[Q] How to convert mkv file to be played on Galaxy S - Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi everyone,
a lot of movie in 720p(mkv) are not smooth at all, so i would like to know how to convert a mkv file to played it on the galaxy s?
I search on google and everything i found are not free like pavtube or Aunsoft MKV converter!
And unfortunatly they have no tutorial on XDA to reencode properly a MKV file in 720p for Galaxy S!
Sorry for my english, i'm french .

Hi try using a programme called handbrake for the PC its free and very good also if you look on Google for the settings for n900 on this software they are perfect i used it on my galaxy s and converted films to h.264.

Mkv videos

So I cant find this anywhere. I downloaded a complete tv series in mkv format. On the pc its good quality. But on my tab im using arcsoft media player, and the video is a little choppy and pixilated. Any suggestions to get better quality?

Try moboplayer. Its awesome and free as well. Its in the market.
The native player is working good with mkv if it doesn't have dts audio. No need for third party player.

care to elaborate? I am the video expert but am not psychic lol. File format? Video app you're using? Tab type? Firmware version? Error message or just FC?
Did you enable stagefright for player? This keeps some files from being played.

Where can i find that stagefright?

The stock video player doesn't play all videos. Try for instance mobo player. It's free and plays all my videos.
About the stagefright thing: you can find it in /system/buil.prop or /data/local.prop. There are entries like media.stagefright.eneable-*. Only http and rtsp should be true. Enabling the others can break the playback of certain video formats.

SGT P1000 upgraded to 2.3.3 not playing AVI

Hi Ppl,
I bought SGT P1000 in India with froyo 2.2. When i bought the tab it played all formats like AVI. VOB format i played using rock player.
Since i have upgraded my tab to 2.3.3 and rooted it using CWM, I am not able to play any AVI file!!! Not even the ones which came pre loaded with it. I can only play the Mp4 formats. Please suggest how to resolve this issue!
My apologies for posting at wrong place earlier.
Thanks in anticipation.
Try mx player, it's a good player and it's free. The stock player doesn't have many options.

[Q] Which video conversion app do you use for Note?

Hey guys,
Recently got a note but cannot find a decent video conversion app. What is the size I should convert the video files into? any reccomendations for mac/windows?
Cheers!
Don't have any answer for the question but with mx video player, you won't need to convert probably.
Just use Handbrake which converts to MP4 - you can change the settings to get better quality or smaller file. I've been using this program for all of my phones...perfect so far!!
To play on the Note, MX Videoplayer is your friend!
Unless the file size is larger than 3.9Gb I dont convert it anymore, I use Handbreak to convert it to 3.9Gb but for HD movie sources that are 15-20GB I split convert them into 3x 3.9Gb files to preserve the quality and just delete it after viewing.
For info, here is the link : http://handbrake.fr/
Thanks, I know of handbrake and will try it. Will give MX a go too without converting. Thank you all.
If you're quite technical and/or somewhat of a videophile (as I am!) then I'd recommend giving Mediacoder a try too.
Mediacoder lets your configure a lot more options than Handbrake, but it has a terrible GUI so is a lot more difficult to use.
Moboplayer plays everything. No need to convert.

+1 for moboplayer. Never converted anything

Mxvideo player is the best and if you have big files just use mkvtoolnix (PC app), no reencoding, just split the file in 2 or more mkvs (under 4GB) !
BS player
Plays everything and smoother than MX with my HTC HD2 ICS
