What is a really good video converter in which I can convert my MP4 so it can play on my Galaxy Tab 10.1 without losing any video/audio quality and still keeping the size intact?
Use MeGUI.
Before you go through the hassle of converting why not try a different player?
DicePlayer

MX Video Player

thanks DicePlayer works perfect but I wouldn't pay for an app when I can convert for free.
All I need to know is how to convert it and i'll be set.
Does anybody know or have a guide to converting Galaxy Tab Videos?
Did you read my reply? What better tool than that you need? MeGUI has all the goodies built-in to convert any movie into an Android (and many others) format. Not to mention it is a professional tool, not like all the other crap "convert" wannabe's who charge you money for what should be free.

To be safe, at the moment I'm starting this one at Q&A; but if enough useful info is gathered, or, if the mods see it fitting, I would like to move this thread to "General".
if i'm using some farmer terms, plz feel free to correct me so that the final summary is understandable for eveybody.
So the questions are:
1. Which video/multimedia player is the best for android?
- For example which one plays the most audio/video formats,
- Which one gives you the most flexibility as for screen size, zoom, aspect ratio.
2. Which (preferably free) converter to use?
2.1 What is the maximum capability of SGSII?
- How many bitrates etc. can it handle with its mighty processor? How many bitrates and other hd settings are necessary for sgsii.
Please comment
Try dice player..not free though but u can try it for a few days before purchase.

Only an answer to #2, no experience with other than the stock player (yet).
For conversions I use AviDemux.
It's multiplatform and some people I have referred to it reacted favourable as well.
Tried to get a full movie to the SII, no succes yet. (4GiB+).
Kind of curious myself if there is a filesystem which will allow that on a memorycard and leave it usable in the SII and Windows.
No best player for sgs2 ?????? i tried so many nth seems to work fully functional !
Im media playback fan my self, but just to lazy to make guides or explain alot.
1. My favorite players from market
mVideoplayer for daily use and
Diceplayer and or Moboplayer (for rare videos that don't work with hardware decoding and need software decoder)
2.0 I use MeGUI for video conversion encoding to MKV high profile x264.
2.1 SGS2 can playback "MKV high profile x264" 720p @ 60fps and 1080p @ 30fps
I use Handbrake (freeware) to convert my HD videos to 800x448 (or whatever aspect ratio the original video is) and 1000kbps (I don't use TVout, so I don't really need the extra resolution).
Since CM7's video player doesn't support subtitles which I need, I use MoboPlayer and mVideoPlayer to play my videos.
For reference, after I watched a 20min video encoded at the above settings (brightness was at ~50%), my battery lost 3-4% of its charge, which in my opinion is pretty good.

I've already tested both players that you mentioned above and I can't get get any subtitle on TV , just on the phone's screen. Any suggestions of players that can do what I need?
Ok I have a lot of movies I wanna put on the greatest smartphone ever .
I have a Never Back down in mkv format and a lot of other avi movies .
Which is the best/fastest video converter which would give me the exact 800x480 resolution converted movies with minimal output size .
Multiple suggestions would be appreciated .
Cheers !
I use one converter for 2 years, on many phones which I had, "Winavi Converter" You can convert almost all types of file. Hope this helps!
Get rockplayer and it will solve all your problems.
Galaxy S II supports both containers (avi and mkv) out of the box. Provided the video is MPEG-4 based and the audio is MP3 or AAC, you should be able to play them without conversion.
Of course, if you want to save space, you might want to re-encode the video at a lower quality. There are tons of tools. My favorite ones are those based on ffmpeg.
Here is such a tool:

i once read an article about this, it supply all information we need to copy DVDs to tab, below is the link, you may have a look:
DVD movies for Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 full-screen playback
ok, handbreak maybe good
i also try the brorsoft converter,the free trial version
both of them you can have a try
I know this is an old thread, but I have been using Freemake to rip DVD to any format you want. I was searching trying to figure out best format and found this thread. I did several movies with the "android" preset in Freemake, and they turned out very well. I am currently trying the MP4 preset. It takes a while to convert on my computer (like 4 to 5 hours) but the quality is good for both video and audio. The file sizes for a 3 hour DVD are around 2 to 3 GB.
I use MX Video Player to play the files on the tab. There are lots of options out there, and everyone has their opinions, but it works for me.
SUPER video converter: http://www.erightsoft.com/SUPER.html
This is decent stuff, not copied software with overnight packed malware. I use this converter since ages and it's probably as old as virtual dub.
Open source (I think) and free!
Okay guys, I don't know how many of u came from an epic to photon, but for those of u that did, I'm sure u noticed the stock video player sucks. If there anyway we could add the ability to play mkv files or any other format? The video plays but there's no sound....any ideas?
sent from my photon
I've been using MX Video Player from the market lately. It seems to support a lot of formats that the stock player does not.
Hi, first time android owner so just figuring things out. I downloaded mobo player and it works great and it allows me to play different video formats. I end up downloading movies and tv shows in flv format and copy them to my phone and it wokrs great. The built in player would not allow me to play them. I believe Mobo claime to play all video formats.
Try it out and let us know. And btw...sorry but i don't know what an mkv file is. I will google it though...peaceout!
thanks for the suggestions guys, i was looking to just stick to the stock video player, but i don't think that's gonna happen, mkv is just another file type, just like avi, mp4, just another video type. I downloaded Vplayer and that works fine for all video types, I just hate having multiple apps for one thing....I guess maybe i just got used to the epic stock video player. Well anyway thanks again, in case anyone else needs a suggestion on video players, Vplayer is good, but not a freeware. If you don't mind supporting the devs who make this stuff i recommend it.
Weather Channel Codecs for Photon
I downloaded The Weather Channel app, but the videos on it won't work like all the other videos I just spent three days trying to find the right codec info for. Is there ANYTHING I can download that will make them work since converting them isn't an option?
Here's what I have:
Stock Android
System Version: 45.3.6.MB855.Sprint.en.US
Android Version: 2.3.4
Build Number: 4.5.1A-1_SUN-198_6
Many thanks to anyone who can assist.
So just curious what is the best way to convert say a normal movie or TV show to a format that Fascinate will recognize in Moboplayer?
Any recommendations on what format I should convert it to?
Also what software should I use? Preferably free but I know that not always possible
Lots of variables here, so you may need to try a couple and see what formats you can play, and which codec you need to use for encoding. I have the best luck with MP4, since those always play in the stock video player without issue, I've just stuck with them.
I always use Avidemux, and VLC which are both free and cross platform. VLC alone will convert most file types.
What about mx video player?
Thanks for suggestions I am going to check them out.
what resolution should I make it? Isn't there an ideal one for our phone?
