More information would be good.
What format are your movies?
You might try a media player from the market, I use Rock Player and it handles everything I have thrown at it so far.

They are usually in mp4v. They are digital copies that I have in iTunes and in Windows Media player.
Convert said movies to Mpeg4... Mount TB to disk drive.. Create a folder and call it movies... Dump MPEG4 movies into folder. ENJOY!
i wonder if your issue is DRM related, were they purchased from iTunes store or imported into your iTunes library?
I would like to be able to stream movies from my network server. I've got the SMB share mounted, but RockPlayer seems to struggle with 1080p and 720p content.
I've tried PS3 Media Server and transcoding the content down, but that's not happening either.

Ok, so how do I convert the movies to mpeg4? The copies came with the blu-rays that i bought, then downloaded using iTunes or Windows Media Player.

There are conversion programs to put it in mp4, just Google it and you'll find one.
It is a drm related issue. When you download the digital copies from the blu-ray disc that have that option, you are asked which format you want to download Itunes or wmv and they come with drm protection to only play on those devices (ipod, itouch, iphone or zune) or pc.
They are also protected from being converted. Im sure they can be converted but your everyday program will not do it. you need a program to break protection and then convert to same or another format.
Going to second the DRM issue. Sounds like you should get an iPod Touch or iPad for movie watching.
Even with my old Droid, I preferred watching movies on the iPod Touch just for the battery life (7hrs video).
If you're looking for converters iSquint is my favorite mac based converter, haven't found many solid PC ones.
Look at Subsonic, it's an awesome app and you can stream any media from your pc to your phone. mp3, mkv, avi, etc... I use it all the time and love it.

There's ways to break the drm on the blurays you purchased. However, that is more of a matter for other forums and websites. If you google around you'll find information. If they are truly your bought and purchased copies, you should have a right to do what you want with them as long as you're using them for your own devices.

Go to knowyourcell.com. I don't know if they have the Thunderbolt listed yet on that site, but every movie I converted per their instructions for my EVO works great on my thunderbolt. It's all free, even the software to convert, and tells you what format everything needs to be in.
Hit the link below and it will give you all of the instructions you should need. Again, I know its for the Evo, but every movie I converted for my Evo works great on my Thunderbolt. They dont have a seperate tutorial for the thunderbolt yet.

I have been looking at a few ways to do it but whats the best/fastest ?
Wow. Is dragging and dropping just that much of an exhausting task? I don't think it gets much easier than that. lol
What have you tried?
what does the file type have to be?..width? anything have to be converted?
RockPlayer plays most formats.
I have been looking for ages for a suitable way to stream video files to my phone. ORB is NOT the solution and does not work well on Android for some reason, not even. The browser based access is better then the app, but its still horrible.
I have an average of 25mbps upload bandwidth through Verizon Fios and stream movies over the internet to friends and family all the time on PC. I use a UPNP streamer and a VPN client to accomplish the streaming and XBMC as a client to view the video. I just can find a suitable way to do this on my phone.
The fact that our phone plays divx natively now makes this all the more frustrating.
If we could figure out a way around the WiFi only aspect of AllShare setting up a VPN should give us access to a UPNP server at home from anywhere.
Any DVD Converter
I purchased this program awhile back while trying to back up my kid's dvds (cars, up, bolt, etc) so that I could throw them on my PS3 and have him just click them to watch instead of throwing the dvds around and fingerprinting/scratching them up.
I tried to figure out how to do it the "free" way for about a week with ffmpeg etc and finally gave up and decided it was worth 45 bucks to have it done for me in one click instead of running command prompt commands only to get a video that was out of sync or unplayable on the ps3.
Anyway, this thing works like a charm and if you encode to ps3 it will work on your vibrant. Have already ripped a few dvds and put them on there.
I tried posting the link but since I am new, the forum won't let me. Google "any dvd converter" and it should come up though.
They also have a free program for converting regular video files instead of dvds but I haven't tried that to see if it works well on the phone. It's called Any Video Converter.

+1 for Handbrake.
I'm amazed I keep seeing these topics. Why not just drag your files over and use the included video player. I've tried many Divx and Xvid files and every one has played just fine.
I guess it only helps that my entire movie collection already is in that format I suppose.
It can play a lot of different file types. I have put mkv (no subtitle support though), avi, divx, xvid. The list of all compatible formats and codecs can be found on Samsung's support site for the Vibrant. The codecs supported are Divx, Xvid, MPEG-4 AVC, H.263, H.264. And the formats are 3GP, MPG, MP4, AVI, WMV, MKV, FLV, H.263.
I understand the file formats and drag and drop but here is my question about this. I have a lot of mkvs over 4gb. What is the best way to get them over? Would I just need to compress them down to under 4gb?

