[Q] Archos official SDE and DRM media? - Gen8, Gen9, Gen10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello All
I'm minded at last to root my G9 80 to gain better performance and JB. I note the different methods of gaining SDE and root. As I have an aged PPC Mac as my 'computer', the official SDE method has its attractions. However I'd rather not cripple being able to watch downloaded movies etc. So, my question is whether this is simply Archos trying to scare people off from hacking/rooting their devices, or if it does indeed nuke the ability to watch content downloaded from Google Play etc. I assume streamed media is OK?
Thanks
Gareth

First of all, let's not talk about downloaded movies, OK?
After installing sde, running Netflix and YouTube still work for me. I hope that is what you meant with streaming.
About the movies, my personally ripped collection works. They are mkv, wmv and avi formats.

Thanks for the info. I meant movies purchased from Google Play that you're able to own rather than just hire.

Aah, okay. Google movie is not yet available in Finland, so I can't answer that question. Sorry.

Best software to burn movies and watch on atrix

What is the best sw to burn quality dvd and watch on the atrix .. A step by step would be great.. Thanks..
I really like Slysoft, if you research the company you'll see why.
Sent from my MB860 using XDA Premium App
Check the android central forums. I think I saw a good tut for using handbrake. Great and simple app.
OMG! I have an Atrix! [XDA app]
Yup...I second SLYSOFT !!! Movies show absolutely perfectly at 720p with 30fps!!!
Handbrake didn't work for me, not sure why. Try slysoft first.
Thanks guys ill try slysooft....
Ok went to slysoft website but which one do i want there are a few programs there ??

CloneDVD mobile is the program used to "shrink-wrap" your dvd's to be able to view on a mobile device. There are many options in the program for all sorts of pda's.
I use general divx, 720p, 30fps. I also use mVideoPlayer to watch. Its a free market download, and its way better than the default video viewer in the phone.
DVDFab + Megui = encode anything you want for any device you want. Just my $0.02

How to watch DVD's over HDMI using our atrix?
How we can watch DVD's over HDMI using our atrix?
Watch DVD's with subtitles!
One way, maybe is using an app in mobile, like Mobo Player, and use HDMI Mirroing.
But the quality will be good?
and .mkv files cant play on our device?
Other way thinking, using webtop mode..
but we need full ubuntu.. with vlc but sound reported not in good quality..
Anyother way/ideas?

Xvid plug-in for built-in browser?

I am writing as I am looking for a way to play xvid movies in the sgs2 stock browser. Any ideas?
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA App
which sites requires you to have xvid support?
usually its flash that is needed for most things.
share your info
I was trying this today and was going to ask the same question..
There's an option to register ur device to be divx certified so u can play divx protected movies on ur phone (divx n xvid are pretty much the same thing) but even after registering, I havent been able to find a way to play xvid in the browser...
Sent from my GT-I9100
I'm not sure this is what you look for but a search in the forum gives the next result.
havent tried it but there is no reason for it not to work.
please update us.

ment for G2
Nope that's not it. I really don't think this plug in/app exists. Shame really. Would be awesome.
Sent from my GT-I9100
Sorry, I wasn't notified of activity here.
I cannot think of a specific site at the moment but it would be nice to be able to download & view divx files without being told file not supported & it doesn't even download the file.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA App
Not supposed to advertise websites on here anyway (i dont think you can).. Anyways I was looking for a divx plug in since I had my i9000. No luck yet though.

Whats the best and quickest Video converter?

I downloaded the trial of Pavtube Video Converter just to test it... And O M G Its taking over 1 hour to convert 1 movie 800mb!!! Thats slow... Is this normal?.. can someone please tell me what I should do Any tips?
I download my movies and they usually come in AVI, MKV, MOV sometimes MP4.. I was told the g3 cannot take AVI because of all the different codecs that they could come in, so you will need to convert it but guys I need the best tool for this.
Moderator edit - no asking for warez
THank you
Edit your post please Warez is banned on XDA and you are stealing from XDA members in many cases .

Look for vid con on the play store and u can try it for free for 3 days! Seems fine for me
Sent from my GT-I9300 using XDA Premium HD app
you have been so wrongly informed - the GS3 will run those file justs fine (without the need for any conversion). If not you have issues using the stock player - use a 3rd party player than can play using software decoding.

Google "handbrake". Best free converter there is
If you download MX Player for free from the Play store then you can play all the most common video formats like avi, mp4, flv, mkv and many more. I use this myself and not had any problems at all.
Hope this helps.

Hey, but is there any converting up which doesn't need an internet connection? I mean an android phone conversion, not an android internet conversion!

Best Video Converter
I'm using Free Studio (dvdvideosoft.com) and am quite happy with its video converters. I think this software is worth trying too.

Used this, very happy with it.
Could you be more specific or possibly provide a link. Googling video converter pulls up a bunch of free ones and I'm not sure which you're referring to. Thanks!
For me, I use asoftech video converter, you may download and have a try
