Best Youtube Program?

Hello. I was wondeirng if anyone can recommend a good youtube program besides youtubeplay? youtubeplay is ok, but It doesnt let you list by date or relivance or whatever. Also, is there any program that plays or downloads veoh.com videos? Thanks

The best way to play ANY streaming media site on a win mo smartphone imho, is the skyfire webbrowser:
http://www.skyfire.com
use phelps8 to get an instant download.
Any streaming media site I've used works awesome with skyfire. Takes some getting used to. check the forums for details. But sites like hulu.com work AWESOME with it for watching full episodes or movies..
mycast.orb.com when set to stream in flash will open right in the browser too which is incredible for streaming off a home PC...
break.com,youtube.com,stupidvideos.com etc etc all work great.

I use CorePlayer and it works great

Skyfire works awsome!! feels like im on a PC viewing the many video streaming sites..only one that doesnt seem to work is veoh..doesnt load the videos

YouTubeplay

CorePlayer has a YouTube quick-button, with several quick choices, like "Most popular" and "most linked to." But beware: The program can hang your 6800 if you go full-screen, requiring a soft-reset.
I've read great things about the new multimedia player with the Japanese-sounding name (K-something?); can't think of it now. It was designed for rich Web content from the ground up.

Kinoma ?

Kinoma
That's it: Kinoma.
Thanks to this thread, I installed YouTubePlay. It works flawlessly; rotation and full-screen toggling cause no freezes. I'll still use CorePlayer for music. Mostly, I watch downloaded TV shows. For that, I prefer Windows Media Player because I've installed a plug-in that lets it remember where I left off...just as my Audible Player does for books I've bought at Audible.com.

I think it operates better in full screen mode as well.

youtubeplay plays the lower quality youtube streams, that's why it works "good". The quality is poor.

Really? I will check again but I think I like the video better there vs skyfire, that is if that is what you are comparing it to. I will check again and report back.

since skyfire is a proxy/transcode browser it might be lowering the quality of the video
i use kinoma, for orb though since i dont care much for youtube, although ive used it to shut iphone fanboys up a time or two

well, if you watching it on your phone's bandwidth, you might not want to wait for a high quality file to stream over evdo, or use the extra data if you don't have an unlimited plan.
Skyfire plays embedded flash videos pretty well, but its at around 15 frames per second, so its not as smooth as watching it at home, or downloading it first.
TCPMP with the flashVideoBundle.cab installed works well with pocket IE and will give you the option of downloading the video to your phone (so you can watch it later), or streaming it right on the spot (after a short buffer), which works pretty well.

anyone got the latest cab for skyfire?

[TUT]The Definitive Video Playback Thread

Make sure to read the Wiki on Video Playback basics (credit to Chris Cross) here.
EDIT: My final conclusion on video issue here.
OK everyone, we've takin' it to another level. Follow this thread for the real HD experience.
Video playback on Blackstone (as well as on other Mobile devices in general) depends pretty much on many factors:
1. Video Format and Container
2. Video Bitrate
3. Audio Bitrate
4. Combined (general file) Bitrate
5. Video size
6. Processor speed
7. Video acceleration
8. Device/Internal/SD Card Storage speed
Doing some thinking about each of the points above will take you to a conclusion which will give most of you the answer as to why Blackstone (or any other Mobile device) will not - by far - play back video files that your PC or Notebook can (Hint: think about Processor, RAM and Disk Access) and as to why is conversion needed.
We can't really do pretty much with the Processor speed and Video acceleration (well, we aren't talking about overclocking here and we aren't referring to the so much discussed driver issue either), but can tweak Video Format and Container, Video/Audio/Combined Bitrate and Device/Internal/SD Card Storage speed.
1. Video Format and Container
This section refers to what type of video file is generated via conversion (Hint: AVI, MPG, 3GP, etc.) and what codec is used inside that file (Divx, Xvid, FLV, etc.).
Here's a small hint to let you see the differences between these.

