If you google it, you'll find several issues of this kind on previous devices. Seems it's like that on the Note 3, still.
After editing a video, using Samsung Video Editor, the export simply fails with "Export Failed" message.
I have a video with 3 transition (from a camera photo), a video and a .mp3 sound. Not really fancy.
Has anyone found a solution?
I find it so unbelievable that there's nothing on Android that can do what VirtualDub on Windows could do 15 years ago. If you can suggest a better, thorough, portable video app, please do. All I found (Magisto, Vidtrim, WeVideo) is basically crap that leaves no freedom to the user. I read on iOS you have Pinnacle Studio. Looks like Android has always to wait for the best apps. :-/

I just got an Advantage x7510, and am absolutely thrilled to bits with it - beautiful screen, something you can do something with, like the Psions of old!!!
I would like to watch some DVD's on it, but being completely new to ripping etc. don't know what format to rip to, what size and so on. I tried to rip a 30 minute DVD to .wmv, but was appalled at the slowness thru the native Windows Media app. Someone suggested I get Coreplayer, which is better, but I think I need a steer on how to do the ripping for the best. What would show best, with best lip-sync and fewest dropped frames, and acceptable quality?
Can someone point me in the right direction? Your help would be much appreciated.
thanks

AVI is the best with Smart Movie
I tested almost media softwares for video in my X7501, and i found sth here.
BAD video players:
- Core player
- Windows media player (worst)
- TCPMP
And all of them got the same issue: flash screen and not smooth.
Then I try Smart Movie, WOW, i can watch movie in my X7501 as a champ.
And u only need software to convert to AVI file
DOESN't MAtter what size of the frame and file, it works perfectly.
( I watch Jackie Chan movie with the file is about 400mb, nothing wrong, so nice)
enjoy
thanks for the suggestion vqscorpions, I have just downloaded a trial.
One point straightaway is that I don't like the look of their licensing - it seems to be one licence per device, whereas I use several devices, not of course simultaneously, and like to load my software on to all of them, to use when I have that particular device with me.
However, if the software works, I may just have to swallow my pride and fork out for it.
thanks again for your time

i have the full file with license and also the converter for Smart movie.
if u like it, i will upload here
enjoy
PS: I just have Crystal softcase for Athena. cheer
Excellent. I'de like to give it a try.
I have found that nothing works, not Lonely Cats or anything else. the lip sync is awful, the video jerky and generally not a pleasant experience.
What I take from this is that Windows Mobile is basically not a video media friendly OS - works fine with audio, not with video. For that I think you need a dedicated laptop/gadget.

i really feel curious that yr x7510 can not work with it.
actually it has the same hardwares but may be it uses another OS.
however, which version of Smart movie u use? which converter software u use? and how about the settings for the file
(to be honest, the movie that i use usually is more than 300mb and Smart movie works well)
I have tried the most basic settings, but it depends on what you mean by acceptable. I expect decent image, good soound, no skips at all, and perfect lipsync. On no WM device can I get this, but if I am prepared to compromise, then I concede that the Touch HD can deliver nearly to my exacting standards.
My conclusion is that, if I really want video on the go, watch it on laptop - better/larger image, near perfect rendering. use the WM gadget for audio only.

I am just curious. It would be great to create and edit like the imovie app.
WeVideo?
I do regular web searches to see if anybody has developed a viable video editor / movie maker for android, and finally there's some hope.
Just came across this tonight - http://blog.wevideo.com/bid/272187/WeVideo-Launches-iMovie-Competitor-App-for-Android
It's a new app called WeVideo (just released, so it's still in BETA), and it's pitching itself as an iMovie-like editor for ANdroid, with some cloud-based features and other differences, but what's important as it appears to provide full "movie making" capabilities across various Android devices.
I just tried it out and it works well, with a few oversights like:
- No transition control
- No volume control for music tracks
- No local, uncompressed storage of published video (not that I've found anyhow)
Just for starters. But, if you don't mind using their simple theme, and don't want to include your own music, it works pretty well.
It's also nice that it supports publishing of your videos directly to YouTube, despite not exporting to sdcard etc.
I'll post this reply in a few other threads asking about better video editors for Android as well.

