[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.

Problem with default video player in khals and Dex's rom

Hi, there seems to be a major flaw in Dexter's and Khals Tom because somehow they can't play large mp4 or avi files. Small clips do play but when trying to play larger mp4 or avi files there is an error which says that "File cannot be played or displayed". Any suggestions?

Mobo Player used with soft-decoding. Download codecs if needed - available in the market. Works greate!

But what is wrong with the default video player?

Can you give me an idea (mb?) what "larger" is?

A 350 MB file doesn't play but One 2.5 MB file one does

I searched up this problem and found a lot of driod x users have it after upgrading to 2.2 and the cause of this build.prop. So does anyanyoneknows how to replace a defective build.prop with a working one.

Who cares for default player anyway. There are tones of free @ the market. Maybe next time Khal can build-in one instead of the stock one. Building-in ES Explorer was a great idea already.

I think the default player is better

I normally convert it to fit it into the Fat32 file size limit at about 3.8Gb, my collection usually comes from a 15-25gb source.

I have a TF101 my own and I used the same preset which use High Profile to try to convert the video for my SGSII, but I found that it wasn't playing with hard-decoding, even though the SGSII plays it smoothly, but I guess if I throw in something which can be hard-decoded, it would burn less battery, right? (right now without hard-decoding, it's burning 1% in around 2~3 mins)

Good media converter for galaxy tab 10.1

Hi guys,
Just wondering if anyone can recommend a free video converter to convert media (wmv, mov etc) to play on the Galaxy Tab 10.1.
Thanks

convert
I use Format Factory
converts to anything... you may want to ask which file format is best for the Tab... as I don't know.
I convert to 720x480 MP4... and it works well on mine... somebody on here may know a better size/setup
-shawn

You can also use vplayer. Plays everything without the need to convert anything.

EncodeHD is good if you want something simple. Just choose the XBox or PS3 profiles.

I like DVD Catalyst 4. It encodes according to the profile you select so you can choose the Tab 10.1 or the Nexus S or whatever other device you have.

Thanks for the suggestions. I did try Handbrake but it completely screwed up on the conversion.
I am trying Kies now (I didn't know Samsung had such a program available until last night) but if not, I might just use a player that plays everything. It makes the most sense.
Thanks again

I really enjoy using Plex as well running on my WHS. They have made some really great improvements in the last couple updates.
I use a DVD Catalyst if I need the files to be stored on my Tab and Plex to stream.

Modding the stock movie studio app.

Would it be possible for a dev to mod the movie studio app so that's it exports in higher quality audio? That damn app is so limited but the one thing I can't stand is the low audio quality of the exported videos.
