I dunno if it would be against the rules because he owns it and its not like he is handing it out?? but then again... what do i know? haha
but yeah +1 to handbreak on the computer, then use the iPhone setting to rip the dvd.. it should work.
I think it would be against the rules because it encrypted but im not sure your prob right use dvd decrypter then lol

I use a program called Videora Android
I like Freemake Video Converter. It can Rip from DVD, convert most any format, and outputs to many formats including common Android screen sizes. Also, it can not be beat for simplicity. There are not a lot of options to set like Handbrake, you just give it a source (or sources, for example join two Video-CDs into a single movie), and what you want to get out - then get out of the way.

Okay so I converted a movie threw it on my sd card, it started playing for about a minute then got stuck? Any ideal what happened?

I use Handbrake, rip to h.264 and change screen size to 800x600.
On the computer create a Video folder on the external SD card and put it in there. You can also put them on the internal SD if you haven't upgraded your external yet. I just got a 8g micro SD at WalMart for $20 as well.

Why would you convert it so a size that does not fit and will stretch? Thant makes no sense at all.
The playback issue most likely has nothing to do with what you used for the conversion but either it is a bad file or a issue with the phone. Does it play OK on your computer? If so then it is a phone issue, if not then does the original file you converted from play through OK? If not you can not create a good file from a crap one. If it does play, then something must have just gotten corrupted, try the conversion again. If it is a corruption issue I would run scan disk to see if this is a early warning that you need to be doing backups and getting a new hard drive.
I tried the freemake video converter. It works great and is faster then handbrake. I did notice that when playing the movie it didn't take up the full screen like handbrake does. Any way to make it a little bigger? Thanks
My movies froze at some point during play did that happen to you?

Ive noticed if you get a movie that is wide screen and in letterbox no matter what ypu do to the movie it will always have a little realistate there. I know a helpful hint to get a none letterbox movie to fit perfectly in 800X480 screen. In handbrake it always wants to convert to 720X480 or something like that. So i check the auto fit right under that and crop 20 pixels off the left and right side and then the auto fit will go up to 800X480. 20 pixels on each side is hardly anything you wont evev be able to notice.
Fear the beard...
I can't honestly say. I only played about a minute just to see what it looked like.

Ive tried the other dvd converters and none of them make a nicer, tighter file than handbrake. Others maybe faster but the quality wont be up to par with high bit rates and audio.

Freemake Video Converter will make the largest file that will fit the screen without stretching or changing the aspect ratio. That means either Height OR Width if the aspect ratio of the movie is different than the phone.

I don't know what you are watching them with, but the default video player lets you toggle between full screen stretched to fit, full screen correct aspect ratio, and original size. So the extra steps are not needed.

SERIOUSLY!?!? You are watching this on a 4 inch screen and you want to continue to use a bloated, overly complicated program that converts slower for QUALITY? I'll bet you keep all your music at 320Kbps Constant Bit Rate when you put it on your music player and then listen with cheap earbuds too, right?
No need to convert. Unless you just want to save space.
I just turned a 700 mb movie into 1.3gb by using a converting program.
WTF.
Okay but still I have a problem with some movies that freeze what's up with that

Email I sent to VIP escalations asking if NFC was built into the chip and night vision camera.
I don't think I'm going to miss the kickstand too much
Might just be me, but I swear the layout on the screen looks so odd, like the app/icons are adjusted weird or however you'd like to word it...
Other then that, it looks great!!
I think it looks good but I wish it had a kickstand. I'll getting it regardless. Can't wait till Summer! Hopefully they'll give us more of a demo!
I didn't think the kickstand would be for me until I started propping it up on my desk while doing work. It was easier to pick up phone calls via bluetooth while looking at it. I really want to see how the camera shots look and what kind of lens they are using. I think the camera bezel is huge and unnecessary but whatever.
What is the shell/casing made out of?
There was a kickstand accessory for the View, and i wanna say the guy said there is one for the 3D too.
The demo from drdrewdown is awesome. This phone is totally badass.. you can completely shut 3d off if you like... they said display looks much better than the original EVO.
My only concern is battery life... but I htink I'll begetting this phone.
Yeah, whats up with the lack of a kickstand? BSOD mentioned it still has one, but I do not see it. He also mentioned NFC, but I've not seen that mentioned anywhere else yet either.
Looks good I thing they should have gone more plain style like the iPhone 4 tho(look), I'll miss the kickstands, I hope the video quality is better then my current evo, this is what the nexus s should be ha ha, definetely going to get it tho

