I use Ojosoft Total Video Converter and i honestly at the moment feel its the absolute best video converter i have ever used so far.

I have successfully converted videos to mp4 that plays at very sharp and high quality with no skipped frames or any lagging.

I select 'convert to' Mp4 then at the lower section where you have a myriad of different outputs to choose between, there I choose 'Custom Mp4' at the lowest section and I input the following:

Res: 1280x720

Video Compression: MPEG-4

Bit Rate: 2500k

Frame Rate: 30

Audio Bit Rate: 160k

And that's it! And I get awesome quality.

Hope it helps anyone.

>I've been testing Handbrake settings for the last couple of hours. This is optimized for playback on the A500. Not for HDMI output.

Wait for 3.1 to appear, then if you like HB, use the AppleTV2 preset, which basically uses regular high profile. In other words, use high profile for 720p, use baseline for 1080p (since per reports from Xoom & Asus TF owners, HC 3.x hard-capped 1080p at baseline).

Alternatively, try my script below. It only convert the video if needed, and when it does, conversion speed is at least twice that of HB. Guaranteed or your money back..hah.

For HC 3.0, you'll need to change the Recode setting from Auto to Yes, for 1280p content.

You should never set bitrate manually.

Updated this morning to 3.1, tomorrow i will try AppleTV2 preset, but i was happy with the result of the Xoom preset in first page.
[Acer Iconia A500] WereCatf:
I personally use HandBrake, converting videos to 720p baseline-profile with autoq at 20. Produces reasonably-sized files with very good image quality, very little artifacting even in high-motion scenes.

Though, I've set Trellis to 'Encode only' and Adaptive B-Frames to 'Optimal' in advanced settings, haven't played with the other settings yet. Could probably squeeze slightly better quality by setting Motion Estimation Method to 'Uneven multi-hex', though.

Why use 720p? Well, simply because the 10" screen doesn't have the resolution to show 1080p anyways so it's pointless to go for that. And why baseline and not high profile? Because I want to play the videos back with H/W decoding to conserve battery, I don't want to waste battery on S/W decoding.

Thankyou Saeba for the info about Catalyst4. I have tried several encoders in the past including AVS video encoder, Magic DVD Ripper and Handbrake and all have their good points but for overall satisfaction especially the removing of the "black bars" I am really pleased with Catalyst. I'm using the version4 so it doesn't have the Acer included in the devices but I note what you say about Beta 5 and will give it a try. The device settings I use are "Tablet" and "Xoom" and since reading your post this evening I have re-encoded 4 of my movies with exellent results.

I have to disagree a little with "Timehunter" 's comments about AVI files. The A500 plays AVI files faultlessly with good quality, and no lip-sync problems. It's not the Tab he should be blaming but the default video players installed as bog standard, these not only cannot play AVI files but in fact only play MP4 files. The first thing anyone who wants to watch videos/movies should do is ditch them and download a decent multi standard player. There are several free on the Market including Moboplayer, Mvideo and RockPlayer etc.etc.

Iv'e always felt that the secret of good videos/movies lies not in the player used but in the encoding method and for being the first to mention Catalyst I thank you once again Saeba. By the way I have found using it this evening that the average for each of 4 DVD's was 35 minutes.

Now Im using a video converting tool named Aneesoft, that I got from giveawayoftheday.com, and seems works fine on my HD videos so far, and have many ourput preset for different devices.

Of course, Handbrake is still one of my tool on converting DVD movies.

This is the template for the Xoom, works perfect, just renamed it.

Download it, then import into Handbrake.

I've tried installing using root explorer, and I've also tried zipping the files, then flashing thru CRW ...both to no avail

Sooo ....how do I make them match?

[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hengsheng120:
some apk's are tied to other parts of the rom or system and you can't run them properly on your rom. you have to know what apks will work by itself or work for your rom specifically. you should list them and where you got them from so people can help you.