}
* Benchmark has been done on the same file, converted at same audio and video bitrate, but save to different formats and container. Coreplayer was used for both Benchmark and Playback. SUPER video converter, which is a free and fantastic all in one video conversion solution, was used to convert video files.
We obviously see that AVI format/container with FLV codec is a winner here. We also notice the difference in playback as to SD Card playback is generally slower than Internal Storage playback (we will discuss this at point 7.)
2, 3 and 4. Video/Audio/Combined (general) Bitrate
As you can see in the same chart, playing with the Bitrate offers different results. That is, lowering the bitrate will get you higher benchmark results simply because the amount of data that needs to be processed is less.
5. Video Size
Video size refers to the dimensions of the video canvas, the resolution if you want. Lowering the resolution will also give you better benchmark results. The explanation is the same, the amount of data that needs to be processed is less.
6. Processor speed
Not discussed
7. Video acceleration
Not discussed
8. Device/Internal/SD Card Storage Speed
Fire up your favorite system benchmark application (i.e.: SKTools) and run a benchmark on Device Storage and one on SD Card. You will obviously see that Device Storage is way faster (like more than 3 times faster) than SD Storage. "What the...? I have a Class 6 SDHC Card?" Yes you do! There are also Operating System drivers for that. The thing is, the Operating System is not configured properly to take advantage of that.
Solution: Download my attached cab, install to Device, Soft Reset, run your benchmark again! What do you see?
CONCLUSION:
Taking all these into consideration, after alot of cigarettes and beer spent in front of the PC and my Blackstone, I've came up that the perfect solution for video playback on Blackstone (probably other devices too) is: FLV format in AVI container at 560x304 resolution, encoded at 1200 kbps video and 128 kbps audio. That generates a Combined Bitrate of 1328 kbps. You can probably go even higher, as to 1500 kbps video and keep 128 kbps audio, having a General Bitrate of 1628 kbps. Should be no problem after my SD TuneUp cab, but I personally consider such high video bitrates a waste of space.
I found that going beyond 1200 kbps video has no impact on quality, 1200 kbps reached maximum, but this may depend on your file and your needs.
So, short story:
Code:
FLV @ 560x304 pix. @ 1200 kbps video & 128 kbps audio
You can play a little bit with resolution and bitrate, but keep it around there.
Having installed my SD TuneUp cab and using the settings I recommend, you will get fantastic video playback experience on Blackstone in any Media Player (yes, classic Windwso Media Player and HTC Album too).
I upped a converted HDTV trailer here (scores around 120%) and another one here. Go play!
EDIT: My final conclusion on video issue here.

When I'm more awake (or maybe just a tad more experienced in these things!), I'm sure that will actually make a lot of sense!
(please note - this is down to my lack of understanding, not the way you're explained it!)
Many thanks!

Sounds good but I am allready playing Avi, dix, xvid kinda movies straight from torrent sites, I just download the 700mb divx files which are: 564x308 25fps mpeg-4 video they gave me a benchmark of 102.59%
For me its perfect no more converting or anything.
But keep up the good work, I appreciate it a lot !

Well, my post referrs to HD files, which are either HD720 or HD1080.
The downloaded files already are converted, so no need for that, Blackstone plays them back just fine!
P.S.: Watch for piracy issues! There are copyrights!

I mean kitesurfing videos and other sport videos
The following video I can play at the HTC HD alsmost fine.

Good enough to watch, maybe you can give it a try.
A benchmark of only 63.15%

installed but what next?
I installed the tuneup cab on my touch hd and cant see it in program files to activate it or tweak stuff. Am I missing something. Thanks.

Can't access that so no opinion from my side for now.

Great work !
I played the movie Ice Age 1 656x352 25fps. And the HD couldn't do it. Now after your .Cab it seems to work perfectly !
I think your theory about the slow SD is true !
Nice work, thanks !

Hi! First of all, thanks for the tip!
Second, will the encoding make the files larger, or smaller?

The sample I upped was initially 110MB, after conversion, you can see from the link at post #1, is approx. 10-11MB.

So is your tweak a general tune up for any data moving from (to?) SD card or is it only a video tweak?
Great first post incidentally - good science and good writing!

SD TuneUp is a general SDHC tuner, it has to do with general SD card data access.
Thanks!

Thanks (in advance) TNYYNT !
Though I'm not too clear how to install the cab file. But I'll get to that bridge when I actually get my Touch HD (hopefully next week! )

Just download the file to your device, launch it from File Explorer, install it to Device and soft reset.

Just wanted to say thanks for the solution, just tried it with a few HD movies I had, end result is fantastic.
What audio codec would you suggest? Does it matter? I went with mp3 and strangle ended up with reduced volume.

tnyynt; Big thanks for the great topicstart and the speedup cab!
I just benchmarked a moviefile before installing the cab; 97.53% speed, after installing the cab(and softresetting afterwards); 97.58%... Maybe the file was already read fast enough before benchmarking.
The FLV encoding looks like the best option now, thanks for posting the benchmarks, this really makes clear which format we need to use if we want to encode a file.

What does the tuneup cab actually do? Is it a cache optimisation or something else?

[HOWTO] Convert videos for Samsung Galaxy S using Handbreak.

