I've tried to get a movie to my microsd card in order to have it in my Razr. The movie is about 5gb and i couldn;t copy it. I was getting error regarding FAT32. Is there a way to make my microsd card NTFS and be compatible with Razr(rooted)?
I doubt you will be able to get NTFS to be recognized by Android. Maybe try EXT3. Then the hard part is getting Win 7 to recognize the EXT3. Should work in a VM or possibly with ext2fsd (maybe install and run in XP mode)?
hmm?
why dont u stick the microSD to ur RAZR, and as long as the RAZR recognizes it, plug ur phone to ur Windows PC USB, select "USB Mass Storage", and drag-n-drop.

Try down sampling the file Ti something less than 4gb..

It's an avi 720p movie. The only thing i thought is cracking it to two smaller parts. My question is why to have a micro hdmi out when the file system doesn't support so big files?

5GB is WAY too big for a movie, period. I have 2 TB of full length feature films and NONE of them are over 2GB in size and I watch them on a 60" LED TV.
So you need to re-encode that movie and any other movie you have to something more "NORMAL" for your intentions.
use a program called HandBrake, encode to .Mp4. If you're not familiar with this area of expertise I go read up on it.
another poster was right, FAT32 is 4GB limit. You can't format a MicroSD to NTFS.
Regardless, no video should be 5GB, unless you've combined all three Lord Of The Rings movies into one long 9 hour film, into one AVI container.. lol who would do that? >.>

I disagree. I have 2TB loaded up with Blu-Ray Rips (that I share on my network using PS3 Media Server). I rip then re-encode them to x264, 1080p, keep original frame rate, AC3 5.1 audio, in a MKV container. My file sizes are 8gb (so I can fit them on a dual-layer dvd that can be played and saved on a PS3). I found this to be the best final result. I have used Handbrake but I found better results with XVID4PSP.
If you can't see a difference between your rips and an original blu-ray then that's great for you but I'm sure most people would see a huge difference. There's no way to compress a movie that is 30gb in size to something smaller than 5gb without a huge drop in quality.

Some people don't want to reduce the quality by recompressing, or spend the time doing it. Storage is cheap, at least to me. Period. Exclamation point.

First if all this is a waste of time. There is no reason to play this file on your phone. Code the file in the resolution of the qhd display. You are not losing anything in the quality of the movie when it is displayed on your razr.

Bummer, think I remembered wrong, its only supported on android tablets.
Think there is a thread though to make it supported somewhere on XDA....
Anyways, if you want to watch it on your phone then rather re-code...but if you wanna movies on TV through an HDMI cable...its gonna be tough with fat32
I tried exFat with ICS on the Razr and it still doesn't natively support it. Shows the Damaged SD Card and prompts to format.
Bringing this back from the dead, did anyone find a work-around here? The 4GB file size limit is a bit of a pain for those of us doing 1080p rips to display via the HDMI out. I could put these files on the Nexus no problem, and this may be an area where Razr loses out big time.

I thought the razr HDMI out only supported 720p res, so While I agree with the concept (as I have several 1080p rips around 8 gigs myself) 1080 is simply more then the phone will output thru the HDMI.
I understand the problem, but I'm still a bit unsure as to *why* it's a problem. Why on Earth are you using your phone to output 1080p files to your TV? You spent $200-$600 on a phone to do something like this when you could spend under $100 to get a device that does it better, easier, and more effectively?
Get a cheap Roku or WD Live player. Hell, get an AppleTV and enjoy it. There's no way around the FAT32 limitation (none...at all), so look for another solution.
how about trying wireless transfer over wifi? (dunno if the 4gb limit still applies..) or perhaps a better way would be to try a file splitter n split it into half n once both parts have been transferred to memory card to join them back again??
hope it helps!!
I saw somewhere in RAZR forum ntfs.ko module to mount NTFS partition, I'm not sure if it's working with SD-CARD. It's compiled for 2.3.6 so I'm also not sure if it's work with ICS.
Just search for ntfs.ko

Now that we have the ability to use the 8gb cards on our 6800/Mogul/Titan.
Will the patch that enabled the use of 8gb cards on these phones work with cards with the size of 12gb or 16gb?
Or will our phones need new software to allow these new cards?
From what I have read on the forums, SDHC cards can be up to 32 GB and the patch will handle them up to that size.

