[General Questions and Answers] Sneakyghost:
Hi folks, got a prob here.

Yes i did search the Forums first, using these terms: "Active Sync Opera Crash". No results.

Google also returns zero data with similar issue description. seems to just be my desktop which could be interpreted as something being wrong at my end.

still...

Whenever i disconnect my HD2 with Duttys WinMo ROM it crashes Opera provided that is currently running. Sometimes only after a reconnction attempt, sometimes shortly after the disconnect. Then Active Sync fails at the next connect. Need to reboot Desktop. Then it still fails. Need to reset HD2, then it apparently fixes the issue.

Might be an Opera Bug, might be Active Sync. Posted it on the Opera community, see here: >>Clicky<<

Can anyone reproduce?

Any ideas?

greetz,

[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Maximus1000:
So far I am liking my gtablet, however getting videos to play on it seems to be a hassle. I do know that anything encoded in the high profile will not play, but it seems that a lot of trailers or videos that I try to play on the gtablet dont work. I am a bit put off by this since I wanted to use this as a portable video player for trips. I have a lot of videos that are 720p that are encoded into the high profile. I was wondering what the best way is to convert these videos to work on the gtablet. I have seen some converting software such as handbrake, but have no idea on the optimal settings. I want to preserve the quality as much as possible.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vsc:
Handbrake. I have no issue with high profile.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] roebeet:
x2 on Handbrake. I personally use an altered iPad profile and alter it to use MP4 (h263) which works just great on our device. 4000 kbps and you'll have a 2 hour movie at under the magical 4GB.

I have heard that 720p high profile might work, but that 1080p hp definitely does not work. (Tegra 2 limitation). I have never gotten even 720p hp to work - can you give out your settings and confirm that the video is actually hp in something like mediainfo? Thanks!

Freemake Video Converter

I am using freemake video converter and is pretty nice and easy to use. (http://www.freemake.com)
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Allenfx:
I have been asking this question for days.

1) Did not like handbrake, to me it was unintuitive. I like plug and play.

2) I ended up dropping $35 on cucusoft dvd ripper ultimate

http://www.cucusoft.com/ultimate-dvd-video-converter-suite.aspx#ultimate-dvd-converter

3) you can download it free and try it out for youself (adds a watermark until you purchase).

4) The ipad pre-setting seemed all wrong. None of the resolutions seemed to match the gtab and the gtab has a stronger profile. Plus the h.264 profile was laggy and the mp4 profile was too low a resolution

5) 4 Gigs seems like way too much real-estate for a Gtabs memory capacity.

6) I went into the standard mp4 profile

7) 720x480 (native resolution for a 1 to 1 copy of the dvd)

8) Kept screen aspect ration (nice letter box look).

9)1350-1400 bits is nice and smooth (anything above 1500 bits and it gets laggy, it seemed to me the gtab couldnt handle the processing above 1500bits (only noticeable in action scenes with rapid camera motion, Robin hood with all the action-fails above 1500bits, The changeling with its slower pace was actually ok up to 2,000bits) for fun i tried 800bits...way too fuzzy and visibly "jerky" (noticeable with slow camera pans-opening graduation scene of "i love you beth cooper" and you could see the jerking as the camera slowly panned around the graduation ceremony))

10) Video ouput of 10-15 (13 is the preset) (low profile, you won't notice on the gtab and it saves a bit of mgs).

Average size of a movie is 1g to 1.5gs. (Robin hood is a 2 hour 20min movie it takes 1.47g at the 2hr 15 min where i cut it off during credits with a video ouput setting of 10/1350bits/720x450).

Frame rate is smooth

Once you set it up..ripping is basically plug and play.

Hook up the usb, put it in mass storage mode, on your pc select to open it to view files. Create a file called "movies" Drag and drop. unmount the storage and you are done.

i downloaded real player from the market, it seems to handle it a bit better than the stock video player (or maybe its just me).

I am by no means an expert but when i asked, i got almost NO answers...so this is what i have come up with so far.

How do you que up 5 or 6 at once unless your computer has 5 or 6 DVD drives?

Do you have the FULL versions already ripped to your PC hard drive and then just que up the conversion?

