I have a IRREPLACEABLE video on my phone that plays fine. When I try to play it on my PC or when I transfer it however, all I get is audio.
I've done a reboot. All other videos work fine except this one and 3 others I shot recently. Same situation. On the phone = fine, PC...no bueno.
I have a codec pack installed, it is too large to attach via email, and astro tells me the 3GP was not found...but it's there...and it plays.......HELP!
Try a second pc?
Sounds like a codec issue to me.
this is not a signature I type it in every time it may be sent from my computer or my phone.
Didn't work on another computer either. I copied it to my harddrive, played it with 3 video players, and finally loaded it in video editing software. It saw the video.
I have the K-lite MEGA pack installed though. Weird.

vlc player on windows usually plays whatever i throw at it
Handbrake is free and will convert the 3GP file to a format that is more pc-friendly. HTH

Yeah... I finally got it in my video editing software. As I stated above, I already have the k-lite pack installed. It was weird...wouldn't work on VLC, WMP, or Quicktime...just audio.... gave some weird error.
Even on the phone, these videos won't create a thumbnail in the gallery or astro, but all play just fine. STRANGE!
Hi guys,
just got a HP touchpad. now is there a video player on here? and if its there what format do they have to be in to view it. have tried a couple of different ones and cant get them up.
Is there a player app i can download onto it at all ?
thanks
there is a photos & videos app built in, but it's pretty poor for video.
you need to add your video files to the root of the built in storage (the tablet installs onto your computer as a removable drive).
i still haven't got my head around the video file support just yet, but it doesn't seem to handle .avi, divx, xvid etc.
mp4 seems to be the main format.
there are a couple of apps for streaming videos from a upnp media server, but nothing free as far as i can tell.
kalemsoft media player seems to be the best of these as it lets you load video files from the local storage on your tablet as well as browse for remote stuff.
i have successfully played an avi file using this app.
i've only tried the demo version so far which requires internet access in order to assess the trial period.
i don't particularly want to purchase the paid version just yet.
I used Handbrake and followed the instructions here: http://forums.precentral.net/hp-tou...n-resources/287212-handbrake-preset-dvds.html I just tried a short 45 minute kids dvd to see if it would work okay. It was about a 400mb file. Placed it in a folder called Videos on the root of the usb partition and it shows up fine in the Photos and Videos app.

see i tried doing that as well. creating a folder called videos on the root and it wasn't detected.
only when i added the file direct to root could i access it.
are directory names case sensitive?
a video player that allows you to browse and/or add directories would be much better.
EDIT: looks like i had a folder called video. changed it to videos and it shows up.
strangely enough kalemsoft creates a folder recordings. when i added a video file to that, it also showed up.
I have put my videos in the download folder and they show up in the stock player fine. Also converted DIVX avi files to MP4 with Handbrake. Used the ipad HD settings for nice quality.
Kalemsoft Media Player wil read a lot of video formats , you can find it on app catalog.
The kalemsof that i downloaded isnt displaying in full screen and sometimes will hang on my TP. Guess its still not compatible to TP yet?

