WMC - Windows 8 General

What advantage would I gain having it does it just do tv support or can I do more with my bluray burner I've never used it.

WMC doesnt have native blu ray support..... still!
third party add ons can give it to it tho like arcsofts media player
if you sort out the codecs (use sharks codecpack) it will let youplay any ripped films you have, avi, mp4, mkv etc

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.

Some questions about DLNA

Hi guys, I have some questions about DLNA on GalaxyS.
I have the device that you can find in my signature.
I use the DLNA withTv-out to see films on my 37'' FullHd Tv, but I noticed some problems, hope that you can help me to solve them.
The player does not open MKV files.
The player does not keep the aspect ratio of the films. 16:9 videos have no problems, but the 2.39.1 (2.40) movies are distorted
If these problems can't be solved with the standard player (there aren't aspect ratio options, instead the classic video player of the SGS) there are better players that can replace the standard one?
Thanks
I think these are the very annoying limitations of dlna. You have to use avi afaik, i'm not sure about mp4 though.

Uhm, i don't understand what is "avi afaik". Should i convert the mkv films?
afaik - as far as I know
avi is container for audio video, like mkv

Aaaah sorry
DLNA supports all kind of codecs under avi (divx, mpeg4, etc) but not MKV.
I think that there is no solution about this problem

Actually I think it is a limitation of the tv set. Because the other day I went to bestbuy infront of the television section. Fired up dlna and found tons of tv sets there to use it with.
Long story short I had a 720 mkv video of tottenham vs real madrid and was able to play it on a LG tv. As a matter of fact everything was able to play on the lg tv. But on samsung only avi's was allowed to play video.

Quickest Way To Change xVid avi to mp4??

Hi, I'm looking for a way to change my xVid avi's into mp4 for transformer without all the re-encoding nonsense that takes hours and hours.
I could always use mobo player etc but would rather have HW accelerated playback using native format for transformer.
Mkv are easy enough to sort with gotsent, only takes a few mins. Any help is appreciated, thanks.

The container is wrong, but xvid is already mp4 video. After all you just need to remux, just like you do with mkv.
However I'm not sure how to. Probably mp4 box should do it...

Mp4/m4v videos on android?

Is there a way to play mp4 and m4v videos on android? If so how?
Sent from my SCH-I500 using xda premium
if the file doesn't play natively, you can always convert them using a program like handbrake.
Mx video player
Mx player works great for the videos ive ripped. What can I use to play or remove the drm from videos i've d/l from itunes?
Sent from my SCH-I500 using xda premium
There is no hack for drm (not to mention that to post one here or anywhere else would be highly illegal). My only suggestion is to sign up for Netflix and play your Apple videos on an iPod Touch.
