[Asus Transformer TF700] Ozark_8125:
I have some mkv files on my desktop of the kids blu rays, but I'm looking for something to put it onto the tablet for a plane ride we have to take without having to lug the portable dvd player around. I was thinking about putting some of the files onto my old 7" SGT for my daughter and wondered what might be a decent way to do so. I read about handbrake a little, but wasn't successful in the past when I was trying it out (decryption problems). That was a while back, but wondered if anyone is using anything more current that might help me out.

In addition... is MKV workable on the tf700? It's going to gobble up a ton of SD space but might be fun...
[Asus Transformer TF700] timrock:
first, try this:

drag the videos to your device, and then download DicePlayer or MX Player (diceplayer if my fav when it comes to mkv). Try playing the videos with either app.

if you experience issues, you can convert using handbrake (i havent used this app in a while), or you can go with DVDCatalayst, my preferred method. It has tons of preset for all devices and is easy to use. I convert 4gb blu ray movies all the time. Shrinks them down to about 1 to 2gb, depending on which preset you use. You have the option to go smaller or bigger.
[Asus Transformer TF700] criodor:
Another good player is BSPlayer (incase you want to try). Like timrock says, most files play just fine. I'm also using Wondershare player to play DVD's (like VIDEO_TS files), but Dice/BS can both play vob files too.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Ozark_8125:
Are you ripping out to VIDEO_TS folders or can you make a single MKV file to make it easier to transport? I only used MKV's for blu rays but I assume it would compact the DVD's down a little from their full size a little?
[Asus Transformer TF700] gottahavit:
I just put a 20gb bluray rip on my 64gb microsd, movie plays great with bsplayer. Keep in mind only h.264 videos will work. Blurays with vc1 video will fail.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Diogenes5:
One of the main advantages of a droid tablet is you don't have to convert the vast majority of titles out there. I spent so much time ripping stuff to my ipods and psp before. With tegra 3 and mxplayer, I can play basically everything.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Cinco5:
Personally, when I have MKVs, I use XMedia Recode to recode them to MP4 -- it lets me copy the video without re-encoding, which takes only about 5 minutes to re-encode a 2 hr 1080p video. I do this for both my phone, tablet, and PS3 media server.
[Asus Transformer TF700] gottahavit:
This method will not work with mkvs that come from vc1 based blurays. Mp4 can't contain vc1 video and so far nothing can play vc1 on infinity with HW accel.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Ozark_8125:
I must be doing something wrong - it takes at least a 1/2 hour to recode a mkv rip of a full length movie.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Einride:
You sure it's actually re-encoding it and not just transcoding it? E.g. is the size about the same as before?

MKV and MP4 are just container formats, you're just wrapping the actual video and audio streams into different container formats, really. Transcoding is pretty much just copying the streams which is fast (usually limited by disk speed), while re-encoding is a heavy CPU/GPU task. Even with Quick Sync it'd take quite a bit longer for a 90+ min movie.
[Asus Transformer TF700] gottahavit:
Correct all that tool is doing is repackaging the video and probably transcoding the audio into stereo, into MP4. If you use BS player there is no real reason to do this.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Ozark_8125:
Fifth Element mkv is 27gb so I have to transcode it... guess I am doing it right after all...
[Asus Transformer TF700] Ozark_8125:
I tried this method and was pretty smooth, but I find the brightness of the converted movie 'hunts' up and down a bit during playback. Not quite sure how the various options work, but is there something to check?

Handbrake Preset for the TF700

I have been doing this with Handbrake for a while now - But not for the Infinity! I want to take advantage of this new fangled Full HD Screen.

QUESTION:

Does anyone have a 1080p Preset that they have created and verified as working for the Infinity? I did a few google searches but they either use a different piece of SW or are focused on 720P!
[Asus Transformer TF700] timrock:
i downloaded a 1080p copy of Hunger Games, i think it was about 12gbs. It played fine with BS Player. No conversion required.
[Asus Transformer TF700] skola28:
Just FYI, torrenting movies is illegal, _even if you own the movie_. Why? B/c you are still giving away the movie to others (peers) while you are downloading it. Just sayin'
[Asus Transformer TF700] timrock:
I think that everyone who downloads torrents, knows this already.

FYI, i never said i downloaded the movie via torrent.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Keion:
Limit upload speed to 0 KB/s.

le rustle face
[Asus Transformer TF700] timrock:
and this is why i say this topic should be a sticky, specifcally for this.

BS Player will play your MKV movies without you having to re-encode them.

another example that RAM size on SGS3 model 1GB model are experiencing issue never seen in SGS2.

Similar issue are observe on SGS3 unit in Samsung showroom.

clear space between / after copy the above to your browser.

sgs3 already running latest firmware as per youtube posting. similar issue observe on more than 1 sgs3 even though it is had been reset to factory default.. it is clearly a lag of ram capacity which cannot be resolve with taskmanager of any kind, therefore, do not post any suggestion to use any task manager from google play store as it will never help.

this post are not intended to seek help or suggestion but merely to share a prominent issue who impact power user. there are many other scenario in other thread that are also a valid example that RAM size clearly matters. Quote from other thread has confirm that 2GB RAM Korea unit doesn't exhibit any of the RAM issue related to 1GB model.

Don't recommend any custom rom unless you are able to simulate the issue consistently and solve by using a custom rom and post a valid video that demonstrate the issue are resolve by custom rom.

Playing video games coded in (one of) the worst programming languages for mobile phones and being astonished that it needs a lot of ROM?

News at 11.

