If I were to rip a DVD or convert an incompatible HD video (for example misfits series 4.mkv doesn't run audio for some reason) to play on the n3, (for which I use Xilisoft and will continue to do so unless recommended better software) what would be the optimal format, settings, aspect ratio, etc etc to get a great video experience?
Thanks

I would firstly say, what media player have you tried the .mkv file with? MX Player has never failed me so far.
As for optimal format... the screen resolution is 1920 x 1080 however it's capable of 4k, so really depends on your source quality.
I'd probably say h264 full HD max settings if you have the storage space

Also remember a .mkv file is just a container file. Just cause 1 doesn't work, doesn't mean all won't.

Thanks, MX player didnt work - i temporarily downloaded it as I do any time a file wont work, same problem, no sound.
MX Player is usually pretty reliable except IF a certain .mkv is encoded @ a poor or badly wrote CRF - try another one and see, or just extract the .mp4 from the .mkv container and it'll play OK with MX -- Or try updating codecs for it?

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.
Sent from my T-Mobile Tab
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.

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.
I have used MoboPlayer, VPlayer, RockPlayer and they all stutter when I play avi videos.
Are there any recommendations on how to eliminate the stutter on these players or a different player that might be more effective?
Usually depends on the bitrate of the file. And also avi and mkv with less than 2gig plays nicely on rockplayer and moboplayer in my experience.

I was wondering if the Bravia engine works when using third-party videoplayer or picture viewer...
Use
1. ARCMEDIA
2. VITAL PLAYER
If you put the .avi files in DCIM maybe it will appear in the pictures app and you'll be able to read it with stock video player ? Maybe i'm totally wrong

arcMedia is by far the best media player I've came across of
Thanks will try arcplayer on the train tonight to see how it performs

DCIM is for everything recorded with the camera and has nothing to do with the gallery widget or the gallery itself, but the last h.264 mp4 i made for the Arc wasn't read by the stock player.
Arcmedia interface is a bit crap.. and there's no homescreen widget either.. wonder if there's a way of modding the stock media player to use more codecs?
hey
i was looking for a program to convert my videos so i can watch them optimally on the nexus 7
any suggestions?
thanks

I don't think you need to re-encode your videos. Personally, I just use MX player. It supports almost all video formats. You can download the app for free on the Play Store.
+1 for MX Player.
Can't say I've found a video it won't play tbh.

Bs player works better for me. Mx sometimes degrades picture quality.

+1 for MX player. So far plays anything I've thrown at it.
1080p Anime MXV files no problem.
Only files I have had problems with were ones that were poorly encoded.
Hi there guys,
I just downloaded this .mkv extension movie from the net. I want to view it on my Note 3. Do I need to convert the file? If yes, then why? I mean, what is the problem if I transfer the 2.2 Gb file to the memory of my phone as it is.
The bit rate is something around 3000kbps I think. Isn't that normal? Do I really need to convert it? And if I do will there be any loss in quality?
Thanks for the help guys.

This. You may want to use HardWare+ or SoftWare decoding since .mkv's will likely be slightly out of sync with regular HardWare decoding.
.MKV is nice compression, but tough on battery life :/ I get about 16 hours of video with HW decoding, 12 hours with HW+ and only 10 with SW.