For comparisons sake, My I7 860 overclocked to 3533G with an turbo mode enabled to 4.2gigs (runs around 3.6 to 3.8G while encoding) and 8g of ram pulls one off a DVD in about 30-45 minutes at my settings, although it sounds like that dynamic quality setting may take longer to encoded over picking a static bit-rate.

I am impressed with that set up...going to go through my settings later to see if there is a setting for that method of conversion......

I use head phones so i chose CD quality audio.

Using this to convert now, will report with my results later :)

He is not ripping DVD's, i would assume, rather using (legally attained) rips to convert them for viewing on his tablet
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Allenfx:
.

Mine are legally obtained to.

Net flix, i rent them convert them watch them once and delete them.

I pay to watch them once, i watch them once.

I just wanted to take them with me on the gtab so that i could have them on flights at hotels etc.

Do you like irony?

Netflix is available on the iphone, and win devices but not on android because they were concerned about piracy.

If they just had a dammed netflix app for droid devices...i wouldn't have to "rip" them to be able to watch them, i would just use the app.

In their vigiliance to avoid pirating..they forced me to "pirate" (not really as i only watch them once and delete, dont make copies etc) just to be able to WATCH THEM.

In their attempt to prevent something..they FORCED me to do that very thing just to obtain functionality = fail on their part.

Just provide the dammed app already netflix!!

(Regarding the dynamic quality. I will pass on that one as i don't want the files getting back up to 4g for use on a tiny 10inch screen..(seems like a waste). The standard ipad settings are some where around 1333 bit rate constant and i am running higher than that. The net flix app comes in even lower i think)

I am going to keep testing there are about 15 different settings i haven't even touched.

I do'nt understand why its laggy with the h.264 @1600bits or above bits if Roebeet does it in h.263 at 4,000bits on the modified ipad profile. I am a newb so who knows.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] reynwrap582:
I guess I should have specified, but a lot of people were talking about 1080p/720p content in other threads so I just assumed we were dealing with similar circumstances (or that they attained said videos through...questionable means?)

Anyway, my DVD collection was ripped ages ago to Xvid at 1.5GB a piece (I use XBMC for my movie collection and the discs are in storage), and those all run flawlessly on the GTab. I'll do something with them eventually (it's nice to be able to lend a DVD to a friend but still have the movie on XBMC). When I switched over to BluRay I built a healthy collection and ripped them all to 4-6GB 720p MP4s (later MKVs) for my media center, though the discs stay out on the shelf (but never come out of their cases, just there for show) and I have them around if I want to watch something in its original quality from the BRD. This latest conversion is specifically for my GTablet (though I imagine it would work fine for most mid-powered mobile devices. My Captivate plays them beautifully too).
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] reynwrap582:
Avatar was the only movie out of a couple dozen to reach 4GB, and that was because I set the QP at 4 -and- turned off denoising (though there wasn't film grain in the typical sense, there is a lot of fine/sharp detail, foliage and action in the film that demands higher bitrates.

Of the 27 other movies I've encoded with the profile I posted:

13 are under 1GB

10 are 1 to 1.5GB

4 are 1.5 to 2GB (2 of those used QP4 instead of QP6)

0 are over 2GB

I'll reencode Avatar with the same profile I posted and report the filesize and comment on visual quality.

The problem I've had with using defined bitrates is that I've had to "guess" what's appropriate for each movie to get the best compression to quality ratio, and I usually either overestimated and had wastefully large file sizes, or underestimated and had high-action scenes turn into blocky messes. I haven't had that problem with constant quality settings, and I haven't seen a significant increase in encoding time, and it's worth whatever little extra time it may take if it can keep me from having to reencode a movie.

UPDATE: At the default profile settings, Avatar came out to about 3GB on the nose, and still looks pretty darn great on the GTab. Filesizes that large are still a definite exception.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Allenfx:
I think i found the setting you are referring to in my software. It uses a different scale (i assume) (1 is highest and 31 is lowest). Its called "quality scale".

Does that sound about right?

I wonder what i would get if i set it to 4 also...trying now..

