't working with Head phones
I googled and found some Users were able to Play it with stock media Players. Read something like "I dont have any problem playing those files, I just copy and play them"
I am now confused is this happeneing with my device alone, So guys how do you dea this?
Please reply so that i would be grateful to you guys
Regards,
Magnanimousdude.
Samsung Galaxy S2
thought this forum is good and people would quickly give suggessions on what was the issue, But after 79 views also i didnt get any reply... atleast there wasn't 10 samsung galaxy s2 owners who saw this post??? Pathetic for me
Probably due to nobody having the answer who has read your post .
Reading your second post i would be disinclined to reply anyway .

Since a bought the MHL adapter 2.0 (11 pins) from Samsung I have been trying to replace my WD TV mediaplayer by playing movies through the phone instead but every 1080p mkv file I try to play is choppy.
Players I have used are:
VLC player Beta
Diceplayer
BSplayer
Archos Player Pro
MXplayer
MoboPlayer Pro
None seems to work, my reference mkv file is:
"Escape.Plan.2013.1080p.BluRay.DTS-HD.MA.7.1.x264"
Size: 11.9 GB
Video: 1920x800
Bitrate: 9497 kbps (x264 [email protected])
Audio: English DTS-HD MA 7.1 Ch 5046 kbps
Thanks in advance!
From my experience DTS files have problems with playback as they are a proprietary codec. Try to find a 1080p version with AC3 audio.
Also, did you download the extra codecs on mx player?

I dled a mkv with ac-3. It lagged on BSplayer but not on Archors so I will stick with that for now. Just going to take time to replace all those with DTS
Thanks for the help.
You should download mx player codecs. Just go in the options menu within mx player and there should be an option to download them directly to the device. Once you download the codecs even dts should work

The default video player cannot play DTS or AC3 audio which is annoying... Only video HD player on playstore seems to work... is it possible to install the ac3 and DTS codec so that all players can play them? The problem is I want to play some 3d movies with google cardboard and these players do not play the audio
