i've always found best results with avi format. TCPMP is available for free for the tytn but does have a playback issue which is very simply worked around.

As for software for converting your videos, I use CarryDVD (not free) for converting my dvd's - I found converting a DVD movie to a 250-300MB avi gives excellent results. For converting non-dvd video files, eg. larger avi files, I use the free version of Lathe - PocketDivX Encoder with Xvid and 2 pass encoding checked.

Hope this helps.

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] mrvanx:
Ive used AutoGK, it encodes from several sources (including VOB files from DVDs) into Xvid or DivX.

I personally encode into .avi using Xvid (it does a 2pass Mpeg-4 Xvid encoding to .avi) and audio is encoded in MP3 at 128kbit VBR. And i set it to encode into 320x240.

Using Coreplayer (or TCPMP) it plays back FLAWLESSLY.

For example ive encoded an episode of the simpsons (22mins) from DVD into a 60Mb avi file and its just perfect playback on the TyTN. The performance TCPMP/Coreplayer seems to depend somewhat on the ROM you are using.

An excellent guide for using AutoGK alongside DVD Decrypter (both freeware) is found HERE on doom9.org. Using my analogy the filesize you set in AutoGK can be found using 5.45*minutes.

Use half that if you are encoding a low detail picture such as a cartoon (as i did with the simpsons). So for example a 30 minute video of a properly filmed source (ie friends, or cheers etc..) would use a filesize of 163.5Mb.

Thanks Guest69, i've downloaded the trial version of CarryDVD, if I like it i'll buy the software.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] overzeetop:
Not free, but I am using CloneDVDmobile from slysoft. $39, iirc, though I got the suite (ripping and decoding as well) a while back when it was on sale. Yes, there are free versions that do much of the same, but quite honestly I got tired of going multiple places to get updates. Seems to work well for encoding.

Just figured out that you have to choose the Raw Framebuffer option and NOT the ATI Imageon (in the TCPMP Video Options) in order to get normal playback on the hermes. I've got a recode of Madagascar that looks great at 300MB for the 80(?) minute movie at 320x(whatever the 16:9AR works out to). There are some tearing-like transition artifiacts, and minor artifacting if I keep my eyes within about 10" of the screen (which is as close as my old-fart eyes can focus).
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] cyst:
I get good results with virtualdubmod. Have a look here: http://zodiacguide.sitesled.com/

I started off using the guide, but like to have as much control as possible so now I don't. Obviously depends on the codecs you install, but I like it.

Possibly not the simplest one-stop method.

Which Video encoder

Hi

I use a product called DVD Catalyst there are two versions and you can download a Full 7-day uncrippled trial version here

http://www.pocketdvd.ca/

The program is a all in one ripper DVD to PDA/IPOD/PSP etc

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] thecresta:
Try Super. Completely FREE :D and converts between nearly every file format imaginable. You do need to play with the settings to get good results though. Try 300-400KBps to start with and increase / decrease based on performance, and remember to use single channel and fairly low quality sound to keep the file as small as possible (unless you have decent earphones (and an adapter;) ))
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] Wam7:
Super is good but doesn't not give you a 2-pass encode option. Try something like PocketDivxEncoder which has the 2-pass option for encoding to Xvid. It's also very easy to set up and fast.

I actually use WinMEnc. not as polished or professional as PocketDivXEncoder but will convert from DVD or .avi file and is excellent quality plus the second pass is twice as fast as PocketDivxEncoder. (Both are based around Mencoder). For years I did it manually using VDub Mod and even Auto GK.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] g00nerz:
Another vote for Super. Excellent program for converting any format into any format.

And completely free.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] dbltap:
I've got CloneDVDmobile as well. I've used the full CLoneDVD for years with great success. The default for DVD encoding on CloneDVDmobile is set at a quality level of 23 or about 556 meg for a 2 hour movie. What quality level are you finding works best for the Hermes and DVD encoding to get as small an AVI file as possible without making the video un-watchable?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] Guest69:
I try to keep my avi files to around 300mb per movie. This seems to keep a sharp picture even with action scenes.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] silver2u:
Hi forumers!

So i just bought the Note 4, and received it yesterday.

I tried charging it this morning when it was at about 57%

it was plugged in for almost an hr and only charged 5%...

whatever happened to fast charge?

I was using the charger that came with the phone, it's not like i was using an extension cord...

So I've tried putting it on regular power saving mode, still nothing.

i checked the settings and fast charging was disabled completely...

