[Galaxy Tab General] spekesel:
I put a couple of tv shows on there (South Park, Walking Dead, Ugly Americans). Max size was like 2.2GB.

I am converting them now to 1024x600 (should be 1024x576, but I figured the ever so slight difference should be ok)

However, I am at work now so I'll have to wait for a bit before I can check.
[Galaxy Tab General] mklass:
What programme do you use?
[Galaxy Tab General] eskasi:
Try MKV2VOB. IT will change the files to AVI if you wish and maintain quality (or compress) as you wish. It also has within settings the ability to break up the files so that they don't exceed 4gbs for FAT32 formatted drives.... (Like what the PS3 needs )
[Galaxy Tab General] mklass:
Excellent. gonna give this a try when I get home.
[Galaxy Tab General] spekesel:
I use mediacoder, works rather well for me, probably also has some setting to break the files up.

I got impatient, so I converted one file, South Park, from 720p mkv to 600p mp4, variable bitrate quality 50, came in at 61mb (lol) and yeah, sftp'd that sucker down, stuck it on and I have to say, looks good.

I am now gonna try something less easy (Walking Dead). It comes in to almost 600mb (from 2.2gb) so lets see how that looks. Will take a bit to d/l though.

Or I could just wait to get home.....but it's not like I have to watch the download take place.

:)
[Galaxy Tab General] mklass:
Thanks for your help,

Im gonna do abit of downloading an covering later on to see what gets the best results. I think Samsung should have brought there own converter out specifically for the tab that would have been nice.

Wow south park looks good at 61 mb :O

I think you should upload it and send me a pm with a link so I can test :D
[Galaxy Tab General] spekesel:
Test away. (you got PM)
[Galaxy Tab General] mklass:
Thanks dude,

The video looks nice and sharp especially at 60mb..

Id say the only thing I noticed was the audio seems abit quiet.
[Galaxy Tab General] spekesel:
Yeah, the original was ac3. It always is a bit soft to allow for dynamic range. I will make a note to bump up the gain for my future encodes.
[Galaxy Tab General] ftgg99:
Come on kids. The tab has a screen suited for 480p. Anything higher than 600 pixels will simply be bigger than the screen.

When you use the HDMI dock, however, it should play xvid @1080p on your tv.
[Galaxy Tab General] spekesel:
480 <- 600 -> 720

Either will get scaled (up or down). Also cool how they are both the same distance from each other (120 lines).

Personally, I'd rather have MORE info and scale it down than less and scale it up.

Plus I also said that 1080p is massive overkill. 720p works nicely, though reformatted for 600p is smoother (less ghosting of movement to my eyes).

YMMV
[Galaxy Tab General] tscotsman:
so is AC3 working fine, I dont want to recode all the TV programmes. If it can play mkv 720p AC3 then Im happy. I know up until recently it couldnt do mult-channel audio, wether it be 720p or 1080p
[Galaxy Tab General] wjharing:
yes, ac3 works fine for me.

there should be an easier solution to watch 720p movies. Is it not possible to simply split the movie in 2 parts? There should be some mkv-split program out there, that does not need to recode, just create new headers...

(so far I am watching tv shows, and those files are 1gb)
[Galaxy Tab General] ftgg99:
Mkvtoolnix will do it in seconds on windows.
[Galaxy Tab General] iccy:
I downloaded a 7120p and 1080p trailer and tested and it workd awesome, except for the aspect ration wasent the best. I run tvshows and it works like a charm
[Galaxy Tab General] pablo1215:
Has anyone tried using the micro sd to play a video file over 4gb? I will try tomorrow but just curious. I know not the ideal way but still better than two separate files in my opinion.
[Galaxy Tab General] Rishy:
I dont think you can...reason being is that to load files over 4GB, you would have to format the SD card to NTFS or exFAT....once you do that and plug it back in to the Tab, the Tab wont recognise the card at all...
[Galaxy Tab General] Rishy:
But when you select .avi, it says that all it does is actually rename the file...it doesnt export it as true avi...

Ive tried the app above but cant seem to play any converted video on my Tab :( must be doing something wrong..
[Galaxy Tab General] Buck Shot:
dvd shrink is a great program to use. itll downsize as movie to about 500-600mbs and keep quality

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wingzfan:
I work at a major electronics store as a 2nd job and the majority of people there own EVO's so I end up rooting multiple per week. Its become so often that Ive downloaded all the tools, guides, roms, add-ons, and themes on my laptop to make life easier on me. So far every one of them has gone flawlessly, until last night.

