I was just recently the victim of an incident in which another vehicle "squatted" on me. :mad: I have the Samsung car dock, and had often thought about getting something to have the camera watch the road, but the Samsung Dock blocks the camera. Is it possible to modify the samsung car dock so that the camera is not blocked? If so, how would I go about doing so? If not, is there another car dock that I should use?

(I did just download the DailyRoads Voyager app. I really just need to find out the best dock to use, or how to modify my current one. If there is a better app, I'm interested to hear what it would be.)

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sk63:
Don't get too excited, while our phones may have a Exynos CPU we also are the only ones with a CDMA and Wimax radio. That the biggest reason we don't have CM7 yet while all the other SGSII's do, at least in beta form. It may take some time to get the driver situation sorted so I wouldn't expect the E4GT to get ICS in beta form as soon as the others.

Is it safe to say that we'll see an official ICS release from Samsung/Sprint before we see CM9 w/ 4G?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] cricketsmoke:
Kudos to Bubby on that but just cause he gets it doesnt mean it'll be supported by CM. If they try to merge it and it breaks the existing builds, thats a no go. Slayher worked forever on the tbolt and it never played nice, the build itself is awesome but it couldn't be synced to mainline properly...not even sure its supported yet (although i sold that a couple months ago).

Not trying to be a downer, just realistic.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Zorachus:
Samsung made a comment last month regarding ICS on the Galaxy SII.

Official update from Samsung and carriers will be 2nd Qtr next year = April - June. Unfortunately this sounds about right. I recall the original EVO 4G didn't get official Gingerbread update until June, six months after it was out.

Plus Samsung said they want the Galaxy S3 out a little earlier, Spring next year. I bet we see Samsung's next gen Galaxy series release first before the SII gets official ICS update.

http://www.pavtube.com/mkv-to-asus-eee-pad-mac-converter-enable-transformer-play-mkv-videos.html

MKV stands for the Matroska Multimedia Container, which is an open standard free container format. It can contain multiple video, audio, picture or subtitle tracks in one file. Matroska is similar to other containers like AVI and MP4, but it can hold video files from Blu-ray discs. With the development of Blu-ray movie, most people prefer enjoy movies in Blu-ray discs rather than in DVD discs. The reason is simple, that is Blu-ray discs offer more HD videos in a larger storage space. So, as a wild used video format ripped from Blu-ray discs, MKV has been the symbol of HD videos. And, do you want to watch MKV videos with Asus Eee Pad Transformer?

But, how to enjoy MKV movies on Eee Pad Transformer since the MKV videos are always in a large size and a HD video codec that Asus Eee Pad does not support to decode. Maybe Pavtube Video Converter for Mac can help you. It is a great Mac Eee Pad MKV converter for you to convert MKV videos for Transformer playing.

Here, I would like to take a MKV video file for example to show how to Mac convert MKV to Transformer.

First, import MKV from my Mac to the Pavtube Mac MKV to Eee Pad Transformer converter, and check the properties of the MKV file. Below are the detail parameters.

Video:

Format: h264

Resolution: 1280x544

Frame Rate: 23.976

Bit Rate: 0kbps

Duration: 00:01:02

Then, you can click the format bar to choose compatible output format for Asus Eee Pad Transformer playing. To enable Asus Transformer play MKV videos, you need choose a format with high video quality for Asus Eee Pad Transformer. I recommend you choose HD Video >> H.264 HD Video (*.mp4).

The program offers you changing the profile settings for the output file. Freely click the settings button and adjust the suitable video and audio settings for the HD MP4 format. Generally speaking, the default settings are suitable enough.

After all the settings have been finished, please click the convert button to start to convert MKV to MP4 format for Eee Pad Transformer. After the conversion finished, you can click the open button and get the converted MP4 videos. Then you need transfer MP4 videos to Asus Eee Pad transformer with a USB data cable.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] theraffman:
On a PC I use DVD catalyst. It has a profile for the TF but I prefer using the ipad2 HQ profile as the file size is slightly smaller and the resolution I think is slightly better for the TF.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Danny-B-:
Before converting your MKVs give BSPlayer (free) a try as it plays the MKVs i've tried fine ! and thats streaming from my PC too.

I couldnt find any other player that would handle MKVs as good as BSplayer.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] zektor:
Except for Potplayer ;)
[Eee Pad Transformer General] BuPe:
I use Dice but it stutters with newer HDTV shows (like Terra Nova).
[Eee Pad Transformer General] SWEATTAIMI:
Needed to say this is for mac :)
[Eee Pad Transformer General] SWEATTAIMI:
You need allot of free cpu space to use mkv
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Danny-B-:
I'll give that one a try too
[Eee Pad Transformer General] wrichards2009:
BSPlayer x2. Just make sure you get the codec that it prompts you to install ARMv6 or 7 I'm not sure which. That should be all you need.

If you're insisting on converting them though, use handbrake all the way..
[Eee Pad Transformer General] SWEATTAIMI:
You need armv7 as nvidia tegra 2 is an armv7 tablet ;)
[Eee Pad Transformer General] AyDee:
Actually most MKV are encoded in h264 (AVC) which is supported by the TF.