That's because of the higher resolution screen
BSOD stated the NFC but who knows if it's included in the chip but not enabled. Also I could care less for 3D since the only thing I would be able to play it back on is the Evo. At least now people won't ask you if you have an iPhone when they see that huge camera bezel in the back.
I can imagine people selling screen protectors for the back and the front.
I'll miss the kickstand a lot. I love propping up my phone since i keep it naked and want to minimize scratching the camera lens.
So does this have the adreno GPU?
The one thing that BSOD mentioned that I was really excited about was WiMax+LTE. Unfortunately, I didn't see anything about that mentioned during the liveblog on AC.
It's an awesome phone, no doubt about that, but I'm definitely not as excited about it as I was before. With the way things are going here in San Diego, it seems pretty much pointless to pick up a new phone that only has 3G/WiMax, as it doesn't look like we'll get WiMax anytime soon.
When is this phone scheduled for release or is it unknown ATM?
Sent from my PC36100 using Tapatalk
So about those facts BSOD posted, which I said were incorrect.....
The phone is sick, but the EVO View truly surprised me. It's awesome. Anyway, adios.
looks kinda less sleek then the original evo to me...No kickstand is huge for me I use that like 100 times a day at least lol...Loving the internal specs tho wow that phone is a beast...damn decisions decisions lol

Just sometime in the summer.. No specific month unfortunately.
My guess is around when the original Evo was released.
I think I am sticking with my launch day EVO. Not really impressed by the EVO 3D. EVO View seems kind of useless.
So, I have both. And I will share my thoughts.
Inking: A major complaint I had with the Flyer was that the stylus was limited to the Reader app, HTC Notes and the PDF Viewer. The PDF Viewer was kinda clunky because the pen nib was ginormous! However, I could change colors on the pen and highlight functions.
So, the JS doesn't have the Reader app, but I have another option that is just as good with the Moon+ reader. No handwritten notes, but eh. The keyboard is big on the JS, so it is ok. HTC Notes has a new nib that is a crayon. Love it. It also seems the response on the JS kills the Flyer! PDF Viewer is the same, EXCEPT the pen nib is smaller and smoother, which is AWESOME, but I am limited to blue only!
However, I can use the scribe ANYWHERE on the JS! Hands down, I prefer the JS in using the stylus! I just wish that I could change out the ink colors in the PDF Viewer to more than blue....
Widgets on the JS are cool....pretty standard Sense Widgets. Also, the wallpaper scrolls like on Sense 2.0 (like the Evo 4G). Glad to have that back! The default browser is better as well. Actually, all the widgets are better on the JS!
I also prefer the size. I read a lot and I had to zoom a lot with the Flyer.
Regarding video, it does just fine for me. I use Netflix and Crackle and it's all good. I also have some downloaded movies that are good as well.
It feels better in my hand than the other tablets I have tried because of the curve. It feels comfy even if it is heavier. And it is a solid well made tablet. Much like the Flyer's older brother! And believe me, you can see the difference in the real estate between the two!
I am also happy to have a full version of Zinio working on this bad boy!
If you have any questions, just post them! Yeah, I know, I am a girl and with all the reading, I sound like I oughtta just have a Nook. Lol. I want this bad boy rooted, though! I miss my backup and customizing!
Have you tried out the Flyer HC? Just wondering if the benefits you found on the JC are still valid against the Flyer running HC....

