Hey guys, Currently upgraded to a HTC Titan and im wanting to put some of my DVD's ive backed up on my HDD onto my titan.
Ive saved most of my 720p movies as AVI / AVCHD as my PC is also my media centre using XBMC and obviously Zune doesnt recognise them. What im wondering is the best Encoder to transform these into mp4 to play. And what settings i should use to get the most from the movies. Iv'e read i can use Windows Movie Maker to do this. There are 4 main options.
Save as
Windows Phone (large)
Windows Phone (small)
Zune HD
Zune Small
Im a bit torn between which setting, as i want to keep them as HD as possible. I would of thought Windows Phone large, But will this still be 720p? And the Zune HD says 720p but this has a 3.2inch screen doesnt it? Im clueless on this atm. Any advice is brilliant.
NOTE: No files are Warez, they are backups from original Bluray Discs and DVD's. This is mainly to take to bed with me at nights or on the train so i can keep occupied.

You should try qloud server, its not your answer, but you should give it a try. I am amazed how the program works and when you have a good pc you can stream everything you like with a good resolution (depends of bandwith and speed of your computer).

I'll definitely try this for when in at home. Laying in bed or letting the missus hog the tv. I'll have a gander on the market place and test it out.
On a side note, still the question stands of program to turn my avchd and mkv into mp4 and decent settings. Thanks for the replys up to now.
Edit: bloody Nora that's a nice app. And pretty darn cheap I must say. Will give it a full test over today
I use handbrake with The Iphone 4 default.

Here is one of the possible answer for you

hope it helps.
Why even convert? Just drag and drop on your phone using Zune. And let Zune do the work. It will convert to the best for the phone, which is always good as crap in my opinion. Plus it saves you the process of encoding.
Zune takes forever to convert stuff for me.

Hi,
Thinking of buying a hero...
Is it possible to play full size movie AVIs (700Mb, etc) without lag, without having to resize them to a smaller resolution?
I find that resizing them is such a hassle. Currently using a touch dual, and when that was initially released I couldnt play it unless resized. Felt pretty ripped off. Only when upgrade to wm6.5 came out, I could play em. My old HTC Magician handled them much better.
Anyway... just wanted to ask if anyone has tried it... before I buy another dud phone.
Thanks!
Surely I can't be the only person who cares about watching movies on my phone while travelling?
I am sure you are not, but most people resize them.....
not tried anything on the hero yet, as i only got mine yesterday, and wasn't goping to buy any apps for the one i borrowed from work!

AVI is a container and not a codec.
Like all mobile devices (correct me if I'm wrong), there is no h264 b-frame support. Transcoding is your friend. How hard is it to transcode all movies in a directory; Thats just one command line away, geez.
yeah its just one more thing needed to do.
each to their own i guess... but I'm the sort of person who likes to take as little steps / effort as possible to do something. ie searching for a contact and calling them... i'd like to know that I can call them with a few keypresses and done... rather than having to search through a whole list of names and finding the contact.
Also, I prefer to be able to keep files in the format I got them so I can transfer them to another machine if I need to, rather than have a resized file that is only of use to the phone.
Not too sure about the terminology (h264 b frame support) you used, but I had no trouble playing full sized rips on my HTC Magician from 5 years ago. But had trouble with the HTC Nike initially until one year later when I upgraded it to WM6.1.
Anyway, if anyone has had the chance to try it out... let me know thanks =)
I have resized and played on the hero with no issues. I have seen that in a review that it could skip if not resized. I would resize to the heros resolution
It might work better if the aspect ratio is the same, but by the time you do that you could be resizing.
What player are you using?
Thanks
I had some issues getting it to recognise some media formats, but got around by using ImTOO encoding software and used one of the preset profiles which recoded and resized to 320x480.
use handbrake, its so easy.
Second for handbrake. As far as I can tell from my testing, it doesn't like DivX files. It does like MP4 files, with meridian especially. A two hour file took about 20 minutes to transcode straight to the Hero, on my not-particularly amazing tri-core 3ghz phenom. Quality was excellent.
I'd say queue up a list in Handbrake and leave it running overnight.
I used to use fullsize avi's on my diamond but as yet I've not found a decent player on android so I've made the switch to converting to avi's at a fairly large picture size (I forget the exact ratio) & it plays fine in the native video player.
A bit bummed that I have to convert them but it works I guess

Been looking into that too...
Seems like they intend to, but are hindered by things out of their control (lack of Qualcomm drivers from HTC). Sounds like the same issue with my HTC Touch Dual when I initially got it.

Anyone happen to know what the bitrate/settings are of the preloaded Avatar movie? I'm trying to convert my bluray 720p down to a 480x800 friendly size, but it keeps looking like crap. Or, it'll look great, but end up being about 3.5gbs. I played with a Vibrant at the T-Mobile store and the copy of Avatar was crystal clear.
I gave up and ordered a 16gb class 6 micro sd card. Problem solved!
Though, if anyone does happen to find out the details, I'd still love to know.

