What can I use to convert movies for gear vr? - Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Themes, Apps, and Mods

I downloaded the Martian in 1080p and it has dts audio, so it won't work on the gear vr. How can I convert only the audio codec, so I won't have to stay countless hours to do it? My laptop is only a core 2 duo.

How can you even watch movies on the VR ?

In the videos app. You can watch it like you're in a cinema.

I use Movavi video converter It goes very well and converts 5 minutes.

1080p actually looks very decent, im not sure if the gear supports 2k as well, but i dont have enough storage for those movies anyway. Its much better then the netflix quality.

I recommend using FFmpeg https://www.reddit.com/r/GearVR/comments/2pb5um/an_easy_and_fast_way_to_convert_videos_when_the/

Thanks but I have no idea how to use that software. It seems to be very hard to use on windows 10.

Try Codec pack then convert
I have ever seen that some people downloaded DTS audio codec for their video player. I don't know if you can download the codec pack for VR video player. You can try it on first since it will be faster than the conversion. If it doesn't work, you can try Pavtube Video Converter Ultimate. Just open the app then input your video, if you don't want to change other things, just go to "Settings" window to reset audio codec to AAC or AC3.

what video format does the s4 use for recorded videos? usually it's mp4 i think so the tf300 (and the tf101 too) should be able to play.
but that's just native support (hardware decoding)
just download a video player from player (mx player is my favorite), and it will play all video formats for you (software decoding)

Hi.
Yes it is indeed mp4.
But my Tf101 does not pay it properly.
The film stutters and sound stops.
Even with mx player and dice player.
I was hoping that the TF300t would play mp4.
Gives me a reason to buy it and the wife won't bother
Can anyone else confirm that TF300t can play mp4?

Try enabling the S/W decoder in your settings in MX Player. That always made my videos play better.

Boo. Well, I've played mp4 files from my Dropbox & I haven't had a problem. Hm, I'm not sure what it can be. I can't think of anything unless maybe you have apps open in the background, but I'm sure you've checked that. When you play the video files on your CPU, do they play well? I know I had a problem with my old phone where it would record mp4 files, but the video & sound were out of sync & the video skipped frames. It turned out to be a CM9 thing. So maybe it's the video file itself?

Hi.
I don't have any apps running.
I am running a team EOS Rom that's working fine.
The Rom before this also did not play mp4 also.
By the way...that was liquidsmooth.
Pc does play everything perfect!
Could it be the Rom?

I'm not sure what it can be. I just tried playing an mp4 file 2 minutes ago and it played fine on my TF300T. I'm running Paranoid Android. I had CROMi before PA, and it played fine on that ROM as well. I'm out of ideas. :banghead:

I think I found the issue.
By coincidence i opened a mp4 file that had a lower resolution then my vacation movies.
That plays very well.
But all my vacation movies are 1920x1080.
The TF101 and the TF300T both have a 1280x800 screen.
So I think they both won't play my movies

That's a very good possibility. It might be using pushing the device more because of it. I've never tried playing a file that big. If the smaller resolution files play well, then what you mentioned is a good possibility. Try converting the files & load them to you tablet again.

But it will take some time to convert all files.
Or buy a tablet that supports the files

i downloaded a few 1080p music videos from youtube and my TF300 plays them smoothly using the gallery app (meaning hardware decoding),
so i think it may just be because the TF101 for some reason can't handle 1080p but the TF300 can (maybe because of that tegra 2 chip instead of tegra 3 in TF300) [i think it's like the ipad 1 couldn't play 1080p either, but ipad 2 can]
i never like converting video files because it takes a lot of time and you don't get the "original" quality
so yeah i guess you should just buy a tablet that can play these files instead of converting,
but i don't recommend the tf300

Thanks for bothering to see if it works.
I wanted to ask if someone would download a mp4 1080p film to see if it worked. But thought that would be to much to ask
Ik don't like to convert either.
So your post helps me to decide what is will do.
I think I am going to look for a TF300T.
Thanks a lot.

i never used custom rom so i can't really tell but people reported with a custom rom it's fast,
but still you shouldn't buy it because right now it's already outdated imo,
i don't know which one to recommend but i think the NEW asus transformer pad infinity (not the old tf700 last year) is very good, and rumors say it's going to be $400, that's a good value, but you have to wait (like months), and i guess by the time it's on sale samsung and other companies probably will have a lot of tablets too.
so in short, if you really need a tablet right now, i don't know which one to recommend because most are kinda outdated.
for the best value you could get the nexus 10 though
personally i don't think i'll buy an android tablet again in the next few years because i like the ipad better (and i like android phones better than iphones)
Accidentally tapatalked from my TF300
Here it was about 1/2 the price of a Nexus 10 - nothing was in its ball park for price a couple months ago when I bought the TF300, it was more a choice between the Nexus 7 and this tablet.
Played a 1920x800 mp4 fine, even seeking was fast. Probably still not as strenuous as the file the OP was asking about though.

Video Playback Error

Hey Guys,
I have a problem by some 720/1080p Videos. Some Videos don't play in stock Video Player. With MXPlayer they have very often artificials. And stop from time to time. It is the same when i take 1080p with the S2+ and copy it to my PC. Also same Problems.
Any Ideas?