Video on the Jetstream is just bizarre. There's no discrete video app. Instead, you have to select videos from the gallery and than an imbedded HTC app gets launched. There's an option in the gallery to select a different default video player but the only one that ever appears as an option is HTC's. It also doesn't support MKV. Neither PlayOn or Plex work on it which will be a deal breaker for people who want Hulu access and to stream their own content. HTC's video implementation's have always sucked. You can live with it on a phone but it's pretty shabby for a $700 tablet considering video is probably one of the top things people do with it. Other than the screwed up video and weight I thought it was extremely well done.
I haven't implemented HC on the Flyer yet, have you? I was wondering the same thing! Wondering primarily about Scribe, and if the stylus works for all apps?
The tablet is great for a student....to be honest, I don't do video...that is what Boxee and the big screen TV are for me....tablets are for reading, research, annotation, and a nice personal assistant....for me, at least.
Its good to know that info, though!
So, tell me (the poor guy who can't buy anything better than a nook color...) is the jetstream good for reading? I like to read books, and I find 7 inch tablets are more "book-like" than a 10 inch...
Sent from my NookColor using Tapatalk
I prefer the larger tablet....I can read the screen better and without my glasses! With the Flyer, I had such a small space and on the ten inch, it.is more.like.a true page size. And when you are zooming, this means a lot. Smaller screen, I had to pan more.
I do like the Flyer for an address book, though. Fits in purse better, not so noticeable....however, typing on this JS is awesome! So easy....almost like a real keyboard. I think when cases come out, I won't have a problem lugging this around, though....
Hope this helps! The Nook is a great device! Totally impressed with how far it has come!
I really liked the Flyer, but it was just too small for me. The Jetstream is the perfect size.
The Pen on the Jetstream can be used to select buttons and tabs, as before with the Flyer you could not do that. This is really a much improved feature as it is just natural to want to use the pen to select if you have the pen in your hand already.
JOHN
The pen on the Honeycomb Flyer is much improved. You can use it on everything, just like the way you use your finger.

Express and Pro doesn't work on Flyer, it looks like it was because of the resolution being lower than typical Honeycomb devices.
Pro is the only version that has option for pressure sensitive pens, and I was told it works for Jetstream, I hope to verify that personally sometime down the road.
Right now I do a lot of sketch on Sketchbook Mobile, since it works like finger but more accurate. I am happier than I was using the crappy HTC Scribble that's for sure.

I for one would like to use a tablet WITH a big screen TV one day (using HDMI). Right now it looks like only Archos is good for videos though. Tegra2 for example is very poor - I also find the quality of the videos is much worse than when I play them on a desktop PC (probably because simpler decoding algorithms). I wonder if this is the same for the chip in Jetstream? On my Transformer when playing avi file I see a strange grid on the picture.
Isn't a video is more of a software question than a hardware. We have Qualcomm dualcore 1,5 here, which can do certain number of megaflops. Thats it. Everythin else depends on installed video player\decoder.
I was browsing the SGSII i9000 dev threads and found this little jem, which is now supported on the i777. What this will do is enable you to be able to get rid of Sammy's nasty contrast settings and fix banding, which it does beautifully.
All credit's go to supercurio!
You can also download it in market as Voodooscreentuning.
*after doing this and adding the roboto font, I got to say i'm very pleased with the way the SGSII looks. I've been a little upset about the way it was calibrated. Never understood why devices don't come professionally calibrated, tv's out of the box for the matter as well. I suppose they want to exaggerate color saturation , contrast and what not to give it that "pop".
Here is the link to the thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1241590
and to thank supercurio, I will honor him like this kid did in memory of steve jobs by shaving your face into my head!

Only difference I noticed was the sharpness changed....
Really? Wow, it's clear as night and day. I'm running unnamed too. When you use the app you can see right there that the gradient is all banded looking while on samsung settings, it is totally obvious when you switch to native.
Supercurio is a beast!

I did notice that, but I also noticed the sharpness on pictures seemed to have blurred. That may just be a by product to fix the banding. I'm no screen calibrator.
exactly when you watch movies you will notice that their is no more artifacts, because when you artificially add/enhance contrast/sharpness you create noise it becomes apparent when you are watching movies on your phone. So what you see now is a calibrated native experience. I do graphic design and invested a lot of money on sensors to calibrate my monitor and TVs. It makes a world of difference when you get it right. I notice it most when watching a scene where there is a lot of shadows, the blacks don't crush out all the dark grays.