Edit: Encoded using the highest setting possible (which turned out to be "level 2" and got Robin Hood @3.7gbs. I think it raises the quality but its not dynamic like yours..(fixed settings)..

Edit: 2 It wont even play at that level.... wont load
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ~BAM~:
hey guys,

sorry to sound really new to this and I'm sure its all easily explained but I have one small query.

720P is essentially 1280x720 res

and Gtab has a 1080x600 screen

Doesnt this mean that GTab is downscaling your videos to a res suitable for 1080x600?

If so then why rip them to 720P when you could save extra space by ripping them to a lower res?

Otherwise has anyone compared a rip at effectively 1066x600 vs 1280x720 and can see a clear difference?

Thanks!
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] palagai:
Good Question, If the ripped video is only to be viewed on G-Tab, then yes what you thinking is right. But most people rip once and view it on different medias like TV, computer, tablet etc, and they don't need to re-encode it for different devices.

If someone has handful of video then they can encode it for different medias, but if you have a huge collection then you don;t want to encode for each device.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Allenfx:
Well in my case i am RIPPING THEM to watch once on the Gtab and then delete.... (basically taking my netflix CDs with me on the gtab to watch on air planes, car rides, etc.)

So what settings do you recommend in that situation?
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] palagai:
video of 720x304 with 1200 bitrate and audio bit rate 96K. for the mp4 profile.

and then you can increase/decrease depending on your liking.

I use DvdFab and I love it. I use the iPad profile, frame resolution of 848-ish. Bitrate of 3000. I set audio to bitrate of 160 and volume of 125%. These files are around 2 to 3 gigs. I have found that these settings look good on my GT, MT4G, and even on my 46 inch 1080p television using current Apple TV. The only issue I had was the artwork files I was adding were a no go for my MT4G. I think the issue was size. DvdFab is fairly easy to use, and you can trial it.

I have several Video players installed, Act 1, Arc Media, Real Player, Rock Player, and VPlayer. But Surprisingly, the embedded video player that comes with EStrongs File Explorer will play most formats provided the codecs that come with other Video players are installed.

I use Handbrake to convert all videos to m4V format. It does a fantastic job with Audio adjustment (depending on the source file).

I've said this before on another thread but if you plan on purchasing the DVDFab software with all the bells and whistles do a google search for tarzan media. I've bought it from them for less than $40 with free lifetime upgrades.

Oxelon

Is anybody using Oxelon to convert videos for the GTab? I just basically inherited mine from a friend who decided he has to have one with a fruit on the back, and I think I'll wind up using it mainly as a movie server. (I'll need a dock, of course, but that's a different thread!)

I've been using Oxelon to convert files for use on my Samsung Moment, and I'm just wondering if it will do a decent job for the GTab too. Of course, if the results are better, I'll switch over to Handbrake or whatever other freeware is best, but I'm happy enough with Oxelon that I doubt I'll upgrade to paid software. I'm not really a video snob, but I'd definitely like good-quality video to watch on my 720P television.

[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ~BAM~:
I tried this method and it works well. It does however use mpeg4.

I did a bit more research and have uploaded my plist file I am using now.

In case of newer version handbrake not letting you import the file just add this line in advanced:

bframes=0:cabac=0:weightp=0:8x8dct=0

and use h.264 under the video source and same as source for the fps. avg bitrate 4000. Actually 2000 is still not so bad and smaller file size.

The reason I post this alternative is that I do notice a quality difference between mpeg4 and h.264 which isnt huge but noticeable.

Anyways simple way download the plist file, unzip and import it.

I was using Handbrake to convert a 720p MKV video for the Gtab and I was using the stock "normal profile" preset. The video played but the video play fell behind the audio over time i.e. audio and video lost sync even on HW accelerated froyo. Research on the internet indicated that if you are converting to h.264 video, you need to use the "baseline" profile which translates to exactly what BAM was talking about in an earlier post. Specifically, bframes/cabac/weightp/8x8dct all need to be disabled/unchecked. The resulting video still looked great to me and audio/video was in sync.

The big "aha" moment for me in this experience was finding a mapping between "baseline profile" and actual Handbrake settings. Hope this helps.