The things that make MKV incompatible are that audio is usually AC3 and the MKV container itself is not natively compatible.

Gotsent (mac & pc) and Xenon MKV (pc) will convert the audio to AAC (natively compatible) and put everything in an MP4 container. And since only the audio is actually converted the process is really quick. & both are free... ;)
[Eee Pad Transformer General] sert00:
i'm very noob with mkv,videos converting etc but i downloaded from web some mkv's and i tried play them and testing out many players...i use settings reported HERE to convert my videos if i want to put them in the tablet,if i want to play them on native format i put in my external hard drive (i don't find a 100% working player yet....the best i tried it isn't ok all the time,it stutter in some moment...)
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Sharpe351:
MX player plays the several 720p .mkv videos I have without much fuss. I have the current season of TopGear in .mkv format and play them directly from my 500Gb drive on my TF. I have no need to convert to something else.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Floating Point:
1 more vote for mx player, it can also handle ogm containers and its very customizable, have a fast swipe fast forward, all good.

But sadly, tegra 2 is garbage, nvidia sold us a lemon, I have some videos that even in a proper MP4 container encoded in 720p normal profile the decoder strugles, at the handbrake thread there's a long discussion about this and another issues.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] josteink:
I think this really bares some repeating. I like my transformer. But tegra2 was sold as considerably more powerful than it actually is.

I expected seamless 720p playback as a given, and here we are, trying to find ways to convert/playback standard files downloaded from the internet.

At that point, how is this different from iPhone/iPad where you need to convert files to Apple's preferred format in iTunes before "synching"? IMO not much.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] deadman3000:
I've found the best way is to stream from your PC. Granted it's not very useful if you are not always internet connected and if you have a crappy connection or cap. I use Plex for streaming indoors. Smooth as butter and offloads the decoding onto the PC so it will play 1080p high@L4.1 no problemo.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] dburckh:
I just downloaded BSPlayer and I'm pretty happy with it. There was NOTHING that would play my Canon T2i 1080p video smoothly. BSPlayer comes very close. It drops frames and audio, but it is watchable! 1080p/24fps hiccups about once every 15-30 seconds, which I would consider acceptable. All my 720p stuff is silky smooth. My 720p MPEG2/AC3 files stream reasonably well from WMC. 1080i WTV files play, but have bad sync problems. MX Player and Dice failed differently on all of these.

I have to agree that MX Player has a better UI, but BSPlayer seems to have a more robust engine.

I'm running stock at the moment. MX Player did do better at 1.4mhz. I assume BSPlayer would improve as well.

I do have to agree that Tegra 2 is a little weak. I'm confident that Tegra 3 will get me where I need to be.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] SWEATTAIMI:
Its not that tegra 2 is weak . We got to much **** running in background when watching a movie stop everything except movie player and you will be enjoying your video moment :)
[Eee Pad Transformer General] bob dylan:
i really dont see what the big fuss is about.

between them MX player and BSPlayer can play pretty much any video file you throw at them, if they stutter, try clearning your tablets cache and killing some resource heavy apps that are running in the background.

i have TB of video in loads of different formats and i am yet to find a file i cant play well.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] SiNJiN76:
+1...and you can have it HW decode video and SW decode audio...and vice versa.

Now if anyone knows of an app that will play m2ts files...that would be awesome!

[Eee Pad Transformer General] dingbatt:
My problems started when I upgraded from honeycomb to ics. Playback of 720p was smooth under hc using dice player but choppy and unwatchable in ics. Now I am running jellybean (cm10) it is back to smooth operation again. Doesn't matter whether files are mkv or MP4 the results were the same. Blame asus version of ics I think.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] sbliner:
Is joyce's post a paid-ad?

- For those that say their TF101 can play any video that is thrown at it. No it can't. Just because you haven't tried playing a highprofile encoded video doesn't mean that it can.

Here's an example of a video file (first post):

http://www.transformerforums.com/fo...touchpad-android-vs-tf101-video-playback.html

- Yes, the Tegra2 is too weakass (or at least the nvidia drivers are)

- No, hardware mode players will not play all videos fine.

===

If there is a MKV high-profile encoded that I do need to play on the TF...I use this method on my PC.

1) Install FFMPEG (http://ffmpeg.org/)

2) Create a batch file like this:

"c:\ffmpeg\ffmpeg" -i %1 -vcodec libx264 -preset fast -vprofile baseline %1.x264.fast.mp4

3) drag the video on the batch file icon, and it will convert it into something playable.

4) copy file to tf101 (or place on NAS)

If you are rooted with CWM either boot to recovery advanced and wipe battery stats or get Battery Calibration from the market or let the battery stats reset themselves after a few days use .

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
No, not it cannot. And neither can most phones. I guarantee if you're regularly spilling water on a Droid RAZR it'll get messed up too. There are open ports on the phone that will easily take in moisture and mess things up inside over time.

What I'm saying is, if you're buying a phone and you know there's a high chance you can get it wet on a regular basis, you need to buy a rugged phone.

Because I will only use a phone that has the capability to be used to make purchases ;)

No, it won't survive this. Most phones won't like I said before. All it takes is a small splash in the wrong spot (port or battery door) and its done for.