Basically I want to try MacOSX and I know about VMWare so I just wanna ask what do I need to be able to 'emulate' MacOSX on my XP SP3 PC? The specs of the PC are horrific (2ghz single core, 1gb of RAM) I don't know any of the other specs or what processor etc. it is lol. So can somebody give me some links on how to get VMWare set up and where to get a copy of MacOSX ('legally' for free :p;))

I tried searching the web but I just got confused. :rolleyes:

I'm thinking of getting a new iMac but I'm not too sure so I want to try MacOSX before I spend mucho moniez. Thanks. :D
[Off-topic] MacaronyMax:
Someone correct me if I'm wrong, You won't be able to use a VM on 1 core? :D

Also... I doubt there is a working kernel for yourCPU, Just a lucky guess though :p
[Off-topic] Skellyyy:
Lol I was thinking that with my ****ty hardware it mightn't be possible. Lets just hope. :p
[Off-topic] x10man:
wmware should be able to run on single core i know virtualbox can so maybe try that

if you have an intel core 2 then most macs have that in so it would be compatible cpu wise although i think vmware emulates a different type of cpu so it may not work the ram may be problematic
[Off-topic] MacaronyMax:
Hahha, Okay, Althoguh I do think a VM needs it's own core to run on :p Also if you do get an iMac, You can always stick Windows on it, Plus... Whatever you get... It will be a huge upgrade haha ;) :D
[Off-topic] Skellyyy:
It's an AMD Athlon 64 processor if that's any good?

It's an ancient PC. :eek:
[Off-topic] Skellyyy:
Haha too right! I like the iMac the way it's all just packed in to the monitor itself so no need for a tower and I'm thinking of running VMWare to game on Windows then. :D
[Off-topic] MacaronyMax:
*facepalm* :p Haha If you just want everything in one but want windows look at the Lenovo Ideacenter PC's? There are pretty decent spec for the price... Pretty nice looking and slim too, And cheaper! :D But ofcourse it's up to you :) But there are also many other AIO's if you're interested :D
[Off-topic] Skellyyy:
*double facepalm* ;) Yeah I was looking at a few other AIO's, but there's just something in my head that I've got my heart set on a iMac now. Will probably have to take out a bankloan off the parents to buy it mind you. :p

Which? The AMD Athlon? I hope I can atleast run MacOSX just to give me an idea of what it's like. :D There aren't many Apple stores in Ireland either for whatever reason so I can't go in to an Apple store and check them out. :eek:

AFAIK the new iMac uses Intel's new Sandybridge CPU btw. :p

Has any one got a solution to why the android market will let you download some apps but not others. This problem only happens with certain apps.

Contacted one of the app developers, and he thinks there may be a problem with my data partition.

I'm on stock rom, latest froyo update, and have not rooted. thanks, in advance, for your help.

[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mr_JMM:
+1 for this but if not can you list some example apps so we can see if it's just you (B. East) or not?
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] B. East:
The apps i seem to have a problem with are, Cordy the game, storage analyzer, and gun brothers game. I some times have problems with updating from the market. I have to un-install some apps then download them again to update. this happens when the app has been moved to the sd card, but not with all the apps that I have moved to the sd card
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mr_JMM:
No problems here. This is going to be something up with your phone.

Not all apps like being on the SD Card. Do all your apps specifically say they have been updated to allow them to be moved to sd card?

You may have to move them to phone if they continue to cause issues (and to be honest, with a 1GB internal memory, putting apps onto a slow sd card really isn't worth doing.

Did you try this?

If all of the above fails to work you will probably have to factory reset the phone.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] B. East:
I tend to download using wifi, going to try downloading over 3g and see if that makes any difference, if not, will do a factory reset. thanks for the help though.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mr_JMM:
Before you do that you still haven't said if you cleared the market cache. Did you?
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] B. East:
yes, i done that, tried to download again and got a message, "could not install on USB storage or sd card". First time I have seen that message.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mr_JMM:
Is this whilst trying to update an app or download a new one?

If to update then move the app to the phone first.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] B. East:
this is trying to download a new app.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mr_JMM:
Had a quick Google and found something to try.

mount the phone so you can access the sdcard.

Set to show hidden files

Go to folder .android_secure

Delete a file in there smdl2tmp1.asec

Then try again.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] B. East:
thanks, I will give it a go. can I use a file explorer to do this, because am not sure how you mount the phone, I am quite new to android, use to use winmo mobiles
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mr_JMM:
you can yes, my favourites are Astro, Linda and ES.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] B. East:
I had a look in android_secure, made sure all hidden files would be visible, and could not find any files at all. checked to make sure that the hidden file visible setting in the file explorer was switched to the correct setting, and could not see any files at all.