Thanks for the input on how long it takes to copy I thought I was having an issue for a minute there.
What do you use to convert? How do you set your settings for resolution?
I am new to this movie bussiness so I am still trying to figure out what will look the best on this little screen. I hate full screen movies so all mine are widescreen and I am trying to figure out where the happy medium is for croping etc.. I have my video rip set at 400K and audio at 128K with Framerate at 30.
How much difference in quality do you think it would make to drop the video and audio down.

I use SPB Mobile DVD. It is very easy to use.. it's like a -- b -- c and done. I convert mine to AVI and put it into Wide Screen mode too. To play my videos I use TCPMP player. My video quality is great, but since the volume on the 6800's suck I had to download the SRSWOWHD CAB which with proper configurations it increases the overall volume by 25% I think. But now i can watch and hear movies well on my XV6800.
update
I dont trim my movies either or lower the volume or anything like that. I still get a small video size.
As the title...
Early on I was trying to directly put them on the phone storage, but since the file system is also FAT32, there is a size limit of 4GB, so the uploaded video file is incomplete and cannot play properly, so I'm wondering if there is someway to put those 7G+ files onto the phone without cutting them... Thanks
You need to use KIES. It'll chop up the file into two parts automatically when you move it over.

So I did use KIES to move it over, first used the "transfer to device" option in the KIES library, then instead used the "sync" option in the connected device panel, both will only give me half of the mkv file, instead of two cut parts, so could you explain a bit more in detail? Thanks
Why do you want to put a 1080p movie on your phone? You realise the res of the screen isn't even 720p? Just convert it down to 720p and you wont even notice a difference.
There's a huge difference between SD and 720p though obviously. 720p to 1080p is largely unnoticeable on the phone though and just a waste of space.

yeah you have a point, but sometimes 720p movies do come with a size bigger than 4GB as well, then someway of proper transfer is still needed...
Honestly I'd say if you're going to convert the video anyway, why not convert it to the screens native resolution. Same quality, less processor usage so better battery life, and then you don't need to split the file (since i dont think any 800*480 resolution video file should reasonably surpass 4gb )

Anyway you can use "mkvtoolnix" or any other similar program to split the mkv video and then put in the phone.

Hi
I have split 3 1080p movies in part on 3.5 GB with mkvmerge
In PC it's OK 100%
But in GSII, I have no audio.
In my Samsung TV, there is an error message (DLNA)
Any one have successfully split a 1080p movie and watch it on a TV ?
thx
I have no audio too on MKV files.
What seems to be the problem?!

The included player doesn't support DTS, so that could be the problem.
Hey, I have got a question concerning the SD card file system. Apparently, the sgs2 only supports Fat32, which has a maximum file size of 4gb... Now, the sgs2 also supports 1080p hd videos. How am I supposed to transfer a 1080p video (which is usually about 8gb or more) to my sd card?
change it to mp4
by using freemake
Thanks for your hint. However, converting mkv to mp4 will make it smaller but the movie will almost certainly lose quality. So this is not an option for me. Is there really no chance to transfer files that are bigger than 4gb???
how about splitting the movie in multiple smaller parts?
Might just be worth formatting your external sd card via PC as ext 4 and see if phone reads it .

Yeah tried NTFS and exFAT, but no success... don't know how to format as ext4, since I am using windows. Can someone with linux try it? Or is there a way to format it via windows?
Splitting the video is working, but yeah... not the best choice in my opinion. However, here is nice tutorial: http://www.logichaos.com/joomla/guides/35/60-how-to-split-mkv-to-multiple-mkv-files.html
i would almost certainly create a phone version rather than keep if full hd and waste 75+% of the detail. If you did a transcode to actual phone res then the file size will/should be 25% or less of orig size, and you will possibly get a visual improvement if there is a 1:1 ratio for the phone.

