[Q] Movies - Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello
Soon i am going on vacation and want to get some movies to have them while travelling etc... Where do you guys get movies for your mobile from, or should i rip them (prefer to download the right resolution ofc )
Is there some site with torrents or anything alike around?
I know mobilism has a movie gallery but most of them are uploaded on uploading sites which are far worse than torrent files...
Hope this post is not against the rules
tnx for the help

rip them off your own DVD collection

The only resolutions I have tried are 720p and 1080p. Both have worked fine.
Also the only container type I have attempted is mp4 with AAC audio and H.264 video. It worked fine.

y but cba to rip all the movies its easyer if some collection is online already
it seems ill just need to rip them, tnx anyways

what is the easiest free way to cut mp4 files

shorten it for example...
What you mean?
By cut a mp4 file i can understand this:
I had a video file in mp4 Format and I dont want the first 5 minutes so... I took the SPB dvd converter select the video and determine begin and of of the whole video...
Or i can understand that my MP4 video file is too heavy so i decide to make it lightweight so... i can suggest convert it to avi... mmm or reduce the Mbps or the sound quality with the DVD Catalyst... Or SPB dvd converter.
I dislike mp4 so i always use avi.
its the dont want 5mins

Where do you my mobile movies?

I bought the acer m900 with its 3.8 vga and then bought coreplayer....... im itching to see a movie on this device,,,,,,,,
Where do I buy a movie?
No wonder apple is kicking but in mobile entertainment. I have been searching for hours and still cant find an easy way to get a movie onto my device.
I have found that you can read a dozen threads for hours and download multiple files to rip a DVD and then convert it.
I just want to go to a site and pay a one time 15 dollar fee and download a movie.
I think its possible in itunes and will coreplayer play the movie?
$15 buy the movie on DVD and convert with one of the many free tools available, worth it just for a hard-copy
You have some choices
WM is not as simple to set up as Apple, but it's not locked down the way Apple is either, and I'm fine with that. With that out of the way, there are a few ways you can get movies onto your device:
If you want to go the rip and convert route AudialsOne is a great program to use. You can check it our here :
http://audials.com/en/free_music_videos_downloads/index.html
I have my cable connected to my PC tuner card and use Windows Media Center to capture movies and TV, which can then be synched with my Tilt and watched wherever.
You can also of course DL movies from torrents or Usenet, which will play on your device.
I wish MS would add movies to the Zune Marketplace, because that media is also playable on our phones, but so far it is only TV.
I hope that helps
well the best way would be converting the movies of ur choice through a converter..dont waste ur money buyin movies from sites..which u dont even know will play perfectly on ur device..n u end up wasting money on a converter..
I guess I was barking up the wrong tree. Thanks for the tun around. Ive never ripped a dvd or converted but I went to download.com and downloaded WinX DVD Ripper and its converting Superman right now.
I've got the Touch HD and I love to watch movies on it. WVGA screens are making it truly possible on mobile phones, although FWVGA would be better, due to the extra 54 pixels in width (854x480), which is the more native 16:9 aspect.
Even though it's easier getting movies on an iphone, I don't think it's screen is anywhere near as suitable for movies. Too low-res (below SD resolution), too square. 2:3 is troublesome even for youtube, lol.

Glad you getting there
The software i use:
Magic DVD Ripper : Awesome quality DVD Rips
A-One FLV to AVI : Very easy converter for compressing to Mobile format don't be fooled by the name as it will convert anything to .mp4 etc
Just a couple of hints.
Encode to resolution of device
Keep the Audio quality down as no phones are great and will keep overall file size down.
Same framerate as sorce you can find source framerate via right click properties on sorce .avi etc "otherwise you will get the classic 2-1 pulldown effect jittery on pans etc"
Hope that helps.
PocketDivx Encoder (google it) will convert anything your PC has codecs for. Works a treat and despite its name, it will convert to just about any device going including a full 1080p TV

