Here you go,Works perfect for me.

Change the preset to: Apple iPod 5G Video (320x240)
change the quality to high for better picture but takes a lil longer to convert but works fine on the phone

Lol ok maybe I worded the question wrong. I have win avi. I wanted to put some movies on my phone. I used the settings for htc under mobile devices but, the way I understand it, our phones are capable of running the same quality video as the ipod touch. That's basically my question..? What resolution and what audio codec should I use to watch my movies on my phone?

Good video player

Hey folks I'm looking for a good video player. I use various formats but mostly avi but the only app I have found that plays it is QQplayer and that app sucks itself. Has vlc been ported to market yet or anything better?

MoboPlayer
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 would have to go with rockplayer. I have found it to play just about anything very well and haven't had any issues with videos on my Xoom.

+1 For Mobo. I had the Neon version and it was horrible. The medium version works great though!

Camera APK that will work at low LCD densities?

Hi all,
Just wondering if anyone know of a Camera.apk that will not FC at LCD densities below 182?
Is there a hack that can be otherwise applied to make it work?
Thanks!
PS: I am currently using the attached APK from MIUI, and it is working great under Overcome 1.6.3... however, it lacks 720p recordign support, hence my request...
The tab can't do 720p so you can stick with the miui if you like it.

I don't know how you did it, but with the official camera.apk I can only get 720*480. So it's not 720p for me.

I stand corrected! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/720p
I gotta brush up on my HD nomenclature.
We know what 720p is. But the fact is the galaxy tab can only do 720*480 and not 1280*720. So it definitly not 720p.

With Lgcamera app you can record 800x480 _ h264 compression in mp4 format. And ... by the way Galaxy tab is able to record in 720p if you know how to modify camera app, build some libs and compile a kernel.

Streaming HD on Galaxy Tab, possible ?

Hello everybody !
I'am interested to buy a Galaxy Tab but wondering if we can watch HD streaming from own3d.tv, if someone here please may test and watching a live for testing and tell me if it works very well, would be very nice!
Many thanks!
Streaming 720p on youtube is working fine, so I suppose it's also working here. I can't test this site right now because my connection is slow at work.
Edit : I must add it's on gingerbread, on froyo it lags as hell.
Sent from my GT-P1000 using XDA App
If you can test when you back to home, would be very nice, because I really want to be sure. I found a used galaxy tab for 250 euros on the net and he waits for my answer back
Not before 8PM GMT.

Galaxy Tab has a tegra chip in which struggles to stream 1080p.
Galaxy S II plays very well

Don't know about 720p though. That might play smoothly on the Galaxy Tab

DK206 : don't talk about what you don't know please. I know you just want to help but that will lead into desinformation. Galaxy tab 7" has a hummingbird cpu and powervr sgx540 gpu.

How to capture on-screen video?

does anybody know how to capture video on Lg Optimus 2X? Screencast app doesnt work with tegra 2. are there any other options pls?
I have no idea what you're talking about or how to help you, but it might be nice to post some more info like for example what ROM you are using and kernel.
Well, i think Rom and Kernel dont matter here, i just need to know if there is any chance of recording video (of what im right doing on my phone) and i said i know there is a program for it (called ScreenCast, but this programm doesnt work with Tegra2/3 devices). So my question is, is there any other way to record like that?

eraldo I had trouble understanding what his objective is too, but I think I understand now... he wants to record video of what he's doing on the phone... like fraps for the PC.
You'll have to make due with screenshots I guess...
Tegra 2 does not support NEON, and does not manage the display via a framebuffer so screen video capture isn't possible.

Tablets are different and your device obviously uses a frambuffer the o2x does not, however tegra 2 doesn't support NEON at all.
You may use Droid Explorer or Android VNC Server, for getting video by usb cable on your PC. But for this method frame rate is very low.
I use screen recording software to do that. It is not only able to record onscreen video, but also can take screenshots.

Flashing Movies and How?

I need to know the best way and what people use, I'm using the latest MobyPlayer plus UTorrent but for some reason after it downloads and I go to play it back it says your device player isn't capable? If anyone could walk me through this or give a good link that would be great also used MXPlayer

i haven't had any problems with nay movies/videos...
Using MX video player (the free version) & it seems to play almost anything i want.
I think maybe cuz I don't have 1.7gb available but are all movies that large

Maybe the player is telling you that it can't use HW decoding for video???
Sometimes using MXvideoplayer is uses SW decode, but as long as i'm not watching a hd movies it's ok.
It's a problem when you try to watch a 720p movies without using HW decoding..
It plays laggy; but generally it's a question of avi's codec that aren't decoded by our cpu..
Download qqplayer and everything will be fine.

Flashing Movies and How? Am I the only one who doesn't know what a flashing movie is?
Surely you must know if you have enough drive space to copy a movie across.
I use MXplayer to play vids. Works flawlessly even when the phones got tTorrent running which is extremely taxing. I rarely use the phone to watch movies besides on extended bathroom visits. Usually stream them to WDlive player using Twonky mobile if I couldn't be bothered copying them over. (All free versions btw)
@itsbeertimenow I tried qqplayer and was out of sync on mkv's.
I'm still trying to figure out the "flashing movies" bit
