Hello all,
Just came back from a wedding, and shot 2 videos in HD. One file is 2.16GB, the other 2.65GB.
Both files can be played on the S2, and can be copied to windows. However, windows won't play them (Mediaplayer, VLC), probably due to the 2 gig limit, and all splitters that I've tried won't open the files either...
Does someone know a solution on how to cut the files in smaller parts? (editing on the phone using the "Video Editor" won't work, does not handle hi-def files)
Never mind!
While writing the post, I started thinking... "c'mon... My S2 is awesome, but doing something on a phone that 8 programs on a regular pc can't? ...maybe it's the copying that goes wrong with >2GB files?"
So reconnected the S2, only now in USB-mode... Tadaah, the >2GB vids can play / split / etcetera again!
(so, thanx to myself, and topic can be closed )

DVD to Pocket PC software
hi
you can buy the software now - ive done about 20 movies from DVD to Pocket PC and they are between 100 and 200 MB depending on the res. Just download the new software that is called DVD to Pocket PC it will come up in a google search - works GREAT and is WMV format!
How to guide

regards,
Haven't come across any free software that is straightforward or one-step, but if you don't mind spashing out $24.99 DVD to Pocket PC by Makayama Software is an ace bit of software. Does one step conversion from your DVD to WMV files with 2 output options - low res (to fit on a 128MB card) and high res (to fit on a 256MB card). I have found the quality to be really good, even on the lower resolution. Be aware that if only movies shorter than 100 minutes can be compressed to fit on a 128MB card, otherwise the files end up nearer the 256MB mark.
You can download a trail version (does a 5 minute encode) at: Handango (http://www.handango.com/PlatformPro...ionId=0&catalog=30&txtSearch=dvd+to+pocket+pc)
for those having problem with the link - here you have short
version of it http://makeashorterlink.com/?K372120F6
and apart from that, it seems a great piece of software

check out this URL. I use this software combination all the time and it works great!

the resource is nice and easy
thank you, I would definitely give it a try

what media player would i need then?
I tried loads and found Windows Media Encoder the best so far- find it on MS site. It converts to WMV, lets u change lots of settings and its free!
For those interested in DVD to Pocket PC I have written a review which can be fount at: http://www.pocketreview.net/default.asp?section=article&id=5&page=1
http://www.pocketmatrix.com/guides/compression/
hass all you need id recomend using divx conversion you get better quallity and smaller filesize then the wmf 2hours 30min into 124mb at 320x240 res with 250bps and 21kbs sound
can't play large files
My experience has been that i can't play any files bigger than 4 mb
on my XDA using Div-x player , windows media is even worse struggles along with 1mb files, i tried opening a 5mb file on dix-x and after waiting for 10 minutes watching the coloured pie chart go round and round, rebooted and gave opening big files a total swerve, i found setting my cache setting to max helps out, but still no joy with big files, i can't imagine to think how guys are getting to watch full length movies,

there were another articles at that site mainly about CF i know that we use SD but sandisk were soooooo much slower then any other CF cards so if thats the same thing with SD cards and you have a sandisk SD card then that could be the reson for poor video playback
weird my sandisk works fine i play full 140mb full screen vids and they work fine also doesnt take long for it to plan routes on tomtom either

maybe it a lexar fault, previosly I've had 256mb lexar one and that card produced some problems - files were disappearing just out of blue, SpB benchmark software ... has reported errors on that card - after changing for a new one ... problems have finished
but even though (ie. having those problems with) lexar card has been playing video with no hassle
regards, monika
upgrade to 2003 complete
took your advice monika
just upgraded from 2002 to 2003
now have WMP 9
great upgrade, except, 2003 IMHO has not been for me as stable as 2002
find myself needing to reset a lot more, but the added feautures and functionality do make up for it.
anyway, vid files still buffer a hell of a lot and the bigger they are the more they skip
i will try a different make of SD card and see what happens,
cheers

Before I splash out on the galaxy tab 10.1, i really would like some advice on whether it's a major hassle trying to get video files onto the tab.
Specifically, most of the files I've downloaded are either .avi or mkv, some DivX, I've already had to convert to mp4 to play on itunes on my mac/iphone so my first question is these mp4's already converted for itunes/apple, will they also play on the tab 10.1?
2nd question is getting the files onto the tab. Kies seems to be beyond a joke, so is my only option, wifi transfer and how quick is this to transfer to and from the tab for say a 1.5gb file? I downloaded Kies 1.0 and then upgraded after i'd tried 2.0 and this failed to see if I could get stuff onto Kies ready for transfer, but apart from music/photo's, no video would attach itself (most .avi, mp4 were greyed out in the first place) and the one's that weren't said 'no files found. It's not a good experience when this is the tab I had set on.
Ultimately i'm just looking for this tab to take on holiday and to connect to my TV to watch stuff that's been downloaded...I have a MAc Book pro (leapoard I think 2009) and really don't want the ipad or anything more to do with apple, but what's MAC users experience of using the tab 10.1, especially with getting video onto it?
Would really appreciate any responses from MAC users and how they've found the compatability before I splash out for the 32gb wifi version.
I really hope ipad2 isn't what I have to end up getting due to all the issues I seem to read about 10.1 and MAC's....!