I've just downloaded AndroMedia. Seems pretty fully featured
I took a few videos this past weekend and would like to edit them but Adobe Premier only picks up the audio track and iMovie doesn't recognize the files at all. I've run a few searches and tried a few programs to no avail.
If any of you have run into this what did you use to edit your videos?
Sent from my Dirrk overclocked/lagfixed SCH-i500
For anyone struggling with the same issue, I made some headway. It turns out simply changing the file extension from .mp4 to .mpg will allow QuickTime to play the file (which normally it won't) and Adobe Premier to import it properly.
I have yet to find the right way to export it so it's playable on the SGS. I exported as H.264 and it only plays the audio. I'll most likely keep going at it tonight and see what I find out.
You could try to use GSpot to find what codecs are used, may help in figuring out what is needed to edit them.
I'll give that a shot, but I already found out how to play and edit them. It seems the file extension simply didn't match the encoding so Premiere and QuickTime were unsuccessfully trying to open it.
As for the encoding, according to OSX Leopard, it says it's AAC/H.264. I'll definitely take a look at gspot though and see what it tells me. Maybe I can re-encode the edited video using same method as the original video and it'll play on my Fascinate.
I've got an annoying problem that I don't know how to fix.
I have a script that uses handbrake to encode videos for me and spits them out as a .mp4 file. I used to view these from a local open web directory so I could stream them while I was in the bath or in the kitchen or having a dump or whenever I wasn't in front of my TV.
They work on my iPhone, iPod touch and on the various Android things I put on my HD2. How can it work on a flashed WinMo phone and not on a proper Android device?
What's frustrating is that they work when I transfer them over using Astro or downloading them in the browser. I assume it would work if I put them on a memory stick but all of these solutions take more time.
I was thinking I should root the Tab and put a custom Android on it, but is there anything else I can do without re-encoding a bunch of files?
What exactly is the problem? How are you trying to stream them?
I have an open web directory which is basically just a list of .mp4 files. I open the browser and point it to my site, 192.168.1.3/movies, and then click on whatever I want to watch.
Then usually it gives me an option of what app I want to play it in and I usually just pick the default video player.
This doesn't work on the Tab where it does on my other devices (Android and iOS).
So the problem is that its not giving you an option to pick which app to open the .mp4 with?
Maybe you dont have any other apps that can play the file?-
It does give me an option, it just refuses to play saying that the type is not supported. I've tried the built in video player, rockplayer, meridian. I've also tried it on a file manager like Astro.
The files just refuses to play like they do on my hacked HD2 and iPhone.
Are you trying to emulate this like the AllShare program? Cant seem to get this to work too on the network media
I don't know what AllShare is unfortunately. Did it work on a previous device?
Allshare is sammys DLNA client. Its pretty good for small folders on a LAN server. But it doesn't understand headers very well. Search is your friend.
Someone pointed me in the right direction on another board.
Another Forum said:
OK, figured it out. The problem is that most MPEG4/QuickTime muxers append a critical piece of metadata to the end of the file and it needs to be moved to the beginning to allow streaming/progressive downloading in the Android media player (it's not a Samsung-specific problem).
If you already have a bunch of non-streaming-compatible MP4 files, there's a tool that comes with ffmpeg called qt-faststart that rewrites them (without reencoding) in a compatible fashion.
Also, it looks like Handbrake 0.9.2 and up have an option for producing "Web optimized" MPEG-4 files, which if you enable should fix future videos.

Hey I took a couple 'smooth' videos during a bball game, problem is the phone fell over and 50% of it is darkness.
I'd like to edit the video but all the apps i see are saying the video is not supported, and the system editor won't cut such a large file. 2 - 3 gb.
anyone know a work around?

I'd suggest just moving the video files into your PC and do the rest there, but you're probably unable (as in you don't have access to a PC or etc) to do that if you're posting here.
well preferably i'd like it done on the phone, this is why i asked.
i guess there are no other options other than editing on pc...?
You could have a look at samsungs editor, don't know if it supports cutting.
