[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] lovekeiiy:
unless you plan to use HDMI out, I would just use the default settings in Handbrake. On a 5.5" screen, you're not going to notice big differences between a low bit 720 MKV versus a high. Heck, I would probably shoot for file sized that top out a 4GB, and really tried to hit 2GB average. I wouldn't even worry about DTS, just transcode to stereo.

You're going to use the HDMI, then 4GB is the average I would look for to hit. It'll have some issues, but usually just stuff like clouds. Think of FAT32 file size limit and using PS3 with an external HDD.

Personally, I keep very few movies. They're just for those times of no internet access. Otherwise, I just use Netflix, Crackle, Hulu, Plex and so on. I have a lot more content that way.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] luci5r:
Hey - thanks for the response. I dont plan on using HDMI and indeed I was looking for no more then 2gb - 3gb file size. I agree - 720p MKV with average bit rate and stereo audio is probably the best way to go.

So you recommend handbrake? Only issue is I have blu-ray discs. Will handbrake be able to read disc and convert straight from it?

This is also for travel; not home. But couple favorite flicks I watch frequently I own discs for.

Thanks - Appreciate it.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Nicgraner:
In my experience handbrake will rip just about anything but you need a program that removes the disc rip protection thing. The name escapes me, but we couldn't discuss it in thread anyways.:rolleyes:
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] luci5r:
I'll give Handbrake a shot and test it out shortly; and yes - I know the program you're talking about and I do have it installed on my system so protection shouldn't be an issue.

Thanks again - I'll definitely chime in here.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] luci5r:
Hey - Quick question for you -- So I got Handbrake and it looks like it's reading my Blu-ray disc just fine; selected the main title to encode and everything. I was wondering ... is there a profile for the Galaxy Note 2 available for Handbrake? One that someone's already created?

Thanks!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] luci5r:
No trouble - Sorry about that. Thanks!!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] lovekeiiy:
I have no idea if Handbrake can read Blu Ray discs, per se. What I would suggest because it can take a while to transcode and don't like running my optical that long, rip your disc using MakeMKV. This doesn't transcode the movie; it just changes the container to MKV.

Once you have the MKV from MakeMKV, then you can transcode it it Handbrake to a small MKV file. It's an extra step, but it'll save your optical drive in the long run.

As for the DRM, MakeMKV has a build one. It works most of the time. If not, just have to wait for it to get updated. Otherwise, there is AnyDVD HD. It's not free like MakeMKV or handbrake; MakeMKV you do need to grab the update beta reg code after about every thirty days.

As for profiles, I just leave it at the default one. I just change the video and audio within their respect tabs. It's fairly intuitive and Hbandbrake has a help file with enough information to let you know the what changes in values do for most things.

Beyond that, it's going to be trail and error to see what you like. Transcoding is very CPU intensive. I'm not saying your CPU is going to run at 100% or anything. But, the more powerful and faster it is, the faster your transcode will be. Personally, I like to do 2 pass when I use file size target. It'll helps with the qaulity; the program analyzies and compares the passes. I also don't use the tubro pass. Thus, my transcodes take hours to complete.

Overall, given what you want to do, I would use MakeMKV than Handbrake. I would use the default settings, but change the video resolution (with the keep aspect ratio checked), and audio to stereo (probably AAC). No idea on your PC, but I figured it'a at least dual core. I would guess it'll take around three to fours to complete, and probably give your file around 2 GB, maybe smaller. Some movies you may have to tweak beyond that, but you'll figure it out the more you experiment. If want to test a movie before the whole thing, just do one chapter.

---------- Post added at 05:13 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:12 PM ----------

I don't do this for phone, but for movies I use on my home theater PC. The process is the same. The files are larger and time is longer is the only difference.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] luci5r:
Hi -- Thanks again for your detailed reply; actually I'm already into the encoding process now as everything seems to be working out well (for the most part). Handbrake was effectively able to read my Blu-ray disc and re-encode to MKV. I do have AnyDVD HD running which decrypts the disc allowing Handbrake to read it.

