I've looked around the site and seen some instructions for converting videos like .avi for playback on the htc hero, but I was just wondering what was the best, most recent way for playback, quality, sound etc etc.
I used to use Total Video Converter to just convert them for me, but I'd like a better way.. if there is one.
Thanks guys.
Use Handbrake.
i use SUPER converter (erightsoft)
i like the way i can customize settings before i convert
this is the settings i use:
Output Container: Mp4
Video Codec: H.264/AVC
Audio Codec: AAC LC
Scale Size: 480 x 320
Aspect: 3:2
F/s: 23.976
Bitrate: 1344
Sampling Freq: 44100
Bitrate: 128

Hey
I'm no expert with these things but I'm trying to get a mkv 720p file I downloaded to work on my Sony ericsson Arc. Rather than re-encode (takes ages!) I use a program called gotsent, that repackages the MKV into an MP4 that the phone can then play. Sometimes this works, and phones plays the file flawlessly, other times it fails to play. I use VLC media properties to get the information about the files. Two files the phone plays flawlessly. One already converted as it's a HD mp4 trailer from the web and the other a SD MKV that I
converted.
Fast Furious Trailer works
Stream 0
Type Video
Code: H264 - MPEG-4 AVC (part10) (avc1)

Codec: MPEG AAc Audio (mp4a)

Sample rate: 48000Hz
SD MKV FILM COVERTED TO MP4 works
Stream 0

AAC extension: SBR
Stream 1

Now the one that doesn't work after converting,
720p HD Mkv converted to mp4 using GotSent
Stream 0

Does anybody know what is going wrong and why the third file refuses to play?
Thanks for any help.

Try MoboPlayer, it's i thought free on the market. ;0
+1 for Mobo player
Thanks for the advise. However, I have tried Moboplayer, QQplayer, rock player. I find that these will all play HD files that the preinstalled player does well. However, MKV, convter MKV to MP4, the player will render using cpu only, and thus stutter.
I really belittled by how two files, looking identical in their properties, one if playing fine and the other is failing.
It is really an important feature for me, as the HDMI port and HD files will make an ideal media player/network streamer.
Cheers
As far as 720p/1080p mkv's are concerned only Samsung galaxy s1(720p) n s2 n their top end wave models can do it!

Hi. I do know this and willing to sell my Arc to get a Galaxy s2 but the Arc is capable of hardware accelarated mp4 video.
Please read my original post. I'm not trying to play Mkv's on the device, but MP4, which has been converted from MKV H264. Some files play others will not, but their properties look identical.
i think I may have more luck asking in an encoding video sort of forum? Any of you know another forum where I may find someone who could answer my question?

u gotta be kidding lol
*Edit- Try muxing the mp4 where Stream 0 is video and Stream 1 is audio. It may be as simple as that...
if not,
Can you post the full media info for the offending file?
Look especially for Format Profile and Format settings, ReFrames. If either of these are too high that may be your problem. Format Profile should be [email protected] or lower and ReFrames should be 8 or less (I think). Even PS3 and some other devices will not play videos outside those parameters. The professionally encoded stuff will work 'cause they know this and make it work on all devices. "Other" encoders usually try to do the same but some ignore it. You can change the Profile Level without reencoding but not the ReFrames.
The only thing I can think of other than that is if the bitrate is much higher than the one that works.
I am getting ready to convert some movies to H.264 to play on my View. What are the ideal resolution and bitrate settings for good quality viewing? I was looking at using 720x480(I think this is standard for ntsc dvd) with a bitrate of 768 or 896 for the video and 128 for the audio. Any ideas/thoughts/suggestions?
I've been trying to find the best encoding settings for HD/720p H.264 video for G Tablet with Handbrake and I'm not having much luck. I've followed this article for Notion's tablet (since its also a Tegra 2 tablet) and while the picture is great the playback is jittery. I tried lowing the RF (under Constant Quality) to 25 but it produces the same jitters.
Changing the video codec from H.264 to MPEG-4 (FFmpeg) actually produces little to no playback issues but the picture quality isn't as great (its still good though), but I prefer to use H.264.
Any one have any luck encoding HD H.264 video for their G Tablet? If so, can you share your settings?
Thanks in advance
P.S. - I'm running VEGAn-Tab 5.1.1 and using VPlayer, RockPlayer and QQPlayer to play back the videos (they're all suffering from jittery playback).

mp4 (either H.263 or H.264/MPEG-4 AVC)
30 or 29.97 or 25 (depending on the original fps of the video you are formating)
350 - 500 kbps video bitrate
480 x 360 px video resolution (for high quality)
112 kbit/s AAC-LC
Make sure to us Baseline Profile for AVC
..or, you could just use Mobo video player. It can play many video format.
vPlayer support a lot of formats as well!
If u want to convert video files for ace on a pc use a video converter like xilisoft video converter.it has a separate profile for samsung phones.

Use mobo, it supports most formats, wonderful player
Has anyone experienced strange issues with aspect ratios in the stock Google video player on the Prime? I ripped my entire DVD collection last year, noticed about 20% were displaying poorly on the Prime, to the point of being unwatchable.
When I open them in other video players or devices they play fine.
Example of horrible aspect ratios:
https://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/6j93pu_G7kvk82wlVonpFrgnicQnztK0IPAGHZxINKo?feat=directlink
Most movies are encoded around these specs:
Kind: MPEG-4 video file
Bit Rate: 156 kbps
Profile: Low Complexity
Channels: Stereo, Dolby Digital 5.1
Encoded with: HnadBrake 0.9.4 2009...
Total Bit Rate: 1903 kbps
Video Dimensions: 853x480
Video Codec: H.264
From the specs, you're using anamorphic encode. The encode is done at native DVD res (720x480 NTSC), and the aspect flag is set to expand out to 853x480 upon playback. The problem is that many of the Android movie players don't respect the aspect flag, and simply play the vids at 720x480, leading to a "skinny" aspect.
Contact the author to update the player, or try a different media player.
Try with another video player than the stock one. E.g dice player or mx video player. I think there is an option to change the aspect ratio in those apps.
Thanks MX Player fixed my aspect issue.
