how to watch long movies on the vox

Maybe this is a really dumb question,
but i have this problem with longer movies, say 50 movies. If i watch them on my phone they hang and lag terribly! i dont know what the problem is... short movies arent the problem! plz help

which player do u use?
try tcpmp.
i watch much longer movies using that and no lag.

tried tmcp but same result! could it be that my memory card is too slow?

maybe the video you are watching is too big to handle for the vox's cpu ? if thats the case.. then use PocketDivXEncoder to scale down the file and qulity, which you can't see on the phone.. This allways works and you won't have any lag at all .. ! Try it, its free.. Not only that but your video files will get much smaller in size!

It usually is a memory problem. You should reencode them to lower bitrates and/or resolution and use a codec that doesn't need much processing power!
EDIT: Ups you were faster!

Hehe well then it just got confirmed..
But my suggestion would be that you use TCMP and then encode your videoes with PocketDivXEncoder.. It encodes the movies in divx format which TCPMP supports fully..

Good TIPS Friends... I convert all movies to MP4 format and plau using my default 710 (Windows Media Player). No issue for me. I will also have a try of TCPMP player and compare it Hope this will be much light for phone memory
Q: What format is best for pocket pc (MP4 or Divx converted by PocketDivXEncoder) ?

Video Recoding Tutorial - Video Settings
I worked on this pretty long and finally I do it this way:
Convert my videos with "Any Video Converter" (Freeware, google for it).
Use the following setting and the video will flow easily and the quality remains good:
Profile (defines the format): Mobile Phone MPEG-4 Movie
Codec: mpeg4
Size: 320x240 or 220x176, in this case size doesn´t really matter and does not effect the filesize that much.
Videobitrate: 96 kb/s is enough and gives u a good videoquality, the audioquality is more important, especially when u listen on the build in speakers.
video framerate: 15 fps (frames per second) are enough for fluid playback.
Audio Bitrate at least 128kbs, lower bitrate will sound like a tin.
Samplerate: 48000, sothat the audio is synch to the video.​
So finally u will get a 90min. movie with about 130-150MB. That sounds little, but believe me, the quality is as good as a 300MB movie. If the quality is bad, the original movie itself has alot of pixelfractures in it.
U can watch the movie in win-mediaplayer without any codec-problems.
I got about 30 full length movies on my 4GB storagecard on VOX.
Here are my tips:
U can batch-encode them, just load the movies in the prog an check all boxes, do the settings once and let the prog recode all movies.
U can merge 2 files into 1. if u got the movie in 2 parts for example. just check the 2 files and rightclick merge down.
Check the aspectratio of your movies. in most cases it´s no problem with 320x240 size, but if u haven´t got a 16:9 movie, for example a 4:3 or widescreen without letterboxes, the movie will not be shown correctly, concerning the ratio. in this case set the size to "original", and probably change the settings in win mediaplayer not to fit the video automatically on screen.
What increases or decreases filesize the most are the video and audio bitrates.
Tried it a million times, the settings here are the best. otherwise u will get a huge filesize with almost no better video quality. But don´t get lower than the settings I mentioned above.
so thats my way, works best!!
PS: It´s actually not a matter of what player u use, it´s just that videoplayback in general uses the cpu heavily. But even if u got a better phone with better cpu u can use this settings, as I mentioned, u cannot see alot of diffrence to an 300MB movie, but u will be able to store the doubled amount of movies on your sd-card.

Question: Movies on cappy?

i got some 700mb avi movies and dropped it on my phone. it said it could not play. do i need to resize it or is it an encoder issue? maybe the file size is too big? idk!
thanks

What player are you trying to use?

use rockplayer or vplayer, I had played 2.7gb mkv 720p movie with no issue.

Try the program "handbrake" with high profile settings

Are you using a custom rom? Because I have been watching 700 mb .avi and great big hd .mkv with no problem, on both stock and newest cognition. Only format I HAVE had a problem with is m2ts.

I use PavTube Ultimate Blu-Ray Converter to make Xvid MP4 files out of my discs. They work great on the Captivate. I played around with different settings and there really isn't much visual difference between using the native 800x480 resolution compared to HD rez, but the difference in file size is significant.

I get the same issues with some AVI's in both Rockplayer and the stock player on the stock rom. Haven't tried movies since flashing to Cognition 2.3b7. MKV's don't typically play in rockplayer, the few that have skipped a ton, or they would play with no audio. Not sure what you guys are doing to your movies to make them play. All of my videos are encoded properly, and play on my WD TV Live just fine. The WD is a good test of media quality for rips.

