This is impressive no mather how you look at it!
Not really a must see, the thread title pretty much sums it up. Did you really have to make the video over 6 minutes long?
Made me motion sick in 15 sec flat....you need to learn how to hold the camera still
Why does it sometimes say that the videos I try to play "are not optimized for mobile"? These videos stutter like hell. Is that caused by flash player on my phone or is it just the video or site?

Haha that is great. I now wonder about 4 x 1080p.

I think that means YouTube hasn't converted them to the right format to play fluidly on mobile devices. This would imply that what you're seeing on your SGS2 is a different video file to what Mr Average Joe would get on his laptop - YouTube still has to help the mobile players more than the desktop players!
i love watching 4 videos at the same time
The limit is about playing GoldenEye 007 on N64oid... that really stresses the device

The best money i ever spend on a device was SII!
Awesome. Thanks Pachi.
I'm proud because I'm own this phone. I think is powerfull phone at the moment. Also I did some picture today with phone and with sony 12 mp camera. Just to compare, very nice picture took with phone. Before this phone I had htc desire hd and optimus 2x, both 8mp camera. But picture on sgs2 is much better. This is my opinion.
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.

I would use ext2 or ext4.
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.

This. I'm also upgrading from a GT10.1, and I had to explain this reasoning over on their XDA boards too. It's ridiculous how often I've had to explain it. I apologize to everyone who I come off too as arrogant or toolish.
It would be full with every emulator and roms
I use exFAT for everything. exFAT is supported to read/write on Linux, Mac OS 10.6.5+, and Windows XP+.
Android supports it as well.

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!
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.

WOW
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 might take you up on that, Depending on what HTC support says.
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
for a quick minute one time I was able to do this. stranegly enough I cannot not duplicate it...
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

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 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.

I have been away form the android development for a while now as it didnt have the ability to view movies in it nor was there a tv-out. I was wondering if any of the more recent builds have addressed this? I am having a heck of a time finding it via thread search.
Nope, I don't think anyone got TV out working. There were always bigger fish to fry, and with the userbase not really clamoring for it... No dev ever worked on it.
All our code is open source, so anyone can pickup where we left off. I'd say the project is pretty much done tho.
Wait, the Rhodium has TV-Out hardware? I didn't even know it could do that in WinMo! That's... actually kinda cool, although with as dinky as its CPU is I'm not sure just how useful it would be anyway -- who wants to play a 240p YouTube video on a big TV?

It requires an additional dongle, which should have been provided if you got the phone brand new.
I've never used it - I can't imagine videos are a pleasant thing. Perhaps a presentation or pic slideshow would be cool tho.

I have used it and it is actually quite awesome! I have watched full size divx movies using TCPMP/Core both at home on 46" HD (just to test it) and at various hotels/resorts (cause I always have some new movies ready anytime I fly) and the quality is perfect! To my eye the rhods screen and the attached monitor are pixel for pixel identical. HQ youtube looks fantastic, the same as my HTPC playing youtube in 480p. Haven't tried powerpoint yet but the picture slideshow is kinda cool too.
This is just another reason that I love haret/SD builds from XDAndroid. This is a function that I do not use 99% of the time but it IS there when I need it. That and offline GPS are the 2 big ones that keep me attached to WM (and my BT ODBII scanner I guess, but I have a feeling I COULD get this rockin' in android...if I wanted to put in the time )
EDIT: LOL. ODBII = OBDII... Every damn time!! I blame Old Dirty Bastard

Pixel for pixel, gawd I hope not. 480x800 on an HD screen would probably look AWFUL.
Does it at least put it in a respectable aspect ratio...?
Really surprised anyone actually uses this, haha. I guess some dev can still pick it up? Has anyone even tried the TV Out in Android? Seriously doubt it works, just curious.
lol, yeah it outputs in VGA only. So you have to set your monitor either to have black bars on the sides or zoom(which is perfect for widescreen movies). I watch all my movies at home streaming using the divx web player so I am used to 480p on my HDTV(they may be a little smoother looking on the HTPC since its outputting 720p). These movies look pretty good to me(tho HD mkv changes everything). And free increases the resolution ten fold!!
Anyway, back on topic... I have never tried in GBX because I do not use an official cable for TV-Out and because of this I have to "trick" WM by changing the registry so that it will recognize my cable as a TV-Out and not just a headset as it senses automatically. It actually has to change the function of the pins of the mini usb and thus the headphone jack of the multifunction dongle. The sheer hackiness of the solution in WM tells me that there is no way in hell that it will work for me in android with my current hardware.
And, to be honest I don't really want it in android. Lets face it, without external power you could probably watch like one TV episode before the battery crapped out(okay, a bit of an exaggeration, I know, but you know what I mean).
EDIT: Even more off topic but I can't resist. I have ordered a usb OTG cable from hong kong for a buck and once I get it my next experiment will be trying to play a movie using TV-Out, off of an external hard drive, hopefully while on external power.
As long as there are still new things to try on my rhod I can put off getting a new phone... but I am running out fast!

I can now answer half of your question: You definitely have the ability to watch movies on the rhod running android.
I have just installed MX player from the market and am about 20 mins into a 700mb divx movie on GBX0C with kernel 3.4. So far it is playing very well (much better than I expected, especially with no OC!).
MX installed no prob, then when I started it up it said something like "no codec installed. Install from market?" clicked yes, market comes up with Codec for MX Player (armv6), install that then play movie on card. Great!

i can tell you that OMGB rom does not have a tv-out or at least my phone dont recognize the tv-out cable and flat screen to "see" my phone either. i have one of those tv-out HTC Multimedia ACT100 TV Out Cable for HTC Fuze/Touch Pro cables. works in winmo not on android. but i havent tried any special apps either.
speaking on the quality of the output video in Winmo when put on a TV. It has a lot to do with the file your playing obviously. I carry the same sentiment previously mentioned the RCA out and the offline GPS (tomtom) are what keeps me attached to my Phone.
I use the TV out nearly every day I hook it up to the Gym TV to do insanity or P90X, and listen to the audio via BT headset (I already looks like a fool jumping around I don't need to cause more displeasure on people making them endure Tony Horton or Shawn T). The video shows up not perfect, but I have super compressed files, its good enough to tell what the exercise is and how much time is left)
This setup would be perfect If core player (.mp4 files) would accept AVRCP inputs on the rhodium but that is where my perfect setup falls short. I suppose rather then viewing new phones I could purchase a 32gb sd card and just get different file formats of the videos.
Thank you all for the input, ill live with what i have for now, great work to all the devs as far as they took this project.

I have tried four free divx players on the Google Play Market on my Rhodium running GB0X. The best performance I found was with Seaman Player, I think that is what it was. MX was sketchy for me, and none of them play as sharply as watching the same files in CorePlayer in WinMo.
To keep from getting to far OT, I have the dongle and it works great in WinMo, but given the playback performance on the built-in screen my hopes are not high that we would have good results on TV-out.
