Any way to disable video preview? - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So as you know, the stock video player has this feature which plays short clips of all the videos you have. This is great and all, but I find that when I insert my sd card which contains lots of mkv videos, it causes a horrible lag when opening the video player. I assume it's because the phone takes a while to generate previews for the mkv files, since it doesn't happen when I insert another sd card that contains just as many videos, but in other formats.
So, my question is, is there a way to disable the video preview? Like maybe editing a text file somewhere?

[Qeustion] Movies on HD2?

Hello there Community,
I have been reading alot of these forums and on the web.
Atm using Energy 26june 23569 with 2.10.50.28_2 (best for me).
Now i want to convert some VOB (Dvd) movies/files to the best suitable extention to play fullscreen on the HD2 (i can for example make .wmv with moviemaker).
The problem is, when i convert a file of 100MB to MP4 642*480 i CAN watch them fullscreen in the default CAMvidplayer (dunno how its named), without any problem .. but when i code a vid to 1.5gb mp4, it hangs on video, and only plays sound.
Hope someone can help me with this and give me a few good instructions/links to do so.
Dont know if this topic is in the right forum though, sorry if it isnt.
Thanks!

I always split fulllenght movies into 2 parts, cause file above 1.5g
tend to have hiccups every 5-10min (5sec freeze).
But i never have a full picture freeze.
What bitrate are you using?
What codec are you using?
I use h264 codec around 1600kb.
Get your hands on a program called Coreplayer.
And as for converting, try to convert to 800 by 480 as that is the devices resolution. Anything below will become choppy, above isn't bad but it may cause stuttering during playback.

Same qeustion here
Wish it can be fullscreen
I've sucessfully converted several videos and full length movies to mp4 to play on my hd2 using VLC, I noticed though it's important to make sure to select a maximum resolution of 720p. Still looks good on the screen, plays full screen and no stutters or freezes. Hope that helps.
I use "Any video Converter", for all my devices, here are a few reasons why I like it...
It's really easy to trim off the beginning and the ending of videos in the apps built in player to make the videos shorter and smaller.
Remember's my custom settings
Choose my Frame Rate, Video Bitrate, Video Framerate.
Many settings with the audio choices.
Can Place multiple files to convert one after the other.
It's free and they keep updating it regularly.
Video Conversion
I used "Format Factory" to convert some AVIs for the HD2. Not only do they play now they play in HTC's video player just like Transformers. Different settings and a few different resolutions and they all seem to play just fine...
"Format Factory" is free and a small download.

Audio and video issues with atrix

So I am having some issues with my atrix. I am trying to watch movies off my hdmi and video and audio are both working. The only problem is that the sound is not in sync with the video. Do i need to convert the videos files in order to correct this issue or am i doing something wrong. Sorry if this question has already been posted but i couldn't find any info on it.
its not the phone. The problem is from the way you are converting it. Try a different program and see if that helps.

Have you played them on a PC to see what they look like?
What software are you using to create the videos?
What source are you using? (avi, wma, etc.)
Where is the source material coming from?
If they are out of sync on another device/computer, then it rules out the phone.
yeah I have, the play fine on my windows media player. I downloaded them via torrent and they play fine on my laptop. They are .AVI files and I already trouble shooted them all on my phone. They all seem to do the same thing. windows media player plays them just fine. My atrix plays them too but the sound doesnt go in sync with the actors voices.
I really dont think its the phone, I just think its the software in the phone that is causing it. I have tried other players on android market and they do the same thing.
I did not convert the files to mp4 or mkv files. Im thinking that this is the issue. Its just a drag to convert them since it takes so long to do the conversion.

[Q] Regarding the Video Capabilities of the NT

I apologize beforehand if my questions could've been posted on some of the other video threads.
I was wondering how well the NT plays divx/xvid and mkv files. From what I understand certain people have had issues with these files. Can someone please elaborate? No subtitle or multiple audio support on the stock player I'm assuming...
Also can it play both normal profile and high profile h.264 videos?
Also can you stream locally shared video files without using a sideloaded app?

[Q] How to change file format of recorded videos?

I have a HUAWEI g300, and while the quality of still images taken with the camera are great, video quality is awful. Or, to be more specific, the audio that goes with the video is very poor.
I believe that this may be due to the file format of the video.
For this reason, I would be interested to know whether there are any ways to change the file format which videos are recorded in. Are there any alternative camera apps that are any good, which ideally allow the user to select their own file format? My device is rooted btw.

[Q] Transfer of video files

Hey,
I wanted to know if there is a way to transfer video files from laptop to my phone , xperia P without converting the videos. Whenever i try to copy movies and music videos they ask for converting the videos before copying. After skipping the conversion part i was unable to play the video. It was lagging and getting stuck. And converting took several hours. Could anyone advise me if there is a possibility to transfer video files to android phone without converting. The very same video i am successfully able to download through my phone but not able to transfer to my phone. Requesting for your opinions and suggestions.
what s the resolution of videos u want to transfer?
Irrespective of the resolution all videos require conversion. for eg: recently i tried to transfer a video of matroska format 1280x544 pixels. Again the same thing popped up but when i downloaded the video through torrents it played without any problem. Even the smaller resolution ones too. Very few times and that too countable ones i was able to copy with out any trouble. For eg. once i transferred a video of 10MB size , mp4 format and it copied without conversion (sorry i don't remember the resolution of it) .