Thanx for the tip about Handbrake, nunja. I'll try it for conversions. I concur with the settings...
I'm on a Pre 2 and have no problems with mp4 playing (once you get the settings down it becomes rote). For my phone I use iPod settings...
For ripping from DVD I use DVDFab3 - I know there are way newer versions out there and I tried them but always go back to version 3. I just like the UI and it has never let me down. Point it at a DVD or ISO and under Mobile click Generic. You can configure it for generic mp4 and get a resolution up to 848x480 which should be alright on the TP screen. Your settings like Resolution, bitrate, volume level, subpicture - can all be saved as a profile.
DVDFab3 in a .rar file. Just extract and it will run out of the folder without install...
Hi all
Just thought i would share my findings.
I am using MX Video Player as my video player.
I use Mizzu Movies as the front end for it - it really is very very nice and will auto get information, reviews, trailers etc etc for movies.
To convert my Blu Ray mkv files, DVD rips or pretty much anything i use DVD Catalyst on Windows 7 PC
I use the asus transformer HQ settings and select partial border removal.
Using all the above results in very nice looking movies with flawless playback.
I travel abroad quite a lot and everyone who see's me using the Asus for movies on the plane is very interested in what i have.
For Blu-rays I've found DVD Catalyst 4 to be inadequate because of sync issues. I've also read that by turning off Blu-ray Telecine will correct this issue but it doesn't. So, I had to look at other software to rip and convert my Blu-rays. Also DVD Catalyst 4 set my Kaspersky Antivirus Heuristic virus detection off and said it was performing in a way similar to a virus or trojan.
I've found that Aiseesoft Blu-ray Ripper works really well and is my favorite. It has video acceleration and will utilize you're AMD (app acceleration) or a NVidia video card with (Cuda technology). It's normally $39 but you can get it HERE for $23.40 with the coupon code 'SMRT-ADEK'. HERE is a guide as to what settings to use for the TF. It tends to make my videos a little less in size than Pavtube does. i.e., Aieesoft Blu-ray Ripper will create a file say 2.5gb in size while Pavtube is a little higher. Also, since I have an AMD/ATI video card it will accelerate the ripping process to nearly half the time as Pavtube due to the fact that Pavtube doesn't support AMD/ATI acceleration, just NVidia Cuda technology. Also, Aieesoft Blu-ray Ripper will automatically preserve forced subtitles while Pavtube you have to actually check ON a tick box for it to pick up forced subtitles. Also it has a video preview while ripping while Pavtube does not. Incidentally you can turn this feature on or off, whichever you prefer.
Another great software would be Pavtube Blu-ray Video Converter Ultimate which runs $65 but you can get it for $37.70 HERE with coupon code 'SOFT-K8TT'. It makes flawless videos for the TF using the XOOM settings. HERE is a guide on how. It has video acceleration just for NVidia video card. It will also let you select not only different subtitles but allows for 'Only allow forced subtitles'.
Incidentally, both rippers have built in AACS ripper technology and can even rip the new AACS-24 copy protection which is the newest copy protection format. So there is no need to also run AnyDVD HD in the background while you rip to be able to rip. A huge plus in my book.
I use either Dice Player or MX Video to play my movies in HW acceleration mode.
This is the Pavtube settings. Right click on the picture and 'Save As' to download a short single chapter MP4 file to test on your TF.
This is the Aieesoft settings. Right click on the picture and 'Save As' to download a short single chapter MP4 file to test on your TF.
cheers...
EDIT: Please read further into this thread as things have changed drastically. Thanks
I use the extremely convenient VidsOpt script for reencoding and remuxing x264/MKV. I tried out some other ripping tools like DVD Catalyst and XviD4PSP but they were cumbersome and too heavy on my system (only 2.8GHz P4/1GB RAM). After this step, there is really no reason not to use the stock player since MP4 files can be HW decoded (video and audio). If I am watching something with subtitles or the occasional XviD I will use MX Video.

What Sync issues are you referring to AcidCore? I am aware of audio sync issues if you play the created video files on a PC using Windows Media Player, but this is due to some codec-issues with WMP itself. This is also mentioned in numerous locations on my website. For device playback as well as playback using Quicktime or VLC, the files should play just fine.
As for the Kaspersky, it doesn't like it when an app is running the conversion as a separate process. I have tried to work with them, but it is easier for them to mark something than to actually unmark something. DVD Catalyst is clean.
As for the links you provided, those articles are loaded with affiliate-links, meaning that those articles are mainly written to lure people into a purchase so that the guy who wrote them gets about 50% of the purchase price for the sale.