Now that i'm at work (no charger) .. it's enabled again

I also didn't think the phone was overheating..

Does anyone know what's going on with that o.O???

all helps are appreciated ;)!

Thanks guys!

[Nook HD, HD+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gamermage:
So my nook has just decided that the touch screen just isn't going to work anymore. Otherwise everything else is perfect, what can I do to control this thing now? I didnt have usb debugging set up before, bluetooth is turned off. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
[Nook HD, HD+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Deleted member 2092952:
CWM recovery, there's no touch there and adb is enabled as well. So you can do whatever from there.

Redited. See here to enable usb debugging via cwm and adb: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/13326806/enable-usb-debugging-through-clockworkmod-with-adb

Make sure you do a full recovery backup first in the event you mess up and then find you need touch to do something.

There's some other possibilities such as getting your hands on a rom build update with usb debugging already enabled.

And then from there you should be able to force install an app to gain control of android remotely or for usb hosting.

[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rebdogg:
I've been using the OK Google hotword detection since I've installed the rooted 4.4.2 leaked rom and everything has been fine for a month or so. Just recently it completely stopped working, voice search now only works if I hit the microphone button. Even if I uninstall Google Search and reinstall it and try to run the setup again it won't work. When it asks me to train my voice and say "OK google" three times it won't pick up anything.

So this all started when I woke up one morning and my alarm clock Sleep Genius had an error and stopped working, and when I forced closed it and hit the home button I had to pick the launcher again (I've been using Apex) . So I picked Apex again and noticed my background was different than what I had before. Don't know if that has to do with anything but that's when I noticed hotword detection stopped working. I uninstalled both apps to see if that would work and still nothing. Any ideas? Thanks.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SirBindy:
Silly question: have you restarted the phone? You didn't state that in your post.

Also, have you tried clearing cache/dalvik?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rebdogg:
Okay so I tried wiping the caches and that didn't do anything. I started digging a bit more into this (searched Google and about 15 pages in found this) - disabling apps that are turned on under the Accessibility menu. Turned off Music Boss, Pebble watch and Lightflow. Sure enough started working again!

Will this effect how any of these apps work? I tested out my pebble and it still got a notification so everything seems fine so far.

Thanks for the help though!

See Brother No Rom is Copy of pawitp cm11 nor it is just name change All Rom's are different with different features like LiquidSmooth , AICP , AOGP Etc they all are different............. Right now the similarity is due to fact that they are merging Lollipop from AOSP and CM12 since first sources should be complete hence its similarity has time pass by you will notice lots new features which will show you that all Rom's are Different :)

hi! i have found similar threads, but they did not help me solve the problem, so here i am, writing a new one :o sorry guys. also sorry for my bad english, it is not my primary language..

i have an htc desire X which has a damage only on the outside display, the touch screen worked perfectly. then, all of the sudden the phone kept restarting, freezing for few seconds on the HTC welcome screen, then turning off again. it did that for about few hours then died completely, battery wouldn't charge either. on charge, red light on, no sign of life.

i have bought a new battery, and the phone turned on and did the same again, restarting every few seconds. i have pushed the low volume button + start combination, to have it go to the bootloader menu. since then it is frozen on that menu, stuck there. no buttons would work. they do work to get to the menu, but on bootloader not anymore.

i am a newbie, i dont know what to do, except for the fact that i have all contacts still in the internal storage and i was hoping to save them to an external disk/pc/microsd.

when i restarted the phone, the sim and the microsd were already out.

connecting the usb cable to the pc doesnt bring me anywhere either, my pc says "device not recognized" then it doesnt see any device. :confused:

please help me to get my data out somehow:crying:

little update:

:( this morning the "smart"-phone :rolleyes: is not stuck anymore, i was able to get to the bootloader and select recovery, BUT unfortunately any attempt to push the on button to confirm it went wrong, phone keeps just restarting or freezes again on HTC welcome screen. any idea?

The HandleMediaEvent sub service of Android System is randomly causing solid bar wakelocks for me. Rebooting the device usually fixes the issue temporarily. The only thing I could find after some googling on the issue was this older thread on a GS4 http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2483630

it seemed to think the issue could be caused by bluetooth devices. I Have a Moto 360, and use bluetooth earbuds almost everyday. But, I'd think there would be more reports of this problem if it was caused by that

Flashing via mobile odin will softbrick or brick your device.
