Is watching HDrip 1080p/720p worth it on galaxy note? Or is it overkill for the size of the screen. What do you guys use?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using xda premium
works for me
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.
Dude you have no idea how many blurayrips 720/1080 I've watched on this bad boy. Last blurayrip I watched was MI: Ghost protocol and let me tell you I was able to see every wrinkle on Tom Cruises face. (Damn we are old getting old loll)

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.

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.

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.

Why would anyone use that much storage in a tablet... Lol! Unless your the guy with 3600+ ripped (pirated movies) who wants to put a 64gb micro in the tablet and. A 128gb in the dock plus a external SSD!
Why wouldn't you just get a wireless drive?

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.

Or the simple answer of "I have videos in 1080p, because I like to watch them on my 1080p capable home hardware, and don't want to have to re-encode them to watch them on my tablet... I just want to throw them on and go."
The 1080p playback is the biggest reason I'm upgrading from a Galaxy Tab 10.1. I want buttery smooth video!
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?
crap, i need to go buy a new cable too!
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.

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.

Can anyone provide the best Handbrake settings for ripping DVDs?
I'm interested in opinions as well on this matter.
-
Back when I had my Captivate I used these settings:
http://capfaq.com/w/Transferring_movies_from_DVD
I put these movies on my Note and they're all still excellent quality. I was assuming that the quality my suffer due to the Note's large size, but it's still great. And with these settings, I'd say about 75% of the movies I encoded were less than a gig and most less than 900MB.
Am I missing something? What does this have to do with the Note?
The note...being sent down to us by the gods (why...what gods you ask? Ill tell ya...the AMOLED gods, the robot gods, and the HD gods...and they frown on crabbiness.) and being so well endowed, is quite the media consumption device. What the OP was trying to figure out...was how he might best take advantage of such a wondrous and surely godly device.
And the movie industry...being ungodly as they are, makes an all-hands-on-deck effort to obfuscate and obscure any clearly delineated path to enjoying popcorn-tasting-finger-licking-goodness on the go. For this is their only purpose in life..besides, making movies, of course.
I might add...high profile is. Lovely. On the same subject... I've only used CIFSManger and allshare in combination with TVersity to play media...i use Netflix on the go. But Im curious as well...does anyone know which format and container is required to play native HW decoded video on the note? Does the container event matter? I know i can usually find a video player that can play any video file, but i have issues with .Mkv the most...and the pseudo-5.1 audio and the native player is nice....real nice.....really really niiiiiiiiiiiiiccccccccceeeeeee.
HW decoding is always a plus. And its easier on the battery too.

I was just wondering if anyone had encoded any of their DVDs to play on the Note. I've used Handbrake previously to watch movies on my Captivate and thought someone might have played around enough to have optimal settings for the Note. Using the settings I had for my Captivate, the picture/sound quality is pretty great on the Note.
I use MakeMKV for both blu rays and dvds. (correct me if im wrong) as far as i know, it's like flac. Compresses the video with no loss of quality in both video and audio.

For me its abuot file size. While I have been able to get a 64gb card to work on the GNote, I still am limited by the fat32 4gb restriction, so I am interested in settings for compression. I have many downloaded files bigger than 4gb.

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.

I'd love to be able to do other tasks (send sms, look up reviews on the imdb app and so forth) while watching the movie on TV. just like that demo I saw on YT of the One X over the MediaLikn HD

anyhow, I did play a movie oncoded to 720p, 1500kbs, mp4 and it played nicely.
I'll try a better quality encode next time.
but, yh, love this thing! can't beat the no cables covenience

so far I love it also!
I'd love to be able to do other tasks (send sms, look up reviews on the imdb app and so forth) while watching the movie on TV. just like that demo I saw on YT of the One X over the MediaLikn HD

Most tasks, if you want them to stay on the tv, you have to three finger swipe up when on that screen, like the music app.

I love the media link, I have downloaded tv shows and it streams great, I use it with all kinds of players.
The only bug is that to get 3g and media link to work you have to edit ur build.prop to enable tether

I wish these weren't so pricey. $60 is my price point...

I just picked mine up today. It's okay...but I think I'm going to return it. $90 is a bit steep price wise and it lags a little too much for me. Plus Netflix plays on both the phone and the TV through this not just the TV so you have to leave your phone's screen on, which I dislike.
