Encode it in xvid on your PC then. It should get very small and you will have multiple options to control quality vs size.

when i want to copy video files over to my xda i do so using active sync and wen i go to open it the file comes up as a file that cant b read by any program, what do i have to do in order for it to play video?
Hi,
which player do you use? Video Files (.mpg or .mpeg) are best played by Pocket TV, available at www.pocketTV.com, .avi files by wmp
Regards
Ron
thanks for replying i try .mpeg video and have windows media that came with it, i have seen pocket tv advertised if i were to get it wot one would i use?
I have been toying around with this video-watching for some time now and in the end the problem is always the size of the files. It is simply impossible to fit a whole movie in mpeg or divx on a storage-card, even if you ha a 512MB one. So what i´ve been doing lately is to convert movies into wmv format with the windows media encoder, which is free downloadable on the microsoft website. You can set the framerate down to 15 fps and the streaming rate to 150 kbps and the movie will still run relatively smooth. And the resolution must of course be set to 320X240. With that you will have files with a size of about 1 MB/minute of film. Of course it takes some time to convert the file, but with 2.8MHz not longer then a little over half an hour per movie.
i can get a 320x240 2 hour film in divx format into 185mb :|
running at 30fps at 250kbs
so i dont see what everyones probs with vids are? :shock:
@ gazzaman
what program do u use to edit doen the videosize to 320 x 240 ?

Hey guys,I've been reading a lot about how well the GS2 plays movies/videos,but I haven't found an answer to this.Can it play files larger than 2gigs?My Desire HD plays 720p mp4's flawlessly(almost) unless the file size is more than 2 gigs.In that case it won't even open thw file.
Any answer appreciated as 9/10 of the movies I have are high quality 720p and 1080p matroska files to play on my PS3,not some 700kbps ****-quality 500megs file.
Thanks!

It can play anything up to 4GB, but the file system wont allow you to transfer a file larger than 4GB. If you have some 8GB mkv files you will need to split them somehow.
It's not the file size that's important, although FAT32 has a limit of 4gb for a single file you can split a file up. It's the bitrate that's important, and so far the Galaxy s2 has played everything I've thrown at it, including very high bitrate 1080p files. It's perfect for video playback.
You can use MKV toolnix to split MKV files. It'll only take a few minutes since all it does is demux, split and remux the file. Since you're using MKV files i'm assuming you're tech savvy enough to navigate the GUI. It's pretty simple.
I won't quote because my multi-quote doesn't feel like working the last few days.
So,thank you all guys for your answers.
@jgittins
I know there is the fat32 limitation,wouldn't be around if I didn't! Splitting the videos is easy,reencoding is a pain in the ass(3-7 hours on my PC ).
@RXP
Bitrate,withing some sane limits at least,wasn't a problem for the DHD either.I encode a high profile 720p video clip from Avenged Sevenfold(I'm a big fan ) which lasts some 4 minutes and it plays heavenly.I use exactly the same settings for a movie(That turns out about 3.5 gigs) and it won't play.I use lower quality(not only bitrate) so that it turns out to be just less than 2 gigs(by chance at that time) and it plays really good.I then,out of curiosity,split the 3.5 gigs file to two equal sized files and it plays super smooth too!So the problem is a 2 gig limit on the DHD.As long as there is no such thing on SGS2 I'm extra fine,as the DHD will need reencoding nontheless,it can't play mkv's.
@Sticks02
Geek is my middle name pal!
Thanks,I'll try that and see how it goes.Even if I can't use it at first I'll eventually do it(I learn really easily ).
I've been trying to find information about this but I have been unable to yet (likely due to how new it is). I'm trying to find the best settings to re-encode my videos for a balance of quality and size.
Test the NT's video capability here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1348488
As for encoding specs, it's simple: conform to MP4 specs (H.264, AAC stereo) if you want to use built-in player and hardware accel.
Newbies tend to obsess with encoding parameters, and there've been reams of how-to's for Handbrake encoding. You don't have to bother with any of that. The 4430 should handle anything in 720p, and the majority of 1080p. I would use the default settings of whatever encoder you prefer.
For quickie conversion to MP4 (from common formats), see my VidsOpt script conversion in the above link.
Thank you for the information. And it's not so much worrying about all the settings but trying to maximize how many shows/movies I can hold on the NT at once. I travel a lot for work and some of the flights are LONG so having as many options as possible is what I'm really looking for since it wouldn't be as simple as just loading other videos onto the NT at the time.