I'm a Linux user so I'm subject to many of the same limitations you are.
1) MTP support on this device is wonky. I still can't get it running under Linux
2) ADB (Android USB Debugging) works perfectly - rock solid and consistent and worked right out of the box with my existing ADB installation. It's a little slow though. 802.11n wireless transfers are faster. Yes, with various apps you can transfer files via WiFi.
3) MP4 (H.264 video + AAC audio) is the preferred video format for this device. If it is playable on iPod/iPhone it should be almost guaranteed to play in the Tab. However there are some issues with playing back high-bitrate Main/High profile H.264 video, so some videos encoded for iPad might be choppy. There's a Handbrake preset for H.264 baseline profile video created by me floating around on these forums that works very well.
4) The Samsung USB adapter + a thumb drive is even faster than WiFi and is how I transfer video files now. My personal opinion is that you are far better off with a 16GB tab than a 32GB tab.
16GB tab $500 + $20 USB adapter + two 32GB USB sticks at $40 each = 80GB for $600 with a small convenience penalty (swapping files out every few hours).
32GB tab $600 = 32GB for $600.
i just use kies to transfer from my mac to the tab
I have a mac and a windows 7 netbook - the mac is an absolute nightmare to get files off for the tab. But I am still glad I have the device it is just hard work. I have been putting things onto a USB drive and then onto the windows pc and then onto the tab. I haven't been able to get the wireless transfer to work nor Kies, which is a truly awful piece of software.
I am also disappointed that as an owner of a GS2 I cannot get the two devices to talk to each other either over wifi or bluetooth. I have a 32gb card on the phone which I would love to be able to stream things over to the tab with, but I can't find a non-app way to do it. And even then I am not sure an app would enable me to, either. I think the wireless sharing option is going to be added to the tab in future (at least I hope), but untill it is be warned that it's hard work with a mac as your main media storage system. On the plus side, the files all play just fine, and it is still totally worth it over an iPad 2.
File manager or es file explorer work excellent for transeferring files over wifi. I have a Mac and can transfer and view files on my Mac, NAS, phones etc. All over my wi fi.
File manager is made for tablets but ES has better image viewing from remote locations. I have them both, but use file manager most.

Hi everyone, I'm new here so be nice
Just bought my phone today, and I'm having a few odd issues. I'm trying to transfer some .mkv files to my phone to play through moboplayer (one of the apps that I saw in the file transfer thread), but using the MediaGo program they won't transfer (an error stating "could not transcode" pops up, and when I click on the error it states no codec could be found, even though that shouldn't matter), and by using Windows Explorer to transfer them Explorer just crashes - which has never happened to me before with any program.
I've changed all the setting that I can find in MediaGo which should allow transfer, and still nothing. So, is there anything else I can do to get this working short of rooting the phone?
Thanks guys for your (hopefully impending and helpful ) help
Take a look at "My Phone Explorer", its a windows progam and a buddy app on your phone. Makes it really easy to push and pull files over wifi, usb or bluetooth.
Thanks, I'll give it a whirl
Dont use pc companion.. just use windows to transfer files
Just tried using myphoneexplorer, unfortunately I've searched through the phone and can't find a setting to only charge when connected via usb, and an option for usb debugging. Any help regarding this?

There is no function for charge only - usb debugging is in setup -> Programs -> Development.
Windows explorer is behaving strange for the moment - only hope is it will be fixed in a new upgrade (as far as I remember i did not have it on the .62 version). I backed up yesterday on wi-fi using X-plore on my phone - time consuming but worked.