Have I lost some files? if i have i have no idea how. do I need to do a factory reset?
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mr_JMM:
Damn. When I found that possible solution I noticed that as many people said they did have it as said they didn't. I was hoping you would be lucky.

In this case the same file (apparently this is a known bug and has been marked for next version fix) is being stored in the system directory of the phone and without root you can't get access to it.

I'm afraid the only way to clear it (without root) is a factory reset, sorry.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] B. East:
thanks for your help, I will factory reset and see what happens.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] B. East:
Carried out a factory reset, still got the same problem. can not download storage analyzer or cordy the game, but other apps will download ok. Since the error message is saying it can not download to sd card or usb cable, is there possibly a setting some where on the phone that needs changing?
[HTC Inspire 4G] XITruthiX:
So I got my inspire yesterday and immediately rooted using hack-ace, stock att radio, and flashed AR 5.1.3 and I couldnt be happier, this phone freaking flies!!

2 problems, Marketplace doesnt allow me to download it seems. Im running AdFree, and when I click "download" the D/L icon pops up in the top right and the disappears immediately with out any prompts, what gives?

2nd, on fresh activation, Pre-Root the phone showed H+, which is supposed to be 4g yes? I ran SpeedTest and it didnt get faster than 1.5 down. Then rooted and flashed AR and it no longer shows H+ but just 'H' and bench marks the same up and down speeds... Is at&t just teasing me?
[HTC Inspire 4G] id10terrordfw:
Go to settings, applications, and manage applications, choose "All". Wipe data and/or cache and retest.

Only Inspire sourced ROMs show H+, all other ROMs show H because that is they way all other Desire HD's are. It is purely cosmetic, nothing to worry about. :D
[HTC Inspire 4G] XITruthiX:
Yeaa I talked to ATT today and they said NO 4G... I was like, this is new york man.

Anyhow, Under Manage Apps I dont see any where to wipe the cache, is there something im missing or do I have to do each individually?
[HTC Inspire 4G] id10terrordfw:
If it isn't there don't worry about it.

[G Tablet Themes and Apps] scotchguy:
Okay, I might just be bringing up old news, but seriously who doesn't want old school games on our tablets?

So here goes.. I am taking a flight overseas and need something to do besides movies, music, and angry birds on my 2hr+4hr+8hr flights to get to my destination.

Does anyone know of an emulator for N64? There was one for a short period of time on the market: N64oid by good ol' yongzh. Are there others? Do I just have to wait patiently, hoping for the day N64oid will return to the market?

Now I am not worried about the legal stuff, as I still own three or four games I plan playing on my trip.

Did anyone even try N64oid on the Gtab/Roms while it was out?

Final thoughts: Games I want to play (what were your fav's?)

-Zelda(s)

-Banjo Kazooie

-Starfox

-Mario Kart =D

-Goldeneye

-Turok (<---dare I even say?)
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] xmr405o:
It worked great on my gtab.

I played Ocarina of Time, Starfox, Mario 64 and kart without any issues. Don't forget to bring a wiimote for your trip!
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] jetguy35:
Will game pads work with n64oid. I just played golden eye and it was a pain trying to play by tapping the touch buttons. Still awesome to play golden eye on my gtab!
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] jetguy35:
Roms4droid . Com

Has all of the good 64 roms. I just played golden eye. They have turok, Zelda. Anything you can think of. I downloaded the n64oid emulator v 2.4.4. Not sure if it's on that site but I google it.
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] nasman1993:
I still have the n64oid emulator, but it really isn't playable until they fix it up.

I looked and worked great, however the ROM would crash periodically (every 5-10 minutes). This was very inconvenient so I will just wait until the new n64oid version is released.
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] SirhanSirhan:
Sure seems to work fine for me. Using Vegan 5.1 and pershoots kernel. I use wiimote and have a dock out to my Sony Bravia. Have not tried a ton of games yet, but all in all, it works. Anyone tried the Pcie emulator?
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] jetguy35:
Mine doesnt crash at all.
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] nasman1993:
I'm not sure what my problem is then. It depends on the game I guess. MarioKart 64 never crashes, but Ocarina of Time crashed to the select ROM screen as soon as I entered the Deku Tree.