Actually, when I ripped the movie Wanted it played just fine on WMP but on both Dice and MX the audio was out of sync with the video. I felt like I was watching a dubbed movie or something. I tried three different settings with Catalyst and I got the same thing. Also when I ripped the movie Apocalypto which the whole movie is subtitled and Catalyst overwrote the subs with some kind of font that looked like it had some type of halo effect to it. I had to enable the Booster Pack 2 in order for it to pick up the subs at all. All other movies seemed OK though.
As for the links, I bought both Aieesoft Blu-ray Ripper and Pavtube at a 40% discount each which was a big plus in my book.

Did you try the stock player?
The files dvdcat creates are optimized for hardware playback on the Tegra2. While MX and Dice can play a lot more video file types, their settings can get in the way of how the file plays. Using the stock player the videos should play just fine.

What did you convert?
from Bluray using dvdcat's Bluray mode or using file-mode (just the m2ts file directly)
Besides the settings you mentioned, you also mentioned the telicine option. Are there any other settings in "Global" that you enabled?
Try resetting DVD Catalyst to its defaults:
* Make sure DVD Catalyst is not running
* Click on "START" > "RUN" (or hold down the windows-key on your keyboard and tap the "R" key)
* In the run dialog, type in:
%appdata%
and click OK
*delete the "DVD Catalyst 4" folder
After that, start dvdcat, and if you want to convert Bluray (icw AnyDVD HD or something similar), enable power user, and enable the checkmark in the Bluray tab in Global Settings.
Then just select your profile, and leave the rest of the settings as they are.
so far i have tried about 5 different methods to convert to mp4 from mkv etc
I have used dvdcat to convert about 10 movies so far and have not run into sync problems.
I have left most things on default so dont find it cumbersome at all, in fact I found it a lot easier to use than most others, i do have a quadcore 4gb windows 7 64bit system though so runs pretty fast. I use eset nod32 smart security which is a superior product to kaspersky without false positives.
I will also play around with more options in time.
Nice to see some alternative methods here though which I will also try.
Any other methods guys?

You are welcome,
If you run into complications or have questions, rather than using this thread, maybe shoot me an email instead. I don't mind answering on forums, but I don't think this thread is the place for it though.
email is my username at gmail dot com.
I have to say that by taking your advice and setting things back to default that the Blu-ray rip came out perfect. It even came out smaller in size and the cropping was perfect. While most of my movies play in letterbox (black bars above and below the picture) that after ripping with DVD Catalyst and then playing in MX Video that I had no letterboxing. It played full screen. Stock video player and Dice Player both still played it in letterbox. The video setting was defaulted to 1280x720 and the video formatted out to 1280x544. There was no sync issues any more. Time to rip the movie Wanted using Aieesoft Blu-ray Ripper took a little over 2 hours and the time it took DVD Catalyst to rip the same movie was just over 40 minutes. Impressive to say the least.
Video player : Built-in video player
Encoder : FFMPEG (git-latest) command line. transcoding to playable MP4 format.
I just changed my dvdcat setup to just removing black bars from the video file instead of remove partial borders and quality is now better.
Removing partial borders lowered the resolution to 1072 x 512

I always use "remove from file" (the default) myself. The other ones cut off part of the video to get more screenfill. If you use a video player other than the stock, you can usually zoom the video anyway if you want full-screen.
I've been re-transcoding my movies using DVD Cat and while the movie Underworld "Evolution" ripped perfectly using default settings Underworld did not. It's defaulted to just removing the black bars but it shoved the video to the left and it was severely cut off on the left. I looked all through the settings and couldn't find anything to fix this. Although when I went to 'Preview' the setting was defaulted to 1.33:1 and the first little picture with the borders was selected. I had to put it down to 1.35:1 movie default and choose the second little picture without the borders. Strange; as it made it 1280x405, so it was constrained but it fit and had no borders on the TF.
Needless to say, DVD Cat is going to take some trial and error to figure it all out.
Underworld is a bit tricky because it is so dark.
In Global > Borders, you can increase the scan-point count, which should eliminate the issue you experienced. It is quite rare, but its tied to the way DVD Cat actually detects borders on movies. Rather than using fixed values, it takes screenshots of the movie at 5 (default) points, and then looks for the actual borders.