Tell u what, will boot into linux and try it cause now I'm curious
You could put the 8GB movie on the internal memory instead of the SD card.
[EDIT] NVM. I thought the internal memory was formatted differently. I'm sure I read somewhere it formatted as ext4 or exFAT. :/
And the result : No joy ext3/4
Can It really use the sdxc cards?
The biggest one I see that u can buy is 128gb.
Its half the price of the tablet.
Id hate to see how much a 2tb one would cost.
Should be able to. SDXC just has an SDHC card formatted with exFAT. Just reformat the card to FAT32 and it should work fine. Though, from that I read, the Prime should support FAT32, exFAT, and NTFS. So the card may just work. If you only use windows, then exFAT will be fine. If you use Linux or Mac, you may want to settle for FAT32.
They should really advertise exFAT support considering SDXC cards can go up to, what, 2TB? I know we probably won't be seeing cards of that capacity during the life cycle of this tablet, I don't think it's too unreasonable to expect 256GB MicroSD by the end of next year... SDHC won't support that :/ The only go up to 32GB.

Hi-Def movies are consistently large files. 720p videos are roughly 2-4 gigs and 1080p videos are always over 5-6 gigs.
And before I get the obligatory, "Why would you want to watch a 1080p video on a 720p screen brah, herp derp," it's because I am constantly going over to different friends' or family's' houses and watching movies or videos by hooking up my laptop via HDMI. My laptop, however, is a huge honker with a **** battery life, so I have to look for somewhere to set it carefully and with good ventilation, that is both in reach of the HDMI cable AND a power outlet because my battery will die before a movie is over. With the Transformer Prime, I can place it somewhere much easier because of size, the battery won't die, and the Tegra3 can decode high profile hi-def with ease.
Remember, everyone's usage patterns aren't the same as your own.

if you're buying the dock, you can also hook up a usb hard drive for some cheap (relatively cheap at least, with all the supply issues for hard drives going on right now) storage options.

Thank you, the thread somehow morphed into defending the need for 1080p decoding, from the op's title: "Memory Cards" I do find it all pretty fascinating though, and since I recently upgraded to a nice 52" 1080p, I think this will be just the ticket for some occasional "can your tablet do this?" show & tell. Of course, now I have to go grab a nice micro HDMI cable after grabbing a mini HDMI for TF101 that I just sold. Thanks a LOT Asus, lol! No biggie though.
On the battery life issue, if my TF101 is any indication, you will not be looking for a power outlet anytime soon. With Keyboard dock attached, I would have benn able to watch 3-4 full length movies on a charge, no kidding here. What I really want to know, like a lot of folks is if exFat will work or not, else I will have to do Fat32, I imagine, since I live a a house of windows, Win Home Server, Media Center Server, and 3 laptops.
I hope the retailers have extra staff working when these start showing up via UPS & FedEx on people doorsteps, cause everyone who didn't receive their order will be on the horn: Where T F is my %[email protected]& Prime!!! LOL!
wait, this thing uses a micro hdmi? not the same as on the TF101?

Hello gentlemen and ladies...
I am wondering if it is yet possible to have a format on my micro sd card that will let me play files larger then 4 gb in size. My intentions are to use my phone as media player, as i would like to buy a miracast device so i can do wireless streaming to my 1080p projector, or take it on the road with me to stream to a hotel HDTV, in full resolution.
I have a galaxy S2 phone with 32 gb micro sd size (would like to upgrade to a larger size), and just upgraded to jelly bean...
My question, is this possible, and if yes could someone tell/show me how i might be able to accomplish this feat? (the ONLY thing that bothers me about android is the 4gb limit, with phones being able to play 1080p movies it makes little to no sense to me!)
Thanks for you time