But xmr405o said he didn't have issues with Ocarina of Time, so I'm not sure what the issue is.
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] Link3737:
That kind of random instability is the reason why it was removed from the market in the first place. There were a flood of 1-star ratings from people with issues like yourself.
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] nasman1993:
Yeah I figured that's why they removed it. It puzzles me how people are running it with no issues though.
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] xmr405o:
What version of the n64oid are u running? There were issues with ocarina before but the last one he put out fixed most of the issues. No issues with the deku tree is all good. It might be the rom too.
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] jbuggydroid:
the dev told me that he plans on putting it back in the market once fixes are made. funny thing about those 1 star reviews is that he did say in the description that it may not work well on all devices and only some games will work. i have no problem playing Mario 64 on either my nook or my gtab tho the wiimote is prefered than touchscreen. had it on my epic and only got like three games to work. mario 64, zelda orciana, and i believe starfox. the dev is amazing tho and i'm sure he will get things all worked out soon.

if looking for some old school gaming check out his other emulators
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] orangekid:
What was that latest n4oid version?
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] scotchguy:
I have been putzing around with N64oid version 1.3 and Zelda: Ocarina... it works, mostly. If anyone knows of another version or another emulator app, I could sure use it. I don't know if it's my TnT 4.4 and I just need to upgrade, or if it's the N64oid itself.
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] 4Incredible:
Thought I would bump this thread. All of Yongzh's emulators got pulled from the market today and he made the full versions of all of them available for free (EDIT: except N64oid) download on Slide Me. This includes N64oid. I just got it running on my gTab and its beyond awesome.

Here is the link to Yongzh's profile on Slide Me, all of the emulators can be found here:

https://slideme.org/user/yongzh

EDIT: Just checked slide me again and its not free anymore. All the other emulators are but n64oid is $0.30. Oh well.

I see no poll, and no, none D:
[Eee Pad Transformer General] bleclair:
I was typing! :D

Seriously, though, no issues? No wireless drops, no keyboard stopping working, no battery with a ? or anything?

Which firmware are you using?

Did you do a factory restore?

Did you do an update?

Did you do any of the OTA updates?

(Is that enough questions??) :p
[Eee Pad Transformer General] seshmaru:
I use wireless all the time between home and campus, no factory restore, both OTA updates then rooted and flashed with PRIME! v1.1 and blob V5. I've used my friends dock with it for about a day since he doesnt have his tab yet and I have had 2 disconnects in about 30 hours.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] AndroidCola:
Everyone is having these problems, even the review units they sent out a month ago.

ASUS knew all about these issues prior to release (US release, anyway). Anyone who read the prerelease reviews knew of the problems, because all of the trustworthy reviewers mentioned them. I still preordered because I thought the hold up on US sales was because they were fixing these issues. But they didn't fix anything! They are knowingly selling lemons.

I love my Transformer and I love most ASUS products that I own but the dock is total piece of crap they should have delayed the release of.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] madsquabbles:
no issues yet, but i've only really used it for maybe 45 min. i'll put some more work on it later tonight and see if any issues creep up.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] bleclair:
Yeah, don't get too happy too fast.

I was actually typing a post here giving my impressions of the dock and one of my lines was, "I haven't run into any of the issues with locking up that others have been experiencing."

Let's just say I had to go back and delete that line (and finish my post with the touchscreen!) :o
[Eee Pad Transformer General] seshmaru:
Also all the issues are as far as I can tell software issues not hardware issues which means firmware updates can fix em. Asus also told anand the firmware updates are on their way.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] bleclair:
Cool, it would REALLY suck if they couldn't be fixed with a software update.

Also, do you have a link for the anand info?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] seshmaru:
just google anand transformer review and you get it. The review states all the issues but also states asus telling them they are aware of the issues and are going to release a firmware update.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] 0TheRain0:
I'm not noticing any issues with mine. I'm using Prime v1.2 custom ROM. At first when I got the keyboard dock I had what I thought were some weird problems. Turns out I just wasn't pushing the tablet all the way in to the dock before I locked it. I didnt realize it because it seemed to fall into where I was putting it, and the lock would slide about half way over- i thought that was just as far as it goes.

Anyone having troube- I recommend double checking that you are firmly pushing your tablet in to the dock with the lock slider in the unlocked position. Then make sure you are able to slide the lock slider all the way to the right (fully locked position).

If you're already doing that, then I suppose you really do have a problem- hopefully it is software related and not hardware.
