Hi, guys... Just wondering what was the supported video playback formats for the Evo3D? I want to put a few movies on my phone, but not sure what format to convert them. I'm doing the conversion through DVDFab 6. Thanks in advance.
I have DVDFab 8 and usually use the iPad settings which worked on my Epic. I haven't tried a movie or conversion yet on the E3D here, but that would be my first bet.
Thanks...i'll try the Ipod setting and see.
I don't use dvdfab but it plays .mp4, .m4v, and .avi...at least I've tried those.

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.
Just use handbrake. Search here, there is a simple how to guide using it.

+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.

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.

I have three movies over 2GB on my sdcard and they work fine.
Going to get my S2 delivered tomorrow. I would like to have a couple of movies from my collection of DVDs on my phone for long journies.
What software and what format should I use? I only plan to watch on my phone, not display via HDMI or Allshare.
Sorry if this is nooby, did a full search but no joy.

Drag and drop Worked so far on almost all movies I've put on my phone, alogn with TV shows and even streamed Southpark studios full eps over it
How can you drag and drop a dvd? , I use DVDfab not free but very good, I am ripping a dvd in flv to see what the quality is like.
If you are on Ubuntu you can use OgmRip...the best!
Seems fairly obvious but if you're watching direct on your phone I'd also advise to rip as close to 800x480 if you can so there is less up/down scaling needed to be done by the phone.
Might as well be as close to native screen resolution as possible - 1 pixel to 1 pixel always works out better!
Thanks.
Any advice on the best format to rip to. MKV seems popular but MP4 or H.264 seem common to.

MP4 or H264 or H263 .
MKV to many post problems with that format .

you may try foxreal dvd ripper, it's really easy to use, just click,click and done.
and from its website, you will find lots of tutorial on galaxy s 2, they introduce the galaxy s 2 video format with detail settings to us
hope this can help you
I've been using dvdNext. I first create an ISO then convert to h.264. The program allows you to create ISOs, burn to disc, and select from a multitude of mobile formats with differing qualities and resolutions.

Some of these replies don't make sense, as mp4 and mkv are containers whereas h.263 and h.264 are video codecs. Also, native DVD format is 720x480 so it doesn't make sense to rip to resolutions higher than that (you might as well let the phone do the resizing).
My suggestion is to use handbrake and rip to a high-quality format with good compression (e.g., h.264 video/AAC audio, mkv container). The High Profile preset is good (although it defaults to mp4 rather than mkv).
I have movies that I converted using PODMAX, not purchased through itunes. I got MoboPlay because I heard that no conversion was needed. The movie played (sorta). All I had was a black screen.
Any ideas on how to get movies to play on the Atrix. Again, not purchased through itunes but they are all in the m4v format.
Thanks.
ive got a mini tute using some freeware here.

works well for me, although for best quality, maybe set the bitrate to 3mbps for video.
oh and they release different version of the app. some of them have a silly little attempt at trying to change your homepage when you close the app. just untick all check boxes and hit next/close.

Why not try NoteBurner? That's a really amazing tool. It can remove iTunes DRM from both purchases and rentals and then convert M4V to common format like MP4, MOV, AVI, FLV, MPEG, etc. Besides, AC3 Dolby 5.1 audio and multilingual subtitles can be all kept after conversion.

Hey guys, just got myself a Tab, and soon I'm gonna be thinking about adding a few of my DVD movies to it; mostly for my kids (pacifier...lol).
1-Which is the most convenient and easy to use app for watching DVD (ripped from original with a PC) movies?
2- The DVD ripper will mostly ask me to which format to convert. The ripper can convert to:VCD, SVCD, AVI(Xvid, DivX), WMV, MP3, MPEG2 and MP4. Which format should I choose to make a good pairing with the player that you recommend on point 1-.
Thank you for taking my question
PS I'm running Task 14 slim on it and so far it has been a pleasure!

Hi friend,
Im running task v14, and i use BSplayer, TRUST ME the best on market.
You can Convert to any format that supports good and high quality settings option. I dont see vcd and svcd as a good option. Convert to MP4 MKV or AVI. Good night

Hey man, thanx a lot!
Do you want to recommend a DVD ripper for a GTAB?
Thanx again!
haha I was getting ready to ask this question.
It's fine as long as you can convert from DVD to AVI/MPEG4/MKV it's all good, Using DicePlayer is best presumed over most Market Players, even reigns over BSPlayer. Hurrah.
I'm not going to be a spoiled sport but wouldn't it be easier to *cough* "arrrr" the movie than to RIP it? Because honestly doing the ripping requires a paid software like Nero or something, if there are free ones, they probably suck or on the same dictionary page as "****". If I'm not wrong, America does have some amazing internet plans and speeds and lets not forget, SOPA is gone, ACTA is on the same boat. Before **** hits the fan might wanna grab a few...*ahem*
If you catch my drift.
DVD to Tab
I found an article on Google mentioned Brorsoft DVD Ripper and followed it to transfer my DVDs to Samsung Tab successfully. You can have a try.
Hey guys, I've recently been trying to figure out the best way to convert some of my movies for my Note 2. I've downloaded Handbrake and tested it out but I can't seem to figure out the best settings. I've also got DVDFab, ANYDVD HD, and a few others. So anyone with experience converting movies for use on the N2 please let me know what program & what settings you are using. What I'd really like to accomplish is to convert some of my Blu-Rays to the exact resolution of my screen.
Thanks in advance!!!

I'm wondering this as well. I see the phone will play some mkv files with h.264 but all players seem to not have audio with the exception of one (it was loaded with ads, forgot the name).
I used to have a free key for magic DVD ripper, but it stopped working.
I also tried handbrake but it never seemed to be able to sync audio with video.
Now I use DVD catalyst, which seems to make much larger files, but it works.
Auto gk is pretty good. I use it in conjunction with DVD fab decryptor, and DVD shrink in conjuction with DVD decryptor. There are a ton out there, and of you visit doom9(a video editing forum) there are plenty of guides. Good luck
Edit: mx player plays almost anything you throw at it, AMD vnc media player is great, but you have to sideload it after downloading from the net.
