I like TP function that they could connect to monitor out for presentation, etc..
But would it be better if TP could use TV-Out cable as a TV-In and record some TV programs, and convert into FLV or MPG formats ?
Anyone could develop this idea?
Thanks.
I don't think it has the hosrpower to do that.... Outputting is one thing but receiving a signal and encoding on the fly... Naaaah not gonna happen...
However a small device that plugged into the USB, and essentially streamed video direct to the built ijn memory card would be possible, but somebody would have to create it !
I don't think it can be done, for the same reason you can't just "convert" a TV-out on a PC video card to TV-in. It requires different hardware, which isn't there. That's why you need to buy a video capture card.
Well, you could just point your camera at a TV showing the video source...

You mis-understand, the device I have in mind IS a video capture card, with USB host facillities, allowing it to use the phone as a USB hard drive to store it's video on, this video could then be played back on the phone !

Yes, I think that's a valid idea, I was actually replying to asiandelight's post, because he mentions the TV-out cable.
Hi,
I've been searching the forum and reading a few posts but I still have some basic questions about converting my DVD's to play on touch HD. Apologies in advance if some seem a bit obvious but having never converted anything i'm sure what the best route is. OKay:
1: I've decoded some dvd's and copying them to my hard drive -i presume this is necessary for all dvd's?
2: I then have to convert them to 800x480 - which is the best software? SUPER looks confusing so haven't really used it much, and i downloaded a trial of iSofter which seemed a bit easier BUT which is the best software for a beginner? Something easy and obvious?
3: how long does it take? when I ran SUPER and iSofter it seemed to take 3/4 hours for 1 DVD. IS this normal? Or have do I have to change the settings and choose something to make it faster?
Once I've managed to copy over my first DVD I'm sure all the other posts about quality, resolutions, etc will make a lot more sense. Just want to try and watch one...
Cheers,
Paddy
I always do it a little differently. I use AutoGK to back up my DVD's, which will back them up to CD sized, whilst still being watchable on my TV using my stand-alone divx player, (or the TV out from your graphics card). This typically takes 3-5 hours using my 2.3ghz athlon. If I then want to watch on my PDA, I use pocketdivxencoder, which takes about 20-40 mins to reduce it down.
Both these pieces of software are free, and are very easy to use.
My thoughts....
I myself use Handbrake to rip any DVD that I have to my PC and then use either AnyVideoConverter or Format Factory to convert the files to an acceptable AVI quality for all my family's mobile devices. All 3 programs are straightforward and easy to use. Below are links for you to find out for yourself.
HandBrake
Any-Video-Converter
Format Factory
Hope that helps!!
PS. And as for the time it takes to convert the videos, yes those times are about right, depending on you PC's CPU. The CPU is the single biggest factor when ripping and converting video, with memory coming in 2nd and hard drive space a close 3rd.
DVD Catalyst is the best and will do it all. What format, how good of quality and whatever else you can think of. It is user friendly out of the box/download and as you get use to the settings you can adjust them accordingly. Google it and give the trial a shot. I have use this software for years now and have yet to find anything as good.
I use Magic DVD Ripper to convert DVD to AVI
To convert to .mp4 i use AONE FLV to AVI MPEG WMV 3GP MP4 iPod Converter it actually converts every format not just FLV very easy to use and good results.
All in all a very easy process
Hi All,
Cheers for the replies - really useful. So the timing thing was right, and it looks like that new PC I need will have be bought sooner rather than later as the CPU, etc on current one is pretty slow.
Just one more thing - what setting you guys use? I have a Touch HD so I presume the screen should be set to 480x800, but I haven't a clue about rates, frames pre second, sound quality, etc. Some pointers would be brilliant. So is AVI good for smaller file sizes. The files just have to be good enough to watch on the train etc without to much flicker or jumping. Hopefully I'll be watching The Wire on the train soon!
Cheers (again)

If your going do display in widescreen so the device in sideways then the res will be 800x480 unless the media player automatically does this?
The frame rate want to be the same as original source you can find this by right clicking properties on the file and tab summary, the best format for mobile video is .mp4 as they hold the quality but are low in data, as the less data you have to pull @ a time off a memory card helps too.
So I rented a movie using the new Movies tab on my Transformer. I plugged in the HDMI out to my big TV and everything seemed to work fine, launcher showing and everything.
When I tried to play the movie the screen went black on both the transformer and the TV, but the sound still played from the movie over the TV speakers. If I unplug the HDMI cable the movie instantly works on the Transformer.
Are we not able to push Google Movies out of the HDMI port ? Maybe I just have a bad cable ? Everything else works fine though.
Anyone else have this issue ?
Download a test MP4 file from somewhere and try.
HDMI protocol implementation
I think its due to differences between HDMI protocol implementation on the devices on both sides of the cable. It happened a lot with other devices like HMDI out on ATI graphics cards and certain audio/video receivers like Yamaha. Also, early HDMI 1.3x specification was not implemented correctly on many devices...
I'm afraid its the same case with the Transformer and certain TV's. Some people report HDMI-out works on Samsung's...others have problem with Sony's...
The real problem is...where's the fault...should TV makers update their firmware (lot of newer TV's can be upgraded!) or should Asus update their Transformer firmware for more compatibility with peer devices?
Don't have an MP4 on hand, not a big recording/movie buff.
It doesn't work on either of my computer monitors either
I have the same problem. I have several mp4 movies that I've encoded myself and they all play just fine. This is a problem with the Videos app, and not the Transformer or the TV.
Our O3D can capture image and video in 3D. But when connect to TV via HDMI with 3D enable, the image will split.
So, I'm looking for a anaglyph player for android that could display image/video in anaglyph mode where we will require a "Red+Blue" anaglyph glasses. I have that glassess, then I want to watch 3D on normal LCD TV.
I can watch 3D image/video made by O3D on PC using streocospic player in anaglyph mode+3D glassess. But no such player for android I can find. I hope it do.
You need to set your TV up for sbs (side by side) playback. Some older 3D TV's can't do it tho' :-(

