Hi all. I use CloneDVD Mobile. Any idea what miht be the best settings to record movies for my phone. I see no settings anywhere where it shows the resolution being like the one on my screen. Thanks in advance.
I just picked
CloneDVD up my self after reading good reviews.
I am told (not been there yet, but plan too in the next week) if you go to the slysoft forums, they will tell you all the info you need. And they are very nice about it. Keep in mind this is second hand info, but it comes from a reliable source, my Father..
If you find anything out before I can post back later this week, update here please, and we can have this for everyone to who might use CloneDVD.
Cheers
Ok. I used the Sony Playstation 3 16:9 settings. I then set it at 720x480 (NTSC TV). No idea what it means but I just put Avatar on my phone and it looks great. Remember to put the file in your DCIM:100MEDIA Folder as that is where the movies can be played by the HTV video player which is superior to Windows Media Player. Hope this helps.

Thanks. It works great.
Thought I'd make a thread for things that do work well on the Sensation and may make people stick to this phone until the other issues are resolved.
DLNA function: I spent a few hours putting my Samsung TV on my network and I can send video, pics and music direct from my phone to my TV via Wifi from anywhere in the house and its very very good. I have a film in AVI and it steamed perfectly.
Forward SMS to email: I think this is in 2.3.3 anyway but useful when phone it unusable like at some work places.
Built in streaming: I can scan music, videos and pics from a file server and play them on the phone directly with no additional software.
Lexar 32 gig MicroSD Class 10: Definitly works fine in this phone. Check Amazon
Built in slideshow as wallpaper: I like having different background images randomly and this is good for that. Point it at a folder full of images (I have a folder full of downloaded landscapes, sea, etc., type images specifcally for this. It replaces the need for things like Wallpaper Rotator. Only snag is that it changes the images every 30 seconds or so so it maybe CPU intensive (doesn't seem to be though). I'd rather it was hourly but can't see anywhere to change it.
Please add others as you find them.
Lockscreen icons and lockscreen animations: I like having weather animations or my photos spinning around under the lock screen, looks cool. Also being able to change the lock screen icons does make that feature quite handy

Make sure you have Wi-Fi turned on
(Also ensure Media Centre on your PC is set to share music, videos etc)
Go to Gallery
At the top where it says ALBUMS, click and select Media Servers
Select your PC
Mine says Media PC: Media
then it will find the catagories of the files it can find, you just chose what you wish to play
It really is that simple!!

If your streaming server is any good it can transcode .mkv on the fly to something the phone can play.
I'll go try it with an MKV file right now...bear with me, wife has the remote
I am using Windows 7 as the media server, btw
No good with MKV. None of the players on my phone will play it natively even though my Samsung TV plays them fine from a hardrive or memory stick. On my phone I have Divxplayer (or demoplayer) and moboplayer and they wont play it on the phone itself, let along anywhere else. Need a player that supports these. I think the Desire used to play MKV with Divxplayer but I don't think it likes the Sensation resolution.
Anyone any ideas?

have you tried diceplayer?
I'll give it a try now.
Diceplayer plays MKV on the phone ok but cant find a way to push that to the TV

Thanks! That is simple! Not tried it yet, but presumably it will work with the built-in Windows Media Player server of Windows 7, and also TVersity, just like my PS3 does and can see both.
Could you please advise as to whether HDMI mirroring works, particularly in landscape mode?
Also do you have a Wiimote? The BT stack should support it but I see people asking this question feverishly as though they're concerned... I think it should work, but now everyone's casting doubts in my mind.
PS. You're a lucky bastard lol... I'm dying to get a Sensation!!

wii mote will not work because htc sense messes it up it does it for all sense devices
Rock player supports mkv also try using skifta to stream it via dlna
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
Rockplayer may support MKV but it doesn't like the resolution or something because it drops out as soon as it starts to play. Actually Rockplayer plays MKV fine on my wife's Desire so it must be a resolution issue because as the Sensation is qHD
hey guys. when I got my Evo I asked this same question. I was recommended Transformers 2 and Avatar...and I was given specific bitrate and resolution to put into Handbrake and I ended up with amazing looking videos that the Evo could play without any hiccups.
I moved my same Avatar movie over to the Xoom now and it doesn't look quite as good (obviously).
what resolution and bitrate (or handbrake specific settings) do you recommend, and what movie do you recommend, to really blow me away when watching it on the Xoom?
thanks
download moboplayer from the market and see if that helps.... its free
Well, the xoom settings I use are actually very similar to the ipad. So use that as a base and then just tweak it a little.
just do a simple search on "Video" and you will find any treads with tips and info about Tegra2 and movies. This has been talked about plenty.
I use Dvdcatalyst to convert my videos, or VidsOpt v0.2.1 - Fast MP4 Muxer/Converter

1280*720 is what will look and fits best because your screen is 1280*800. Just download some 720p mp4 videos.
Here you have some samples that you can use to show off

Hmmm if you want also to watch youtube you need profeasional version but for me it is enough without youtube. I was amazed that it can show full hd video without laggs even if i surf the net and etc. Tried also stickup but didnt like it, laggy, not free
Agreed, the app is just fine as it is. It works super smooth on Note as well as my Asus transformer tablet. Might buy the app if price is reasonable to support the developer, very professional quality app.
Thanks man, downloading now to give it a try.
its not playing simple .avi file

Yeh lol, biggest thnx goes for amazing developer i was going also to buy s3 but now of all those software features will be ported to note, so then i prefer waiting for note 2
tried big bunny sample 1080p http://www.bigbuckbunny.org/index.php/download/ and no laggs, smooth, amazing app
nice app. thanks for the heads up
question: just tried this with big bunny 1080p and am unable to change audio channel. the default on that file seems to be no audio. had the same issue when playing it with mxplayer, had to select audio channel manually but i cant find out to do that in this app?

hmmm, seems that we need to wait for more available formats, as i can see this app not so long time ago apeared, so we need to wait
but i have tried .avi and for me it works. Maybe try to install mx video player and it will install codecs in your phone or you have custom rom, because im using lpy stock
ive had a good play with the free version and there are a couple of minor issues.
cant select multiple audio tracks 720p/1080p mkv
with subtitle checked still doesnt show subs 1080p mkv
crashes too
but apart from that this app is fecking awesome. i think it has single handedly restored my faith in android. i was browsing imdb while watching hd tv shows with no lag what so ever
hi,
I use popcorn with the AM7 and I would like to watch it on the TV screen. Do you know how it could be transformed? I don't think chromecast will work (unless someone will assure - popcorn is not gallery...)
1. software option?
2. if not - what cable do we need?
Thx
I'm using it with chromecast, works great!
Popcorn and netflix works great and you can even turn of mt7 display to safe battery.
For kodi you have to keep it on (in screen mirroring modus)

Great news!
Do you use the original Chromecast hardware, or an identical Chinese stick is enough?
Does the Chromecast enable the mirroring icon on the cell screen to choose?
Does it real 1080p on screen without loosing quality?
Also sound?
Thx

Using the Chromecast as well. No problems, it works on Popcorn Time, Netflix, YouTube and you can even show off your own movies and pictures through the google photo app (need to sync them though, I remember)!

Yes in chromecast enabled apps i get the chromecast icon, i have a genuine chromecast and video & audio is good. No stuttering etc (but that can also depend on your router)