That's something I never really noticed in the first place with movies. Everything just looked crisp.
The app is cool, but I would like a little more control as opposed to 2 buttons. Know what i mean? At any rate, it's free, and you can NEVER hate on free
I agree, more options is probably the one common denominator we share. From his thread this is going to be "huge". That little app took him 4 months of calibrations so I think he is going in the right directions. Curio is the most OCD person I have ever met, which is a good thing in this case! LOL
* I did notice when i got the phone that things looked a little cartoonie! I was still flattered with the screen. I love how everything is a little more natural to the eye.
FYI for those using CM7 on the AT&T SGS2: support will be coming later next week for our device name. Right now it will show as "model not recognized" when you try and run it.
This app is nice. Kudos to SuperCurio

Sure as hell makes my cartoon style with more solid color wallpapers look a lot better
ok I went to a picture in the gallery and I can see some fine adjustment to picture. when you put it in native and close the ap does it stay in native or you have to keep the ap open?
I think it sticks. I just rebooted and it looks like it's still working.
Just because I think Curio, should get all the respect he deserves for his OCD. I am going to shave his face into my head like this kid did in respect for steve jobs!

well it's a pretty nice app... that with SCreen adjuster you can make it pretty good.. hopefully the dEv can add rgb settings so I can finally get my screen exactly as the industry standard.

Native is the altered settings. If you can't notice a change, then it's because you have a diff screen quality on,

Seriously chill out dude, this app just hit made the front page of xda so people are curious about it. Go troll somewhere else...
Yes you hit native. If you notice the gradient it looks less banded. Trust me super curio had done a lot of work on this, he is a legend. If you dont notice anything then you really don't need the app. It works you just aren't that particular about the calibration. SOme people are some people are not.
I cannot seem to find a thread on the internet regarding this exact question, nor do I see it addressed.
The Tegra 3 has the ability to output 2560x1600 via HDMI.
However, Android lacks the most basic HDMI settings. The only way I can view my TF Prime's screen on my computer monitor is by mirroring it. Meaning, I can only resolution it displays on my monitor is 1280x720 @ 60hz.
My monitor supports 1920x1080 @ 60hz. Now, playing a 1080P blu-ray on the prime? The screen shuts off, and actually outputs at 1080P! It's beautiful!
However, we do not have the setting to extend, or set a primary display to match a native resolution to 1080P displays. WHY!?
The hardware is ready to do this. Has anyone done this?
My prime is currently connected to a usb mouse and keyboard, and is hooked up to my monitor. But this blurry display is killing me....

So to confirm, you are outputting to a 16:9 device and nothing is being cutoff? The prime 's native resolution is 16:10 aspect no? Are you using the scale/crop option? My understanding only asus provides an hdmi option like this currently.
I'm trying to find a way to change the bootup resolution, (I think it can be done by modifying the build.prop file, but no idea if this will work or will it take effect over hdmi).

Hello, well I'm in a worse boat than you. My device, acer 510 is 16:10 natively as well, but my display is 16:9 and the bottom is cropped off so I miss the ui buttons. I'm considering returning my device and getting an asus tf300 just because of this.

Same here, although I'm on ASUS TF300T I'm getting cutoff all around the display with both modes (scale and crop). My TV is running at 720p 60mhz

you are getting cropped because of your TV, if you hook up to a 720p monitor you should get 100% of the screen. if you read the manual for your tv you will find that alot of them are not true 1:1 pixel wise. you will have the same issue hooking a computer up to a tv, but normally you can go into the video card properties on a computer and adjust things. android at this time outputs 720p with no adjustments and if you have a 1080p tv/monitor when playing movies it will do 1080p, but the ui is in 720p only at the moment.

