[Q] Playing DVD structure/ISO on Android? - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello,
Is it possible to play a DVD's Structure or ISO (containing the "VIDEO_TS" folder) directly on Android with menus? If yes, how?

Yes. U first have to use a pc program called handbrake that will convert format for u, then u can watch it on ur device

Wouldn't it defeat the purpose of keeping the subtitle ?
Edit: I have found the solution:
Extract files contained in ISO file to your Smartphone and use Daroon Player
you'll be able to play a DVD with the menus.

Hi, is there a solution to stream DVD ISO directly to an android device?
I ripped all my DVDs (ISOs are all located in my NAS) and will not convert my collection to play it on my phone/tablet. If android cannot perform such a basic thing, I will have no choice but turning to surface and win8. Would be sad but if there's no choice...

I believe it is possible but you will have to look into DLNA and such, I do not have the possibilities to confirm it since I did not try it myself.
I think you should create another topic to have more chances of obtaining an accurate response.

Hi, I installed XBMC on my android tv stick and it appears to play some DVD ISO files. I say some because out of about 15 I tried 2...one worked and the other didn't.
You'll need to download the xbmc.apk file from www.xbmc.org and have your security settings set so u can install third party applications.

Is there a way to directly mount ISOs now or do I still have to extract the files? By the way, VLC and BS Player can open the ISO but they won't get further than the menue.

It will be only possible if you'd like to convert the DVD ISO, or "VIDEO_TS" folder to Android friendly format. There are some video convert tool can help you, like the free Handbrake, but it needs a third-party software still; or Brorsoft dvd ripper, it will cost you some $ or so, it will help you fast rip and convert your home or commercial DVD ISO image files or VIDEO_TS folder to a common video like MP4 for your Android device within one-stop.

Okay, but would that friendly format support menus?

[Q] Anyone know how to manually put the digital copy of X-Men First Class on...

my Galaxy S II without a networked Blu-ray player?
I have
1. Legitimate copy of the movie
2. The activation code
3. A Blu-ray drive in my computer to access the files which seem is a 1.3GB .dc file
4. The Pocketblu app on my SGS2
My PS3 is jailbroke so I will not network it and my laptop runs Linux only so no actual proper Blu-ray playback software.
google blue ray video converter, then convert it to a suitable format for your device. eg - divx.
thats it

I can't even do that yet since the new version of BD+ used on the disc has not been broke yet. Which sucks since I wanted to copy the movie to my HTPC running XBMC, since I can't stand sitting through the opening warnings and Fox logos.
I can only get the digital copy to play on my computer. Won't play on my Infuse. I'll give my ipad a try tomorrow.

It's about to happen. I usually buy the Bluray+DVD version, but BB didn't have a set like that.
Doesn't it suck when stealing a film is easier than buying it.

Correct me if i'm wrong, but wasn't the purpose of including a "Digital" copy of the movie to be able to play it on the computer and portable devices?

[Q] Official CCNA courses on Prime

hi folks,
recently i have tried to copy paste the CCNA courses (Exploration) from my laptop to the tablet. it is not too smart but i was thinking perhaps may work as the browser i use, Dolphin HD, support flash and java. finally copied the entire folder and launched the index.html. it worked the intro page including the flash but nothing else. no course can be launched.
was anyone able to figure it out how the official CCNA courses (installed on Windows) can be run on android?
highly appreciate it.
I'd be interested in seeing this work.. the the ATP will become my primary device then

Any thoughts?

i have the same problème... it works on debian but not on my acer a700. Help me
:crying: Tanks a lot.
I'm assuming that these courses aren't interactive; they're just a series of videos, right? Just transcode them into a format that Mobo Player or countless other video players will play.
There must be video files in one of the directories. I would suggest directly opening the video files than opening the index page or main app via browser. For video player, use MX Player.
It would be nice if this could work.
I will ask some application developers in my class some information
If i got some information i will come back on this matter.
It does work on Backtrack and CentOS, theoretically it also should work on android
Sorry for my bad English.
(Off-topic: I am doing CCNA 4 now and it's quite hard)

[Q] Taking flight, want to watch movies on device

So as the title says, and yes I searched, guess what comes up, posts from 2009 or useless info. Anyway, I have used google too and I can't find what I effectively need. Taking a long flight, I'm looking for freeware to put DVD files on my devices, of which I own several to choose from. The files are currently .vob, I can transfer files, but nothing stock reads them, The rooted and/or jailbroken devices can see them and play, but I have to manually select each file when said file is over. Anything available in freeware that you know of ot use to help out??? Flight is Friday morning.....
Try mx.video player. It supports a ton of video formats, and hopefully it supports vob. Make sure you set it to sw fast decoding for video though

Looks good, I'll try it out, but I'm really needing a converter.
Any ideas?

Update...i found handbrake, looks like this is what I needed. Feel free to close thread.

DLNA Rubbish?

I had a galaxy s2 and used all share on the phone to remote play video from my PC to my phone. By pressing remote device and browsing my windows media shared videos.
Why on earth does this not work on the s3? It just shows no videos on my pc......
I use my DLNA router enabled every day or so without problem. Browsing NAS shared folder with Solid or ES File explorer and watching movies. Or Dice player directly for example. Must be a config problem.
I use ArkMC (available on the Play Store) to stream stuff from my pc to my I9300. Very straightforward app, no setup whatsoever and works flawlessly for me so far. Give it a go, you might just need to reboot the phone after install tho for the app to actually take in account whatever is available in your WindowsMediaPlayer library & If I recollect correctly, i had to do that before being able to use see my media files through the app. Hope this heleped and if it did please hit the thx button

Hello, I have several questions:
What do you use as a server on your PC?
And how is it going with HiDefinition video, is it plays good?

Hey letrouble, only saw your message today...
Anyways bout your two questions, for this app to work, like said previously you won't need anything setupwise, windows media player is the "server" so you only need to add your files to its library, install the app on your device, reboot it and that's pretty much it...
Concerning your second question, yes, HiDef files run flawlessly with it, on devices that actually support such a definition of course, ie galaxy S3 and many others... tried on my old galaxy tab P1000, they will load but the framerate will not be high enough to take pleasure in watching your content...
Hope that helped & hope all of u guys had a good Xmass and will have an even better NYE
UPnPlay and BubbleUPnP work great

[Q] Throw not working

Hi everybody,
I can't make throw work between my Tablet S (4.03 r5a) and my Sony Bravia KDL-32EX405. Everytime I try to play a music file or a video file I get the "cannot play track" message on the tablet.
I already checked the config on the TV and the tablet appear as a recognized device. It is not a matter of file compatibility as I can play the exact same files from my computer through DLNA.
Any idea?
Thanks!
Harerton
it could be the your tv does not support certain file format, happened to me when i tried the throw function, i was using an ex720 series tv, does the tablet show up on your tv`s registered devicelist?

Sony's KDL-32EX405 is extremely limited in its support of file formats via DLNA and USB. This is common for early HDTV designs and I suspect it is the source of your problem.

As I said, the tablet appears as a registered device in the TV settings and I can access the exact same files stored in my computer from the TV, so it does not seem to me a problem of compatibility!

I just discovered that "play to" in Windows Media Player is also not working (the file was a MP3).
Playto works for me, but I have a samsung smart 3d tv. Try upnplay from the market, works quite well.