As exceleth said. I mean for non-3DTV.
Btw, found this for images in anaglyph: https://market.android.com/details?id=fr.stereoscopie.stereoscope
Now,, looking for anaglyph video player.
Any news about anaglyph video players/converters for Android after 2 years?
I can't find anything.
Which player do Rikomagic miniPC use?

Anything for android?
Any news?
It's very hard to find such an app just by keywords on Play Store!
It must:
* accept SBS (sideBySide) videos
* play anaglyph videos
This would allow using any MiniPC/StickPC to "turn" any standard TV into a 3d TV!
Note that "SBS Player" on Play Store is NOT what we need: it just plays an SBS video (showing both frames!), it does not merge them into a syngle anaglyph frame.
In a second instance we'll need a PC program capable of ripping out an SBS stream from a 3d blueray disk (not easy, searched a long for it with no success).
Yeah, I was hoping I might have such an app for my android TV too.
I have tested PotPlayer on Windows 10, it plays Anaglyph 3D from SBS and OU. But, because my PC is separated from my TV by a mason wall so I need to purchase Microsoft Wireless Adapter V2 for the TV, and Intel Wireless Adapter AC 8265 that supports wireless display for my PC. PotPlayer can output Red-Cyan, Green-Magenta and Amber-blue (Dubois). And the Dubois is the best because others suffer color loss. To me, I can't tell the difference from a passive 3D TV which I saw from a show room. The tactic is to turn up the TV's brightness by 30% till it looked washed to the naked eyes. When I flipped down my analglyph shader on my glasses the color is rich and the depth is great even if viewed at an slanted angle. The sound is great too because it is from my Realtec 7.1 channel to the Miscrosoft Wireless Adapter on the TV's HDMI port, and I have connected my TV to my HiFi reciever too. It's only a $130 enhancement work, namely 2 adapters and light anaglyph shaders with clips for glassess. :good:
Need to mention that I have 2 video cards, namely, the Intel HD 4000 integrated with my Z77 Extreme4 motherboard which is doing the Wireless Display while my PC Monitor is attached to the HDMI port of my other video card Nvidia Geforce GTX 1050i on PCI slot which does not support Wireless Display. If I connect my PC monitor to Intel HD 4000 I can only extend my desktop to the TV. And, if I connect my PC monitor to Nvidia I can sync my PC screen to my TV instead of extending the desktop only. To play an anaglyph 3D movie on TV screen one need screen synchronisation but not as an extension of the PC desktop. When the TV is playing the Potplayer 3D movie both the TV and PC can see the movie but only the TV has the sound, the PC does not play the sound. When I switch the TV into another HDMI port where the Wireless Display Adapter is not attached, the TV stops playing the sound but the PC plays the sound again.

Ah I see, the topic is to play Anaglph videos on a normal LCD which Easyrb3d player does well from an Android TV Box.
But I was talking about being able to play SBS and OU video formats on a normal LCD TV Screen. Sorry, my fault.
I use an old MX Pro Android TV box KitKat 4.4. Then I download dime 3D player and merge my movies. Works fine on my 65 inch TV.
hi all, i have bought the above smart tv dongle thingy from maplins
http://www.maplin.co.uk/point-of-view-hdmi-smart-tv-dongle-android-4.1-685649
anyone have one of these? im pretty impressed with it, im not too happy with the menu though and id like to customize it a bit.. any ideas on what can be done with this device?
Thanks
First thing to do with this device
I just got one.
First thing I did was install ADW Launcher Ex on it and get rid of the horrible launcher it came with.
Now I have a very fast 42" tablet, with widgets, live wallpapers the lot, no root required.
This thing has loads of potential, but if you read the customer reviews on Maplin you'll see they haven't understood that this is Android and you can customise the heck out of it.
The only thing I've found missing so far is a lock screen in case you don't want others using it while your not there without unplugging it. I also heard it loses datetime if you unplug it, not surprising as it doesn't have an internal clock battery.
It's surprisingly fast, but if you're mouse pointer will lag under heavy load.
Still exploring potential will post back as I find out more.
Ah thanks! I have since rooted and installed different firmware! I found out that it was a re-branded Rikomagic MK802III and installed the latest firmware for that device which is way better. I have XBMC running alongside MX Player Hardware video decoding, all is sweet. I found out all I needed from this guys post. Enjoy

Point of View HDMI Smart TV dongle - interface & WD My Passport
Hi,
I have just bought the hdmi dongle and m not very technology savvy. One of the main reasons I got it was to be able to connect my WD My Passport to it to play movies etc. However I can't seem to change the settings on the menu - so when I click on Movies - rather than all my separated folders showing up - instead it shows an icon of my 1500 movies (which includes about 750 clips of my kids). I can't seem to find a way to get it to display the folders, or even a list of the movies rather than the huge icons! Is there a way around this?
Thanks in advance,
Colette