As I understand the player does not work very good with files over 2 GB.
There is a program called double twist. Its pretty much iTunes for android. It syncs all your media to your device. I have a small selection of songs and a few movies on my vibrant.
Sent from my Samsung Vibrant using XDA app
Compressing them won't do a lot of good (in my experience). I'd recommend re-encoding them at a framerate no greater than 29.97, the resolution set to match the scale of the Vibrant, and audio sampling between 96 and 128 kbps. Adjust the various settings until you are happy with the quality while whittling down that file size.
Just my two cents.

Thought I would post up a new trick I saw on Gizmodo the other day. There is a program you can download for your PC called LiBox. Just download the server, install it on your PC, wait FOREVER while it builds the library. Now you have access to your videos from any device with a connection to the internet. Well ok thats a bit of a fib on their part. The device needs to have Flash support.
I have already tested this server on my friends Nexus1 and it works beautifully. It makes Orb look like a hunk of ****, which it is on Android.
LiBox has also stated that they will soon release a client App for Android. They just put out their app for the iPhone the other day.
So we have two options for this service in the near future. One we use there app and hopefully get to use our native player or two we wait till we get 2.2 + Flash 10 support and play them through the browser.
Either way this service looks to be just what I have been waiting for.

Yes, but Handbrake alone does not decode the video, as I tried it on 3 DVD's, and all i got was screwed up video and intermittent sound. What did work for me is using the free DVD rip to hard drive of the program DVDFab then pointing Handbrake at the decoded files to make the copy for my phone. Works great for me!
I have always seemed to have good luck with videora. Its a free download. Its actually an ipod/iphone converter. Just set it to h264. Its a pretty straight forward applivation.

DVD Decrypter is free and works very well, not trial bloatware like DVDFab. It also has a built in DVD Burner and plays really well with the freeware program DVD Shrink if you like to make your 7GB DVD-9's into nice 4.7GB DVD-5's or if you just want to strip out the FBI, Trailers, Special Features etc.
There's this torrent application called "Swarm".
This client actually WORKS. I'm serious. Try it out. I always get good speeds on WiFi, 3G and even EDGE.
It costs money on the Market, but it's REALLY worth it.

Most of my movies are MKVs and I've used Handbrake CLI for all of them. Just use the following
.mp4 container
H.264
AAC
1280x720 (this is optional but it works the best for me)
24 FPS
You can lower the resolution if you want but 720p has a really good quality. If your videos are in 16:9 then you can lower the resolution to 854x480 to maintain the aspect ratio. If the movies are in 2.35:1 then you would still use 854x480 but you're going to have black bars.

HTC sync allows you to sync your phone with iTunes, so it may be that easy. It'll probably be a .mp4 file which can be played on the EVO 3D. No guarantees though, I can't say I've actually tried it. I'll get out a movie I have that came with digital copy and try it tonight if you want to wait.
EDIT: 3 minutes left for it to finish downloading to iTunes.
EDIT: Sync in progress
File in iTunes is in .m4v format, and it does copy to the EVO 3D if you tell it to sync with music from iTunes, but I haven't found a .m4v player in the marketplace that will play it yet.
Thanks, appreciate you testing that out. Wonder if you can convert the file before transferring it to the EVO.

I use DoubleTwist and it plays all my itunes.
So long as you find the file in your iTunes folder, you should be able to convert it over into just an .mp4 format. I was able to with one of the first digital copies I had.
Yep, you can convert it, I found out right before my power and internet connection went out. There are some free converters if you google it and some tutorials on youtube.
I just tested out doubleTwist suggested by ScottyBeGood, and it didn't work for the digital copy I'm testing with.

Hi XDA community
In what format should I convert videos for the Asus Transformer Prime, for a good quality.............
I have a movie (1.25 GB avi.) -> (. 3.12 GB MP4) format.
Used program =
- Xilisoft Video Converter Ultimate
- Profil Motorola Xoom / H.264 Video
- 1280x720
[Q]
- Is this normal (1.87 GB more)?
- Are there any conversion settings for the Prime (size, format, etc.)?
- Which program would you recommend?
Thank you for your help
You don't convert. The prime eat anything as long as you use a third party player like mxplayer.

Missing Video Conversion
The conversion I'd like to understand is .wtv to playable on Android.
We've got quite a few computers in this household running Windows Media Center. They record OTA HD TV on a house server in .wtv (MSFT proprietary) format. But none of the players I've tried play .wtv out of box, yet.
And when the Win 8 slates appear, they WILL interoperate with .wtv and be harder to dislodge. So this would be a good time to source .wtv format files in a DLNA scheme.
I'm having issues playing WMV or M4V from BluRay digital copies.
Is there something that will play these types of files? MX Player does not work.
I don't have a wmv or m4v file at hand but you could try dice player. It's my favorite so far.
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.inisoft.mediaplayer.trial
in the specs it states that it can run wmv and m4v

Just use tpb for what you need. Besides they can recommpress or remove drm in the time it takes you to poop. They're pros

These are heavily DRMed. If you did not get a Digital Copy version that is compatible with Android then you are screwed. The WMV is a heavily DRMed Windows file, and the M4V is for iTunes. Only a few BluRays were released that had an Android version too.
Honestly, if you have a BluRay player in your PC is easier to rip it to another format. Otherwise, you have to breach the DRM and convert it to a non-DRM version.
I hate the digital copy stuff, but the Ultraviolet stuff is kinda neat. At least you can use the Flixster (Movies) app to view them streaming on Android. However, only a few use it and its still a DRM nightmare.

