People here like to recommend Handbrake for some reason. I feel it is over complicated and overkill if all you want is to convert for you mobile device. If you already have it or know how to use it then by all means continue to do so.
If you want the absolute simplest option go to freemake.com and get Freemake Video Converter. Just point it at you source files, hit "to Android" --> "Large Screen" and start the conversion. It is that easy.
I tried handbrake but it takes a long time to convert... the one i use is call pavtube video dvd converter ultimate very good quality and also has presets for different phones n such has option samsung fascinate which is basically the same thing as vibrant. i have transformers 2 bluray n others on my vibrant and keeps the quality...down side is u have to pay for it.
there is also the trial but it keeps the logo in the middle which is annoying so i bought it worth the price

Freemake is (as the title alludes to) completely free. It is not adware, trial ware, upgrade ware or anything else. Freemake makes a handful of programs and they are all true freeware with nothing to buy or upgrade to ever.
The time to transcode depends on your hardware as transcoding is very CPU intensive. Some software can offload a bit of that to the video card, but only if both the video card and the software support it.

i tried this freemake software and i liked that it had very simple ui. only thing was that this program increased the size of the video file added about 400mb to a 700mb video file. i still prefer pavtube because it lowers the size of the file greatly. granted you have to pay but still gives you a good amount of wiggle room in terms of space. Converted a 10gig ripped bluray movie to about 2gigs.
i use dvdfab 8 1 click convert to mp4 done awesome pic and sound on my vibrant
Hi, why not just use the Kies software, true that it is not really available for the American versions, however it is still downloadable and functional for such tasks as converting any video to be playable on your galaxy s phone. Very simple to use, also it can back up your contacts, messages, videos and pictures.

Why not just directly copy it to sd card and play it? its in mp4 format so it should run, i mean the vibrant is one of the few phones that can play hd avi and mkv files perfectly fine without having to convert it
I tried freemake for the first time and had a few issues with it. For one, when playing on my phone the movie did not fill up the entire screen. Number two, the audio was on Spanish. This is especially a problem because I do not speak Spanish. So I guess ill stick to handbreak.

Hello Guys,
Just wanted to know if Dell Streak can play 1080p or 720p Videos or not?
I tried playing mp4/ avi files using Rock Player, they worked with lag, is there any work around?
Have you enabled the hardware acceleration in the build.prop?
Sent from my Dell Streak using XDA App
I convert them to .mp4's to watch on my Streak.
The Streak is only 800x480 so theres no point trying to play a 1280x720 video.
A converted 720p .mkv file is soooo much better quality than its .avi counterpart.
I use the Touch HD Encoder, a very simple and effective program.
Can I ask what program u guys use to convert the video files?
Sent from my Dell Streak using XDA App
i use Rock Player from Market to play video files; i try 720p and 1080p mkv movies with subtitles and works perfect 100%, like on computer with hd video card .
there is a great program in the forum called "Encoder" - I have used it to convert videos to mp4 for all my previous phones to play without any lag.
I use arc media player, not come across a file yet that it wont play, everything from avi, to mkv to mp4, in any definition. Great apparently and its free!
Sorry if this is OT:
I am having issues getting my DVDs converted to digital on my desktop. I was trying to use handbrake, but it always came out funny (jagged sound and large rainbow pixels across the screen). I assume this is some kind of copyright protection.
Right no I am desperate to convert my library to digital back ups that I can toss on and off my devices at will. Any insight on how to solve my problem would be great.
I used Handbrake without any probs - did you choose the best settings? I used Presets Normal, Video Codec Mpeg-4 & Picture Size Custom - I resized using Aspect Ratio.
I followed a couple guides online. I m not even talking about it getting to the phone, it won't even play on the desktop.
So far I ve used these settings:
720x480
264
mp4
EDIT: Just for clarity. Should I be using VLC since Handbrake does not decrypt? (I read this after a google search please inform me if I m wrong).
you can play 720p [email protected]