Get a 32 GB uSD card. I can hold 20+ hours of video on mine.
>to maximize how many shows/movies I can hold on the NT
There are two ways to lower a movie's size, reduce the resolution, or reduce the quality. Both are a personal preference.
A 90min movie averages 800MB-1GB, encoded at 480p and standard quality. Then, you can fit 32 such movies onto a 32GB uSD. With a larger res, you can fit fewer. You can also of course have more than one uSD card.
Getting ready for the Thanksgiving drive and saw this question, so did a test re-encode of Green Lantern. Original file is a 720p mkv
Video Bitrate: 720p (1280x536 @ 4811kbps)
Audio Bitrate: DTS @ 1509 kbps
Using Handbrake Normal as the baseline.
1) Container MP4, left extension as .m4v
2) Picture: changed Anamorphic to Loose, Width to 1024 (assumed native width was a good idea to reduce size)
3) Video: Video Codec x264 which means encode took about 50 minutes. Constant Quality 22
4) Audio: AAC Mixdown to Stereo, Samplerate Auto, Bitrate 160
5) Subtitles: need to play around with this later
Original mkv filesize was 5.7GB
.m4v file was 913MB
To me, it looked absolutely great. Could not complain and actions scenes didn't show any sign of stutter. Didn't watch the whole thing through, but didn't seem to come across any problems either.
I'm sticking with these settings and will see if there are any changes required.
I'm not a video encoding expert or a Handbrake expert - but I think I know enough and need at least 3-4 movies for the drive.
Hope that helps.
Thank you very much, I'm going to give those settings a try when I get home.
The settings are working great. So much that I actually put the setting into a preset file for anyone else that wants it in http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1361819. Thank you very much for your help iron_c
Ok, firstly, i used the search, found this thread, didnt help.

I know the prime can read pretty much any video file given the right player, thats not my question.
My problem is most of my bluerays have been converted to digital, in some cases the files are over 10 gigs. Now i CAN play those files on my prime however i can only fit a couple on my sd card before i run out of space.
What im looking for is settings to optimize conversion for best quality the prime can show while reducing the file size to the smallest possible.
For instance, a 1080P video will play at a max resolution of 1280 x 800. Audio can be stripped to stereo instead of 5.1 surround since the prime wont output much better anyways.
Most of my files are MKV format.
WinFF is my software of choice, its worked well for me in the past but there were specific config files for it. Unfortunately i dont know enough about video encoding to know which settings to use for the prime.
Anyone have experience with WinFF? Have other software you use that works better? If anyone has suggestions im open to them. Thanks!
If I remember right, AVS vide converter has that option but it's not free. I'm sure there are free alternatives but I can't name any

edited first post. WinFF is my software of choice but im not sure what settings to use other than 1050x800 for the resolution. What bit rates should i use, what presets? any ideas?
I wouldn't use x800.
Down-convert to 720p and stick to the Scene rules (attached) and you'll be good.
Edit: looks like the .png attach gets resized to useless. Grab the .c file and rename to .png.
I stick to CD size 700Mb downloads and they seem to work fine whatever the resolution.
I use handbrake (free) to convert my movies. If the movie is 1080p scale it down to 720p. i use the profile from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1060825
movies end up being like 2 gb tops and play great. they will even stream with the average wifi signal on the prime.
I do my conversions with RipBot264.
For the Prime, I convert:
Video down to 720p mkv with quality set to High-Profile CQ19 or CQ20. No sense in 1080p unless I'm watching on 40"+ big screen that can show the extra resolution.
I set audio to DD/DTS "5.1 core only" because I use the same files with my laptop (Lenovo X220) which can output 5.1 via HDMI or optical equipped USB sound card ($25 SIIG soundwave in my case). I can understand why some would go down to stereo, but audio data is small compared to video data.., so there's not that much of a size penalty for keeping 5.1 audio since I might actually use it.
Main reason I use RipBot is to deal with movies that have forced subtitles. I can identify the forced subtitle track and have it build/render the subtitles into the video frames. This is so I don't have to deal with whether my device/player supports subtitles correctly. Watching something like District 9 (heavily subtitled) would be a disaster, otherwise.
Size wise, I usually see around an 80-85% reduction in size vs the original source m2ts file.
But this is what I love about the TF201. If I'm in a rush to make a flight, I don't have to convert. It will play the same 1080p CQ18 mkv I use on my XBMC / NAS setup. Heck, it'll even play the raw Bluray m2ts file straight off the disc. Love my TF201.
Ya, as stated in OP PLAYING the videos is never a problem, its just storing more than a couple of those extra high res videos takes a toll on my onboard memory
Thanks for the tips all around, will definately give them a go.

Not quite. Not all movies make it to a torrent. Hand brake as was previously posted is what I've been using for a while and it works great. SUPER works and has presets for quite a few screen types and sound codecs.

what presets are you using? how do the movies turn out? what file size would an average length movie turn out to?
Hi I took a 3min video today of my daughters 2nd birthday.. she was blowing the candles out.. and I filmed this event on my sgs3
As I did this on high quality.. Iand now have a 500mb video file... How can I best re-encode it to a much smaller file that I could post on tumblr, etc? I tried handbrake but I could only squeeze it down to 180mb.. it seems excessive for a 3min video
use any video converter