What are you using to encode? I personally use RipBot with a variable bitrate. I set the encoder to mp4/avc (h.264), res to 800x480,and the average bitrate to 1500. These videos have looked excellent for me and should be more than enough.

Awesome, I'll try it out. I'm using Any Video Converter free.
Xilisoft Video Converter has been good to me over the past two or three years. It converted from DVD to a format my iPhone would read. Now all the movies I buy mostly have a digital copy so I don't use the software as much any more. My Vibrant plays back everything (MP4/DivX/WMV/H.264/H.263)that plays on the iPhone so no need to convert either.

You can't use the digital that comes with it. Its meant for iDevices or Windows media devices. I just use Handbreak to convert my videos and use a custom preset with the resolution of the phone and an average bitrate of 1200 and its good.

I hope when you say resolution of the phone you mean 1280X720, because there is no reason to go any lower unless the original file was not HD.

When I say the resolution of the phone, I meant 480 x 800. Unless your gonna output to the TV via DLNA or a Micro USB to HDMI cable, there is no point to have a 720p.
As of right now I found no way to look at the stats for the avatar movie since its a protected file...except that it is around 1gb in size, so by that I'm assuming the bitrate is anywhere from 1500-2000 if that helps...and the size must just be the size of the phone 800x480

I recoded a 4.13gb HD movie down to 2200 bitrate and it turned out 1.52gb... that was 1280x720 though. Avatar is (or should be) 800x480 so it may have a slightly higher bitrate... avatar.dcf is 1.40gb.
The included trailer is encoded at 1300ish kbits so its safe to assume that Avatar is also encoded at this rate.

I agree. I can drop the bitrate to well under 1000 for a basic DVD rip and it still looks great.
Hm, that could be it. I'll double check.
Update: Yeah, I setup RipBot correctly this time and it came out perfect. Bitrate's about 1350kbps @23fps. 800x450. 1.6gb. I don't think I had the h264 mp4 option selected at the bottom the first time.

Hello fellow Android Bros/ Sis!
I was searching through google and XDA and found myself here. I was really interested in the outcome of your video. My question is:
1) Was this video a conversion from a Blu Ray movie or a regular HD movie/ file?
2) What were your Audio Output settings?
Short History: I have both the Captivate and the Vibrant, and wanted to see if i could just use my Blu Ray Movie of Avatar to Rip and Convert for the Captivate since my Vibrant already has it. Plus i also wanted to be more familiar with Handbrake myself (have converted dozens of HD movies so far), but Blu Ray is an issue for me. As far as video, i can transcode no problem. Audio on the other hand, is either slow-distorted-muffled or no sound at all. Regardless of which audio codec i tried.
Thoughts?
WHAT UP, NICE avtar, HOW DID U PUT G.O.W IN YOUR PROFILE?
Avc is a horrible encoder. I had a crystal clear 1.5gig avatar file in aweird format that avc'ed and it came out with 200 megs in the ****tiest quality ever.

Really is all I can say if it only had surround sound then I would give it a 10 out of 10 but I will have to give it a 9.8. I used Pavtube Blu-ray Video Converter Ultimate to convert the Dark night and boy for 720p video its killer to be able to stream from my phone this quality. WOW But i used the One X profile and it out put 1280x720 i am sure i could get full hd later on but for a simple convert it it kills all other programs for the Evo Lte.
I really think its a great tool that if you used it the right way you could do about any thing. Yes its a little laggy but not by much when playing video it really does not see any of the lag at all. I really can not say more then WOW.

for a quick minute one time I was able to do this. stranegly enough I cannot not duplicate it...
anyhow, I did play a movie oncoded to 720p, 1500kbs, mp4 and it played nicely.
I'll try a better quality encode next time.

Yip works for me > better than watching the same on TINY 2-3inch screen with that R* display worth $'0000's....
Not really sure if you want to watch MOVIES - live eg from netflix streamin etc
So I also tried that ( have netflix Prem) and was ok speed via 4G ( since my house location dont have 4gLTE towers yet) I tried Streaming via WiFi - worked nicely and no lag - Screen is super nice when compared to my Wifes 'Snapple phone'....
And my note is ROOT & UNLOCKED to boot! There are lots of freebee's and or you can convert most by using 'convertor apps' I have all my Music Vid (not many mp3/4) nearly full of 32GB Card.
Works for me !!
I am not sure if 1080p movies will make a difference, but 720p sure looks good to me.
Just viewing the HD content on youtube is pretty good quality for a handheld device like the Note. Yea... the other phones... well... are just too small for me now that I have the note.
I put 720P Bluray rips on my phone. They look fantastic! I use MakeMKV to rip and then Handbrake to compress and get to H.264. I have a hard time seeing the difference between 1080P and 720P at home (sit about 11 feet from a 7ft diagonal screen) so I think 1080P would be overkill for the Note. Most of my Bluray rips are 1.5GB to 3.5GB after Handbrake so they don't take up too much room if you are running a 32GB or 64GB uSD card.