The WD TV Live also can play pretty much any audio and video codec you throw at it.

There have been mkv's that have not played correctly on it, so if it's not encoded properly, the WD is a good test, from my experience.

I have some 700mb xvid movies on my phone and they play fine on stock rom w/stock player. But I highly recommend vplayer for video and rtsp watching.

Yep. Gave Handbrake a shot. Works like a charm. Will download vplayer and check it out
thanks fellas

What kind of settings are you guys using for your conversions?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA App

followed the settings outlined on this webpage:
http://www.knowyourcell.com/samsung/samsung-captivate/captivate-guides/513592/how_to_convert_videos_and_transfer_them_to_the_samsung_captivate.html
Requirements:
Installed copy of Handbrake software
Video files and or DVD of your choice
Samsung Captivate with microUSB cable
Step I: Launch the Handbrake application on your computer and select the video source
In the menu on the right-hand side, select the iPod Legacy preset (figure 1)
Select your video source by clicking on the Source dropdown menu (we used a DVD for our testing purposes)
Select the destination and name for the file once it has been converted (both the .mp4 and .m4v extension work for the Captivate)
Confirm that the container is set to MP4 File and that Large file size, Web optimized, and iPod 5G support are unchecked
Step II: Adjust Handbrake's Video Settings
Picture Tab:
Uncheck Keep Aspect Ratio
Set the Captivated Width and Height (the Captivate supports a maximum of 800 x 480 pixels)
Video Tab:
Confirm the Video Codec is set as H.264 (x264)
Framerate (FPS) should be set to Same as source
Under Quality, select the Avg Bitrate (kbps) and change it to 1500
Step III: Adjust audio settings
Confirm the Audio Codec is AAC (faac)
Mixdown should be set to Stereo
Change the Samplerate to 48
Change the Bitrate to 160
Step IV: Save as a preset for future use
Click on the Presets menu and select New Preset
Enter Captivate in the dialog box and click Add
"Captivate" will now be saved as a preset and listed on the right hand side in Handbrake to be used in the future
Step V: Convert the video and copy to your Captivate
Click on the Start button in Handbrake
A command line/DOS window will open and start to process the video conversion
Once the conversion is done, mount your Captivate on to your computer via USB
Once mounted, create a folder named Video in the root folder on the Captivate
Copy converted file into the Video folder
That's it! The converted video can now be played on your Captivate using the Gallery app. It should look fantastic on the Captivate's screen as long as the original source was of good quality.
A few things to keep in mind when converting video:
The Captivate does not like video file sizes over 2GB (the settings in Step II should help insure that the file size is kept under 2GB)
Your converted video will only be as good as the source video
If your source is over 800 x 480, you must be sure to set the width and height to a maximum of 800 x 480 as noted in Step II

Tried Handbrake using the settings above and the video was garbage. I'll stick with Pavtube as it converts anything I throw at it in any format without issue and it does Blu-Ray, as well. Looks like 1500 bit rate is the sweet spot for good video quality and manageable file size.

I believe all you have to click is High profile on the right side , that is it

I don't think u would need to convert any vids for the captivate. Captivate by itself plays a variety of formats

Actually, since I'm ripping mostly Blu-Ray discs, they DO need to be converted. And I did a check ripping standard DVD to both mpg2 and mp4. A 50mb mpg2 rip was about 3:40 (min:seconds) whereas the same settings ripped to mp4 was closer to 4:20. Over the span of a complete movie, the mp4 conversion will yield a smaller file size.

Trouble ripping movies to my TBolt...

I have been using an older version of DVDFab v8.0.7.3 to convert dvd's to m4v files to watch on my phones. All of my older movies play fine. Anything I convert now with this newer version will not play. They will play fine on my computer but not my TBolt. I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong. Anyone familiar with DVDFab v8.0.8.5 feel like giving me a little heads up?

Try avi format.

What are you using to play the video. Try a different player.

I have the stock video player and the 3d gallery one. But that still doesn't explain why my older videos work and the newer one don't unless there is a problem with the new program I'm ripping from vs the older version.