Hello Monty,
That s a funny coincidence. Thats the one I downloaded. I'm on my 3rd attempt to place a movie on the device. The first time I couldn't find the file when it was finished. The second time the movie had subtitles because I forgot to uncheck the option. And now this 3rd time it is running with setting recomendations I got in another thread and it is taking forever. I started it it at 5am and now its 12:30 and its 3/4ths done on a 150 minute movie.
WinX DVD Ripper video format H264
With PocketDivx Encoder i was real confused by the aspect settings. I t has 2 boxes that are adjustable and I couldn't get either to read 800X480.
Everything new has a learning curve. The more flexibility the more you have to learn. There is always dumbed down options available and these are for people who have money and are too lazy to learn and have to pay somebody to do it for them; people like this are held hostage forever more.
When people opt for learning they keep their brains working till old age but young people don't ever think they will ever get old. I've got a history of Alzheimer's in the family so I am aware of keeping my brain cells ticking by learning new tricks every day.
I've used to use pocketdivX but the small screens are too tiring for me now and I've stopped encoding (until I get one of those video-goggles that make video BIG!!!). Never had a problem to encode for the HTC Universal. Great screen.

Hello,
Was wondering if u use that app u were talking about.Is it reliable?
I've used it for over a year with no issues.
Converts music and movies, can captures internet streams as well. Very useful.
Great, thanks a lot for the info about that Audials One app.This is definitely worth checking out, going to try it myself.
movieload.in its a free site to download mobile movies and a file will be abt 60 mb which downloads in abt few mins
The only reliable tool to convert video I've found so far is Adobe Premiere, which is a bit pricey. Most freely available tools suck, unless you use ffmpeg on Linux (with a decent GUI).

best hd/ video player?

I tried rock player lite, but it doesn't play hd vids very smoothly; I transcoded Star Trek 2009 to mp4, and its very jerky and doesn't play smooth..
Any other video players that you guys might recommend?
thanks so much; lovin' this damn thing!!!
atomb said:
The best I have used so far is MoboPlayer (http://moboplayer.com/moboplayer_en.html) You have to use the medium version since the Xoom doesn't support Neon. This is the only player I could get to play 720p video smoothly. Hope that helps and if you find something better let me know!

I tried this and it works the best out of all i have tried. Make sure you get the medium version and not the Neon version.
unfortunately, mobo player does not recognize .m4v files, which is how I have saved my ripped Blu rays..

tried renaming them as mp4? usually does the trick for me if i recall. the two formats are almost identical.
I have had no trouble using the stock video player to play 720p videos encoded into a mp4 file. I would go that route and use the hardware decoding

thanks; doing that, and encoding 720p instead of 1080p seemed to fix it!
Any news on the android version of VLC??

The Xoom can easily handle 720p videos. I haven't tested 1080. It all depends on how you encode the video.
From what I've seen on the threads and in personal experience, there are really only two viable players: the Android native video player, and RockPlayer. Between these two, you should be able to enjoy all your video, provided you have encoded them correctly.
I hate converting videos, thats why i use mobo. Its played all my videos great. Much better than Rock played, vplayer advance same spot.
found one!
Vital player will play everything for me, including 1080p videos that I have encoded with Handbrake..
Loving this thing!!
rockplayer and the stock video player handles blu rays i convert with handbrake very well
I tried different players and playback quality is mostly the same. Perhaps minor, but I like the interface in mVideoPlayer - posters, IMDB links etc.
I have said it before and Ill say it again. Your best bet for video is to get PLEX. As of this writing it is still not Honeycomb ready. As a beta tester working with the devs, I can tell you that its playing video like a champ on my Xoom and a release to public should be coming very soon.
what good is telling us that here if WE can't download it yet?
you should wait until its released before you keep posting that here..

Two reasons really.
Lets face facts that the majority of us here own a Xoom because we are Android nerds and already own a Android phone. So purchasing Plex on your phone will give you access to it on your Xoom when its available. In truth you can install it on your Xoom already, the video just does not work in the current release.
Two there is no quicker way to know about its updated release for Honeycomb compatibility then to have it already installed and letting the market inform you.
Lastly this is a community page and a community OS, so keeping others informed is kind of the way things work. If you have a problem with someone telling you that there will soon be an app released that will do X, but you cant have it yet, mumble quietly to yourself, but keep it to yourself.

