Putting Movies on Nexus One and Good Video Player?

Im curious what methods you guys use to take a DVD and turn it into a playable video on your Nexus One, start to finish. Please be sure to include all steps and links to any and all software you use.
Also, any opinions on the best video players for the Nexus One?
Thanks!

Doubletwist.
Download the Windows software on your computer.
It will sync with your phone, and convert divx and such videos for you.
You basically Sync, pick the video, it does the rest. Takes a LoNG LONg time.
Video Player by jeff Hamilton is a good video player. very simple.
nemo Player also works. The apk is floating around this specific forum.

OK I tried to post but my post had links and since I'm a new member I can't post links. anyhow PM me and I can try to send you the links there

I use Any DVD Converter http://www.any-dvd-converter.com/
Has a Nexus One setting to get full screen videos (800 x 480)
The OP said DVD to Nexus One and doubleTwist doesn't do DVD to N1 (Unless its been updated?)
You simple put in your DVD press Load DVD in the program and select the video/s you want and press convert Pretty fast on my Quad-core/4GB so speed will depend on your PC spec.

I use handbrake to convert my videos. opensource and fast

I agree. Handbrake is the bomb! It's fast and cross-platform. I just select the iPod/Iphone profile when converting and the videos come out really well on my Nexus.

I didn't know Handbrake had a windows version! I always use it on my MacBook for my iPhone and Nexus One
Cheers I've now installed on my Windows PC!

[Q] Digital Bluray movies

I have purchased several movies on Bluray that came with a digital copy. I’ve tried several times to download these movies to my Tab, but I get an error every time. I’ve tried using Windows media player and I-tune with no luck. Anyone know how to get these movies to play on the Tab?

You most likely can't use those digital copies since they contain DRM that the Tab doesn't. What you can do is use the BR or DVD disc and just rip and covert to a Tab-friendly format. Handbrake works wonders for this. There's a thread in General about it.

Thanks, I'll try that.

[Q] stream and view windows media center tv recordings from sky drive?

once i re encode my media center recordings of tv shows am i able to dump them in my sky drive and view them on my windows phone?
i am seriously running out of space on my 16 gig titan

I don't believe the phone inherently supports opening media files (other than photos) from SkyDrive, though I might be wrong. In any case, a third-party app could do this, though I don't know of one that will. Sorry.

Try Qloud Media app, you don't have to transcode medias by yourself or use SkyDrive, your home PC will be enough for that task.

Man, I wish we could get something like an Orb app. Then you should be able to play the WM recordings.

I just tried running a recorded tv show through mycast.orb and it wouldn't work with any of the formats available. I guess we are sol with orb for now.

Plex just came out. So you can use that.

Streaming avi files from Dropbox

I have tried several players with no luck streaming a .avi file from dropbox. Has anyone had any success in doing this?

u cant stream only download

Can you stream media from any of the cloud sources

Hey, so I ran across this post today because I was trying to do the same thing. It took me a while, but I think I may have figured it out.
Go to the play store and download these two:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.anttek.explorer&hl=en
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.anttek.remote.cloud&hl=en
.
Sign in on the Drop Box client in the Anttek (on the top left of the application: click on device, select cloud , and then Dropbox)
From there pick the file and play!
I tested it with Mx Player, Mobo Player, and VLC Beta player. Worked on all of them perfectly, Mx Player took a while but VLC player Beta Player worked like "butter" on some Jelly beans haha ;-)
My phone: HTC Sensation
My Rom: Virtuous Eclipse
Android 4.03
HTC Sense 4.0
I hope this works!! Good Luck my fellow Android user!

no jacking off tonight :laugh:

That is a genius workaround. I'll definitely be using that since I have unlimited LTE. Thanks.

I downloaded the two apps that you suggested and I also downloaded the vlc direct pro free app, but when I try to open a video file using the file explorer it says the file size is too large to open directly. Can you upload a full length movie to dropbox and then try your method to see if it still works?

Is dropbox the only cloud storage with this issue or can you stream avi's from google drive?

You should be able to start downloading any video file from most hosting services and immediately be able to play it in your video player of choice (I use DicePlayer). Then when you are finished watching the video, you can delete the file after.
At least this is what works best for me...

UMGixxer, I figured it out.... Go to dropbox app, rename the video to .flv. For example. ToyStory3.MPV may not play, but ToyStory3.FLV will play... Tell me if this works!!

My pleasure bro! Hopes it works for you dude!!

Well I downloaded another media player "mx player" and it worked fine, I think I didnt have the actual vlc player that i was trying to use. But I wonder if your method will work with the stock media player.

Good question, I havent tried it. But then again, I never use the stock media player...

You can do this in ES File Explorer as well, just by linking it to your Dropbox account. You do need a media player that will play the formats you've got on Dropbox--MX Player works well for me.

Swapping music

Putting music from my pc to my moto and found that some of the albums that were put on the phone do not come up in Google music. I downloaded another player and same results. I then downloaded a file explorer and see them but for some reason it says cannot play.
I own the music (I always rip my CD's when purchased and store them) so do not see any copyright issue. They play fine on my Galaxy S5.
Any ideas?
