[Q] Movie Format Problems

im fairly new to the android world.
im trying to get a movie (star trek) on my phone. it's mpeg4 format. according to the samsung website that format should work. so i transfer it from the computer to my phone, and when i play it it says file type not supported.
i downloaded a converter (total video converter) and converted it to every possible thing i can convert it to, watched videos on how to get videos on it. i don't understand the issue.
it is an itunes file, but i figured it being an mp4 it wouldnt matter.
here's what i'm doing.
tvc>import>startrek>choose format>convert now
plug phone into computer>explore files>add star trek to movies folder>video player>fail.
anyone else having issues getting videos on their phone?

Hmm strange. Most of my movies are xvid or H.264 with mp3 audio in an mp4 container (avi didnt work) and they work fine. Even 720p videos.
What format are you using?
Also: You aren't trying to watch it by browsing with a file explorer on your phone are you? Use the gallery or video player app.

i added enemy at the gates (.mkv) to my external SD card via drag / drop and it works just fine... not sure why your mp4 isn't working, though

well it being an mp4, initially i just drag and dropped it, it showed up in gallery and it wont play. it pops an invalid format error.
so i've tried converting it from mp4-mp4 h.264,and mp4 AAC, and can't get it to play.
i really don't know what else to do.
does samsung have a certain mp4 format? because that seems unlikely.

i just tried converting to .mkv, and it says unsupported file type.
btw my phone is stock, no hacking no rooting.

You say it's an iTunes movie. Did you buy it from the iTunes store? If so, one possibility is that the DRM implemented by Apple is restricting your playback. I don't know if Apple has started to play nice with other devices regarding movies and video content, but for the longest time I recall that songs purchased from the iTunes store could only be played by an iPod due to the DRM.

its not from the itunes store. i bought a blu-ray with a digital copy, and at the time i had a 3gs, so i registered the digital copy and sent it to itunes.
maybe i can convert it to something windows media player is compatible with...wmv? and sync it with my phone, ill see if that works i guess.

Generally, those digital copies have DRM and can only be transferred to devices in "sanctioned" ways.

yeah, sounds like a digital copy problem. mine was just a rip I got from phazed-dl... have you tried another movie yet?

and this is where your problem begins. What you can do is download a copy of the movie from the web since you already own the movie and legally obtained an original copy. This will avoid the drm issue.

All BD digital copies are DRMed. They are tied to either your iTunes or Windows Media Player on the PC (or in rare occasions PSP). These digital copies are not transferable to other devices that are not DRM compatibile.

I can not play 1080p mp4 files, is this a limitation of the phone. Is there a hack?

The phone records in 720P and has an 480 x 800 resolution. You should down convert your file - it is probably huge anyway.

You have a resolution of 960 x 540 on a screen that is 800 x 480 - so that could be part of the problem, unless the phone just lops off all 4 sides.

I use iPOdME to convert videos to mp4. It's free and does a great job. I actually have used it to put videos on my Zune 80gb (non HD Zune).

I have also done conversions at 800 x 480 with the same outcome.. In fact, I converted a movie for my hd2 and it played fantastic on my hd2. I then copied that same conversion on to the capti but it showed that stutter.

I know the movies i have converted for iPhone and AppleTV formats using DVDFab work fine. I would have to check settings when i get home. Going to try making an MKV with 800 x xxx resolution on the next converstion for kicks.

720p mkv's (x264 w/ ac3 audio) play flawlessly, as do 480p xvids (xvid mp4 w/ mp3 audio), downloaded from the "usual" places. The only problem I have found is the 4g file size limit on the fat32 internal sd.

Im using handbrake with anydvd still fine tuning but it was watchable out of the gate

MoboPlayer updated with Tegra 2 support

I haven't tried it yet but a new version of MoboPlayer is available with added Tegra 2 support:
http://moboplayer.com/moboplayer_en.html

yup, works great. Gotta get the codec (but you have no choice, when you open the app it tells you you need it and gives you market link, so you can't miss it!)

This has quickly become my video player of choice; however I'm honestly amazed that it doesn't play *.divx files like VLC does.

Is there any better playback for MKV?

Hmm I just re-downloaded Moboplayer with the codec it recommended from the market and now sound isn't working on anything...

I haven' tried a MKV yet but I will in a few, the market download gave me the same issue with no sound so I uninstalled everything and did a manual codec install from within mobo ... working perfect now

just tried with a downloaded MKV of a TV show...
Video played, but no audio. VIdeo was a little jerky...

the problem of your file is the high profile, tegra 2 doesn't support high profil that's all

I think this is an Android limitation rather than a Tegra 2 issue. Either way its hit and miss for me. One enccoder works flawlessly at 4500 while anything encoded by handbrake at that bit rate is choppy.

I thinking the "base only" profile was an h.264 limit...
and got a little confused by the CODEC ID: V_MPEG4/ISO/AVC thinking it was MP4, not x264 inside...
Funny the video plays fine, but the audio doesn't.
The ones I've run through Handbrake to turn into MP4's play a little smoother, at least on the Xoom's screen... HDMI out to my TV is still a little jerky

Can someone mirror the codec file please? I can't seem to hit their site.

As well as the Moboplayer.apk please. I have a serious issue where any file from the market will download and as it comes to install MyApps FC's and the app just won't install. Don't know what else to do, I've cleared data and caches from Market and MyApps, but still no joy.