I'm having a completely different issue at this point encoding using Handbrake. The problem I'm having is that my original movie, "Prometheus", which on the Blu-ray disc is in the 1920 X 1080 resolution, has the Letterbox bars in order to preserve the aspect ratio. However, when I encode using Handbrake, it's Stretching the image height --- it's not keeping the Letterbox. I do have "Keep Aspect Ratio" checked and I have tried all 4 Anamorphic settings -- None, Strict, Loose, Custome --- But I don't get the letterbox bars on top & bottom; I get a stretched height image. How can I keep the Letterbox to keep the original image size and no stretching?

Thanks!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] lovekeiiy:
are you sure it's stretching it? It's possible that screen resolution may be that the black bars are not needed. I'll have to check it out later. I have it as part of my digital media collection. I'll check it on Plex and see what it does. I think my rip is 1080p though.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] luci5r:
Solved it!! Had to change "Cropping" from Automatic to Custom with 0 0 0 0 values.

Everything is absolutely perfect now; excellent PQ at 2GB filesize. Just what I needed.

Thanks for all your help - appreciate it.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] lovekeiiy:
no problem. Glad you were able to find a solution.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] brokenchains:
HTC's announcement for their newest phone is today (in a couple minutes, really). A video was posted as a preview, which you can watch here, but it isn't in English. It's a pretty good looking phone with some decent specs but overall I think HTC just makes some weird decisions. Calling this device the HTC One after they've already released HTC One X/S/V etc. Seems backwards to me.

Anybody possibly going to be moving to this phone after the Inc 2, or for those of you on newer phones like the DNA/Inc 4g will you be jumping ship this early? My upgrade is in July so I'll probably give it a shot but ultimately I think I will end up with the Galaxy S IV (a sure-fire for development down the road, and for straight spec-power) or potentially the rumored Motorola X.

Specs Quick Reference:

4.7" Full HD screen

Snapdragon 600 processor (Quad-Core)

2 GB of RAM, 32 GB of internal storage

2,300 mAh battery

4.1.2 Jelly Bean
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Captain_Doug:

I expect rolling back to ICS would sort it, however, that is a backward step I think. I'm surprised that more people aren't complaining of it.

[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] froma72:
In fact it does, I rolled back to ICS and tethering worked again. Then I tried updating OTA, but the issue was still there.

Yesterday I went root, and installed the JB rooted and deoxeded and tried again: unlike the stock JB, the pc showed 'access to internet' but in fact it never worked, and it was confirmed connecting my i9001 with cm10 (connection established but the wifi symbol stays grey).

I maybe will return to ICS, but will not be happy about that because I love the look of sony's JB: if I didn't care for that, I would stay with my i9001 or maybe buy an SGS3 instead of the XT.

Hi everybody

I just bought this new device and I wanna to know some information about it.

Do I need to unlock bootloader ?

What can I take advantage of that ?

Can i relock it again in order not to loss warranty ?

What is CM and AOKP in detail ?

Do u advise me to unlock bootloader or not ? :D

In ur opinion what is the best ROM for it ?

Sorry to prolong

Sorry for my english
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] kyzn:
1. Depends. Do you want to install custom kernels and ROMS? If you do, then unlock it.

2. All customizations are open(?).

3. Once you unlock your bootloader, you already voided your warranty. There's no way around it, even if you re-lock it.

4. Read:

AOKP

http://wiki.rootzwiki.com/AOKP

CM

http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/About

5. As I said, it all depends on you.

6. CM is pretty popular...
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] MadManMark:
1. If you want to flash some Roms and Kernels you need to unlock your bootloader

2. Flashing roms and kernels

3. You can relock it again but your warranty will still be voided i think, but i heard that you will still get a repair from sony, given that your fault is in no way related to you unlocking your bootloader, so say for example if umm your power button stops working, thats a physical fault so they should still fix it.

4. CM is cyanogen mod, the most popular custom rom, Aokp is another popular one. They are just like custom firmwares made by developers in short, i cant be asked to go into too much detail on this, i think the guy above me did already

5. I advise you not to, 1. because you kind of sound like a noob (no offence) 2. In all honesty the dev community for this phone isn't exactly thriving and I dont actually think the ROMs are that worth flashing as of now, also Jelly Bean should be on its way very soon, so just wait for that i say. 3. If you bought your phone from a carrier theres a good chance that it isnt possible to unlock the bootloader, check this

6. Of all the ROMs from the threads i get the idea the best Rom is FXP's CM9

You can have an equally good time on this phone just by rooting it, and installing mods and tweaks