All drivers are loaded and all cables etc work fine. I loaded a coworkers last night and for some reason ADB refuses to see his EVO. Typing "adb devices" returns an empty result and no commands work stating "no devices found". I checked his software version and its the 3.29.651.5 version that Ive rooted dozens of times before. I load my phone on my system and it shows up fine, I loaded another unrooted evo on my system and again it shows up fine. His is the only one that wont load. USB debugging is on and its set to charge only. The only difference with his phone is it was set to htc sync by default when plugged into a pc but I manually selected charge only.

Has anyone seen this before or know how to resolve it?

And before anyone asks, no I dont charge anyone anything to do this. I do it to show people what you guys here are capable of doing. 2 nights ago I rooted a sprint sales rep from my local store after he saw mine when my wife got her new phone. He called me yesterday begging me to not do anyone elses there because the whole store was going nuts over his phone wanting to know how the hell he did it and he was loving rubbing it in.
[XPERIA X1 General] ethanliew92:
Hey everyone! my Xperia X1 has been serving me quite good since I joined XDA.

But that's not enough! I want another phone to test other developments! :p:p

So I need a little help here.. Malaysia has an event on giving out a HD7 for any Malaysian citizen who can gain the most support out from in Facebook(tm) so I thought on giving it a try. If by chances I win this, I can be a tester (I'm not a programmer, but I want to be one though..) for any developments coming out from XDA.. It's better to have another 1 extra tester right? :D:D

Please view my facebook.com(slash)ethanliew92 to help! thanks a lot

I've just upgraded to android 2.1, gained root but am now stuck with market not downloading. I've searched a bit for the solutions but apart from the standard uninstall of market updates (which I don't have nor do I have the option of removing updates) I didn't find anything useful. Anyone having the same problem or preferably a solution to the problem? :/

And yes, otherwise it runs perfect.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] roganjosh:
Did you do a full restore using Titanium Backup? I found that broke a couple of things for me, including wifi and the market issue you mention. I had to reflash to get it working, and then be more selective with my Titanium restore.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] c05m1x:
I did a clean slate - reset to factory settings then upgraded to 2.1. I didn't use any restore app (although I have rerware backup app and backups) and everything else works like a charm apart for the market downloads which is a bit of a hassle. Is there a built in file browser in android or any other way to run the applications downloaded (have some apk but can't reach them from within the phone). This is a bit annoying :/

[Desire HD General] webego:
I have also posted this on VF forums but hoped someone here on might have some experience of this:

Anyone out there using Skype on their DHD yet? I use skype for my business and have a skype incoming number too so it is great that I will no longer have to divert skype calls to my mobile at cost. I can now just pick them up directly from my mobile for free. I can even make free outgoing UK landline calls from the mobile via skype as part of my skype subscription, although this isn't as big a deal due to the VF contract I have.

I may be wrong, and I will be testing this out very soon, but when abroad and assuming you buy a local SIM with some data allowance, I think I should be able to receive calls to my skype number and make calls (via my skype subscription) to UK landlines all from my mobile for free! Can anyone with similar experience confirm this to be the case?

Also, the skype app for android isn't the most intuitive regarding changing the settings etc and you can't use the back button once logged in, only the home button to hide the app. Hopefully that will be addressed in the next release. My main issue however is that I cannot change the ringing volume for skype which is currently set very low. I have found an option to change the ring tone but it only offers either the default or something from the music stored on the handset, no mention of volume though. I have also set all the volumes of the handset (Calls, notifications, etc) to full but skype still rings very quietly. Anyone have any ideas on this?
[Desire HD General] webego:
For anyone interested, Skype just released an update for this app. It now allows you to use the back button to hide the app. However there is now a more annoying problem of the missed call page showing up everytime you go to the app (assuming you have a missed call) and won't go away until you clear the whole history.

I have read on other forums the only solution to the low ringing volume is to change the default to a music file of your choice which is of a decent volume.
[Desire HD General] Galeforce:
Yes, tried Skype on my DHD today for the first time. Signal was quite good to start with but then the sound started breaking up a little. Then I took an incoming Skype call which didn't have such good sound quality.

It clearly works, but I think the sound quality, like on another other computer, depends on the quality of your data internet connection. Also, it is annoying about the back button, I agree. Looks like its just the first version for Android, so hopefully Skype will improve it soon.
[Desire HD General] silashack:
So the BIG ?

Is there a front facing camera on the DHD?
[Desire HD General] Ozzy1:
No, the DHD hasnt got a front facing camera.
[Desire HD General] vansmuk:
Any idea if the back camera can be used for a video call?

Not very convenient I know but its someth at least ;]
[Desire HD General] nubicurio:
If it works, you can always use it in front of a mirror right? :)
[Desire HD General] faugusztin:
And what does that have to do with Skype ? You know, Android version doesn't have video call support. :)
[Desire HD General] silashack:
NO I did not, because all the crappy reviews do NOT mention that, most of them tend to be C&P from some bad stock handout, same as a few 'older' reviews of the DHD mention that the FFC may only work when 2.2 comes out.