I remember seeing that. It's set at 5 right now. Is that a setting under the borders tab that's selectable or is it always on? I'm at work so I can't look at the software at the moment.
its defaulted at 5, but you can change it to something like 7 or 8.
I've only ran into the issue 3 times.
twice with episodes of 24, where the shots were taken during the time-display part, and Underworld 1
So what setting do you recommend; 7 or 8? I guess I'll just have to tinker with it when I get home. What is your final file dimmensions on Underworld 1 after transcoding with DVD Cat?
I'm converting blurays to video files 1080p for my TF using catalyst and anydvd. Which video format allows embedment of subtitles but also allows me to turn it on and off when I watch? I know with mp4, once the subtitles are embedded, you are stuck seeing it forever. Any advice would be appreciated.
Try MKV. You can insert several subtitles. If you have a decent player, you should be able to play it with or without subs.

How do I change video format in catalyst? The default is mp4. I'm sorry for being so noob. Tired and can't seem to find the option.
Get mkvtoolnix.
Since mkv is a container you can insert audio/video/subs to them despite the audio/video/sub format.

I really appreciate your help. I really do. But I'd rather just use it straight from catalyst. Remember that I'll be doing my entire bluray collection. I don't want to manually add in subtitles each time. All I want is to find the correct settings and then insert and press go everytime.

Please enlighten me about catalyst, since I don't use it...
I suppose you can drag your files and make the program convert all of them to a specific format. If the program is able to extract the subs from the blueray, I would suggest to make it save them separate from the video (if possible). For example, having Superman.avi and Superman.srt, this way you don't embed the subs in the movie and you should be able to turn them on/off in your player.
Aside from that, .mp4 supports embed dubs, so it should be possible also to do it that way.
You might want to take a look at handbrake; I don't have much experience with subtitles but remember seeing settings.

MPEG-4 Part 14/MP4 is also a container format. The difference is in Matroska/MKV are probably less limited in what you can shove in it.

So it has annoyed my for a long time that i couldn't take the recordings from tune in radio and listen/transfer them to my pc/mp3 player. this is a step by step guide on how to do it.
*important* make sure you know what format you made the recordings in (mp3/aac). just look on the right hand side of the track progress bar while recording live (see screenshot below) in this example it is recorded in aac. tune in will automatically record in mp3 format usually.
so, once you have the recording saved, connect your phone to pc via usb. navigate to your tunein folder, usually mnt/sdcard/tunein. find the recording you want to listen to/copy, it will look something like this; 20111131-074437. copy it over to your pc.
now, just add .aac or .mp3 to your file name. (.aac or .mp3 depending on what it was recorded as)
good? done! that's it. you now have your tunein recording as a readable file on your pc. if you want to remove ads/tracks in the recording, use an audio editor to do so. i use this; http://www.nch.com.au/splitter/index.html
it should be noted that for recordings 50mb+ it can be hit or miss with this method. so try to keep your recordings below about 2 hours long...
Need update
This method no longer works. Is there an updated process for exporting the recordings?
Hello ,
I am using Tunein for my Samsung Galaxy S2 (Android Ice Cream) and i am very happy with it .
I tryed to use the Recording for an Interview of mine.
In my screen (when the station played) i saw the *wma format.
Was exactly the same like ur attached pictured but with the wma as the format .
Recording it and i hearing it from my phone was fine.
Later i tryed to copy it and played in my PC.
I was very sad when i realized that i couldn't hear it or even opened it .
The recorded File didnt had any extation , so when i copyed to the Pc, could not recognized what program to use in order to play it.
Looking in the internet i saw several technik's but with No results . I also downloaded some wma convertes .
The problem is that Windows can not recognize the file .
When i simple change the extension to *wma (as u say in ur Post) again didnt worked.
PLz Help me ,
how i could play the file ( of my Radio Interview) in my PC and use-convert it as a common for exaple *mp3 file .
Tnk you .
I wish you a Happy New YEAR 2013

If it was streamed in wma format then thats what you have to save it as. Now, on PC vlc player can play wma files, if it doesn't for you then try installing the k-lite codec pack. that should take care of it.
I have same issue. Just recorded some radio (.aac) to test on nexus 7 using tune in pro. Changed name to.aac format and can not play back on nexus.