Tell me about it! It's like I'm getting punished for "doing the right thing".
To be honest - I got the Back to the Future BR trilogy (I'm one of those huge nerdy fans) and thought: "Sweet, as a bonus - I'll get to play this back anywhere!" So I loaded up the M4V into iTunes (which works just fine with my Apple TV).
But I tried getting the movies on my tablet - where they really count (especially during travel) - and nothing.
It really is hard to "be good" when you pay for a product and then have to jump through hoops and over hurdles (wasting hours of your own time) to make use of something you OWN.
I can open up any BT client and get the full HD-BR rips in FAR less time than it'll take me to figure out how to get my rightfully purchased copies onto a media player (that I also own).
Thanks for the tips everyone!

The 4 GB limit is a FAT32 filesize limit. Only the SDCARD is FAT32 so this is should not true of the internal storage. If you download the file on your prime and store it on the internal storage it should work fine. If you need to put in on your SDCARD than you would need to split them or compress them to be under 4GB since it would be FAT32. Or you can store it some where else and stream it (if were are talking videos and on topic).
Try DVD Catalyst.
I use that to convert MY DVD's to work on my Nook Color. I have not looked if there is a preset for the Transformer Prime yet but I did copy some movies that I converted for the Nook to my TP and they look great.
Try EXTFAT
I formatted my external sdcard as extfat in Windows 7 and have a 7.50 gb blueray movie on it which plays flawlessly.
I know everyone keep giving high praise to MX Player but it has fail to HW decode all of my various MKV files. As for file size limitation, ATP can read NTFS just fine.

Full disclosure: They were all 720p, perhaps the HW v. SW decoding doesn't become seriously relevant until 1080?
Was wondering if there was a way to upload movies that I already own onto the device.
Not talking about piracy here, I am referring to DVD's that I have the actual digital copies of. I often buy Blu-Ray movies that come with both DVD and digital copies.

another awesome program (for computer) is "youtube downloader" I found out it does vimeo videos as well. Rips it straight to .mp4 h264

i've just put on avatar, transformers 3 and warrior. as i dragged them across the pc started converting them. each of them looked ok in the folder. when i unplugged the phone and tried playing them they were just about 5 minutes long with just a bit of music.
i'm completely stuck and baffled...
just tried again, and again, only 4 minutes 51 secs of video played. i don't understand why. is it because i'm uploading using my pc?
why is the pc trying to convert my file format as i'm trying to transfer it? confused!!!
I play 720p mp4 flawlessly with Mvideoplayer. I wasn't promted to convert my MP4 files when I copied them from my PC to my phone, but it did come up when I did it with some AVI files. I clicked no to conversion and they play fine on my phone.
OK, so i've now tried loading another type of file, avi, to the phone. it was a 6.2GB movie. It didn't load, said it was too big!!! WTF!
this is some FAT32 issue right?
But this still doesn't solve my original problem.
I've loaded many different files, many types, different sizes.... But it seems like all the stock video player (and now MOBO Player) wants to do is play only 4 minutes 51 seconds........
but when you look at the file through astro or the pc, it shows the true length of the file.... thnk i'm missing something here, it may be basic, but please help someone. been at this all day with no luck!!
wmv
anybody knows about a player for wmv files? I tried using the Mx Video Player but it says it doesn't support it.
I don't whether you guys looking for the free or paid apps

I'm on windows 7 and that asks me do I want to convert it,I don't generally but with the planet of the apes I did but it played ok just a smaller file size.
The only thing I can suggest if you haven't already done so is instead of drag and drop, try right clicking on the file and copy/paste and see if that makes a difference??

If you try to copy videos or audio it will sometimes ask you to format the file, simply don't allow this when the window pops up.
This will be different for every computer depending on what codecs you have installed.
Also sounds like your possibly not waiting long enough for the files to copy over? Might not be showing the progress bar for what ever reason, slow pc?
Replace the miniUSB cable perhaps with another.
Try a different computer to drag and drop the files across.
There's a 2gb file size limit with the fat file system, a 720p or lower avi movie that's about 700mb is plenty quality for a screen this small, you don't need large blueray 1080p clips taking up memory for a very minor difference in quality.

Also you can put files anywhere on the memory, player will pick up the files automatically.

If you use a combination of bubbleupnp and dice player you can play almost all movie formats just fine. It is perfectly possible to play videos from other dlna servers as well as play videos from the phone on other dlna renderers.