Whoever says that RAM size does not matter is a retard. Bill Gates himself made the mistake of claiming that none would need more than 64KB of memory. However there is a difference between it being advantageous and it being a requirement.

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] nurunet:
Hiya!

I flashed my unlocked Neo V with a fresh stock ROM, fastboot-flashed a modified kernel with native root and CWM and finally installed Spacious, Smooth and Light ICS custom ROM via CWM.

I read that whatsapp is supposed to save conversation data on the SD card, so I thought it should still be there after re-install. Alas, whatsapp did not ask me whether it should import conversations and did not do so automatically either. I then checked the whatsapp-folder on the SD card and it contained pictures I received via WA, which tells me that the data seems to have been there at some point. I fear that the conversation database may have been overwritten during re-install of the app.

Now I do have a nandroid backup. However, I guess it does not contain the data from SD card. Does WA save its conversation database at some other place as well? Would it make sense to re-install the nandroid backup to extract the WA database and copy it to the new system?

Any hints are welcome.

Cheers,

Ben

I tried it and can tell you now: Yes, your WA conversations should be restored with your nandroid backup. You can then create a database backup manually and use it on your new system to import the conversations.

3.- In one of the steps, I need to flash a firmware that's made for R800i.

Question is: can I flash that R800i firmware in a R800a model? As far as I know, both are GSM, so it should work nicely. But I still have my doubts about it.

I searched that ROM topic, but there are no responses related to this, enough to make me flash my device.

[Android Themes] moson:
Hello,

While playing around with some selfmade .mtz's including clock,icons etc,

every time I apply the theme.mtz on my htc hd2 with miui 2.6.XX, the wallpaper is resetted to a grass background. I change it back to another background with the thememanager, but as soon as I apply the the .mtz, it changes back to the grass thing.

In the .mtz, I'm working with, there is "icons", "framework-res" and "clock_2x2". I already extracted framework-res to check the pngs in there but no grassy wallpaper.

I also added a "wallpaper"-file including "default_wallpaper.png" and "default_lock_wallpaper.png" but still nothing changed :(

So my question:

Where is the (grassy) wallpaper located? Which file I have to edit? Or was it me, doing something terribly wrong? :confused:

Thanks in advance!

[7 Mozart General] piggyman1978:
Ok, Im confused!!!

I have a HTC Mozart, with simlock to Orange UK

From the debranding/flashing guide found : http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1002391 - I thought i followed it to the letter....

Download a ROM which is by the same network as you're on (for example if you're phone is currently locked to Orange UK then download RUU_Mozart_Orange_UK_1.22.061.10_Radio_5.50.09.18_ 22.24.50.09U, by ansar. - do not download 1.30!). Done

Open up ActiveSync/Mobile Device Center

Flash this ROM to your phone (you may not need to do this step, but most users will).

Turn your phone off.

Put your phone into Bootloader Mode - this can be done by pressing and holding the Volume Down Key & Power Button.

Plug your phone into your PC, hopefully a HTC USB driver will install.

Once the driver is installed your phone should display USB mode.

Extract the zip file and then run the exe file

Run through the update process

When your ROM is flashed, your phone will want you to customise it - just do the basic stuff.

Done all this - brilliant - I now have:

OS 7.0.7004.0

FW Rev No 2250.09.12210.061

HW Rev No 0004

Radio SW Vers 5.50.09.18_22.24.50.09u

Radio HW Vers A.102.0.D4

Bootloader 1.22.2250.10 (110809) 40

Download the ROM you would like to flash (e.g. RUU_Mozart_HTC_Europe_1.30.401.01_5.54.09.21_22.33 b.50_RELEASE).

Extract the unbranded ROM zip file and then extract the exe file (WinZip will not do this - try 7zip or similar).

Copy the RUU_signed.nbh from the unbranded ROM

Extract the branded ROM exe

Paste the RUU_signed.nbh from the unbranded ROM to branded ROM

Plug your phone back into the PC in bootloader mode

Run RomUpdateUtility.exe file from the branded ROM (but with the unbranded RUU_signed.nbh file)

Follow the steps...

Et voila, you'll have (if all goes well) and unbranded ROM installed

Last step, plug your phone back into your PC and run Zune. Your phone should receive the latest cumulative update.

No matter what I do, this bit will not work!! I follow it to the letter! it either gets stuck at 0% then fails OR vendor ID wrong!! Plllllleeeease tell me what Im doing wrong...! and what I need to do to get this thing running A ok again!!! At this minute, Ive connected this to Zune and the Feb 11 update will not install - keeps telling me to unplug and reconnect..... I think after 3 hours of trying - I think its as good as its gonna get! lol

I was trying to get the internet tethering thing done as Id seen the euro update seems for some users at least to be working..... (dont shoot!) lol

Is there a decent browser that will allow me to import the Bookmarks from my Desktop's Firefox Browser? I used the word "decent", because Firefox Android Beta will do this; but that browser is, imnsho, not even close to "decent". It has to be one of the most counter intuitive browsers I've ever used; and requires multiple clicks to get to a bookmark.

One of the browsers for iPad would do this very nicely, but it is not available for Android.

[Motorola Droid Bionic] sevron:
The phone works okish, aside from data drops, but figured that's normal since it happens on every ROM, but that's not what I'm asking about.

A few months ago I dropped the phone and no apparent damage was done, but recently I've started hearing what sounds like loose screws around the camera, again it doesn't look like it's messed the camera up or anything. But I have the insurance on it and was wondering if that would be enough to see about getting a replacement. I'm kinda tired of hearing little screws moving around now.

I know I probably should of done it way back when it first started, but it did stop doing it until recently, so I never called them thinking it'd be fine.