Do you mean using stock player in hardware decoding mode?
How do you do this? I can't find the options for the stock player.

Hi,
I use QQPlayer. It plays everything I have thrown at it and it does not need any special permissions to install.

Obviously wasn't high profile or it would have stuttered without sound.

[Q] Can it play high bitrate 1080p videos?

I am thinking of getting this phone. I would like to know if it can play high bitrate MKV/MP4/TP/TS video files (like music videos of 1GB size). Anyone tried this yet?
I would also like to know if it can handle 10bit videos as well though I think this will be based on the app/player....
Thanks!
4sashi got loads of HQ music videos which you can try
Video quality in this phone is satisfactory. I'm playing some 1080 HD videos/movies with MX player and Movies app with no problems so far... Out of topic..can you give me a site which has HD quality pictures?
Sorry i dont have a site for that. Would you mind if you download something from the bluray mvs from 4sashi and try it out in sp?
cmon guys
need your help on this
The 1080p videos recorded by the SP are of 20mbps bitrate (much higher than most movies/tv episodes) and they play back just fine
I watched some game of thrones 1080p episodes, 2.2gb in size each and they played fine

You can play videos with 40mbps bitrate,
but 1080p 60fps videos are freezing and bouncing on stock player
i am really interested to know if it can handle music videos (1 gigabytes in file size)....
I have a couple of TS and TP files with file sizes of 1-2 gigabytes and based on media info, they have an average of 36000kbps bit rate. (note they are only music videos of around 3-5 minutes in length)
i am just too lazy to convert my video files thats why i am asking this.
even my e8400 is suffering from frame skips when trying to play them :cyclops:
anyways im off to check this phone for myself hehe

I played some 1920 x 1080 videos and it worked fine.
However, my phone can't handle the video with 1080p 60fps.The Audio skips and the video is quite laggy ..
The only phone i know that can play heavy 4k videos so far is the Z1
ok so i went ahead got this phone
it just cant play some of my videos hehehe
i used mxplayer by the way
oh well just need to convert them again...
thanks guys
still i am quite satisfied with this phone
now i need to root my phone..... and some other stuff
Plays 1080p
I have Xperia SP,I've tested a couple 1080p videos that I downloaded,ran them pretty well;no problems
---------- Post added at 07:09 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:04 AM ----------
I've had a Galaxy mini 2 and I rooted and unrooted it,but My new SP;don't think that I'm gonna root it
After a year using this phone...
1-Support 720p & 1080p up to 40Mbps bitrate(BluRay.ts using MX player with custom codec)
2-Support 720p at 60fps without lagging both on MX player or Stock player (Bravia might not working,Work only on first 10 second)

[Q] Play H10P video with Z1

You should give us link to try.
I found something on YouTube and if you meant on something like this YOUTUBE LINK then YES it can and it's very smooth.
If you have link for short movie to download, send me PM and I will try for you.
Sent from my Z1
Stock Player can't
What he is asking for is if the Z1 can play Hi10p encoding. This is the latest encoding using 10bits instead of the normal 8bits (you can google for the rest of the features). You can go to doki.co or bakabt.me (BBT usually has larger files since it's full series, but if you're afraid of getting called the P word, everything in BBT is unlicensed in the states) and get one of the episodes there. The episode name will have 10bit or Hi10P or H10P in the name.
I don't watch movies on my device, but I have a few downloaded and waiting to be transferred off. I tried and the stock player and ES media player can't play these videos. I'm not sure if there are any 10bit player in the play store either.
I'm sure Z1 can handle that video but the question is do we have software and codex for that.
I really don't know that - so sorry - can't help here.
Sent from my Z1
Also watch a crapton of anime, Z1 plays 720p Hi10p videos fine using MX Player.
Struggles with 1080p Hi10p, but the file I tested had a very high bitrate and it was streamed from my PC.
Only works with software mode though, so battery takes a bit of a hit.