Whaat ? That is a problem ? I made a video at Burj Khalifa (Worlds tallest building in Dubai) at 1080p and when I copied it into my system it did not work. I thought i must have corrupted it while transferring !!!

No i think it is not a transfer Problem. Maybe it is a firmware Problem. I think there was also a problem with the video playback with the S2. What are with you other guys do you have same problems?
Gesendet von meinem GT-I9105P
I was stupid enough to delete the video. Kill my life !
Besides I changed the settings and made it into 720P. Though maybe the large size creates problem. I will start investigating into it now !
I also try with 720p Video and have the same result. Dont know what is wrong. In MX Player i have hw decoder enabled - artifications! With sd decoder enabled it is the same.
But it is weird that it is not by all Videos only by selfmade an some downloaded Videos.
When i look HDReady Video as stream there is no Problem
Gesendet von meinem GT-I9105P
I use VLC Beta and 720p is smooth for me, though there are some pixelations sometimes.
Is the video larger than 4gb? If so, then it is because the FAT32 default file system of the sd card only supports single files up to a max of 4gb each

No it is not over 4 GB. Between 400-600 Mb.

If i want to record a video and its over 4GB then what ? :/ ..
And I removed MX Player. I didnt like it. The default player is enough to do the job. Or else there is VLC, Real Player and other well known players.
And I can PLAY all the videos but the video I made my self didnt work :S
I think it is not a player problem. Because when i copy some videos to pc it also dont work without the terrible pixel phanomen.
Gesendet von meinem GT-I9105P
I think i found a solution for me. I tried some thinks out. When i save the HD Videos on internal SD there are no problems. Only when i play them from externel SD. ???? I have a class 10 MicroSD - in my mind that is fast. Maybe not fast enough.

[APP] Patched YouTube for VP9, 60fps playback (64-bit)

We all know that YouTube app supports 60fps videos.
More recently starting last year with the Galaxy S6, it also supports VP9 video codec, which reduces video size and improves quality.
Unfortunately, to enable it, Google needs to approve device one-by-one.
Now with Snapdragon 820 in the wild, VP9 is more widely available than ever.
However, Google's approval system still apparently sucks.
Victim is the HTC 10 and OnePlus 3,
both seems to have VP9 capabilities disabled.
(In the case of OnePlus 3, it just totally can't play 60fps video on the YouTube app)
We can workaround this by tricking the app that we are using Galaxy S6.
That enables VP9 playback and 60fps glory.
However, that required Xposed until now.
Since I prefer manual app modification, here it is.
Unfortunately, this requires root :/
/* Downloads */
http://arter97.com/browse/youtube/vp9
/* Steps */
Read https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/apps-games/app-patched-ad-free-youtube-apks-t3449312
and use the installer.
Now you have VP9 and 60fps enabled.
Please note that your device needs to be 64-bit and supports VP9.

Great job my friend. I have been looking everywhere to enable 60fps playback, without changing device settings widely, like editing build.prop on my OnePlus 3.
This works wonders.
Have a nice day!
awesome guy

Is there a way to have both the patched and the normal youtube apps installed? I know it's not necessary but it could be useful.
And by the way, do you know if the Xiaomi Mi5 has VP9 support? Or does it depend on the SoC?

I'm able to run youtube vidos 1080p 60fps stock version of the Play Store app.
worked PERFECTLY!!!!

Works great on OP3. Also have Xposed modules YouTube Ad Blocker and Background play. Works fine
Is there a update for latest youtube? The Playstore show me a Update but i think this is the normal YT App.

I can only disable the stock YouTube app, and after I did that I just pasted the patched youtube app and rebooted but YouTube just keeps crashing out of it.
EDIT:
Fixed it by just removing everything in the YouTube folder in system root
Worked on my OP3 OOS 3.2.2 rooted obviously.
Thanks a million! I couldn't stand 480p on videos provided in 60fps only.
Now I can enjoy 1080p in 60fps. Epic win!
Uhhhm, i kinda ****ed up a bit and deleted the youtube folder in the system/app direction.
Could someone please help me with getting the vp9-capable apk to work now?
Thanks in regards and to arter97

full-screen cover art in lockscreen for media playing

hey guys, I just upgraded my S4 mini to the S7 and Im finding little things here and there that I'd grown accustomed to, have changed.
though I do highly appreciate app notifications on my lock screen, I would also like to be able to see the full screen cover of the music I'm playing behind the notifications. you know, the type which can have controls at the top or bottom but you get to see the album art take up the majority of the screen when locked...any ideas?

Video - 1080p or 4k?

I don't have a 4k TV right now, but I wonder if it's worth taking 4k videos?
Gesendet von meinem Pixel 5 mit Tapatalk
You can switch between 1080p and 4k in the video settings
I know, I wonder what everyone is doing?
4k or 1080p? And why?
Gesendet von meinem Pixel 5 mit Tapatalk
I tend to leave it at 1080p since I rarely watch anything back on anything larger than a laptop
I don't take many videos. When I do it's usually to share with someone, so I always shoot in 1080p just because the file size is smaller.
