[Q] AC3 audio in native video player?

I am using the newest 3.2 tiamat ROM and the native video player now appears able to easily play high profile 720p matroska contained h.264 video, but it doesn't seem to be able to handle the AC3 audio contained inside of it. Has anyone been able to inject something into the android OS to allow the stock video player to handle AC3?
I know I can convert, use a streamer, suffer with choppy video and get the audio with rock player, vplayer, qqplayer, etc, but I want to play it natively, as all the other options suck.
seems that the video player can *almost* handle 1080p high profile as well... so close.

Android phones Record video in 3gp? Am i dreaming?

i wanted to ask what is the deal with 3gp video recording on desire hd and htc hd2 custom android rom... I can't understand why android phones record video in 3gp??? i have desire hd and hd2 both record in 3gp file type... Does this mean that all android phones record video in 3gp? Can i somehow make my phone record in mp4 or some other video format? And after this, i officially say that desire hd is my last phone with android until they make avi or mp4 recording... I am happy i have a windows phone...

3gp's are basicly mp4's with a diff audio codec. Just rename it to mp4 and you should be fine.

@king_slavcho: 3gp, avi and mp4 are just containers. Knowing the container tells you nothing about which video and audio formats are inside, all three of them can store several different formats.
@InfiniteRisen: It's not a given that audio will be different, as 3gp can also store AAC audio. And just renaming the filename is *not* the thing to do, as the containers are slightly different. It might work most of the time, but that's just by chance.

As someone who has programmed using the FFMPEG API--which is considered the standard in the media encoding world-- I can vouch for what this man says; The AVI, MP4, m4v, etc are just formats(or 'containers' if you will) that hold the encoded video information. 3gp is probably more ARM friendly though.

[Q] Video Convert configurations

Guys I have HTC sensation,
Can any one tell me the configurations to convert the video to play on my phone..
like wise,
video size
bitrate
frame rate
aspect ratio
etc
video codec
I use imToo video converter..
I need HD video..
everytime i convert I see quality is gone worse..
Help././

Just use some more advanced media player, like MX Video Player. Streams mkv, mp4 and avi seamlessly over upnp - So ill guess it plays most others as well.

I'm using DicePlayer. It plays everything so far.

Either use MoboPlayer

Or convert your videos to be 960x540

[Q] Whats the best video format for a Flyer?

Hi all, I've got a Flyer 10.1 which has been upgraded to 3.2 Honeycomb. What is the best format to convert a movie to, is it MPEG or MP4? any help would be much appreciated!

Basically you are referring to the same format since .mpeg is MPEG-1 and .mp4 is MPEG-4. These are just different versions.
I think there isn't much of difference in which one you use.

Put any format, like mikpel said over me
But for watching the movies try to use the MX player... for the PRO version, just google it
If you get some lags on the video, switch to S/W and its gonna work better but just if the video gets lagy

There is a difference as an mp4 can be in various codecs such as h264 or xvid whereas a standard mpeg video cannot.
Most common mp4 formats use xvid or h264 video codec with mp3 or aac audio.
Flyer supports mp4 in h263, h264, divx and xvid codecs with mp3 aac or wma audio.
Best for quality yet smaller filesize is h264 video with aac audio but an xvid avi mp4 with mp3 audio can be played on pretty much any thing and is similar in quality though produces slightly larger filesizes.

Problem with audio for video

I'm trying to play a mkv file that's bluray 720p DTS X264, the video plays fine but there's no audio. I played youtube videos and there's audio. I've tried the following:
BS Player
MX Player
Mobo Player
File size: 2.17GB
The videos are on a Sandisk 32GB microSD class 10, exfat format. If it matters, the mkv file is prison break. Yes, I've tried playing the video on my PC and there's audio. The sound for the players are on max volume.

Install Dice player and search on xda how to solve the problem with dts and Dice player.

I haven't had any problems with BS Player (free version) and DTS audio. Granted I have only tried with 1080p video, but that shouldn't matter.
What tracks (and their encoding) does Media Info list in the mkv?
If there is more that 1 audio track, did you try playing another audio track?
Have you tried playing from internal storage?