As we can see plenty of bull**** on the internet ;)
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rellivisit:
Hi Guys,

As an android newbie I tried to update my Galaxy S to Froyo and root my phone. What I did is the following:

- Update to Froyo using Odin with FW Jbakers I9000xxJPP European V3 -> succesfull

- Downloaded OCLF in the Market -> succesfull

- Clicked Root Device Recovery 2e in the One Click Lag Fix app -> stupid, as it only works for 2.1, I didn't read good enough

- Nothing really happened, so I did another root by using the Superoneclick 1.5. This rooted the phone and it said: Root ok.

- Now I go to the OCLF and all the options are still red (apart from Root Device Recovery 2e), so it looks like it's not rooted. I tried to reboot and disconnect my microsd several times, but it's still not possible to apply the EXT2 tools, Lagfix etc.

Could it be that the first action I did (click Root Device Recovery 2e in OCLF) screwed up my phone? And how can I solve it? Can I in some way recover factory settings and unroot or something like that? I already did a factory reset using my privacy -> restore factory settings option.

Thanks in advance for your replies.

or a format

[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] bonez537:
I had a Cliq XT while waiting for my G2(vision) to arrive.

In that time.. I rooted the Xt..which came withthe wireless tether apk built into it...

I go to tether it to my laptop and it works perfectly fine..

I use the same exact tether program for my G2 but i cannot get it to work..

The difference between the 2 ..

When i use the Cliq XT as soon as i start the wireless tether and link the 2 up The phone asks me for permission to allow the laptop to link..

With the G2... It does not do this. and I can not get it to work..

I get the laptop to recognize the g2.. it says connected.. but no data is transferred..

Can anyone help Please.

____________________ Thanks
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] Carloswithac:
Is your G2 rooted?
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] bonez537:
Yeah.. it is rooted..

i have the wireless tether ap i downloaded from google..

Just cant get it to transfer any data..

I just uploaded the "OTA" andit works that way.. I just dont want to pay 14.99 so i would rather have the app working instead of this..
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] rwbarnes67:
It works for me. Maybe try uninstalling and redownloading?

Actually, you HAVE to use an older version of Wireless Tether. Do a search, it's been a topic.
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] bonez537:
How much older... I use the 2.02 i think it is..
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] briginiaea:
Have u tried using it open and unsecured? I had the same issue and that was the only way I got the pc to recognize it as a wifi network and not pc-pc connection
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] bonez537:
I have it open....

I have hard reset the phone 3 times. trying to get it to work.. I have re rooted the phone. .and redownloaded the ap several times..

doesnt work..

but the cliq xt.. works perfectly fine.
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] jakijal:
yeah there were some problems with the latest releast of wireless tethering or whatever the name of the app off of googles code site is.

i have it installed and it did work with the password encryption and all of that enabled.

the version i have is:

2.0.5 pre11
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] Flyin18T:
I have my old Cliq XT just sitting around since I got my G2. Do you mind posting a link to the method you used to root it? I've researched different methods, but it sounds like it was pretty stable for you. Thank you.
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] jakijal:
i dont know who you were trying to address in ur post but ill put in my 2 cents...

just download 'visionary' app from the market to root. its very very simple. it roots the g2 on its own when ran.
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] bonez537:
Im thinking he was talking to me..

He wants to know where i rooted my cliq xt..

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] divago:
Hi all

dunno if this is the right question, i'm fairly new so please forgive me :)

some time ago, when i was retrieving my phone from casing, i found it turned off. Case i'm using is not really fit for SGS and are a bit tight so i thought poweroff button was pressed inside the case.

This happened a few times, everytime when i was retrieving from case

then few days ago i was copying files via USB and found an error. When i pressed home button to check what happened (exit screen power saving mode), phone was totally not responding. I (long) pressed the power button and phone started (boot up logo, memories scan, etc.)

today while i was hearing some music (with poweramp), music started lagging; when i hit "next file" phone restarted

so...

1) what's the problem? is a not-working app or an hardware problem?

2) there is a log to check? or an app who gives log?

i use OS Monitor to task manager things... maybe he logged something? where?

3) there is an app who could log those problems?

last 1-2 weeks i found phone really slowed down; quadrant benchmark dropped around 1940 (it was over 2200 after OCLF). I really fear there are something wrong with the phone (but could also be some app not working... OS Monitor shows nothing unusual)

i tried removing OCLF and using again (with larger partition size)

my phone specs:

fw version: I9000XXJM2

build: ECLAIRE.XWJM3

using root and OCLF dowloaded from this forum

(don't remember name of the poster... maybe was Ryanza?)

ty all for helping :)