Team,
Thought I would throw this out here so people don't have to hunt it down.
Standard DVD:
The Samsung Galaxy S has a big, beautiful screen that just begs for some quality video to show off. But what is the best way for you to convert your favorite videos and transfer them to your Galaxy S? In this guide, we show you what software you need to convert videos for viewing on the Galaxy S, and we also show you how to get your newly converted videos onto your handset.
Requirements:
1. Installed copy of Handbrake software from here http://handbrake.fr/downloads.php
2. Video files and or DVD of your choice
3. Samsung Galaxy S with microUSB cable​
Step I: Launch the Handbrake application on your computer and select the video source
{

"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
1. Launch Handbrake (figure 1)
2. In the menu on the right-hand side, select the iPod Legacy preset (figure 1)
3. Select your video source by clicking on the Source dropdown menu (we used a DVD for our testing purposes)
4. Select the destination and name for the file once it has been converted (both the .mp4 and .m4v extension work for the Galaxy S)
5. Confirm that the container is set to MP4 File and that Large file size, Web optimized, and iPod 5G support are unchecked​
Step II: Adjust Handbrake's Video Settings
Picture Tab:
1. Uncheck Keep Aspect Ratio
2. Set the Galaxy Sd Width and Height (the Galaxy S supports a maximum of 800 x 480 pixels)​Video Tab:
(click to enlarge)
1. Set Handbrake's encoding settings by clicking on the Video tab (figure 2)
2. Confirm the Video Codec is set as H.264 (x264)
3. Framerate (FPS) should be set to Same as source
4. Under Quality, select the Avg Bitrate (kbps) and change it to 1500​
Step III: Adjust audio settings
(click to enlarge)
1. Set Handbrake's audio settings by clicking on the Audio tab (figure 3)
2. Confirm the Audio Codec is AAC (faac)
3. Mixdown should be set to Stereo.
4. Change the Samplerate to 48
5. Change the Bitrate to 160​
Step IV: Save as a preset for future use
1. Click on the Presets menu and select New Preset
2. Enter Galaxy S in the dialog box and click Add
3. "Galaxy S" will now be saved as a preset and listed on the right hand side in Handbrake to be used in the future​Step V: Convert the video and copy to your Galaxy S
1. Click on the Start button in Handbrake
2. A command line/DOS window will open and start to process the video conversion
3. Once the conversion is done, mount your Galaxy S on to your computer via USB (figure 4)
4. Once mounted, create a folder named Video in the root folder on the Galaxy S
5. Copy converted file into the Video folder​
That's it! The converted video can now be played on your Galaxy S using the Gallery app. It should look fantastic on the Galaxy S's screen as long as the original source was of good quality.
A few things to keep in mind when converting video:
1. The Galaxy S does not like video file sizes over 2GB (the settings in Step II should help insure that the file size is kept under 2GB)
2. Your converted video will only be as good as the source video
3. If your source is over 800 x 480, you must be sure to set the width and height to a maximum of 800 x 480 as noted in Step II​

Thanks OP. Great instructions....

I just have to say, you don't need to limit the dimensions to 800x480, the phone will play 1280x720 (720p) videos just fine.

I'm changing my stance. This post is not to convert to HD. It will depend on your source your using. You can't just take a DVD and use Handbreak to convert video to 720p your source will have to support that. That will be another topic.

TGA_Gunnman said:
Good point, I will try that out and see how it performs. Let me know if anyone tries it before me and i'll update the resolution setting in the post.
If anyone wants to try 5.1 audio in their settings let us know your results.

So, in keeping balance between (1) quality and (2) file size, what is the benefit of coding in 720p when the max screen res is lower? For TV out? And if that's the case, can the tv out cable even handle above 480p? I definitely want to have the best quality possible, but I don't want to have needlessly large files taking up space, bc ultimately I'd like to have a decent size library of media.
Input would be appreciated. I'm relatively inexperienced in the ways of the videophile.
EDIT: I guess maybe 720p would work over DLNA? That might be worth it if pushing to xbox 360 works as people have claimed. Can't wait to get mine on Wed and try!

Under the video tab, I Uncheck keep aspect ratio, but I can't set it higher than the original aspect ratio of the file. So it won't let me set it to 800X480. Any ideas?

You can experiment on 5.1 and 720p if you want.