Hi
Can you let me know how you got this to work
I tried to use the Dice Players directions
http://diceplayer.inisoft.co.kr/news-and-tips/howtoremovenexus-1h264codecrestrictions
I get as far as trying to backup the original codec module and keep getting a Permission denied message
Any help would be much appreciated
Many thanks
I know a lot of you are thinking this has been addressed before but my problem isn't getting the video to play in entertainment center mode but the audio.....
But the thing is that it will only play sound in video's i recorded with my camera.
What im trying to do is play videos that i have taken from my computer and put them onto my ext sd card.
So like i say the video is just fine but it will not play back with audio.
Oh and they are avi and mpeg formats
Any ideas guys and gals?
The Tegra 2 seems to have crappy video/audio codec support. The samsung processor in the captivate I had previously played everything I could throw at it.
Thankfully, the T2 is powerful enough to do some software decoding. Try using various video players. I find that MoboPlayer can run all my HD videos so far.
Also, just because a file is .Divx, .AVI, .mkv.... doesn't mean that it will play. As far as I know, there are different encoding formats and levels for each codec. The T2 seems to be okay with any basic file, but none of the highly processed files such as movie mkv's.
If you try download another programe in market you would can see
But we can't do the dane for media center....so the better you can do for now is convert your vídeo tio an old codec

did you get any feedback??
I've been using Handbrake and the settings from here:
http://www.knowyourcell.com/motorol...d_transfer_them_to_the_motorola_atrix_4g.html
The only difference is that I like to click the "keep aspect ratio" button in handbrake for the resolution. Tweak as you like, but I've found that if you use the constant quality setting, A/V gets out of sync. Biggest bummer is that I have to encode specifically for the Atrix...can't seem to use my "advanced encoded" videos from my media server. I have taken previously encoded 1080p HD movies back though handbrake with the referenced settings to the Atrix and they play beautifully both in MoboPlayer and the Entertainment Center.
Hi all,
I recently jumped the bandwagon and installed ICS leak on it. Tried Dagr8 Alpha 1 and 2. I also tried Collective. I really love those leaked roms (except maybe Alpha 2, so much lag in my case).
I need help with MX player. One of the biggest reason I bought the note was to watch a lot of my anime series when in the bus going to work/from work. I download animes in MKV format and the subtitles there are embedded. The anime I download are usually 1080p and 720p. I download this video size because sometimes I watch it on my computer too. So I just download it at large sizes so I can watch it anywhere with good quality.
Anyway, when I installed ICS and installed MX player, I'm having horrible out of sync with audio/video. It also gets worse when you watch the video longer. Sometimes out of sync takes a 4-second difference.
If I change from Hardware acceleration to Software, out of sync goes away but the playback is sooo laggy that you can't watch it too. ** Oh maybe not totally go away, as I just experienced right now (while typing this) that I had an out of sync issue even in software decoder. **
I never had any issue with GingerBread. All my anime video plays fine even in 1080p. I have not tried converting to Mp4 but I don't think it will make sense because it was working before with GB. I have a lot of anime and converting it would be a pain for me. Maybe there is a trick that I can do in ICS to fix this issue.
Are you guys also having out of sync issues with some videos in MX player? If not, please try playing videos in MKV with embedded subs and let me know.
I really want to stick with ICS. This is the only reason I'm going to go back to GB before I get to work on monday Please help, I really don't want to go back to GB anymore.
Thanks
bumping thread.
or maybe others can suggest a player that is like MX that uses hardware acceleration to play clips.
Mobo Player does not and I can't find any other player out there that uses HW accel for playback.
Thanks

Although I haven't watched any anime since I flashed ICS, my mx player has had no issues with any movies I've played. I'll download an anime movie and let you know.
Have you tried clearing the data/cache or even reinstalling?

