[Q] How to convert mkv file to be played on Galaxy S

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.

[Q] Is there a way to have videos running when the screen is off? +other Qs!

Hey dear XDA peeps!
I have some videos, music videos, comic shows and so on, that I want to be able to listen to when I turn off the screen on the phone. Ive checked out options and havent found a way to do this yet. Anyone know if there is a way to do this?
Another question, are there an app that which makes it possible to save youtube vids as mp4 format? Like the addon to Firefox
Btw, does flash movies work for you guys? Youtube and other web pages flash movies doesnt work with the built in browser for me..

LEBUMP! Noone Wirth any information?

[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.

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

it does play everything, but software decoding lags, doesnt it?

Im currently using mvideoplayer and run really smoothly.

480p(640x480) works perfectly.
No playback lags.
And your video format should be .mp4 H.264 for best playback!

Hi mate,
Download freemake video converter to your pc and convert them! It can convert just about anything and then simply copy over to your sd card always works for me Although mx player can play almost anything so that should just play them.....what are you format are u converting from/to?

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.