If you use 720p source you can choose classic ipod and crank your settings to create great looking HD videos that run good on the Galaxy S

Even on a lower resolution screen, a higher-resolution video file is going to look better. Actually, I take that back, it's more about the bit rate than the resolution. A 1280x720 video encoded with a low bit rate isn't going to look as good as a high bit-rate 800x480 video.
Encoding at 720p generally uses higher bit rates anyway, around 3-5Mb/s for 720P and 10-13Mb/s for 1080p using H/X.264 to encode. Some MPEG streams can be as high as 30+Mb/s! It looks like the OP is encoding about half-HD bitrates (1.5Mb/s) - that outta be fine on the Vibrant's screen, though personally, I'd encode to 2-2.5Mb/s.

good info. i'm gonna play around with a few bit rates and resolutions then and see what the difference is in file size and how much difference my eye can pick up and go from there. getting my vibrant tomorrow so i'll probably post back with some results in a few days.

..................................yup

It seems that most of my DVDs are protected and my files come out all pixelated.
Does anyone know a good way around this?

For some reason when I encode full length movies this method does not work.
I've converted multiple music videos using these settings, and they look AMAZING.
However, when I try to encode a movie from a 720p source the movie only shows a black screen with no sound on my Vibrant. The counter counts, the slider moves, but there is no picture or audio...

I have been encoding my files into an MKV container but used the target size to be under 2 gigs...The file does not play. Is the bit rate limit on the vibrant 1.5 mbps? What is the best bit rate to keep for a dvd conversion that will play on the Vibrant? I wouldn't mind doing this for playback on the PS3 as well. BTW I prefer mkv over mp4 container for obvious reasons.
PS
The method works but Don't like Mp4 container as it doesn't show the movie length on the file and it will not save the spot where I last viewed after exiting...
Any advised welcomed.

I've followed these instructions and yet when I convert a BR video the audio gets distorted (kind of a slow sounding distortion), the video shows up perfectly however. If I just put the file straight from my comp to the phone i still get great video but no sound. Anyone have any advice?

You need to rip the BR first to a file. Then convert it to use smaller space. I havn't used handbreak to rip BR just AnyDVD. This HOWTO is for standard DVD. I will work on a BR post later.

It is a BR rip. And that might best explain why I can add any of my DVD rips with no problem without having to convert but any BR rips I have problems.

Exporting 240FPS videos pre or post slow-mo selection

I've looked everywhere, both here and around the web, and haven't found any solid discussions about this, other than 1 short one on Reddit.
What is the current solution or progress on resolution for this?
I am trying to export a 240FPS slow-mo video I took on my Nexus 6P, with audio, and either completely normal throughout the entire video or with the selection of where I want it to be slow-mo. The most I've gotten was the ENTIRE video slow-mo, without audio.

I've been trying to find a solution to this as well. Seems to be a issue with the gallery software not exporting/saving the certain slow motion sections. Talked to Google but didn't get anywhere. Probably was talking to the wrong department. I can't seem to find the contact info for the camera app either.

Well I exported it also to Dropbox, but it was the full video in slow-mo, with sound.

I also tried that as well. No luck. Think we just need to find an alternative camera or gallery app that will save the slow motion parts.

google klite codec pack, and the video will play just as it does on your 6P with Windows Media Player. Sometimes codecs are missing, and Klite has just about everyone under the sun. I use the mega pack. Cheers.

I was able to export a video with selected slow mo segments @240fps. After shooting the video I went to photos.Google.com and downloaded the video from there. I didn't think it was possible but was surprised by the result.

So far only way this has worked for me is to export the video to google photos first. This is the only place that reads the selected slo-mo parts correctly. I read somewhere that uploading to youtube also works similarly but never checked so can't say that it works 100%.

Can I ask how you make only a specific part slow-mo on the phone?

after taking the video play it and you should see a slider bar with 2 triangles above. The triangles signify the start and end of the slow mo segment. You can drag both triangles to adjust the length and desired segment of the video.

Thanks for all of the responses guys!
I have a 7 second video, that I recorded in 240FPS, and whenever I try to export to Google Photos, 1) there isn't an option to export to Google Photos, considering I'm in Google Photos to begin with. and 2) If I try exporting to YouTube, the preview of the video, before I even upload, is 50 seconds long, and entirely in Slow Mo, with audio.
I slid both triangle sliders to one side so the video is entirely at normal speed, yet whenever, and where ever i try to export, it's entirely Slow Mo.
What am I doing wrong or should I do differently?

This isn't an option, as there aren't any other third party camera apps that have the quality, after taking the photo (exposure adjustment mostly), or more importantly, 120\240 FPS support.
I've tried using ProShot, but that app doesn't support 120\240 FPS.
And I don't know of any other gallery app other than Google Photos to use that'll allow post manipulation like Google Photos.

