Hi,
I was wondering whether it's possible to use SGS3 as an external video display and stream video for example from dSLR camera (live view) and display it on the phone?
recording is not required I just want to use SGS3 as an external display.
Any help would be much aprpeciated.
Thanks
Tom
Anyone?

Hi all.
I was wondering if you guys know if it's possible to change any settings in the video recording app in x10 mini (android 2.1) ? The ideal for me would be able to record in anything other than 3gp. I have also searched the market for an app which converts 3gp to another format (on the phone I mean) but didn't find anything.
The reason I want to do this is because I have found a pretty great free app, which I recommend to everyone, which is called TwonkyServer Mobile : it transforms your phone into a DLNA server, so you can directly view photos, music and videos that are on your phone to your TV through any other DLNA device such as XBOX, PS3, Bravia TV, media centers, etc...
It amazes all the people to who I demoed this : you take a pic from your phone, launch twonkyserver, and BOOM it's on your TV
It would be so great of I could do the same with videos, but 3gp formats are not recognised by most media centers...
try lgcamera from the market it can record in mp4 and avc..
thanks dude !! will try it tonight and let you know how it went ;-)
Dude ! The LG app is unusable, it crashes all the time, I cant use this.

X10 with Twonky Media Server
Hi,
I am able to stream Music -mp3 and Pictures - Jpeg in my Bravia(40Ex710), but no videos yet
Could you help me in this
Media Server :Twonky -Xperia X10
Thanks in Advance
I still have the same problem. The issue comes from the fact that the phone only records videos in 3gp format, and the TV does not have the 3gp codec to read it. There are only 3 solutions :
- wait for bravia update to have a 3gp codec (and this might take forever).
- find another video recording app working on the x10 mini which can record in another format such as MP4 (but I haven't found it).
- find another app which can convert 3gp to mp4 on the phone (can't find it either).
If any of you guys have a clue for this, I would be very thankfull.
Hello all,
I have copied an .mpg file (which has been created from miniDV camcorder 1440 X 1080 50i 25mbps) into microSD card.
i tried to play it with many video player with no luck.
I found one player (Rockplayer lite) which work BUT with problem.
At the horizontal pannings there is a deinterlacing issue, (horizontal lines) which is no normal. Except of this problem, the video plays smoothly.There is a setting called Software Decoding/ Hardware decoding.
If I select hardware decoding I take an waring message: The file cannot be played with system player , so the video does not even start!
Do you know if there is a video player which support Hardware decoding?
Thanks in advance
Horizontal lines in interlaced video are normal. Player has to have special deinterlacing algorithms to suppress that.
I have also tried moboplayer with no luck

There is no decoding-hardware for MPEG1/2 in Exynos (nor in any other recent SoC for mobile-phones), so hardware-decoding is not possible.
You need a software-decoder that does deinterlacing as well, but I´m not sure if the CPU is powerful enough to do this in HD-resolutions, but it could be possible, as MPEG2 isn´t that demanding.
But it definitely will need a lot of energy, so to save power it is probably best to convert the video in format with hardware-support, and do the deinterlacing on your computer as well. If you just plan to watch it on your phone, you could simply throw away one field. Each field still has a high of 540 pixels, which is way over the 480 pixels of the display, so you won´t see any quality-advantage having both fields available to display on your phone, it would just burn more battery.
thanks for the reply. I have hundreds of family videos in .mpg (converted from miniDV) which play smoothly with PC or any Media Player.
So, I don't think it worth converting all these videos for watching them to phone.
P.S. I think it's time to get a new camcorder using card for instant drag 'n drop playback.

Are you sure of that? You may try this: open a player (i.e. moboplayer) take a screenshot (home+power) of a video file i.e. mkv. You 'll see that the entire picture will be black (blank) because of hardware acceleration. If you select from the settings of moboplayer, software decoding and take again a screenshot , you 'll notice that the picture is OK (furthermore you'll also notice that there is a stuttering in video playback).
I believe that this is a proof that the phone can handle a hardware decoding.

Sure, you won´t have all your videos on the phone anyway, so you can do a conversation if you need it.

Well, I have to disappoint you again. New camcorders which use cards to store the videos usually use AVCHD. The media-framework currently doesn´t support the TS-container which is used (in different variants) for example on BD, for DVB-broadcasting and AVCHD as well.
There is currently no way on Android to use hardware-acceleration if the container is not supported.
So you will have to use software-decoding as well, which certainly can not be fast enough when using MPEG4-AVC in HD-resolutions.
So, there will be no instant drag-and-drop either, but at least we can hope for some firmware-update to include support for AVCHD, and of course you can always remux AVCHD-files in one of the supported containers, like mp4 or mkv, because the codecs are already supported.

Of course there is a DSP in the SoC to accelerate decoding of several media-formats.
But the video-processor decodes several types of MPEG4, it certainly can´t decode MPEG1/2.
Assuming that you want enjoy MPG files on Galaxy S II, S III, S IV, you'll need to get some help from 3rd-party video player app like mxplayer or 3rd-party video converter software like Brorsoft's Video Converter to convert MPG files to H.264 or MPEG-4 encoded MP4 videos for Samsung Galaxy.
Nice find on digging out this thread. And four years later, that was a quick response. :facepalm:

Is there a way, that an app can use camera chip to convert videos? When I record video in 1080p and want convert this in my laptop to 640p, comp will huff and puff and work for few hours to do this.
And here is my idea - if I put video through HDMI to fullhd TV and record it with another phone in 640p, the whole process will only take time needed to view material.
Is there a way to stream data from SD card to video chip and record output in the phone memory?
Almost there...
Not a direct solution to you but...
You could play the video in full hd from your mobile, and record it on your computer just as you mentioned, but you'll need a video capture device/board for this, on your PC. If I recall correctly, it's not particularly expensive, nor complex (you may find usb versions).
Cheers.
Hi,
Need some help regarding video Player for galaxy S3. Looking for a application that supports .VOB file playback also with option to screen mirroring with my TV SONY BRAVIA W650.
I went through many apps that supports .VOB but that doesn't have screen mirroring. Is there any application on the market to do this.
If that is not possible is there any way to make this possible.
Example :
Samsung mobile ( S3) native video player support screen mirroring but doesn't support .VOB format. I tried MX PLAYER which supports .VOB but it doesn't support screen mirroring.
Hope to get any suggestions or help to solve this.

hm dont know where your problem with mx is? simply connect your phone through settings with your tv, then open mx and play the video. for me it always worked that way.
Need more clarification

no, you dont have to enable it through mx player settings.
enable on your tv screen mirroring mode, open the normal samsung settings of your phone, enable screen mirroring on your phone and search your tv. now your tv should display your phones content. now you can open mx player and play your video.
Hello out there
I want to use my Galaxy Note 3 as a webcam. I thought why not, since it has a really good camera, which can record in 4K easily.
A good thing about the phone, is that it comes with USB 3.0 (first and only phone?). However, newer phones with USB Type-C should be possible to deliver a video stream in 4K easily as well.
So here's my question. Are there any apps out there, which can stream my Android phone's camera to my Windows PC, but show it at 4K resolution with highest bitrate possible? So the quality is basically like recording a video on the phone.
I have found plenty of apps that can do this, but the bitrate and resolution is so low, that I can barely see myself in the video stream. It is really bad.
Thanks in advance!
