How do I get movies that I have downloaded from iTunes onto my phone. I searched google but there is no "easy" method for this, so I thought I would go to all my buddies here on xda.
Is there a simple app that can do this task? Thanks
I have yet to try to view a movie on my phone from any source, but I always used Any Video Converter for my PSP back in the day. But I don't know if that will work.
***EDIT*** Okay I'm trying "Any Video Converter" now lol
I thought you were saying any "video converter"
no worky.
Have to pay for the pro.
Handbrake?

Just bought my wife a fascinate and sold her iphone. She had videos on her iphone she is trying to play on her fascinate however the player doesnt support the format (.m4v) I know I can recode the videos to a avi or mpg format I just dont want to spend that kind of time.
Is there a video player out there anyone can reccommend that plays other formats outside the fascinate's select few?
M4V is acutally already encoded in MP4, the only difference is the extension. Have you tried playing these files on the fascinate? what specifically are these. videos captured by the phone? Downloads from itunes? i've never had an iphone, but i used itunes to download a video (the free music video fo the week) and put it on my fascinate and it played right away. what is the exact issue you are having? Please be specific.

Here is a link to a player that plays just about everything.
http://www.filestube.com/ef8b1189a5cca0f903e9/go.html
Soul Player (Free)
mVideoplayer (free)
using cifsmanager allowed me to use the stock player for anything. I had(ve) many of those file types left over from airvideo.
jatilq is right those will work. I just had to add that I've found doubletwist player to play everything I've thrown at it and if you are really desperate, rockplayer.
I tried everyones suggestions and they still are not playing. To be more specific one of the movies was a digital download from itunes that we recieved with the bluray version of the movie and another was a movie that was purchased through itunes. I guess I will just have to recode them.
files were in .m4v which is a mp4 file type.
Thanks again for everyones help.
Forgive me for being new at this, but aren't there liscensing issues with itunes videos or the digital copies that come with some dvds? I have doubletwist & it works great for importing playlists from itunes but when I try to play any itunes videos it tells me playback is not authorized.

Correct. M4V if downloaded from itunes store is encoded. The easiest way around is download a program that rips the video why you watch it. Ill post a link in a little.

Decent player although its surely another galaxy s video player ripped and feature packed. That said Rockplayer being the other galaxy s rip will likely copy all features found here.

Unfortunately, it doesn't see the video taken by my Nexus S....

It does you have to select the camera folder on SD card and will search for media files in that directory
Thanks. Best player!
Works the same as Rock Player for me. RockPlayer decodes 720p (mkv) fine but theres no audio. Regular .avis have sound
Definitely nice video player though, I'll keep it
As usual, can't play anime mkv videos without doing slow-mo. I think vlc is the only third party app that can compete with the galaxy player.

Can someone help me, I have installed moboplayer on my Nexus S and I am have a few questions.
1. When I connect my Nexus S to my computer what folder/directory should I be putting my video files in?
2. When I start moboplayer on my Nexus S, I am also confused about which folders I should choose. Also, when I start moboplayer I get "there's no SD card, make sure it is usable".
Any help is greatly appreciated.

Highly recommend using dice player for best HD playback becasue it uses hardware acceleration unlike mobo, rockplayer..ect
But to your question
you manually select what folder you want it to scan i made a folder called Movies..also dont use the one in OP its now available on the market

I got the one on the market...
You were really vague in answering my question though. I am not new to computers but I am new to this. Do I have to modify (root) my Nexus for this to work?
For instance I connect my Nexus S to my laptop and can get the "removable disk (H" option in my computer. Can I make any folder within there and call it "movies"?
OR is there a specific sub folder I need to be in?
Thanks for your help.

The folders as seen in moboplayer don't mirror what I am seeing on my computer. That's is why I am confused.

hey
i downloaded rock player but when i play the movie using rock player the volume of the movie being played is pretty less... is there any player which is better than the rock player and which has high volume?
MX Video Player is by far the best video player on Android IMO.
It was the only player that could play 720p MKV with subtitles without any kind of lag, problems with subtitles or sound. You can also change between audio-tracks.
It also got a the prettiest interface.
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
Sent from my GT-N7000
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

Hiya,I get can't play video,the strange thing is I have 3 other videos I put on ages ago one is an avi,the other two are mp4 and they play fine. I've tried to replicate there format by reencoding using same settings such as frame rate bitrate ect but still no joy. I'm using imtoo ultimate to encode
Sent from GT-19000 CM 10.1. stable
Right. CM10.1 (in fact all ICS/JB builds) don't support .avis by default (not entirely sure why). Have you tried alternative video apps (and codecs if you need them)? When I used JB roms using other apps played my .avis fine...
Sent from my GT-P7510 using Tapatalk HD
I've used the default video player and mxplayer and vlc. What confuses me more is like I said I do have some videos on my phone already which play in all 3,Avi's and mp4. Can u recommend any good encoders at the moment I use I too video ultimate. Having tried any other but there so many. Thanks for your help by the way.