I've used Badaboom, Xilisoft Video and AVS to convert videos. If you're really nuts like me, first you use SlySoft to remove the DRM from the DVD in your computer's optical drive. Then I use 1ClickDVDCopyPro to rip the DVD into a folder on my hard drive.
From that hard drive folder I use AVS Video Converter (v7) to create a video from the profile for Android devices with some slight modifications. I change the frame size to 800x480 or 720x480. I also change the audio down to 128kbps (just to save space). The bitrate for the video I go between 800 and 1500, depending. For documentaries and dramas, 800 to save space and 1500 for action movies to give a cleaner video playback.
Then use RockPlayer (download the ARM v7 - don't use the universal player) to playback the MP4 video. That's the best success I've had with converting my own video.
Usually anything that I download from the Internet, I use the Xilisoft Video Converter (v6.5.3) to create pretty much the same thing as the DVD rips. The reason I don't use Xilisoft for DVD rips is the way it reads the IFO files from DVD's. The AVS software is pretty intuitive for the files based on the IFO. I also try to download the highest quality I can find so I don't lose much in re-encoding the video to a lower bitrate.
Good luck. Hope that rambling above helps.

Oh yeah. Forgot to mention. I've used Badaboom, but found it slow and didn't seem to make my video conversions better or equal to the AVS or Xilisoft converters. Hard to tell on the TB because of the small screen, but when viewed on the computer it looks worse by comparison.
Plus, the Xilisoft CUDA seems to work faster (I have a new Intel Sandy Bridge with a GTX 460 for processing) than the Badaboom. Xilisoft converts 4 videos at a time on my computer, each hour long video taking about 15-20 minutes to complete (simultaneously). Very nice.

Well... I tried that Rock Player and it works okay. I still can't figure out for the life of me why my other videos play when they were created the same way as the newer ones. Rock player seems to play them fine and the stock player plays the avi files I created I just don't think they look as good as the m4v ones I made previously. I guess I'm just going to have to fool around with it alot more to get things figured out.

For newer movies, DVDFAB to remove the protection then Handbrake to convert. DVDFAB is free for just ripping DVDs but they don't make that really known on their website. This is possibly the most fool-proof way to do it but it also gives you plenty of options if you're into that.

What are the specs on the videos that you are trying to play?
Here is a vid of me using Vital Player on the transformer with a H.264 encoded MP4 and an MKV movie. No lag, no sync issues.

If the movies you're trying to watch are encoded with High profile then playback will be laggy no matter what on the TF.

Okay I'm a new when it comes ti all these video formats.. all I know is that I get choppy playback
So this handles 1080 but with some tweaks I'm assuming..again, I'm a new at this
Were those movies you converted? Is so you mind writing up a little tutorial
Thanks

For the MKV, I downloaded it was already encoded so I am not sure of its specs, but the playback quality and resolution are excellent even on my desktop's 24" HD monitors.
For the MP4 played at the beginning of the video, that was shot in 1920x1080, brought into Premiere CS5 for editing and exported through Adobe Media Encoder using H.264 at 1280x720.
There are some threads with Handbrake encoding specs on the forums as well.
When using Vital player make sure the Decode Mode settings are set to automatic. It will automatically recognize there is no hardware acceleration (as I understand is normal with the Tegra-2). It will then compensate with "software acceleration". Also in the Video Mode settings I have it set to speed over quality as the performance is better without sacrificing much of the quality to my eye.
With these settings, Vital Player should play just about any video you might download off of a torrent site. I have yet to find a video that does not play well through it. I'm not sure if other users who say it does not work for them have checked the Vital Player settings, if my videos are just not up to the elusive "high profile" they are talking about, or if I just have a rare Transformer that just works, but as you can see in the video it does work for me.

So you had to encode the mkv or mp4 before playback? So it cant just play them straight up?
Sent from my Transformer TF101 using XDA Premium App

I believe that nearly any video you get is going to need be encoded in some form at some time.
The MKV was more than likely encoded by someone else before I downloaded, but no further encoding was necessary on my end. The MP4 was shot on my own camera (Canon 7D recording at 1920x1080p) and needed to be edited. When you export directly from the timeline in Premiere, it must be encoded to even be usable. For sites like YouTube or Vimeo to even accept them there must be encoding. The H.264 encoding that I used is the highest setting for that type of video's purpose (HD web playback). It is different than what I would have exported for burning to Blu-Ray but is adequate for a screen the size and resolution of the Transformer's.
When I return home, I will try bringing in the raw, unedited video from the 7D (which is around 3GB for a 4 minute vid at that resolution btw) and see if Vital Player plays it back with no lag. I seriously doubt it as some average computers have a hard time playing that back without lag. Even Final Cut Pro can't import raw 7D video without a conversion (Adobe Premiere does not have this problem though). Why anyone would want to play a video of this size and resolution on a tablet is beyond me (3GB for 4mins is ridiculous in a playback form). I can't even imagine wanting to watch a full length movie in that form.
Both of these videos seriously choke in any player other than Vital Player (including Mobo, QQ, and MVideo). I couldn't play any video in my library with them or the stock player, but all of these files play just fine in Vital.

