Anyone happen to know what the bitrate/settings are of the preloaded Avatar movie? I'm trying to convert my bluray 720p down to a 480x800 friendly size, but it keeps looking like crap. Or, it'll look great, but end up being about 3.5gbs. I played with a Vibrant at the T-Mobile store and the copy of Avatar was crystal clear.
I gave up and ordered a 16gb class 6 micro sd card. Problem solved!
Though, if anyone does happen to find out the details, I'd still love to know.

What are you using to encode? I personally use RipBot with a variable bitrate. I set the encoder to mp4/avc (h.264), res to 800x480,and the average bitrate to 1500. These videos have looked excellent for me and should be more than enough.

Awesome, I'll try it out. I'm using Any Video Converter free.
Xilisoft Video Converter has been good to me over the past two or three years. It converted from DVD to a format my iPhone would read. Now all the movies I buy mostly have a digital copy so I don't use the software as much any more. My Vibrant plays back everything (MP4/DivX/WMV/H.264/H.263)that plays on the iPhone so no need to convert either.

How did you put a digital copy on your phone? I bought cop out on blu ray and it came with a digital copy and I just drag it onto my sd card then i try to play it and it says there is a license error or something like that.

You can't use the digital that comes with it. Its meant for iDevices or Windows media devices. I just use Handbreak to convert my videos and use a custom preset with the resolution of the phone and an average bitrate of 1200 and its good.

I hope when you say resolution of the phone you mean 1280X720, because there is no reason to go any lower unless the original file was not HD.

When I say the resolution of the phone, I meant 480 x 800. Unless your gonna output to the TV via DLNA or a Micro USB to HDMI cable, there is no point to have a 720p.
As of right now I found no way to look at the stats for the avatar movie since its a protected file...except that it is around 1gb in size, so by that I'm assuming the bitrate is anywhere from 1500-2000 if that helps...and the size must just be the size of the phone 800x480

I recoded a 4.13gb HD movie down to 2200 bitrate and it turned out 1.52gb... that was 1280x720 though. Avatar is (or should be) 800x480 so it may have a slightly higher bitrate... avatar.dcf is 1.40gb.
The included trailer is encoded at 1300ish kbits so its safe to assume that Avatar is also encoded at this rate.

I agree. I can drop the bitrate to well under 1000 for a basic DVD rip and it still looks great.
Hm, that could be it. I'll double check.
Update: Yeah, I setup RipBot correctly this time and it came out perfect. Bitrate's about 1350kbps @23fps. 800x450. 1.6gb. I don't think I had the h264 mp4 option selected at the bottom the first time.

Hello fellow Android Bros/ Sis!
I was searching through google and XDA and found myself here. I was really interested in the outcome of your video. My question is:
1) Was this video a conversion from a Blu Ray movie or a regular HD movie/ file?
2) What were your Audio Output settings?
Short History: I have both the Captivate and the Vibrant, and wanted to see if i could just use my Blu Ray Movie of Avatar to Rip and Convert for the Captivate since my Vibrant already has it. Plus i also wanted to be more familiar with Handbrake myself (have converted dozens of HD movies so far), but Blu Ray is an issue for me. As far as video, i can transcode no problem. Audio on the other hand, is either slow-distorted-muffled or no sound at all. Regardless of which audio codec i tried.
Thoughts?
WHAT UP, NICE avtar, HOW DID U PUT G.O.W IN YOUR PROFILE?
Avc is a horrible encoder. I had a crystal clear 1.5gig avatar file in aweird format that avc'ed and it came out with 200 megs in the ****tiest quality ever.

I just read the Phone arena review for the SGS2:
Here are the PROS and CONS:
PROS
Significantly improved Super AMOLED Plus display
The best handset for recording and watching Full HD video
The dual-core Exynos chipset meets and exceeds the benchmarks in its peer group
Future-proof collection of connectivity options
CONS
Design could be a bit more differentiating
Automatic screen brightness adjustments are not smooth
Motion sensor-powered gestures could see more practical usage
They gave it 9/10
However, they say this in the review:
The Full HD 1080p video is one the best we've seen from a phone, largely due to the fluid 30fps it's captured with, and the good amount of detail. Granted, we've only seen retail 1080p samples from the LG Optimus 2X for now, which shoots with 24fps. The Samsung Galaxy S II records video in the .3GP format - we’d rather have .MP4 files, but you’d be able to record just one hour of Full HD 1080p video to the user-available internal memory, not the hour and a half you can now.
Can the people who have got the phone confirm this? all the previous reviews suggested that the phone can record video in .mp4 format that too at a very good bitrate.
Can someone please clarify??
Thanks in advance.