Thanks. That would be awesome. I'm actually looking for a 1080p mkv movie video (even trailers will do) so I could just test it without subs. Surprisingly I can't find one .. lol.
If you are going to download, try mkv animes + embedded subs. I did other test with some other animes and noticed that not are all the same. Although all of anime have audio/video/subs sync issues but some of them only has .5 seconds lag. Some 2 seconds, extremes are 4 seconds. I would assume that whatever is causing this, is how the anime was encoded but when I play it with Gingerbread, not a single sync issue happens. So its either the ICS leak or MX Player.
Thanks again. Looking forward for your test results

Just downloaded ninja scroll episodes to test. The files are mkv with English subs. Everything seemed to be in perfect sync, but hard to tell on a subtitled video.
Just so you know, these are 65mb files so they're not of the highest quality but everything runs fine in terms of audio sync.

Thanks for the test. Yup, I failed to mention that if its 480p .. its fine. Whenever you raise the bar to 720p or 1080p videos then its a different story.
I still have few hours to test. Thanks for spending time and testing it

Ok so I downloaded ghost in the shell 2.0 and it's 720p mkv format. The mx player would not use hardware encoding to play it, but it played via "sw encoding (fast)".
I loaded up the subtitles and let it run. I skipped several places every 20 minutes or so to test. It played with no issues, audio and video were in sync with the subtitles.
You may want to try software encoding (fast) on your mkv files, maybe that'll work for you as well. You can adjust the encoder in the settings.

Ok I will try to do it. Maybe tomorrow since I already flashed back to GB. I only used software decode (not the fast one). But its weird that you don't have HW playback. hmmm. All my videos played in HW acceleration fine, of course except the audio/video sync.
Hmm ..
I actually found something interesting. MX player has issues with some subtitles with our leak ICS.
I tried Dice Player which also uses HW acceleration and I don't have any issue with the same video.
I also tried other ICS video players that use HW and there are no issues.
So, i think its just MX player.

Any recommendations on apps for ripping and converting dvd movies for watching on a Tablet S?
Aside from copyright issues (let's not even go there) I travel a lot and it would be far easier to take a handful of SD cards with my favourite movies or TV shows on them than lug a box of DVD's half way around the world with me.
I have seen people put movies on their iPads but I don't want to have to pay to download a movie that I already own on dvd just so I can watch it on my tablet.
Advice appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
Sent from my Sony Tablet S using xda app-developers app
For the conversion I would recommend MediaCoder. It's the most versatile tool. The target format would be mp4 (H.264, Baseline Profile).
Supported Video Formats for the Tablet S and the built-in players:
H.263, Profile0, max. 704x576, max 4 Mbps, .mp4;.3gp
H.264/AVC, Baseline Profile, max. 1920x1080, max 10 Mbps, .mp4;.m4v;.3gp
MPEG-4, Simple Profile/Advance Simple Profile, max 1920x1080, max 10 Mbps, .mp4;.3gp
WMV, Simple Profile/Main Profile, max 1920x1080, max 10 Mbps, .wmv
Thanks for that.. Anyone have any thoughts on rippers and/or combined ripping and conversion software applications?

I use Freemake, very simple to use and good quality.
If you haven't yet put mx player on your tab, it will play most formats

Check out Slysoft's CloneDVD Mobile. It is one of the best rip-and-convert softwares you'll find and well worth its price. For ripping/copying protected DVDs, you'll also need to use SlySoft's AnyDVD HD, which is also well worth its price. I have used all of SlySoft's softwares (except Game Jackle) for several years and have yet to find a DVD they failed to handle.

Thanks - Freemake seemes to be doing an ok job right now - though some stuff it struggles to convert. Also, I have tried to change the dimensions in Freemake so that there is less letterbox and more image on the screen but everytime I do it crashes.
Will check out the Slysoft stuff but it seems a bit expensive for the convenience.

Well, I don't know if I understood your problem.
The crash maybe is due to a problem in your PC.
Personally, I normally choose MKV format and HD 720p quality for my rip's.
Hope this can help you!
I use Handbrake, although may check out Freemake, to convert.
I also use DVD43 as well, never failed yet, for those copy protected DVD's

I second this, MX Player is a great app for playing those video files like .avi, .mpg, and .mkv that most movies come in these days. Perfect for watching my anime's xD
I do try to watch video full hd 720 however I can not if
Another one for mx player here, one of the only apps on the market that fades out the icons on the notification bar just like the sony stock app.