I tried this a year or so ago, and it failed - I used Windows Media Player, and Cool Edit Pro. Upon seeing your suggestion I tried it again, but with Audacity. So far, it works on the first few files. Will it work on the remainder? I hope so. Oh, The Hope of Audacity
HOW TO Play TuneIn Radio Recordings
TuneIn Radio Pro makes recordings in whatever format (MP3, AAC, WMA, etc) a source streams in,
but does not create legal container files, making recordings (deliberately) hard to play outside of TuneIn.
To determine the format of a given source, start a manual recording and note the format shown on the TuneIn screen.
To play a recording, copy the file from the TuneIn folder on the device to a computer,
and then rename the file to give it an appropriate file extension; e.g., .mp3 for MP3 audio.
The file should now be playable in VLC Media Player.
To play in other players less forgiving of file format issues, it will need to be converted with a tool like foobar2000 or Audacity.
Even VLC Player can convert those files into mp3 or whatever else

Standardize mp3 envelope without re-encoding?

Even VLC Player can convert those files into mp3 or whatever else

I am able to open TuneIn Radio recordings with VLC or Audacity on my Mac. I can also, apparently, export the files or selections in various formats, including MP3. But how do I do that without re-encoding them?
Does anyone know a way, even perhaps using a hex editor or unix commands, to convert TuneIn Radio recordings of mp3 streams into generally-recognizable mp3 files by changing the envelope but without re-encoding the actual audio content?
TIR?
My recordings are being saved as .tir and when I change it to mp3 or aac, nothing happens. I have tried opening it in Audacity, foobar, vlc, and regular windows media player.
Is there another setting I need to do in Tune In Pro?
I am using Tune In Pro on an iphone and ipad, JB with 6.1.2
Thanks

1. Where's the .tir file extension coming from? TIP creates recordings here with no file extension.
2. What's the format of the stream you're recording? As I explain in reply #9, TRP saves the stream in its native format, so you need to check the stream for the actual format before giving it an appropriate file extension. You'll have the least trouble with MP3, so record an MP3 stream if possible.

You might want to try MP3 Analyzer (fix and repair mp3 errors) in Helium Music Manager.
I've never tried it, but it sounds promising, and there is a free version.

I'm having the same issue as the previous poster with my iPhone and TuneIn Pro. I was listening to the BBC World Service earlier this morning (on my local NPR station, michiganradio.orgg and recorded the segment on the Cyprus bailout (which was really good by the way. absolute theft from the depositors without democratic process). I pressed record in TuneIn, did some Google'ing, downloaded and installed iExplorer, exported the recording (which had a .tir extension) to my desktop, and attempted to rename to .wav/.mp3. No VLC playback. I'm worried there might be some DRM in the file...anyone want to take a look and see what they might be able to do with the recording?
I've uploaded it to my Dropbox - https://dl.dropbox.com/u/1308556/recording.tir

That is different that what Android recordings look like. I couldn't get it to play in anything, seems like a format specifically for TuneIn, .tir probably stands for TuneIn Recording. On Android the recordings are simply in the same format as the stream since reencoding them in real time would waste CPU/battery. It seems like on the iPhone it would be the same way, but it appears not to be. Did you try searching the iPhone developers forum, its a sister site to XDA and there may be info over there.

same situation - no playback by VLC etc.
additionally I can hear only 1 (probably left) channel during playback using Tunein on my phone (S III) - who has similar observations?
one comment - name of the recorded stream is named based on current date but 1 month back
Worked for me. I can listen to my recordings.
thanks! :good: a great guide!
