Converting video - Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

What are the specs when converting a movie to the Fascinate. I googled some sites and put in the specs and but when I go to play the video I hear the audio but no video. Some sites were saying you can go up to 800x480 and the source i have is bigger than that so I went with the 800x480...but it's a no go. Any idea on what all the specs are to convert over?

This phone usually requires no conversion.. What type of file is it and what codec?

Like the guy above me said,Samsung included a ton of movie codecs that are otherwise unsupported on normal Android devices, so most of the time conversion is not needed.
So most of us never have to worry or know much about converting to the Fascinate....

What app are u using to play the movie?

The one with MIUI.

Let me give you a good hint, use vuze. Www.vuze.com, and connect your fascinate in storage mode. Then just drop any video, it will convert it and copy it to the fascinate automatically, very cool and easy

That's my problem too. The video plays but with no sound. And I love Grandma's Boy too. Looks like I'll AVI it instead.

Samsung media hub, or if you have movies on your CPU you can put them on your micro SD. This question belongs in Q&A for future reference

Swarm. Its a great torrent app that let's you download directly to your phone. Its a paid app but well worth it.
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
Ok... Im still kina new @ this but where can I find the samsung media hub or the swarm app?
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
Swarm is in the android market on your phone, Media Hub is a app thats preinstalled on your phone, you should have it.
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
Ok yes I do have the media hub.. Now, is the swarm easy to use as far as finding movies?

Go to www.knowyourcell.com and look for Tmobile/Samsung Vibrant and it tells you all you need to know about how to format your movies to fit your phone, and also a bunch of other stuff.

just use swarm its the best for downloading movies right to the phone. only problem is that when downloading everything else on ur phone is very slow even texting takes a while
Go to icefilms.info and you can download all your favorite TV shows and download movies. Download only works for me over wifi and Skyfire browser.
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
does skyfire allow increased download sizes? and is that why you can download movies straight to the phone on reg. network?
Try dvd fab its a dvd convertor I use it to convert dvds to mp4 or avi then rip it to ur phone memory works awesome and its free
Lovin my vibrant
I checked out ice films. It says you have to have divx. But the divx download isnt supported on the vibrant. How do you work around that?
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
Use swarm, and Google iPod movies/shows. You will find a ton of stuff.

Why won't any apps sync my video?

The video app that is packaged with CM7 doesn't display the videos saved on my SD card. I also tried iMediaShare and I had the same problem. Is there an option or an app that will do a scan of the SD card for videos?

MX Video Player works the best for me.

I'll give it a shot. Thanks for the input.
Edit: It works fine to find my videos but still doesn't help with getting them to show in other apps.
Sent from my MB860 using xda premium
Maybe they're on a not supported and weird format?
Yeah I was Googling a bit and saw something about native formats. Looks like I have to convert my videos if I want to use them.

BS PLAYER works great.

I third that. Mx all the way!
I cant get 1080p mkvs to play smoothly and ive tried everything. These are blu ray rips using makemkv.com software. its slight stuttering around characters facial ffeatures in fast scenes. I gave up and reencode now. Dissapointed because my s3 played back the same files flawlessly.
I use dice player and haven't had any issues.