So what you are saying there is no hope for me and my crappy tv. Going to try a 1080 video to see if resizes correcty. Even when I use 4:3 on my TV, which should just squish the display, the display gets cutoff from all sides.
WOW THIS IS SAD, even when playing 1080p video on MX Player it gets cropped WTF

For the curious, here is a video demonstrating it on an asus prime

He's saying it's a neat feature, and I guess it is, but I'd be happy with the scale and not the default crop of the acer. I've been assuming this is because my monitor is 16:9 but maybe it's by design and the same thing would happen on a 16:10 display.But I'm still curious as to why my monitor manual does not list 1280 x 720 as a valid resolution but goes on to mention it works with 720p video.

Crop and Scale are pretty minimalist options.
Scale for me, displays the full 1280x800 resolution and fills in most of the screen.
Crop lowers the resolution down to 1280x752 and the menu bar is completely gone.
Our i717 Note it only records 1080p with the middle/center sensor. Is it limited bc of hardware? bc when I record 720p it feels like its zoomed out but thats bc its using the whole sensor and thats not happening when its recording 1080p(feels like it's zoomed in). Any way to fix that?
EDIT: The international note does it as well http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zpluo2kcBuo So is it really about hardware? or software? Any way to fix it?

I don't understand what you mean by "using all the sensor". There is only one sensor in both the int. And US note.

I mean its using the whole sensor where as recording in 1080p its only recording in the middle of the sensor instead of using the whole thing. Try it yourself, record in both 720p and 1080p. You will see what im talking about.
Opps double post.
Yeah I tried it and maybe I'm just an idiot but I really can't see what your talking about. All I know is the 1080p (or whatever the max is on the phone) looks freaking sweet on my tv when I record. I guess if you had side by side comparison videos we could see what your talking about

I get that as well... If you record on 1080P then the video seems zoomed in compared to 720P recording

Yeah, I get what the OP means/ I also have the problem. When he says it only uses the "middle sensor" It means that the video on the phone is cut in half. It's the same effect as iPhone 4 Pictures/ Video Where Pictures would be full size whilst video seemed to be zoomed in.
well considering 180P has more pixels than 720P. the 1080 is probably zoomed in to fill up the screen whereas the 720 will natively fit the screen.
regardless our screens cannot natively output 1080p only 720P. (1920 X 1080 or something)
1080p will be zoomed in and the left and right will be cut off. (1280 X 720)
720 p will be letter boxed.
well thats my guess
interesting. I also noticed that the video was "zoomed in". I thought it was normal since my girlfriends iphone does the same thing. I guess in order to find out if its truly zoomed in would be to watch a 1080p video on a computer to see if what was actually recorded is wider (shows more picture) than what is being shown on the phone. Still..if the international version isnt "zoomed in" i wonder why the att version is..

As you can see here that's not the case. 720p on the left and 1080p on the right.

No that's not what I mean . In 1080p recording it only records within the middle of the sensor. Look at the post above and you will understand.

So 1080p is more zoomed in? Anyone with an international version want to show if their 1080p is zoomed out?

I was wrong, the international note does it as well and that has a stronger chip inside. ------> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zpluo2kcBuo LOOK HOW BAD 1080p looks compared to 720p!
Maybe it could be fixed by software?
BUMP! There's no way to fix this? Like I want to use 1080p video but it doesn't use the whole camera sensor
so...no fix?
having this problem on my galaxy s 2 t989, as far as i remember with stock rom 2.3.6 it was fine...since i updated to ics 4.0.4 (oficial t mobo version) the issue started...tried custom roms...jelly bean roms, android 4.1.2 , 4.2.1 and 4.2.2 and the problem still the same

Comparing the two pictures posted above, 1080p actually looks a lot better than the 720p sample. It's just more zoomed in. I've had the same experience with mine. It looks worse while recording, but once I transfer the file to a computer or TV, 1080p looks a LOT better than 720p. I was a bit pissed off at it when I first got the phone, but I grew to love it. I can get closer to the subject without actually moving closer. It's led me to get some really great close-ups while shooting video. Phone cameras are generally very wide-angle, and it's kinda nice to have a mode that works a bit like a telephoto lens. Think of it this way: FREE OPTICAL ZOOM!