I'll try google photos out. Youtube only does all slow motion, I tried it in the past.

Hmm, that sucks. I'll keep looking and will update if I find anything that works for export.

Only 10 minutes per video capture?

Hello to everyone.
Yesterday s8 received to my hands. after first touch, restore my data and make properly charging i try to capture some photos and videos. And here is my question. I have 45gb free internal and 40gb in external sd and when start to capture video start to rec only for 10 minutes. video settings is fhd 1080p +60fps and i dont think that in this size can rec only 10 minutes. I have captured 5' 4k with less storage with s7 edge.
Any suggestions?

Did you try Full HD without 60fps?
I do know that 4k is limited to 10minutes each reacording. Full HD shouldn´t be limited - at least without 60fps

So, just try every set and mission accomplished. 4k and 1080p (60fps) have 10 minutes limiter. All others have no limit.
Thank you!

Are you serious? I don't remember it being that way on my S7. Isn't anyone a bit shocked that you can only record 10 minutes?

I'm offended...

I know if im on my iphone using imessage to another iphone i think its around 100mb could be more...Android/Google is lagging horribly in that department...they bragging on a mere 10mb with android message..smh

Why do they limit this to only 10 minutes? File size?

pretty sad

I agree that it sucks.

guys this is a tariff tax issue, if any phone or camera can record for longer than a set limit out of the box. taxes on the device would be much much higher! Im pretty sure you can download 3rd party apps to get around this. I will Check it out as soon as i receive my s8+ today

They've always had a 4K and 1080p 60fps limit - I had the limit on my S7/S7E and Note 7 as well.

The tariff limit was always 30 minutes (as the article you linked mentions.) I don't think it's changed. I wonder if it's a heat (battery?) or file system concern..
I'm not too concerned. Can't see much reason to take a single video longer than that.

Yea 99% of us would never need more than 10mins of recording anyway. Editing and what-not.
Yea i would assume that after recording in such high resolution, you would get at least some over-heating. even the most high end devices overheat

FYI. I can record over 10 minutes on my SD S8+. Are all the people with the 10min stop on Exynos?

I would have recorded longer, but when I went to take a gif screenshot it stops the recording :/

Yes I have an Exynos.

I have S7 which doesbt havr any limitations, however it has issues with splitting the file to 4GB files either recording to internal or exfat mSD card.
I have as well Note8, and Im so offended to be limited to 10min 4K! QHD doesnt have time limitation, but it also splits video to 4GB files.
There is no official statement from Samsung, except return the phone we will refund you.
Patetic!

OP 5 has a 10 Minutes Limit too.

I want to use dual video for longer files, up to 1.5 hrs. I don't care it it splits the files or if the quality is vga.

10 minute limit solved (mostly)
I found this problem on a Samsung S7 Active with Qualcomm CPU (AT&T branded phone). Samsung may have put a 10 minute limit on video for 2 potential reasons:
1. The phone gets very toasty if it's over 10 minutes at 4k.
2. 11m 30s seems to be the 4GB limit for 4k video, which may be a limiting file size for certain storage.
I solved this, but still have the limitation that every 11.5 minutes or so the video stops and starts again after a couple of seconds (because it's reached the 4GB storage limit).That's OK for my purposes, but might not work for you.
To get this working I first installed two apps:
1. Open Camera
2. No Screen Off
Open Camera is an open source camera app that can be downloaded free from the Google Play Store. It allows for 4k video recording for as long as you have storage (I had it recording for 3 hours without a problem).
You will need to do a couple of tweaks in the Open Camera app to get 4k video recording working:
* Settings | Video Settings | Video Resolution. Make sure it's HD 1280x720.
* Settings | Video Settings | Maximum Duration of Video. Make sure it's "unlimited".
* Settings | Video Settings | Restart on maximum file size. Set to "yes"
* Settings | Video Settings | Force 4K UHD video. Set to "yes" (this is the critical setting that worked for me on this device but may not work for you).
If you want to record to a storage card, go to Settings | More camera controls... | Use Storage Access Frameworks and turn it on. You should be able to use it to select the SD card folder to store photos and videos to.
That got me recording 4K video, but the screen times out which stops video recording. The max time I can set the screen to stay on for is 10 minutes (not much use!). So I used the "No Screen Off" app. Installing that and tapping the icon forces the screen to stay on indefinitely.
I've coupled this phone with a damaged screen ($37 from eBay), with a 64GB micro SD card and a power bank to provide power for 3 hours to make myself a cool 4K camera for recording concerts. I can afford to have several capturing different parts of the choir / orchestra to edit in post processing.
