Hey guys..... What's the best way to get DVDs or BluRays onto the SGs3?
tia!!
I just drag and drop, pc automatically encodes the video to a format the s3 can play, and seemed to have done a pretty good job........this was for hd based movie.. dvd ,might be different since its not just a single file normally for that you might have to run a 3rd party program to convert to single file, unless bsplayer can detect dvd_video structure as well?
Hi Guys,
I am on .62 firmware (Gingerbread) and everytime I take a video using the camera the file size is very large, around 40mb for a minute or maybe more. So what I did was I reduced the file sizes of my videos by using AVS video converter by using this profile. This significantly reduces the file size upto 6x less!
The videos work with the PC but when I try to play the video using the android system then I get a message that says the video cannot be played. The thumbnails for the videos in the gallery are also messed(just random lines and for some the thumbnail does not even appear). However when I play the video using moboplayer it works perfectly. But this is no use if the video isnt being displayed properly in the Gallery.
So this is probably a problem with the video format. The extension is mp4 so I dont think thats the problem, but I'm not sure if the video profile (see above screenshot) I entered was correct for phones.
Can someone please help me...
EDIT: AFTER JUST LEAVING THE PHONE FOR AROUND 5 MINUTES THE VIDEOS NIOW WORK, BUT THE THUMBNAILS ARE STILL MESSED UP, EVEN AFTER CLEARING THE THUMBNAILS.
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?

Thread moved to proper forum.

The file is 1.4 giga and for some reason when I tried to copy the to my s3 it also crashed (in the past I could transfer to the s3)
a lot of my anime and tv shows are in mkv format but they are pretty small in size and i have no trouble playing them with mx player. i might try a larger file and get back to you.
Edit: i transfered a 13.1GB file to my XTZ "The Hobbit, An unexpected Journey 1080p" x264 .mkv file (bearing in mind whenever you transfer something to your XTZ at least in my case, it will warn you the file may need to be converted to play on your device) and i played it using mx player at first it complained i needed a custom codec to play audio because of "dts" which i went and downloaded but the movie was still playing without audio and looked fine. After installing the codec i tried playing the movie again and it was working perfectly.
If you cant transfer the files have you tried a different usb cable to connect your XTZ to your computer or even tried using an sd card reader (if your using an sd card) ?
I'm having the same issues and can't figure it out. Smaller files around 25 mb transfer fine. Larger files like my tv shows, which are 1+ gb, crash windows explorer every time. Yet I can transfer the same files without problem using OTG and a thumbdrive. I'm running stock (4.12) on an SGP312. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thx!
To the OP, mkv files play on the stock player but you wont get any audio if the audio format is AC3. Try downloading the vmplayer from google play. Works for me.
*** Also I tried a different cable and had the same results.
If watching anime, MX Player and BSPlayer are great options. I prefer to use MX Player because it renders perfectly .ass and .saa styled subtitles. Also the Hardware Plus (HW+) decoding works great. Only thing that won't be fully playable would be 10-bit color encodes that are getting popular among subbing groups, as this is due to hardware limitation, and software decoding is slow as heck with that format. So, anime in 8-bit and 1080p should run flawless.
For any other type of vids contained in mkv, MX Player and its HW+ decoder is also the one to go with. I play huge (+10GB) FullHD mkv files with no stuttering at all.
I used XTZ 32GB for all these tests.

I had no issues transferring large files (up to 8GB) over USB to my SGP312. Might be a driver issue in your Windows version. I am using Windows 8 64bit myself.
That being said, I am now solely using the app Wifi File Transfer Pro to send data wirelessly to my Tablet. It is not as fast as USB, but much more convenient.
Download some other media players for your tablet like VLC, MX players. If they can not help you achieve the goal, then I am afraid that you need to encode your videos into MP4 format via a third party programs inclucing Handbrake or Brorsoft Video Converter.
Hi all - having a few issues after transferring some footage taken on a G5. The video plays fine on phone, however when transferred across it won't play on my Windows work PC. The file itself is rather large - 2.5Gb (around 20 mins footage).
Work removed the quicktime codec after the massive security issues last month which might account for the issue. Normally I would use Adobe Media Encoder to convert from Quicktime to a different codec within the mp4 container whilst retaining quality/settings etc however the file isn't recognised here. Any suggestions for how to recover/open the file?
On a similar note does anyone know the codecs used by G5 to encode video and if there is a way to change it?
Thanks,
GC.
The issue occurs for me only when I record video vertically.
Only solution I found, rather than recording everything horizontally, is using QuickTime with Media Encoder.