90% of all HD videos you download the internet are ripped from blu-ray and likely encoded with high profile h264 because that's what looks best. the tegra 2 cannot handle these files at 720 or 1080p, and thus they need to be re-encoded to main profile, which as i understand it, means a much lower bitrate (and thus worse picture).

i believe that is flash only, as in 720/1080 youtube streaming which is much lower quality than a high profile blu-ray rip. the problem is tegra 2, which is a year old, not supporting 720/1080p playback. it's the reason boxee box dropped tegra for an intel chip.

[Q] DVD / Bluray ripping?

I have some mkv files on my desktop of the kids blu rays, but I'm looking for something to put it onto the tablet for a plane ride we have to take without having to lug the portable dvd player around. I was thinking about putting some of the files onto my old 7" SGT for my daughter and wondered what might be a decent way to do so. I read about handbrake a little, but wasn't successful in the past when I was trying it out (decryption problems). That was a while back, but wondered if anyone is using anything more current that might help me out.
In addition... is MKV workable on the tf700? It's going to gobble up a ton of SD space but might be fun...

first, try this:
drag the videos to your device, and then download DicePlayer or MX Player (diceplayer if my fav when it comes to mkv). Try playing the videos with either app.
if you experience issues, you can convert using handbrake (i havent used this app in a while), or you can go with DVDCatalayst, my preferred method. It has tons of preset for all devices and is easy to use. I convert 4gb blu ray movies all the time. Shrinks them down to about 1 to 2gb, depending on which preset you use. You have the option to go smaller or bigger.

Another good player is BSPlayer (incase you want to try). Like timrock says, most files play just fine. I'm also using Wondershare player to play DVD's (like VIDEO_TS files), but Dice/BS can both play vob files too.

Are you ripping out to VIDEO_TS folders or can you make a single MKV file to make it easier to transport? I only used MKV's for blu rays but I assume it would compact the DVD's down a little from their full size a little?

I just put a 20gb bluray rip on my 64gb microsd, movie plays great with bsplayer. Keep in mind only h.264 videos will work. Blurays with vc1 video will fail.

One of the main advantages of a droid tablet is you don't have to convert the vast majority of titles out there. I spent so much time ripping stuff to my ipods and psp before. With tegra 3 and mxplayer, I can play basically everything.

Personally, when I have MKVs, I use XMedia Recode to recode them to MP4 -- it lets me copy the video without re-encoding, which takes only about 5 minutes to re-encode a 2 hr 1080p video. I do this for both my phone, tablet, and PS3 media server.

This method will not work with mkvs that come from vc1 based blurays. Mp4 can't contain vc1 video and so far nothing can play vc1 on infinity with HW accel.

I must be doing something wrong - it takes at least a 1/2 hour to recode a mkv rip of a full length movie.

You sure it's actually re-encoding it and not just transcoding it? E.g. is the size about the same as before?
MKV and MP4 are just container formats, you're just wrapping the actual video and audio streams into different container formats, really. Transcoding is pretty much just copying the streams which is fast (usually limited by disk speed), while re-encoding is a heavy CPU/GPU task. Even with Quick Sync it'd take quite a bit longer for a 90+ min movie.

Correct all that tool is doing is repackaging the video and probably transcoding the audio into stereo, into MP4. If you use BS player there is no real reason to do this.

Fifth Element mkv is 27gb so I have to transcode it... guess I am doing it right after all...

I tried this method and was pretty smooth, but I find the brightness of the converted movie 'hunts' up and down a bit during playback. Not quite sure how the various options work, but is there something to check?

Does anyone have a 1080p Preset that they have created and verified as working for the Infinity? I did a few google searches but they either use a different piece of SW or are focused on 720P!

i downloaded a 1080p copy of Hunger Games, i think it was about 12gbs. It played fine with BS Player. No conversion required.

Just FYI, torrenting movies is illegal, _even if you own the movie_. Why? B/c you are still giving away the movie to others (peers) while you are downloading it. Just sayin'

I think that everyone who downloads torrents, knows this already.
FYI, i never said i downloaded the movie via torrent.

I tried put some .mkv files to TF700, but the device rejected the files. I tried the MX player I installed, the playback in loggy. To get a smooth playback on TF700, I have to googled some other methods. And finally I made up my mind to re-encode the .mkvs.
I found the useful guide Play MKV files on Transformer Pad Infinity TF700 flawlessly from tablet-video-tips.com

and this is why i say this topic should be a sticky, specifcally for this.
BS Player will play your MKV movies without you having to re-encode them.
