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.
Thank you.

Yeah use NERO or any other product that converts dvd's into .avi's and mount your sd card to your computer and add the movie to videos folder
another awesome program (for computer) is "youtube downloader" I found out it does vimeo videos as well. Rips it straight to .mp4 h264
A tad off topic but had to get that out
You could use DVD decryp then use movie converting software

Or you can use handbrake it's free and since you have the digital copy you can convert the movies.
Dvd ripper works great

If you Copy them to your Computer, you could then just Copy them to your Sdcard! I Believe?

MPG and AVI are not video formats, they are containers. It's the codec that matters.

This may be a stupid question but how can I put movies onto my TB? I have some on my comp but when I move them to the sd card they will not play. Any help will be great, thanks!

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.

For those of you who have a collection of SBS (side by side) MKV files for your 3D HDTV or whatever...her is the method for converting them for the EVO 3D.
Sorry if this has been posted somewhere, but I couldn't find it.
First use Handbrake to convert the MKV files to .mp4 or .m4v
Instructions here:
http://www.knowyourcell.com/htc/htc-evo-3d/evo-3d-guides/835578/how_to_convert_videos_and_transfer_them_to_the_htc_evo_3d.html
Then drop the files in a folder called Video on your SD Card (probably work in any folder but this is what i did).
Use your GALLERY app to browse videos in the folder you created. Play the video. It will look regular (just two pictures side by side) but if you press MENU then VIEW IN 3D...voila...you're watching your downloaded MKV on your EVO 3D.
thanks. worked perfectly.
I haven't come across many SBS rips though.. even on scene releases..

When converting in Handbrake where it says audio, you'll have to change the audio output from AAC or whatever to 'Stereo'.

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.

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.

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
but
I personally using rockplayer lite and it does work with almost every thing especially if you use "play with hardware acceleration" then every thinh up to 3.5 gb film is work pefectly

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??

Hi,
What is the best program to play movies and subtitles for XPS?
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.