Thanks for clearing that up. I just put dvdrips on mine but maybe I should put some hd contents and try it out. I figured even though dvdrips' have smaller resolution compared to the note I thought since the size (5.3" is big for phone but let's be honest it's still relatively small screen) that I could "get away" with it. I personally had no problem watching dvdrips on my phone. However if that same file was to watch on my macbook air 13" (1440*900) it just looks so ugly. Anyways thanks, I'll try some 720p rips.

That's good and bad news.. Good that I can get better video quality out and bad that I just lost more than half of my storage to store movies..
Oh by the way, if you guys get a chance, google Seagate GoFlex Satellite. It definitely goes well with this phone. Now I have 16gb internal + 32gb external + 500gb wifi storage. It is freaking awesome to stream (my own) movies directly to the GNote (+ 8 other devices simultaneously of different contents). Since it transmits its own wifi network you can use it anywhere. It does run on 7hr battery but that does mean it is portable. And the price is pretty high ($200) for its storage space (500gb), but it was way worth the price to have that much content directly on my phone when I want it...
Aw damn, now I have to get bluerays?
I watch The Taint on my phone all the time, and it looks great. I takes up 1g and some change on my 32g sdcard but I don't mind. The Note's screen is beast when it comes to portable HD video.

I played an episode (avi) of Heroes with XBOX Music+Video (file was in \Videos when connected to my computer).
I also played a 720p episode (mp4) of Halo 4 - Forward Unto Dawn (also in \Videos).
I'm not sure about mkv, though.

I just bought the plex app for windows phone. You simply set up a server on your pc, scan in your media and voila, it's all on your phone. While it does transcribe the files on the fly, it has played ALL of my media over LTE and Wifi. Most of my videos are 720p mkv and I haven't had any issues. The app does have a few hiccups though but works as advertised for the most part.

It's unfortunate that it requires the use of internet access, though.
I'm thinking that my 2GB/month could be eaten up pretty quickly streaming movies.
It would, certainly, think that having a few movies on the phone would be a preferable way of watching.
Then, I could transfer them via Wi-Fi / USB to the phone, at the house, and watch them, on the go.
JJ
Edit...
I just did some calculating...
If 1mb/sec is a fairly standard 720p bitrate, that is roughly 125KB/sec.
2000000KB/sec / 125KB/sec = 16000 seconds
16000 / 60 seconds in a minute = 266 minutes
266 / 60 minutes in an hour = 4 hours
So, can watch two, maybe three, movies PER MONTH.
That's assuming that I do NOTHING ELSE, internet related.

These types of issues are the ones holding me back from switching to windows phone. The lumia 920 looks awesome, but i am too used to the freedoms + apps offered by android. Once these issues are sorted i would love to try out the newer nokia phones

Well you can manually set the streaming bitrate to lessen the data used. However I do see your point. For myself the only time I'm on data is when I'm driving. I use wifi near everywhere else. I'm sure it's just a matter of time before we see a full fledged player for windows phone though.
It is a bit disappointing that there is no MKV player available at this point. But, the most important thing to remember is this is a brand new phone. WP7 didn't do very well, and we all know WP6.5 and lower was just horrible to use effectively. WP8, and Win8 for that matter, are an evolution to what has been available from M$. The integration is amazing. Building apps for Win8 (and being successful) makes it much more appealing to make an app for WP8 (and easier since they are very similar). I would imagine you will see more come from developers soon enough. I expect VLC will do something.
Just read that VLC is beginning to develop for Win8 and WP8.

Hi, it looks promising but actually... there are none alternative?
My Lumia 920 plays AVIs with built-in player, but MKVs I remux with this -> http://www.apartmenttherapy.com/how-to-convert-mkv-to-mp4-for-135756
Remuxing 4,5GB 720p mkv movie -> 3,5gb 720p mp4 under 4min. 720p cartoon took 20sec to remux...
Nothing for MKV yet, similar to all the other OSs as far as I know. The codecs just aren't loaded right off the bat. I had to download VLC for my Android, and the same for my Win7 and Win8 computers. Will be here soon enough, just have to convert for the time being.
Newer HTC and Samsung (starting from 2010 i9000) android phones support mkv out of the box.

Any update on this one?
I would like to copy the avi (or any other video file) to the phone and play it from there. I dont want to stream it from PC.
Anyone has any idea how I can solve this?
I have HTC 8S (WP8).