I can't use WiFi unfortunately, as one of the campus terms and conditions is that you can't set up your own WiFi network.
It's the only problem I have with my phone really, although I tried torrenting an mkv file (that I own on my pc) using a torrent app and that works fine using mx player . I think I may be in love with this phone
I've not been having any issues transferring files to the device through Windows Explorer, however, i'm finding that files larger than 4GiB aren't accepted - it seems like the 25GiB Data partition on the internal storage is formatted FAT32... which seems a bit pointless to me.
Surely a Device with a 1280x720 screen and enough grunt to render 720p video should be able to accommodate large files on its data partition!?
Silly Sony
You need encode your data smaller convert to mp4 only

I can confirm this problem with windows explorer and the XPS - this issue is with mkv files it seems, regardless of file size. It was really confusing when I was transferring my libraries over to the new phone and it just crashed winexplorer partway =(
MyPhoneExplorer did succeed in transferring the mkv file though, thanks.
But I'm sad to say that not everything plays well even with DICE player... the XPS still struggles with some 720p h264 mkv files. So might still have to convert whatever you want to watch with something like Handbrake =(

Yeah, I updated to the .73 firmware and still not working... Ouch.
I converted the file to .avi though, and can't notice the difference in quality. However it would be nice to put some of my hd films on there without conversion.
Thanks guys for all the useful help
So as the title says, and yes I searched, guess what comes up, posts from 2009 or useless info. Anyway, I have used google too and I can't find what I effectively need. Taking a long flight, I'm looking for freeware to put DVD files on my devices, of which I own several to choose from. The files are currently .vob, I can transfer files, but nothing stock reads them, The rooted and/or jailbroken devices can see them and play, but I have to manually select each file when said file is over. Anything available in freeware that you know of ot use to help out??? Flight is Friday morning.....
Try mx.video player. It supports a ton of video formats, and hopefully it supports vob. Make sure you set it to sw fast decoding for video though

Looks good, I'll try it out, but I'm really needing a converter.
Any ideas?

Update...i found handbrake, looks like this is what I needed. Feel free to close thread.
This phone is great and so is the camera. I spent couple of hours trying things out and I'm very impressed. I like the video stabilization and the zoom quality while recording. Coming from S10e with crowded controls on smaller screen, this one is much better to operate. However, a gimbal would be a nice addition to video stabilization to avoid any 'jerkiness', it is still a phone after all.
Now, I stumbled upon something I cannot explain: I stored part of today's vids and pictures on internal storage and other part part on external microSD to see later on the differences in files transfer speed between UFS3.0 and the ordinary SD. I created two separate folders on my desktop for each. The pics from the internal storage opened w/o problems but the videos wouldn't(Windows10) telling me that I need additional HEVC codex from Microsoft store for .99 cents.
But my desktop's default player is VLC and when I opened the folder with vids & pics files that came from external microSD the videos started right away.
I had the same settings on the phone for either storage(both HEVC) so, what do you think of that? Well, I'll investigate it later.
edited I moved all videos from one desktop folder to another and I can play the videos that wouldn't play initially.
Re:#4 - What kind of wasp is that? Took it with about X5 zoom.
I have HEVC codec installed as part of standard Win 10 installation, but maybe due to licensing fees it is provided by computer manufacturer instead of MS(check under settings/apps&features/HEVC Video Extension)? But VLC or MPC should come with own major codecs installed and work fine even without Win10 codecs. BTW Win 10 is messed up and does a lot of strange things (for example use different program to open a file than set in preferences).
Am gonna be looking into that. I don't mind using VLC at all. I built this computer by myself few years ago as Windows 7Pro(Asus Z-97 mobo,Intel Core i5 4690K) and just recently installed Windows 10Pro for free. Funny, because I paid only $99 back then for the Windows 7Pro installation disk and now I just followed up on some article I've read somewhere on the web, how to get Windows 10 - uh, here it is: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows10/#34de222e-6944-44aa-8f45-8e96988880a4
and I downloaded that Win 10 Pro installation from there. I didn't need the .iso files, I just ran the disk as DVD and it installed over the whole OS with my old id # valid for 10Pro. Sooner or later everyone will have make the switch.
I actually like Windows 10 after rather heavy hand personalization, getting rid of many things I didn't like.
Sure, after you disable automatic updates (they fail on my computer every single time), disable all the tracking, spying and advertising (programs get installed on your computer without your knowledge), fix Windows search function (for example you search for some file on your computer and you get random advertising suggestion from web totally unrelated to your search query as the answer), get rid of metro apps since some don't work (I had picture viewer unable to open standard jpeg file for example), don't turn on ransomware protection (will break some of your programs) and do some other tweaks, Win10 can actually work reasonably well. At least you don't have to break into your own computer to make those changes, like getting root access on Android. BTW to play video files I prefer MPC over VLC (have both) and don't use Windows Media Player which could start dropping frames on 4k video even with fast CPU.