Yep I second this, however when I look at the format of the video on my phone it says 3gg, but when viewed from kies it states it's a mp4. My phone also indicates that I have 1.5 hours at 1080p, so I can confirm that too.
To be honest you should use 720 res. The autofocus is a bit laggy in 1080 when moving the camera about.

You need to use KIES. It'll chop up the file into two parts automatically when you move it over.

So I did use KIES to move it over, first used the "transfer to device" option in the KIES library, then instead used the "sync" option in the connected device panel, both will only give me half of the mkv file, instead of two cut parts, so could you explain a bit more in detail? Thanks
Why do you want to put a 1080p movie on your phone? You realise the res of the screen isn't even 720p? Just convert it down to 720p and you wont even notice a difference.
There's a huge difference between SD and 720p though obviously. 720p to 1080p is largely unnoticeable on the phone though and just a waste of space.

yeah you have a point, but sometimes 720p movies do come with a size bigger than 4GB as well, then someway of proper transfer is still needed...
Honestly I'd say if you're going to convert the video anyway, why not convert it to the screens native resolution. Same quality, less processor usage so better battery life, and then you don't need to split the file (since i dont think any 800*480 resolution video file should reasonably surpass 4gb )

To anyone saying 1080p is a waste... of course it is on this device.
But people store their videos generally with 1 copy in the best quality. So I need to be able to watch my 1080p videos, even though it's overkill, because I'm not going to re-encode another 720p copy and store that somewhere. I'm going to store one 1080p copy.

MKV is container not codec. MKV can hold virtually anything...

so, is video the only reason you bought a tablet? I don't watch movies on little screens when I have an HDTV at home. I typically have a drink in one hand so holding my tab in the other would get old. Tab runs great for everything except 720 and 1080 movies apparently. If you want to watch movies on the go, by a portable blu-ray player, not a tab. Tegra 2 runs great! Tab runs great on task's roms BTW!

Can anyone provide the best Handbrake settings for ripping DVDs?
I'm interested in opinions as well on this matter.
-
Back when I had my Captivate I used these settings:
http://capfaq.com/w/Transferring_movies_from_DVD
I put these movies on my Note and they're all still excellent quality. I was assuming that the quality my suffer due to the Note's large size, but it's still great. And with these settings, I'd say about 75% of the movies I encoded were less than a gig and most less than 900MB.
Am I missing something? What does this have to do with the Note?
The note...being sent down to us by the gods (why...what gods you ask? Ill tell ya...the AMOLED gods, the robot gods, and the HD gods...and they frown on crabbiness.) and being so well endowed, is quite the media consumption device. What the OP was trying to figure out...was how he might best take advantage of such a wondrous and surely godly device.
And the movie industry...being ungodly as they are, makes an all-hands-on-deck effort to obfuscate and obscure any clearly delineated path to enjoying popcorn-tasting-finger-licking-goodness on the go. For this is their only purpose in life..besides, making movies, of course.
I might add...high profile is. Lovely. On the same subject... I've only used CIFSManger and allshare in combination with TVersity to play media...i use Netflix on the go. But Im curious as well...does anyone know which format and container is required to play native HW decoded video on the note? Does the container event matter? I know i can usually find a video player that can play any video file, but i have issues with .Mkv the most...and the pseudo-5.1 audio and the native player is nice....real nice.....really really niiiiiiiiiiiiiccccccccceeeeeee.
HW decoding is always a plus. And its easier on the battery too.

I was just wondering if anyone had encoded any of their DVDs to play on the Note. I've used Handbrake previously to watch movies on my Captivate and thought someone might have played around enough to have optimal settings for the Note. Using the settings I had for my Captivate, the picture/sound quality is pretty great on the Note.
I use MakeMKV for both blu rays and dvds. (correct me if im wrong) as far as i know, it's like flac. Compresses the video with no loss of quality in both video and audio.

What format have you encoded THAT to? Sounds far too large a file for even an HD video. And ... as another has said, that 'lock' isn't Sony, it's the format of FAT-32.
I use Miro and Handbrake to convert. Handbrake is the more flexible software (the new version [0.9.6] has an 'Android High' setting that should serve most people).