I also have this problem when playing h.264 MKV files. However, there is a work around.
Within Mobo Setting, there is an option called "Default using soft-decoding" under Playback section.
The video will have audio playback, but it might be jerky or there is lag between video and audio depend on video file.

Glad I stumped into the Moto forum. The player works good with my Iconia A500 with RMVB files.!

I'd guess the audio doesn't play because it doesn't support hardware AC3 (DD) decoding?

This works for me, but I don't really understand why it's necessary. I have an mkv file with mpga audio and it plays the video just fine, but no audio. Isn't there a way to play the audio without taking the performance hit?

Yeh the lack of hardware audio decode is a real shame, means we have to switch to soft decode to get audio, hopefully there is something the mobo player team can do about it, maybe we should try get in contact with them?

Just to clarify, this does _not_ use Tegra hardware acceleration, its just optimized for the ARM core (Like using an SSE optimised binary on a PC)
The _only_ way we will get usable 720p+ h.264 (main profile) and/or use an MKV container is if the _platform_ gets updated with support for the MKV container and Nvidia update their OMXs for the platform.
No app will improve of the default playback

Question about mp4 files

I had in my sdcard some videos I had shot with my desire hd in mp4 format which the Note refuses to play
Funny thing is that the same videos won't play through ES File Explorer even though they played fine in my desire hd.
Any ideas?

Videos HD on Note
I have same problem neither mp4 of avi , not playing at all , you can find solution at least

Download MX Video Player from the Marketplace. This app should play those files with ease.
Sent from my Samsung Galaxy Note using XDA Premium app.

I have a ton of music videos from some iTunes albums. They all play fine. Anyway I can check to see if there special code or something.
I've been using stock video player since original galaxy s.
GALAXY NOTE

you need to keep in mind, not all mp4s are the same. mp4s are just a container. the video inside the mp4 could be using any number of potential codecs. generally i'd just say find an app that converts videos to suit the ps3. if it runs on the ps3, it will run on the note.

Use Rockplayer. Great player, good interface, easy to use and will play ANYTHING
you throw at it.

recommend video player that can handle high bitrate (HW decoding)

i've tried multiple players (so far the best being mx vid player pro), but it seems to lag on my galaxy note - when i play files recorded by my vDSLR (550d), edited in Premiere pro cs5, exported with exact same settings. it switches to software decoding mode which is probably the main reason why it lags.

Bit rate : 24.3 Mbps
That is extremely high bitrates, 3megabytes per second. It will have to lag unless you have an sd card or internal storage that can read that fast. Technical stuff aside, I guess a storage device would need to read at 25Mbps to view that video smoothly. However, all of the class 10 microsdhc cards I seen only rate up to 20Mbps read speed. I did a benchmark for the Note internal storage and it clocked at about 17Mbps for sequential read.
You'll have to reencode the video to lower bitrates, such as 5-10Mbps.
Try for yourself: CrystalDiskMark

yes i understand the bitrate is high - but that aside, it isn't even running in HW decoding mode to begin with, which taxes the CPU more than it should.. and i guess that should be the main reason it lags?
i tried the same vid on an iphone4 and it works well btw.

I prefer, QQ Player, I use it very frequent does quite good job for me

Test MX Video Player. If there's no sound try enabling audio software decoding.

I use Dice Player... It uses HW acceleration on a great quantity of video codecs.
I think that's the best video player actually

Dear dylansmith,
You can try bsplayer lite. It is also as good as dice player...
Kind Regards,

hi,
other than all these players - dice, MX, BSplayer, moboplayer,
any other super capable players that can handle high bitrate and support the most formats? i tried to play a 1.4gb MKV and all these players were lagging like hell on my Note.

for me moboplayer is very good (with hw decode of course)
besides it has some fun features (animated cover-flow is unique)

i'm afraid you got it wrong mate about sd cards speeds.
read speeds for nowadays sd cards are just 8 times faster (ie: speeds you mentioned are logical in bytes not in bits).
any class 4 (4MBps = 24 Mbps) should be able to serve the mentioned file without any problem.
which leaves the lag origin only as the decoding...

Good Video Player for MKV

Is there a video player for our device that can play 720p mkv files without a hitch. Playing 720p mkv videos often have "patches" or "blotch" Here is an example. I'm using MX Player with Neon codec.

MX player with HW+ setting enabled for local files plays them without a problem you don't need a neon codec also just enable that.

What player do you use? 720p or 1080p mp4 plays well on my phone though. Its just 720p mkv just doesn't do good.

you are right, vlc hangs on this file.
i dled it myself to confirm that.
the built-in player plays it without lags, if you install an app like AnTuTu CPU Master (free) and change the governor to "performance", but there are small color bugs whenever the subtitles change.
i guess this results from the video file not being encoded correctly for our devices.
the corresponding message on the pc when playing with mplayer is:"Could not find matching colorspace"
so the file is encoded with the wrong colorspace.
i guess your best choice would be to download correctly encoded files, since the converting of the color space eats up some cpu time, even when the color sorrection works as expected. there are plenty of mkv encodings of "one piece", so that shouldnt really be a problem

MX plays without lags but the discoloration and "patches" still is present . I don't have the stock player since I'm using CustoNexus. This is evident on all 720p anime downloaded directly from subbers... I think this is a limitation on all android phones...

this problem is not about the resolution of the file nor the container... it's because of the bits of the video... it happens because your episode is encoded in 10bits... the one that works best for me is MXPlayer... there's no video player (that I know of) for android that can perfectly decode 10bit videos :/ but if the encode isn't in 10 bits, all the mkv files play smoothly...
